Despite the seeming simplicity, plain wallpaper can become a highlight of any design. Their main advantage lies in the ability to set the background and the desired mood for the entire environment. The wall decor does not overload the visual perception of the environment, but forms a relaxing and calm atmosphere, which is confirmed by the photos of the rooms pasted over with it.

Stylish plain wallpaper for the walls of a comfortable living room

The absence of patterns and drawings on such canvases allows the use of bright and original accessories in the interior - paintings, frames, shelves. Also, materials favorably set off furniture and curtains. In addition, today you can buy monochrome coatings with a textured surface or a pronounced relief. The unusual texture is attractive in itself and does not require additional decorations.

Varieties of monochrome paintings

Coatings of the same color are divided into the following groups:

by material of manufacture - paper, vinyl, fiberglass, non-woven, textile. Paper products are inexpensive, while textiles and fiberglass are more expensive;
by the structure of the canvas - single and duplex;
by color - factory dyeing or for painting;
in texture - smooth and embossed;
by texture - stylized as natural materials, as fabrics or without them.

You bought a house or decided to renovate, and for wall decoration the choice fell on the traditional option for our country - wallpapering. Monochromatic wallpaper with all its diversity will help to embody the most daring ideas. You just need to figure out how to choose the most worthy option.

Views

If you want to buy not just beautiful wallpaper for the walls, but also a high-quality, durable product, then you should understand the classification of wallpaper:

By the type of surface, they can be divided into two groups: smooth and textured (with embossing, small cut pattern, pasted pattern or any other relief).
By the number of layers - single-layer and multi-layer.
According to the degree of gloss - matte and glossy. Gloss can be negligible or highly reflective.
By the density of canvases: light with a density of less than 110 g / m2 (most often single-layer), medium (110-140 g / m2) and heavy with a weight of more than 140 g per 1 m2 (thick multilayer).

According to moisture resistance, wallpaper is divided into:
- ordinary, not tolerant of contact with moisture;
- moisture resistant with a special moisture protective layer. They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth;
- washable, can be cleaned using various cleaning solutions. Also stand out super-washable wallpapers, which can even be treated with powders with abrasive particles and brushes.

Material

It depends on the material how the wallpaper will stick, hold, look over time:

Paper wallpaper are the most budgetary of those presented in stores. Moreover, they have a huge selection of colors and shades, they even meet with a relief surface. There are two types: simplex (single layer) and duplex (double layer)

Non-woven wallpaper... They are made on the basis of non-woven material with natural or synthetic fibers - interlining. The lower the density of such wallpapers, the more they stretch. This is an important aspect when carrying out repairs.

Vinyl wallpapers are made by applying foamed vinyl on a paper or non-woven base. There are products that are both smooth and with large embossing. Decorations with large ornaments will look good in the hall of a country house with a high ceiling.

Fabric wallpaper are obtained by applying a layer of fabric to a layer of paper or non-woven fabric. Due to the use of different types of fabrics, such as silk, viscose, linen, cotton and others, they can have a smooth, embossed and silky structure.

Technique for creating acrylic wallpaper similar to vinyl. Acrylic is applied only to the paper or non-woven layer. But it cannot cover the entire surface of the base, so the texture of the wallpaper is only embossed.

The world's most popular liquid wallpaper are just starting their way on the market of our country. This is a mixture of glue and various fibers with additives, which must be applied to the walls with a spatula.

Glass fiber are created by interweaving fiberglass in the form of different ornaments. They are very durable, so it is beneficial to use them in new houses: when shrinking, you can not be afraid of cracks and tears on such material. To obtain different shades, they are covered with paint.

Wallpaper from natural materials... In their manufacture, cork veneer, bamboo or metal foil with various patterns are used.

Dimensions (edit)

In Russian stores, wallpapers with a width of two sizes are presented:

half-meter(mostly cheaper wallpapers are presented in this category). Their width is 53 cm with slight deviations;

meter(it is faster to glue them on the wall).

