Classic wallpaper combination
For the bedroom, classic models are wonderful and often applicable. A wonderful, classic combination of wallpaper for this room comes in the following types:
- Models with a colored base background and a discreet pattern. This could be a pattern that looks like gold, silver, or a pattern that differs by 1-2 tones from the base one. Wallpaper with a prominent pattern is called accent wallpaper. With this material it is possible to cover only one wall in the room or two, but no more. Often this wallpaper is used to decorate the wall behind the bed, where a person lies with his head.
- Classic style with a large pattern, also in gold or silver color, looks expensive. It is important to make the rest of the decoration of the room similar, otherwise there will be a discrepancy in design.
- Wallpaper with a contrasting pattern. Such material is perceived in a completely different way. The decoration of the bedroom, with the wallpaper presented earlier, is arranged in a harmonious manner. There is a big difference in classic wallpaper with a catchy pattern and a low-contrast look. Wallpaper with contrasting patterns adds details to the bedroom interior. When this is not taken into account, and more details are added - bed linen, curtains and other items, then confusion will occur. Such wallpaper should be used exclusively on a single wall.
- Tapestries for painting. Wallpaper is produced with a pattern that is noticeable in reality, but it cannot be determined from the photo.
Drawings
Bedroom design with different wallpapers implies the presence of expressive patterns. It is important to avoid excessive diversity, since this is a place for relaxation and healthy sleep. Prints should be similar in color and size. Small patterns and thin stripes look great together, while large ones with wide inserts of the same color.
Floral motifs are selected for compositions with plants, and geometric abstract figures are selected for cages. It is better if adjacent colors are of the same saturation. We must not forget that excessive decor, bulky and elaborate designs will visually further reduce an already small bedroom.
Wallpaper companions
Their peculiarity is that, made in the same style, they differ in certain parameters. There may be a common surface and color, but different patterns. The neutral series provides a backdrop for a decorative accent. Taking into account the demand in the market, companies began to produce such wallpapers - from inexpensive paper to luxury ones.
The series includes several colors and fabrics with matching prints. It is important to maintain quality, texture and style.
This proposal allows you to easily choose wallpaper of 2 or 3 types, without having the appropriate knowledge. Some manufacturers as part of the collection offer not only different textures - liquid, paper, but also textiles and interior paints.
The advantage of companion wallpapers is that they are available from all manufacturers and choosing them to implement your own plan will not be difficult. Their use will get rid of both excessive diversity and too boring interiors. They are an ideal option for dividing an area into sectors and changing visual perception.
Modern type of wallpaper
In modern times, to create strict figures and patterns, it is practical to choose wallpaper. Black wallpaper with a non-highlighted or silver outline was borrowed from the classical direction. When you need to create the appearance of luxury, black is used in modern design.
Geometric shapes and broken patterns make an impression in modern bedroom decorations on matching wallpaper. This includes models with stripes and slight textures. The newest styles are based on minimalism. Therefore, wallpaper in neutral tones without a highlighted pattern will be an unusual option.
We use wall panels and niches
This type of wall decoration as panels is often found in classic interiors. It is made with two different types of wallpaper. A calm, neutral shade is attached to the base. Then the space is allocated and the edges are finished with plasterboard, wood, plastic or polyurethane baguette. Wallpaper with more interesting designs is placed in the middle. This way you get charming walls in a classic style.
For the niche, two types of textures are also chosen, but the edges are not edged. Instead, they make a recess in the wall, which can then accommodate vases, books, figurines or even a TV.
Where to start combining wallpaper
Nowadays, few people cover their entire bedroom with wallpaper. Ideas for combining wallpaper include the following models: accent rolls and background rolls. Dark ones with a bright, noticeable pattern are used as accent colors. Manufacturers take into account new trends and produce sets of wallpaper that are already selected for pasting within the boundaries of one room.
This is a good option without the risk that they won’t fit. In such sets you can distinguish between accent and background wallpapers, but sometimes they differ only in color. Materials with greater saturation are considered accent samples. Sometimes sets contain different colors of the same saturation.
This characteristic makes it possible to choose two different colors for the bedroom and combine them without thinking about compatibility. Good wallpaper compatibility depends on color brightness.
A few words about furniture
The functional purpose of the bedroom sets the requirements for the composition and quantity of interior items. In this case, the limited area must be taken into account. For a room intended exclusively for sleeping and relaxing, choose a bed, a wardrobe and a couple of bedside tables, if space allows.
