What wallpaper to choose for the bedroom: selection rules and 50 photos of interiors

The choice is always difficult. The choice of wallpaper is even more difficult due to the sheer number of options and possibilities. To narrow down the choice, you need to build on the conditions that are. So, if you choose wallpaper for a bedroom, you need to proceed from its purpose: the atmosphere should promote relaxation, create a calm background. Having decided on the color, they choose the type of wallpaper, then the texture, type of pattern. Well, and then the search for what you need begins in the retail network ...

Color selection

In the bedroom for a good rest, it is necessary to create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Psychologists have long known about the effect of colors on the psyche, and they even made a table, guided by which, you can easily find the colors that are most suitable for the bedroom.

The table of colors and emotions that they evoke

As you can see, the choice for the bedroom is not wide. But that's not all. The same psychologists have found that the same color on different surfaces is perceived by a person differently. For example, light green and blue on the walls create a feeling of coolness, and on the floor they cause a feeling of insecurity and fragility. To choose everything correctly, consider the following table.

Perception of colors on different surfaces

In this table, select from the column labeled "on the side". If we talk about the bedroom, then the most suitable colors of the two groups are beige + pink + light yellow and blue + light green + light gray. Only the second group is suitable for sunny rooms facing south and east, and the first for north and west. There are three colors left.

If the wallpaper for the bedroom of the room is selected during the renovation process, then you need to take into account the colors already in the interior. If textiles, say, can be changed, then the floor or furniture is far from always. Therefore, consider also the table that designers use when choosing colors for the interior. In it, matching colors are located vertically and horizontally.

The combination of colors in the interior (vertical and horizontal)

When creating an interior, not all of them must be used - the most inappropriate ones in your opinion can be ignored altogether or added in insignificant quantities. Using the same table, you can find wallpaper partners if you want to follow fashion trends and decorate the bedroom with combined wallpaper. Often they come in collections that have matching wallpapers. But such collections are usually expensive, so in order to save money, you have to look for combinations yourself. Find the color of the main background, look vertically and horizontally, which may suit you. This is a win-win: such a pair will look good.

The most common technique when combining wallpapers is to find a pair: plain and with a pattern on the same background

What wallpaper is better to glue in the bedroom

In this section, we will focus on the materials from which the wallpaper is made. Technologies allow the use of different materials that increase the durability of the finish, the fastness of paints and allow the walls to be washed even with a brush, and more than once. It is unlikely that it will be necessary to wash them in the bedroom, but the fact that the surfaces can be glossy, matte, even velvety is already interesting. Using wallpaper of the same color, but with a different surface, you can achieve an interesting effect.

So, what are the wallpapers:

• Paper. The most eco-friendly wallpaper for the bedroom. They can be thin and smooth - single-layer, or they can be dense, with an embossed pattern. Single-layer ones are usually the cheapest, but it is problematic to glue them: when wet, they stretch, tear, and even highlight all the irregularities on the wall.Multi-layered - duplex, triplex - are more expensive, although they also belong to the budget options. It is easier to work with them, and they allow you to hide small irregularities. The disadvantage of paper wallpapers is that they fade quickly and tear easily. Another feature is that they are rarely monochromatic: they look too simple in this case. Of the monophonic ones, only white ones are found mainly - they are glued to the ceiling.
  

  Paper wallpapers most often have some kind of pattern - of different types and sizes

• Vinyl wallpapers. A layer of polyvinyl chloride or other similar polymer is applied to the paper or non-woven base. There are different technologies for applying a vinyl layer, which allow you to get different surfaces, but silk-screen printing and heavy vinyl are usually interesting for bedroom decoration. Silk-screen printing looks very beautiful on even walls: the subdued sheen is very similar to the shine of natural silk. The disadvantage of this type of wallpaper is that vinyl creates an airtight film, which prevents the walls from breathing. But which walls do we have now breathing? If only wooden and without insulation. The rest certainly do not breathe, and the normal atmosphere in the premises is provided by ventilation. So this is not an argument, however, decide for yourself.

• Non-woven wallpaper. Flizelin is a non-woven material made from a mixture of natural (cellulose) and chemical fibers (polyvinyl chloride). It is used as a base on which a decorative coating is applied. So on a non-woven basis there can be both vinyl and paper wallpapers. They differ in more convenient gluing: in dry form on a surface greased with glue, moreover - any surface, even not quite even. Due to the elasticity and at the same time the strength of the base, they neutralize many surface imperfections. They often have a large roll width - a meter, which is also convenient - fewer joints, faster to glue. Their disadvantage is the high price: the production technology is more complicated, and the materials themselves are more expensive.
  