The length of wallpaper in a roll is customary for a Russian buyer - 10 meters.

Sizes differ depending on the material. Paper wallpaper is standard half-meter and meter-long, in a roll of ten meters. Non-woven fabrics have roll lengths up to 25 meters. Acrylic and vinyl wallpapers are made in widths and 70 cm with a standard ten-meter length.

Fabrics start with a width of 70 cm due to the peculiarities of manufacturing.

And when buying expensive fabric wallpaper, you will be counted not by rolls, but by running meters.

Colors

Light shades are considered optimal: white, beige, gray. It is easier to work with them for a novice amateur designer, while a professional interior designer has unlimited imagination in this case. But don't be afraid to use colored wallpapers. It's just worth exploring the beneficial color combinations a little deeper:

Yellow gives a feeling of joy, symbolizes energy and intelligence. Suitable for decorating a kitchen, an office for extraordinary personalities.

Shades of blue decorate the bedroom. It is a peaceful color and is also perfect for a nautical theme. But do not get carried away with the dark blue variations - they can add gloom.

Pink, delicate peach, sand wallpapers are the most versatile and give a feeling of space, comfort and warmth.

Olive, purple, red gold - many are afraid to use such complex shades. But you just need to choose the right combination.

Olive color gloomy for a nursery, and in a living room or bedroom, in combination with green, beige or pale blue, it can look very fresh and fashionable.

Varieties of red, orange, gold should not be used on all walls, just one accent will give a unique character to your home.

Style

Monochrome wallpapers are great for interior decoration, designed in different styles:

Wallpaper in the Scandinavian style, as a rule, in light shades, without pronounced ornament, it is possible to use natural materials.

In the classics, light shades with gilding, shine, tints are preferred.

Decor in the style of Eastern countries - brighter and more monochromatic walls can be combined with trimmings with textured floral designs (for example, Turkish cucumbers).

The Baroque and Rococo styles are similar to each other, but the rococo shades are more delicate. In a classic or palace theme, it is better to decorate large rooms.

The modern style assumes plain wallpaper in cold shades for bedrooms, and warm and rich colors in living rooms and halls. The texture can be under the skin, suede and even plaster. Eco-style is gaining popularity, where natural materials will be appropriate. In the loft theme, paintable or liquid wallpapers that imitate metal, concrete, as well as brick and stone are applicable.

Decor

Decorating a room with wallpaper carries not only a decorating function, but can also help hide flaws. If there are irregularities and cracks on the walls, you can hide this by highlighting a flat wall with a bright contrasting color or combine matte textures with glossy ones.

Vertical solid stripes in contrasting colors, such as gray and pink, will look very impressive in the living room, creating dynamics and mood. You can also vertically combine plain and patterned wallpapers, working in a classic style or imitating a palace interior.

Horizontal combination also involves decorating plain wallpaper with borders. A darker finish with a bold pattern on the bottom can be separated from a solid light shade of the same color on the top. The room will not appear squat. Or, on the contrary: a dark monochromatic bottom and a small, pleasant to the eye, plant ornament on top.

Plaster decor will well emphasize bright wallpaper. And the texture with deep color embossing will decorate a niche in a room with light uniform walls.

Design

Designers have their own tricks for each room. The bedroom should be comfortable, conducive to relaxation and tranquility. Pastel shades without a pattern predominate here. If you nevertheless decide to highlight one of the walls with color or texture, then the entire interior should be expressed in calm colors.

There is a lot of movement, conversation, activities in the living room. Therefore, you can add brightness to the interior or zone the room using calm and rich colors in combination.

How to choose?