In some cases, a crib or desk may be installed. In this case, despite the limited space, functional areas are highlighted. To achieve this, walls can be wallpapered with different designs, and different levels of lighting are provided.
When choosing furniture for a small bedroom, you should pay special attention to the bed. For a small bedroom, you should choose a functional model that has a lifting mechanism that allows you to place things in a special niche, or a drawer for storing linen. Some models have built-in bedside tables or shelves for storing various items.
The bed is placed in the center of the room or near the window. If you want originality and have enough space, you can place it diagonally, providing appropriate wall decoration.
Thus, for a small bedroom, you can choose wallpaper with a suitable pattern, which will make the room seem visually larger. Knowing the listed techniques, it is easy to achieve the desired effect without the help of specialists.
Combination options
There are incredibly many options for combining wallpaper in the bedroom. And with the flight of people’s imagination, even more of them will appear. It is customary to combine colors, tones, monograms, patterns and designs of wallpaper or to combine different textures within the boundaries of the same color:
- color spectrum. Spectrum means a combination of 1-3 shades. The first example, it is recommended to decorate one wall in a single color, take beige, it, changing 2-3 colors, flows into dark chocolate. The second option is to paint all the walls in the room in different shades of the same color, the transformation can be from gray to black. The color transition should smoothly move into another;
- balance. The root of this method is the combination of complex types of wallpaper with a unique pattern and simple products of a single color, the shade of which matches the color of the pattern of complex wallpaper;
- union of opposites. Using this method, you will be able to decorate a room well for young people. Also, combining wallpaper of highlighting shades is done according to the color wheel. So that such a union is not reflected psychologically, you should not decorate rooms in bright colors that are opposite to each other. One color can become an accent color, while the rest complement the overall look;
- game of textures. To emphasize the texture of the wallpaper, it is recommended to renovate the room in a single color. In this way, you will be able to carry out your plans and make a highlight on the embossing.
Horizontal arrangement
Although due to the complexity of execution, such a combination does not occur so often, it looks more original. Due to such stripes, the room looks more spacious. To avoid getting the opposite effect, you need the room to have a high ceiling.
Typically, in the “classic” or “Provence” styles, 2 stripes are glued with a 1:3 delimitation - plain or striped canvases at the bottom, and floral or abstract designs at the top. The joints are decorated. There are styles: “modern”, “retro”, “Provence”, “minimalism”, “classic”.
Combined wallpaper design
Many different options for combining wallpaper have been developed. Before mixing wallpaper from different sets, you need to think about the following: do the models fit together well? Which bedroom wall should I choose suitable models for?
- A frequently used technique is to highlight the bedside area with wallpaper behind the bed. If the wall behind the bed is small and the bedroom is shaped like a rectangle, then highlighting it is not the best solution. This includes a situation in which the wall behind the bed is loaded with elements: paintings, sconces, a towering and colorful headboard.
- The second way is to highlight a less cluttered wall. Using this combination technique, wallpaper often ends up on the wall on the side of the bed, because this wall is often less busy.
- The third method is the wall immediately behind the smart TV. The contrast of the wall will rival that of the TV, so it's not the best option for combining wallpaper. The design of combined wallpaper includes combining trellises on the wall. Alternatively, you can divide them into frames or longitudinal stripes.

How to glue companion wallpaper
When gluing companion wallpaper, you should follow the general operating algorithm that is typical for different wall paintings.
- Pasting always starts from the window opening. First, draw a vertical line using a plumb line.
- The first sheet is glued and wrapped in a corner on the adjacent wall. The canvas is glued overlapping in the corners.
- Using a carpenter's knife and a ruler, the canvas is cut along the line.
- The excess is removed, the edges are smeared with glue and aligned. This is required even in cases where the walls and corners are quite smooth, due to the fact that it is almost impossible to obtain accurate geometry.
If wallpaper is combined with a pattern , a shift should be provided at the joints when cutting the wallpaper to the width of the repeat. The sheets are attached to each other so that the design matches. A rubber roller or spatula is used for smoothing.
To attach wallpaper to the surface of the arch , you first need to place dry sheets over the arch. From the inside, a line is drawn along the contour along which the sheets are cut and glued. If the edges of the wallpaper extend beyond the edges of the arch, the dried canvas should be cut with a knife.
to form a veiled transition between wallpaper.
These are decorative panels created in the form of overlay convex strips that are used to decorate various surfaces.
Moldings emphasize neat finishing lines and draw attention to smooth walls. They are painted in shades that match the colors of the room design.
For a bedroom in the Provence style, simple panels are chosen, different in width and shape, with simple relief and a small pattern.
