Wallpaper with a small alternating pattern will make the room more dynamic. And against the background of wallpaper with large ornaments, light furniture will lose its accent, so you can experiment with highlighting the main areas in the room.

Due to practicality and convenience, we most often prefer dark-colored furniture. Since even in the interior of a large living room such furniture will look quite catchy, wallpaper for walls should make the design easier and simpler.

That is why bright and dark wallpapers, as well as coatings with large patterned elements, can be present only on one wall and combined with light materials.

Availability bright elements of furniture in the interior  The hall allows you to implement two options for wall decoration. If you want to create a relaxing design, dwell on the wallpaper of calm shades that muffle excessive brightness.

If you have chosen such furniture to create an invigorating and festive atmosphere in the room - support this mood through appropriate color accents on some sections of the walls.

Tip:  it is better if bright shades are repeated not as background, but in the form of patterns, drawings and ornaments. In modern halls and living rooms, photomurals are used to maintain brightness.

In the home interior, there may be furniture in two colors. As a rule, these are light and dark color combinations. In this case, light wallpapers with light patterned effects are suitable for wall decoration.

In modern styles, a third shade can be added to the design: depending on your furniture, it will be a dark or bright color.

When decorating the living room, it is important to remember that the abundance of flowers is not a good approach to decorating.

Even if such a room looks modern and positive, over time the shades will begin to crush and will create unnecessary chaos in the design. Therefore, furniture, including more than two colors, should be complemented only by light and unobtrusive style wallpaper for the walls.

Do not forget that the furniture repeats the trends of different styles. Accordingly, the wallpaper should emphasize the features of a given direction.

Let's see what styles will be popular in 2017, and how wallpapers will help in maintaining the integrity of such designs.

Actual directions in design

There are several solutions that make the interior of the hall or living room more refined and comfortable. Some areas (art deco, classic, loft) are used to emphasize luxury, others (country, Provence, minimalism) - to maintain simplicity and homeliness.

Trendy wallpaper 2017 in the hall should be chosen after you have decided on the direction, since some patterns and colors can not be called universal.

The most popular directions in design and their features:

The color scheme of a residential interior can be perceived contradictory if you took into account only stylistic design features.

Many other factors influence the choice of color: lighting, room area, psychological significance of some color accents. Let's look at this issue in more detail.

To begin with, each of your loved ones should be comfortable in the updated living room. But if you are used to calm and silence, you will not appreciate the bright background of this room. In the same way, those who are accustomed to an active lifestyle, in a dim room will feel "out of place."

To prevent such errors, study the properties of some popular and fashionable colors today:

Tip:  When creating combinations of several colors, use at least one light tone. The combination of blue and white, brown and blue, black and yellow looks impressive in the interior of the living room.

It is also worth remembering that wallpapers used as backgrounds on all walls can transform your room.

When using dark shades, make sure that the interior is adequately lit: in a dark and dull room you cannot feel comfortable.

Do not forget that such the dark palette visually reduces free space : For this reason, wallpapers of black, brown, blue and other dark colors are used in the most spacious living rooms.

Light wallpapers can be used to decorate rooms of any size.. But lighting in such a design can also be of no small importance: in an interior that is too light, especially if the wallpaper has a glossy surface, bright light will be superfluous. Therefore, experts recommend adding dark and cold tones to this design.

We all follow fashion. At least in order to declare that it is not interesting to us. The world of interiors also has its own trends, new products and current models. Today we’ll try to make a digest of fashionable wallpapers in 2016.

Designers of leading world brands of wallpaper manufacturers, like fashion designers, create new collections of wall coverings every year. But the interior fashion is not updated so quickly - you won’t be able to re-glue the wallpaper every year - it is fraught with the fact that you will constantly live in a state of repair. Let's try to figure out what “fashion wallpaper” means.

Is there a fashion for wallpaper?

Those who want to be on the crest of a fashion wave may have to upset: the concept of “fashionable novelties” was invented by marketers to increase sales. People make their choice on the basis of “like-dislike”, and convince the buyer that fashionable photo murals with a panorama of Niagara Falls are very suitable for classic style  in the interior, it is possible only if the consumer has no taste.

The choice of the type of wall covering or the type and pattern, if it comes to wallpaper, depends primarily on the interior style used and the concept that is formed during the design of the room. Wall decoration is a naturally occurring continuation of the entire design, and not something separate and independent.

Tip. When choosing a wallpaper, be guided by common sense and your own taste. Most often, wall coverings with an active pattern or “vyrviglaznogo” color after a short time begin to tire their owners. It is more practical to have walls of background, neutral shades, and to place bright accents with what can be easily replaced if you get tired. For example, paintings, decorative panels or posters.