Let's formulate the rules for choosing wallpaper:

Decide on the purpose of the purchased product. For rooms with low ceilings, light colors, embossing with vertical lines and medium-sized ornaments are suitable. A non-woven coating is suitable for the living room, vinyl for the corridor and kitchen, and for the nursery mostly made of paper or natural materials.
If there is a relief pattern, then fitting will be required. And the number of wallpapers should be increased.
Pay attention to the size of the rolls.
There are specialized adhesives for different materials. An incorrectly selected composition can ruin the entire repair. Also, the methods of applying the glue are different. For paper, glue is applied to the wallpaper, and for non-woven fabric, it is applied to the wall.
The density of the wallpaper must be at least 110 g / m2. Otherwise it is very easy to break them.
At the time of purchase, it is necessary to check all rolls by color. It must be identical. Because in different batches, the manufacturer may supply slightly different shades.
For areas located on the sunny side, it is better to choose a slightly fading wallpaper.

For some of the intricacies of choosing a plain wallpaper, see the next video.

Advantages and disadvantages

Paper wallpaper is budgetary, environmentally friendly (well suited for a nursery), easy to stick, but not washed and fade badly. Waterproof wallpaper is easy to clean, but does not allow air to pass through (it is better not to use them in bedrooms). Fabric wallpapers are expensive and difficult to use, although they are very effective in the interior.

Combining wallpaper will help you create an original and stylish interior. Using various application techniques, the design of the apartment will become unique, and little tricks will not only decorate the interior, but also correct the imperfections of the room.

Having made the decision to make repairs in the room by combining wallpaper, it is worth considering the area, location, purpose and proportions of the room.

When choosing the main tone, it is necessary to start from the area. In a small room, it is inappropriate to use a dark color palette, a light pastel palette looks more harmonious, which will visually increase the area of the room.
In a spacious room, a combination of dark colors and volumetric patterns is permissible.
Location plays an important role. In a room with windows facing north, it is better to use a warm palette to compensate for the lack of sunlight.
From the south side, opposite cold shades look more harmonious, they will give a breath of fresh air.
In an apartment with high ceilings, you should not combine wallpaper with vertical patterns.
You can adjust the height of the ceilings using horizontal stripes and volumetric images. The same rule works in the opposite direction; for small rooms, light monochromatic wallpapers and a small discreet pattern are suitable.

Combination methods

Combination with vertical stripes

With the help of striped wallpaper, you can visually increase the height of the ceilings. The frequency and bandwidth is a matter of personal preference. When buying material, you should stop your choice on rolls of the same size and, if possible, one collection. In this case, in the finished version, the finish will look like a solid composition. The color palette can consist of two close to each other and contrasting colors.

In the photo, one of the walls of the kitchen is decorated with striped wallpaper.

Combination horizontally

Horizontal patterns and stripes can push the walls apart and make the room wider. This finishing option is suitable for rooms with high ceilings; in a compact room, a feeling of a low ceiling may appear.

Another way of combining is dividing the wall in two horizontally, the upper half, as a rule, in a lighter color than the lower one. Often the lower part is made of wall panels.

Accent wall

Most often, the accent wall becomes the one on which the gaze falls when entering the room. A bright shade or three-dimensional image will "move" the wall, in this way you can bring a long narrow room a little closer to the shape of a square. Depending on the stylistic direction, the main color can be similar in tonality to the accent wall or be radically different.

In the photo, the accent wall in the bedroom is decorated with pink photo wallpaper with flowers.

Plain and solid

Different shades of the same color will help zone the space and create a play of shadows. For example, a part of the bedroom is finished in a light gray shade, and the sleeping area is in a deep saturated color.

Pattern or ornament and monochromatic

One of the most common finishing methods is the combination method. Floral designs or ornament can overlap with the style of the interior. The pattern is applied with a stencil, sticker or wallpaper canvas. Today, you can often find collections in stores in which monochromatic options are presented and with a pattern applied to the same base.

Pattern and pattern

In one room, completely different patterns can harmoniously exist, but they should be united by a common note. It can be general motives, elements or color.

