Interior decoration: photo wallpaper Automatic translate

A simple design trick that awakens the imagination, photo wallpaper, easily changes the entire understanding of the interior. With them, an ordinary children’s room “turns” into a fairy-tale kingdom. A tiny bathroom “becomes” the wide shore of a huge ocean.

What are the best photo wallpapers made of?

• Washable vinyl ones remain neat for a long time. Their fairly bright colors retain their beauty for a long time. An accidental stain can most often be wiped off without leaving a trace with a damp cloth.
• Paper versions are usually preferred by those who often change the aesthetic design of their interior. Such wallpapers are not very durable and are hygroscopic. It is difficult, sometimes impossible, to remove stains from them. But paper that has undergone minimal chemical treatment releases fewer harmful substances into the atmosphere of the room. This option is perfect, for example, for a nursery where a young artist is growing up.
• Using non-woven fabric, a fairly durable waterproof material. Available in two versions. This can be wallpaper consisting of several compressed layers of non-woven fabric. Another version of photo wallpaper, on a non-woven basis, is more popular. The layer carrying the image in this case can be paper (for children’s), PVC (for kitchens and other wet rooms) or textile (for living rooms, bedrooms).
• On fabric. The base can be canvas, viscose, linen or silk fabric, combined with a backing paper or non-woven layer. This is the most luxurious and expensive type of wallpaper. High environmental friendliness is ensured by natural materials of the front layer.
• To decorate bathrooms and swimming pools, a photographic image can be applied to ceramic, glass or plastic tiles.

In which rooms are photo wallpapers appropriate?

• The living room is the place for the most impressive experiments with photo wallpaper. This is a recreation area. Therefore, you can find a variety of images here. For example, a cityscape.
• The bedroom requires more privacy. Natural landscapes in soft colors and flowers displayed in soft shades are suitable for decorating such a room.
• Children’s room. The fairy-tale world of this room can be inhabited by cartoon and fairy tale characters. Wallpaper reflecting the hobbies of the resident of this room can depict, for example, ships on the ocean. It is important to change the “pictures” in this room in a timely manner. So that they seem to “grow” together with its inhabitants.
• Entrance hall and cramped corridors. Light, “spacious” landscapes with a good perspective will help to visually “spread” and “illuminate” them.
• Bathroom. Relaxing sea themes predominate here.
• Kitchen. A small room can be “expanded” with a landscape, a terrace, or “exit” to the garden.
• Dining room. Nothing should interfere with the direct purpose of this corner of the house. Here you can most often find large or small images of fruits and vegetables. Orchards, wine barrels or the streets of ancient cities are suitable, turning the dining area into a kind of cafe.
• Cabinet. There should be a working mood here. Depending on the character of the owner of this room, the image can be bright and tonic. Or muted, calming.

Carefully! Photo wallpaper is much more difficult to remove from a room or replace with others than a more portable painting or photograph. Therefore, it is important to choose an image with which coexistence will be quite comfortable.

How big can the image be?

• Most often these are wide landscapes that occupy the entire wall area, or photographs of interesting interiors.
• Photo wallpapers with reproductions of paintings , small photo paintings or modular paintings can become an original solution in the design of rooms.
• Narrow ones, which are vertical or horizontal stripes of photo wallpaper, are very impressive.

Color, light and style

A dark room can be brightened up a little by using photo wallpaper “filled” with light. A dark image will dim even the brightest room. The image on such wallpaper most often takes up a lot of space, so its color scheme will influence the color perception of the entire interior. It is important that the photo wallpaper matches the color of the entire room.

The style of the image on them should not conflict with the style chosen for the decoration of the room. For photo wallpaper, you should choose one of the walls of the room. In order not to distort or break the design, most often they do not hang anything on it.

Photo wallpapers, unlike almost eternal interior bas-reliefs and frescoes, provide quite a wide scope for all kinds of experiments. A familiar picture in any room can be relatively easily replaced with a new one. At the same time, they are quite durable. With them, the interior remains creative for a long time.