You can also use panels of wallpaper and baguette to decorate companion wallpaper. The baguette highlights the desired part of the wallpaper, which helps to create an appropriate accent and complement the interior with an effective decorative element.
Selection of two types of wallpaper
Wall decoration plays a major role in the color spectrum of the entire house and it is enough that the color of a single type of wallpaper is reflected in the interior, for example on furniture upholstery, ceiling or floor coverings, door design, objects. Let's look at examples:
- cold colors are: orange, yellow, red, and warm colors are purple, green. Combining warm and cold colors does not suit different properties. Therefore, they should be combined with calm tones or finished with an exclusively warm or cold color temperature;
- It is not recommended to decorate walls with several types of wallpaper in saturated colors. When bright and rich colors dominate in the design of one type, then in another it is better to choose a neutral palette. The same applies to finishing with a pattern or embossing. With them, you should choose models with a “non-flashy” design;
- A slight deviation from the planned color can spoil the overall appearance. If you decide to decorate a room with two types of trellises, it is better to purchase them in one store. Comparing samples of materials will allow you to avoid making mistakes in the selection;
- In an effort to save money, sometimes people try to fit wallpaper of different prices into one room. But such a union does not look attractive. If you don’t have a lot of money, then you can combine two budget options, brightening up their simplicity with interesting colors.
Texture
The combination of different textures in the design allows you to make the combination of two types of wallpaper barely noticeable. This option is suitable if you want to keep the classic look of the bedroom, but add a little zest to it. Smooth and textured wallpapers are best combined, and the latter should have a clear location: in a niche, in an area on the wall, on one of the walls. You can also take finishes with different textures, but combining them is more difficult.
Material
Wallpaper is made from paper, vinyl, fiberglass, etc. Each material has its own characteristics. You can try to combine two types of wallpaper in one room. But most designers agree that implementing such an idea is difficult. This requires a certain professionalism and skills: at a minimum, it is difficult to combine paper and vinyl trim. But you can try.
Background colors to combine
To combine wallpaper of two colors, the base includes universal basic colors - white and gray, which are combined with different bright palettes of colors.
If you take a non-white color as a basis, then you need to look at the compatibility table. For example, the background color is white, and the accent color can be purple, yellow, or red.
Ideal choice
Today, the fashion trend in design is shades of gray. They also often resort to beige, which is considered universal. It combines perfectly with warm and cold colors.
Brown and pleasant chocolate in a spacious, well-lit room cannot be compared with any other colors. Blue and turquoise are especially suitable for them.
The combination of wallpaper for the bedroom is the best solution to achieve harmony. By choosing a surface and a varied palette of colors, it is given a certain style - “modern”, “high-tech”, “country”, “Provence” and others.
Several identical canvases, differing by 2-4 tones, create an amazing combination of light and shadow and unobtrusively divide the space.
Unusual design using highlighting
The special beauty of the decoration in the bedroom will be created by a well-chosen combination of two types of wallpaper with different textures of related tones of the same color: sky and blue, green and light green, chocolate and beige tones.
In this situation, the main plane of the walls in the room is made smooth and light, and the space above the head of the bed is highlighted with clearer and darker wallpaper rolls.
The design is breathtakingly executed, where the accent fabric is glued to the top, smoothly transitioning into the ceiling area. This decoration allows you to make the bedroom more comfortable and separate. Non-woven trellises will serve as an insert.
They can perfectly decorate the ceiling, matching the expensive plaster, and after a while they can be repainted in a different color, refreshing the interior.
A few words about lighting
When choosing a wallpaper design for a small bedroom, you should focus on its lighting. If the windows of the room face the sunny side, and it is constantly filled with an excess amount of sunlight, you can give preference to canvases in cool colors. If the bedroom is located on the north side, the best choice would be canvases in warm colors.
What to do if you want a bright contrast?
First of all, you need to carefully work out a sketch of the future interior. This will allow you to see in advance which techniques will look appropriate and which ones are best avoided.
In most cases, you can select one of the four walls for accent decoration. With this approach, three walls are covered with plain wallpaper without a print or with a small, inconspicuous pattern.
We have prepared a separate article on how to combine wallpaper of different colors in the bedroom - “Combined wallpaper for the bedroom - new photos”
The fourth wall can be fully or partially decorated. A different shade or photo wallpaper is used. The work is carried out on the principle of creating a fresco or bas-relief. Those. the contrasting area needs to be enclosed in a kind of frame, given a frame. This will help avoid the effect of cheapness and simplicity.