Combining photo wallpaper with wallpaper

Wall murals can significantly increase the area of the room. Perspective wall murals, such as a road or a high waterfall, will stretch the room and make it wider.

In the photo there are perspective wallpapers (receding pier), which help to visually increase the height of a small bedroom.

Considering that the wallpaper itself has a three-dimensional and colorful image, it is worth combining them with a calmer tone so as not to overload the room.

Focal point

In order to highlight any area, for example, a fireplace or TV, use a background wallpaper. Part of the wall may have a solid color that differs from the main shade or be with an unusual pattern.

Decorative ornaments

An unusual picture is formed by elements framed in frames and moldings. Against the background of a calm shade of wallpaper, there may be inserts with ornate patterns. Such a combination is suitable for a classic interior.

In the photo in the living room in the classic style, the wallpaper is decorated with moldings.

Patchwork technique

Patchwork technique is suitable for decorating a nursery or bedroom. The point is to combine the overall picture of scraps of different wallpapers. When gluing, you must observe an even seam.

Highlighting niches

An interesting solution would be to highlight the niches in the wall with a different color. The indentations can be made a couple of shades darker. When decorating a niche with textured wallpaper or panels, the backlight looks good, the relief will cast interior shadows.

Combining wallpaper with different textures

The combination of different textures looks harmonious in almost any room of the apartment. In small rooms, wallpaper with a shiny surface will increase the space due to its reflective properties. In addition, they look interesting in contrast to the matte canvas.

Room zoning

There are several ways to divide a room into zones, one of which is division by color and texture. The kitchen, combined with the living room, will be divided by wallpaper of the same texture, but in different shades of the same spectrum. Paintable textured wallpaper is a good option.

On the picture

Combination with brick wallpaper

Brickwork is most often associated with the loft style. In a small apartment, it is permissible to replace natural material with imitation wallpaper. Red brick wallpaper is successfully combined with matte gray or white material. White brick looks harmoniously with light walls.

How to combine wallpaper by color?

A calm color combination, despite the saturation, can be called monochromatic. These are shades of the same color, differing in saturation. In the interior, you can designate the desired zones with a more juicy shade or visually divide the space.

The photo shows a monochromatic combination of colors on combined wallpaper.

Complementary combination

This is a combination of contrasting, opposite colors. For example, red and green, purple and yellow, orange and blue. A combination of this kind is suitable for finishing any room. The combination of calm shades can be used in the living room and bedroom, and bright ones are suitable for a nursery.

Similar

At first glance, similar colors are completely different, but their use in the interior looks harmonious, each shade flows smoothly from one to another. As a rule, this is a combination of two or three adjacent shades from the color wheel.

In the photo, a combination of wallpaper with mosaic tiles.

How to make a transition when combining

No transition

The simplest and most common way is no transition. Wallpaper canvases are glued end-to-end. It must be remembered that for the best result you need to prepare and level the surface. This method works well for an accent wall.

Moldings

A beautiful and elegant way of decorating. Visually looks like a painting or a panel. The main tone is chosen in a calm shade, the second part can have both a simple geometric and an unusual shape and is finished with moldings along the edge.

Wallpaper border

The border is placed along the upper edge or along the central part. He will add zest to the interior. Looks harmoniously in the living room, bedroom and children's room.

Features of the design of a small room

In a small apartment, for example in Khrushchev, it is preferable to choose light shades when combining.
The vertical or horizontal direction of the pattern or lines will help adjust the space.
Simple drawings and patterns can also visually enlarge a room. What patterns can visually expand the space you can see.
Mirrored surfaces can significantly contribute to the expansion of boundaries.
A pair of tall mirrors framed in frames will completely change the look of the interior.

Layout errors

Some mistakes when combining can spoil the overall picture.

