During the repair of a house or apartment, the question always arises, which wallpaper is better to paste: monochrome, but textured, or with different drawings? If you choose the elegant wallpaper, which create a festive atmosphere in the room, they will be an independent decorative element of the interior. With monophonic wallpaper, beautiful furniture is especially noticeable, and the wallpaper itself is only a background of the situation. There is one more variant of design of a premise: a combination of wall-papers of various types, so-called wall-paper-companions. At the same time, you can imagine the interior of the room in the most favorable light, hiding all its shortcomings and highlighting the advantages.
By combining background and decorative wallpaper-companions for decoration of walls, you will get unexpectedly refined and exclusive design of the room. With the help of such wallpaper, companions can create zones in the interior of the living room-studio, or the children's room.
How to choose wallpapers-companions?
Having decided to combine the decoration of the walls, listen to some tips:
- buy the wallpaper if possible in one shop so that you can choose the right shades, and the best option: to combine wallpaper of the same texture, quality and thickness;
- the color of the wallpaper-companions must necessarily repeat in the interior of the room, and then the design will look harmonious and finished;
- take into account the height of the ceiling in the room, in a low room it is better to choose wallpaper with a vertical pattern, and in a narrow room you should not have a horizontal drawing along the length of the wall;
- if you use combined wallpaper of different texture, then select those in which there is still some identical element, for example, a drawing;
- maybe a combination for the walls of contrasting wallpaper-companions, but if one type of wallpaper you have chosen, for example, with bright floral ornament, then the other kind should be monophonic or with a small discreet drawing.
- in a small room, carefully combine contrasting wallpaper to avoid a sense of overabundance and obsession. But in spacious rooms with the help of a variety of wallpaper, you can divide the space into zones.
How to glue wallpaper companions?
You can glue the combined wallpaper in several ways.
- Vertical wallpaper. To decorate this way, stripes can be alternated through one. Looks great alternation of wallpaper in stripes with wallpaper in a small flower, inherent in the retro style. The docking of wallpaper can also be done differently: in a traditional way, as well as with an original zigzag or wave. But the implementation of such a docking is complicated, therefore only a professional should do it. Such vertical wallpaper-companions can be used, for example, to create an interior design of a bedroom or an entrance hall.
- Horizontal wallpaper. This method is very common today. The wallpaper joint should be about 1 m above the floor in low rooms, and 1.5 - 2 m in high rooms. First you need to glue the top, then the bottom. After that, the joint is made out - it can be a paper or ceiling curb , a wooden strip or molding . For example, in the interior of the kitchen will look perfectly monochrome beige and striped wallpaper-companions.
- Coat inserts. First, paint the wall or stick one wallpaper, and then paste on the top of the thick wallpaper. Such labels can be decorated with thin wooden lintels, which is inherent in baroque or classical style. Excellent wallpaper will look like wallpaper on the wallpaper-companions for the children's room, living room or even kitchen.
- Quilted wallpaper. For this method, wallpaper companions should fit well with each other. They can have the same color, but different shades. Or you can combine wallpapers of different colors, but with the same ornament. It is necessary to cut the wallpaper into pieces and paste them, for example, in checkerboard pattern or with an imitation of a quilt. Such cheerful wallpaper will be appropriate in the children's room.