  Several color options for non-woven wallpaper

• Textile wallpaper. This type of finishing materials belongs to the middle and high price category. On a base made of paper (cheaper options) or non-woven (more expensive), a layer of natural material is applied - jute fabric, linen, cotton, velor, felt and even silk. Basically, their cost is determined by the price of the top layer. The surface depends on the texture of the material, it can look like a mat - if it is jute wallpaper or coarse linen, or it can be fluffy, like velor or felt. Since they are made of fabric, there are rolls of large width, such that the entire wall is glued with a solid canvas. They are also called seamless - the joints will be only in the corners. The disadvantage of these wallpapers is, firstly, the price, secondly, the surface that is capable of accumulating dust, and thirdly, they do not tolerate mechanical stress (they are wiped, torn). But all this is offset by a very attractive appearance.
  

  Textile wallpaper - an elite finishing material

There is another type of wallpaper - photo wallpaper. These are large format photographs printed on the base. Can be printed on any of the above types of wallpaper. There is a solid selection of ready-made images, it is possible to order printing individually - in specialized workshops or advertising agencies.

Just keep in mind that if the room has murals, the rest of the surfaces - walls, floor, ceiling - are made neutral and monochromatic. This wall will be the dominant, everything else is just the background. If the wallpaper is glued to the wall above the bed, it makes sense to pick up textiles in the same colors. You only need to get into the shades exactly. Then the whole room will look like a single whole.

Combined wallpaper for the bedroom

The latest trends in interior design allow the use of several colors, textures or patterns in one room. One of the most simple and, nevertheless, effective ways - combining wallpaper... If you have no experience, the easiest way is to use one collection. But in stock, usually they are not, you need to wait for the order, which is not always possible. Then you will have to select companion wallpaper yourself from those that are available. To make them look harmonious, you need to know some rules:

• Choose wallpaper of the same type and the same thickness, otherwise it will not be easy to dock them.
• Beginners should not use more than two different types of wallpaper in the same room.
• Before buying a batch for the whole room, it is best to see samples on site. You will not always be given pieces of wallpaper, and they will not help. You can buy two rolls, if available - already unpacked, and, if possible, agree on a return or replacement. Houses on the wall and see how well they look in your bedroom: Lighting plays a very important role. What looks great in a store doesn't always look good on the spot.

There are two ways to choose a good pair. The first is a plain basic wallpaper and a drawing on exactly the same background. It can be vegetal or geometric - choose to taste. Such companion wallpaper in the interior of the bedroom always looks great.

It is best to choose a plain wallpaper with an ornament on the same background

The second option is opposite colors. For example, on a dark background, a light pattern and its mirror color reflection - on a light background - dark lines. But this is only for two-color combinations. Also an option that always works.

The pattern is the same, the colors are the same, but the background and the lines of the ornament change color

This is the principle of selection, but you can also arrange companion wallpaper in different ways.

Accent wall

This technique is used most often: there are practically no opportunities to "screw up". Choose a wall that will attract the main attention. In the bedroom, this is usually the wall next to which the bed stands.

Much less often, the emphasis is on the wall opposite the bed. Then brighter or with an ornament wallpaper for the bedroom is glued opposite. It's just that not everyone likes to contemplate plain walls)))

If there are any flaws in the layout, in this way attention is distracted from them - they focus on the opposite wall, pasting wallpaper with a pattern on it, while the rest are pasted over with plain wallpaper.

Stripes

It is more difficult to play with the selection of a part of the wall: you can get the effect that was not intended at all. There are several proven ways to change the perception of a room.

If the room is not high, but you want a large bed. To avoid the feeling of a snuff-box, they highlight the area behind the bed with a more saturated color, maybe a little wider, but the wallpaper is also glued to the ceiling with the same strip. This method erases the edges of the room seems taller. In a company with competent backlighting, this effect is enhanced.

Blurring the edges between the wall and ceiling, visually making the room taller

The wide vertical stripes on the sides of the bed give about the same effect, but in a smaller volume. In the photo below, the wallpaper for the bedroom is textile.

Vertical stripes on the sides

You can make a striped wall, but often you should not alternate them - one or two on the surface. It is only important to choose the right place. For example, if the bedroom is long and narrow. Paste the short wall with brighter wallpaper and, stepping back from the corner for a certain distance, place another strip on the long surface. Visually, a short one will appear closer and wider.

Approximately the same result can be achieved if only part of the wall is pasted over with brighter wallpaper.

It is more difficult to beat the horizontal arrangement of different wallpapers in the interior. A clear horizontal demarcation dramatically lowers the ceiling. This type of decor is acceptable for stalinkas, in which the flows are too high.