You should not place large furniture along a wall with large patterns; it is better to choose a plain background wallpaper.
In a small room, the wrong decision would be to finish in a dark color scheme. Light shades and bright decorative elements will look more harmonious. Also, do not use three or more colors.
In a narrow room, wallpaper with patterns is not applied to a large wall, so the room will be even narrower.
In an apartment with low ceilings, horizontal stripes and patterns will further shorten the space.

Combination of liquid wallpaper

Liquid wallpaper deserves special attention. They allow you to create unique paintings, even diagonally, while being easy to apply. By tactile sensations, liquid wallpaper has a soft and warm surface. The material is applied according to the principle of textured plaster. For a perfect result, it is also necessary to prepare the surface.

In the photo, the TV zone is highlighted with liquid wallpaper.

Wallpaper without a pattern for walls is extremely popular, not a single collection of wallpaper is complete without monochromatic canvases, a special energy and charm is hidden in wallpaper without a pattern. They can be used in any interior and style, suitable for office and residential premises. Solid colors are ideal for walls decorated with paintings and decor, for a room with beautiful, bright, designer furniture, for minimalism and futurism.

Selection of wallpaper without a pattern for the walls

For the correct selection of wallpaper without a pattern for the walls, you must familiarize yourself with their classification:

Choosing a wallpaper color without a pattern for the walls

All colors are divided into groups:

warm colors - yellow, red, orange and all their tones. These colors work well in kitchens and children's rooms.
Neutral monochrome colors - white, gray and black work well in office spaces.
Cool colors - blue, purple and all possible shades of them are ideal for hallways and living rooms.
Green color - depending on the shade, it can be both warm and cold, thanks to this uniqueness, it is suitable for any room. Psychologists say that shades of green help a person relax and recharge.

Choosing a color for wallpaper without a pattern for the walls is a key step. It is worth considering the illumination. In rooms located on the east and south side, you can use almost any wallpaper color, and on the west and north side, it is better to prefer warm tones of wallpaper. Paste over all walls with the same color - a classic. You can experiment with different shades of the same color, using a variety of finishing colors in the same room is a rather risky step.

Wallpaper without a pattern for the walls in the bedroom

Single-color wallpaper for the bedroom interior is a convenient solution, it is easy to accentuate the windows by choosing bright or stylistic curtains. In the bedroom, an accent wall above the bed is appropriate, where you can glue wallpaper with a large and unusual pattern, hang a picture, and apply decorative elements.

There is no need to use "heavy" wallpaper (washable, vinyl or fiberglass), traffic and humidity are minimal, so choose "light" and environmentally friendly materials.

Wallpaper without a pattern for the walls in the nursery

The main requirement for wallpaper in a nursery is its environmental safety and breathability. Applying the zoning of the room, we choose simple paper wallpapers in pastel colors for the resting place, and non-woven fabrics in bright colors for the play area. Psychologists advise not to overload the nursery with drawings. Here, wall decoration or the use of photo wallpaper on an accent wall is suitable.

Wallpaper without a pattern for walls in the kitchen

In kitchen wallpaper, the main thing is durability and moisture resistance. Non-woven wallpaper for painting meets these requirements, they will allow you to "refresh" the color outside of repair. The choice of color, with a small area, it is better to stop at warm pastel colors.

Wallpaper without a pattern for the walls in the hallway

Usually, this is a small and dark room with a lot of traffic. Taking these facts as a basis, we choose vinyl wallpaper. Horizontal combination looks good with the use of warm, saturated colors at the top, and light pastels at the bottom.

Wallpaper without a pattern for the walls in the living room

The key factor here is the area of the room. In a large well-lit room, orange, bright green, blue and purple wallpapers are preferable, they make the room expressive, and give vigor to its inhabitants. If there is not enough space, it is necessary to use moderate colors: sand, beige, grayish - this will help to visually increase the space.

Wallpaper without a pattern for walls in a modern interior has a number of advantages, and a correctly selected color scheme can change any room for the better, and create a great mood for its inhabitants. There are no clear frames in the selection of colors, rely on your own taste and fantasize.