If the room is decorated in a modern style, ornate baguettes and stucco will look out of place. In this case, you can use simple smooth polished slats.
When you want to emphasize the structure of a material, brush the surface with a stiff brush on the metal. She will select some of the fibers, revealing the beauty of natural wood. After this, apply dark paint to the slats with a long-bristled brush and, without waiting for them to dry, wipe with a soft cloth.
The paint will highlight the unique texture and relief of the material. This design is suitable for modern, eco-style, Provence. High-tech welcomes a smooth surface and varnish.
It is advisable to place accent areas at the head of the bed or near the sofa. However, it is not forbidden to transfer them to the opposite wall.
Preparation for gluing
Knowing how to hang two types of wallpaper in the bedroom, you can protect yourself from significant mistakes and create the most harmonious and comfortable interior that will retain its aesthetic properties for a long time.
The key problem in this process is the need to comply with the gluing characteristics of each material used : often different types of wallpaper require different conditions to be met for a durable effect. Therefore, consult with experts in advance about the features of gluing the selected wallpaper.
Calculate in advance how many rolls of each type will be enough to decorate your bedroom.
Advice: if you have not done wallpapering before, stick to non-woven and paper coverings. Paper wallpaper can be glued to the surface without any problems due to its lightness, and non-woven wallpaper will become indispensable if there are small irregularities and imperfections on the surface of the walls, as they will perfectly camouflage them.
Since mostly the photos of bedrooms covered with two types of wallpaper show only the final result, let us dwell in more detail on the practical aspects of this issue.
Be sure to prepare the surface for subsequent gluing: remove old wall coverings (you can use a damp sponge for this), fill up uneven surfaces, and repair dents and cracks . If the wall has not been wallpapered before, a primer is necessary.
You need to start gluing with wallpaper, which will act as the main wallpaper . Such wallpapers predominate in the interior or are glued in the central part of the room to create an accent in a separate functional area.
The priority of such gluing is due to the fact that the further formation of the composition will depend on these coatings. If combining horizontally, start from the bottom of the wall.
After viewing the finished bedroom interiors with two types of wallpaper, choosing the appropriate combination option, preparing the surface of the walls and purchasing materials, you can start gluing.
When combining different materials on a surface, it is extremely important to prevent joints and seams from being visible . For this, the overlay method is used: additional canvases are applied to the main wallpaper in the required sequence, and the excess edges are cut off with a stationery knife or blade.
Tip: to get an original effect, you can cut such wallpaper along a pre-designed path, for example, in the form of waves or zigzags. The design of wallpapering two types in the bedroom in a non-standard way will emphasize the main advantages of your interior.
In many photos of options for gluing two types of wallpaper in the bedroom, photo wallpaper is used as the main element. Modern photo wallpapers are made from paper, non-woven fabric, textiles and other materials, so you can easily match the design to regular wallpaper without noticeable seams . And the process of gluing photo wallpaper with your own hands will captivate both you and your household.
Some photo wallpapers are produced on a self-adhesive basis, so the gluing process will not take you much time. As a result of combining photo wallpaper with wallpaper of another type the size of the room expands , especially if you have chosen panoramic images or scenes with perspective as your picture.
Methods of gluing
How to combine two types of wallpaper in the bedroom? In addition to the above combination methods, the following variations are common:
- horizontal combination (dividing the wall into two parts horizontally);
- vertical combination (creating stripes from wallpaper of different types);
- accent combination (in a bedroom with two types of wallpaper, the main wall stands out);
- detailed combination (creating decorative paintings and appliqués from fragments of wallpaper of a different type) and others.
By implementing any of the possible options for gluing two types of wallpaper in the interior of a bedroom, you can achieve several effects at once: mask imperfections and emphasize the features of the interior, change the size of the room or distract attention from an incorrect layout, divide the space into several zones and emphasize the main ones.
Unlimited practical and aesthetic combination possibilities make this method increasingly popular in modern interiors.
Playing with space dimensions
It’s rare to get a room with the ideal size and proportions. Often the bedroom space turns out to be too small or non-standard in shape. With the right approach to design, it is easy to visually adjust the existing territory.
The following solutions are popular:
- Vertical stripes “raise” the ceiling;
- Horizontal lines contribute to the feeling of increased area;
- A dark wall next to a light one has a beneficial effect on the size of the room and corrects irregular shapes.
In all cases, it is important to use photo wallpaper in combination with monochromatic options. The main thing is to choose the right picture.
With the help of a successful image, the corrective power of design can easily be doubled.
