The lighting of the premises, the psychological comfort of the individual and even the visual area of the rooms depend on the material used in the manufacture of wallpaper.

Type characteristics of the material
Regardless of financial capabilities, with a strong desire, each subject will be able to update the design of the bedroom, taking advantage of the visual characteristics of the wallpaper.
So, the following material options are distinguished:
- Paper - characterized by a cheap price and a variety of colors of wallpaper for the bedroom. The big disadvantage of such a canvas is its low quality;
- Multilayer consists of several layers (duplex and triplex). Distinctive qualities are a massive pattern and a denser fabric structure. Also a budget option;

Combination of wallpaper with other interior items
Every attribute in the room plays a role in the correct and complete perception of the interior. Therefore, many try to choose the most advantageous combination of curtains and wallpaper. In order not to make a mistake, you must adhere to some selection rules.
Curtains to match the wallpaper. The most optimal and common option. But you should not choose completely one color. This way the curtains will merge with the walls. It is enough to choose a tone lighter or darker to make the bedroom seem cozy.
If the wallpaper has a catchy pattern, then the curtains should be selected in neutral tones. It is not recommended to hang braid or lambrequin on curtains. With this choice, the emphasis will be on the walls.
When the wallpaper has a monochromatic, calm color, you need to hang bright and catchy curtains. This way you can avoid despondency in the bedroom interior. Just keep in mind that this technique will be appropriate with the right combination of wallpaper and curtain colors.
The most convenient option is white curtains. Pairs perfectly with any wallpaper in various interior styles. The only obvious drawback will be that such curtains need to be washed very often.
Some people believe that the bedspread and wallpaper should match. However, this is not the case. To diversify the interior, many designers advise choosing patterned bedspreads with plain walls.
It is necessary to decide what the main emphasis will be on. If on a bed, then it is better to choose a brightly colored bedspread. If the bed fades into the background, then it is better to choose a bedspread in the same shades as the wallpaper.
The nuances of pasting walls
Regardless of the type of wallpaper, working with gluing involves performing the following functions: removing the old coating and surface repair of the walls (for long service life of the trellises).
The glue is selected according to the composition of the wallpaper.
- For paper and multi-layer fabrics, the CMC adhesive composition is useful.
- For vinyl there are special brands indicated on the canvas.
- Non-woven wallpaper requires expensive and high-quality adhesive.
Examples of harmonization of patterns and textures
Fashion trends offer many options for combining rolls. When making your own choice, you may not take into account important details that during work will overshadow the result of the repair and your mood:
- do not choose a large number of different rolls. For a beautiful combination, two are usually enough: with an active tone and pattern, and basic ones;
- finishing materials must be of the same thickness and texture; if this is not taken into account, it will not be possible to carefully process the joints.
For example, for a fashionable design, before gluing two types of wallpaper in the bedroom, it is determined by the scale of the room. In miniature rooms it is advisable to prefer a striped pattern, while in large rooms other combinations are possible.
With floral design
Wallpaper with a floral pattern is suitable for Provence style, modern and classic. They place it differently. Combine floral print with plain rolls or vertical stripes.
It will be beautiful if you stick an image of three-dimensional plants above your bed or sofa. This trick is often used to increase space in small rooms.
Strip
Stripes will not only bring beauty, but also adjust the room. Depending on how you want to cover the rolls, you can make a wider or taller room.
Vertical stripes are elongation, and horizontal stripes are expansion.
Under plaster
Many people like coating with plaster materials because they can be easily combined with other textures: ornaments, images, stripes and photo wallpapers. They are used only for the active wallpaper database.

Wallpaper combination

When choosing a material, you need to consider these aspects:
- Textile trellises are expensive. They are dust collectors. Requires careful care;
- Fiberglass wallpaper will help hide uneven walls due to its considerable weight. They are a universal option. Such wallpaper can be painted many times. This will not change the quality;
- Non-woven wallpaper can only be painted with latex several times, otherwise the structure may be damaged. Requires careful handling due to the softness of the material;
- Pressed vinyl fabric is not damaged. Simulates the effect of silk-screen printing;
- Foamed vinyl wallpaper has a convex surface. They require careful handling;
- Liquid fabric. Acts as sound insulation. Insulates walls. The drawing is made at the request of the customer;
- Paper trellises. Meet all environmental standards. Requires only wet care using a cloth;
- The stereoscopic canvas has an optical illusion effect. These materials depict arches, doors and windows.
Each bedroom, even the smallest one, can be decorated with wallpaper so that it is not inferior in comfort and design to a large room.
To do this, you just need to study the types of wallpaper and their characteristics. And then you are guaranteed an interesting bedroom design.
Choosing bedroom decor in light colors
In addition to decorating the walls, you can decorate the surfaces. Rugs, bedspreads, vases, paintings, figurines and candles are chosen as decoration.
An excellent option is to decorate the bedroom with curtains. Translucent curtains are very popular now. Especially thread curtains decorated with beads. Remember that curtains and curtains must be made from natural fabrics if you want them to last you a long time.

Cream shades
Warm delicious beige and cream tones are very suitable for the bedroom. They add muted light to the sunlight falling from the window and the room becomes more comfortable, especially in the evening light.
Which wallpaper to choose for the bedroom? In this case, you should adhere to the rule of color combinations: choose warm wallpaper to match the warm tones of the furniture. Brown furniture looks good with wallpaper in pastel shades: beige, white, light yellow, gray. These colors will add warmth and comfort to the bedroom interior.
You should not choose wallpaper with bright patterns and prints. This would be inappropriate in the bedroom. At the head of the bed, you can combine two tones, for example, light green and pale yellow, by gluing them in stripes. On a wall with cream wallpaper you can hang a painting in soothing beige tones. A bright interior should not be decorated with fresh flowers in pots. They will disrupt the grace and airiness of the style.
You can enliven and excite the room with colorful festive elements. It is important not to disrupt the unity of the style solution so that decorations do not suppress the mood of the design. The colors for decorative items should be chosen inconspicuously - yellow, blue, pink. They can be added to bedspreads, pillows, lamp decorations and wall decorations.
Placement of accents
When thinking through the interior, you need to decide what exactly the emphasis will be on: soft colorful accessories, furniture or wallpaper.
The colors of accessories should not be very bright. These could be yellow decorative pillows, a blanket with blue touches, pink flowers (artificial or real), multi-colored lampshades, pastels.

When using a bright color, you need to make sure that it is complemented by accessories or furnishings, otherwise it will look aloof.
Sometimes wallpaper used to decorate an accent area is glued to the ceiling, increasing the height of the room. The perception of the size of the room is influenced by the pattern of decoration. A small vertical pattern visually lifts the ceiling, while diamonds expand the room.
The coloring of a large pattern should be soft. In a large room, canvases with vertical multi-colored stripes, with large elements, are appropriate. Another technique is patchwork combination: connecting decorative fragments.