From the history of wallpaper

Rather, we can talk about the latest in the field of technology for the manufacture of finishing materials. At the dawn of its history, the wallpaper was fabric, and the walls were chained with them, hence the name came from. Tapestries and trellises were used as wall decor. Workshops manufacturing trellis were called wallpaper. In the Baroque and Rococo era, leather wallpapers with skillful decoration and embossing appeared and became popular. With the development of the paper industry, paper wallpapers familiar to us appeared. Although in China and Japan - hand-painted paper wallpapers are a traditional material for wall decoration.

Today, industry allows the use of a variety of materials and technologies for the production of decorative wall coverings: vinyl, non-woven (non-woven), and fiberglass appeared. They differ in the method of decoration:

• embossed;
• sprayed with a pile or fiber;
• with a metallized coating;
• using fluorescent (visible in the dark) paints;
• with LEDs incorporated into the wallpaper structure, which are switched on from the remote control.

But despite technological innovations, in modern interiors there is a place for paper wallpaper, and textile, and leather. Moreover, there are collections of premium-class wallpapers, in the decor of which designers imitate old patterns of drawings and the type of material, familiar to us from childhood on the decoration of our parents' apartments. That same yellowish-grayish rough paper and motifs typical of Soviet apartments.

There are real extremes - connoisseurs of vintage style who pick up or buy old wallpaper from dismantling, by complex and time-consuming manipulations clean them from the accumulations of time and use them as decoration material in modern interiors.

Fashionable Wallpaper Drawings

From the above it follows that it is difficult to determine fashionable patterns or patterns for wallpaper this season. Companies engaged in the production of high-end wallpapers for more than a dozen years, carefully preserve their traditions and use designs developed over many years in their products, very carefully introducing new items in drawings and colors. Manufacturers of wallpaper in a lower class - for the general public, on the contrary, strive to impress the consumer with colorful prints.

Designers who develop wallpaper designs are inspired in their work by what surrounds them, thus responding to fashion trends. What inspires artists?

• Natural motives  - Flowers have always been and will be popular as a pattern of fabric or wallpaper designs. Traditional floral ornamental compositions "Damascus" are appropriate in the interiors of classicism, baroque. Naturalistic images of flowers will fit perfectly into, flowers based on Japanese or Chinese painting - for.

• Paisley  - East or Indian cucumber. Traditional motif for indian, persian or turkish patterns. It looks like a leaf roofing felts with a bent tip, roofing felts with a tail. The space bounded by the “drop” is also filled with patterns. This pattern is suitable for Indian or colonial interiors, as well as for vintage style. Hippie fans will also like it.

Indian Cucumber Pattern

• Argyle - a pattern consisting of rhombuses of two or three colors. Over the colored rhombuses, a grid of rhombuses is superimposed. This is a traditional English pattern, so it looks organically in Victorian interiors or in rooms in the English spirit.

Tip: When choosing a wallpaper with an ornament, consider the size of the room. A very large picture in a small room will be lost - it will be difficult to consider. And the abundance of lines of poorly readable drawing will make a small room even smaller, “cluttering” it.

Traditionally, the wallpaper pattern has a rapport pattern - repeating at a certain interval, pattern. But today there are wallpapers that make up a composite drawing on the entire wall. Wide-format printing technologies allow you to transfer any photo image to the wallpaper material. Such wallpaper options will well decorate modern styles: minimalism, contemporary.

Attention! If you are planning to use the murals in the interior, carefully approach the choice of image. The bright colors of a color photograph or a disproportionate scale may look good in a small format, but will unpleasantly hit you when you are the size of a wall.

How to use wallpaper in the interior

Wallpaper pattern should match the style of the interior and its scale. If you decide to choose a wallpaper with a large pattern, perhaps you should not paste over the entire room with them. Choose a view wall or wall, and cover the rest with wallpaper with a calmer pattern. In the collections of manufacturers there are options that are ideally suited to each other: drawings-partners.

In addition to the option to decorate with a wallpaper with an active pattern one, the most important room for the appearance, there are also ways to use wallpaper. You can combine two types of patterns by combining them horizontally. The junction is usually made out with a curb. Horizontal division of the wall can be done at different heights - the decorative effect will depend on this.

Wallpaper with partner pictures can be alternated vertically: a strip of one kind, then a strip of another. In this case, a more active pattern can occupy one strip, and a quiet one - two or three, depending on the size of the wall.

Highlighting accent walls using wallpaper with drawings

Do not forget that the wallpaper should be combined with textiles - curtains, upholstery of sofas and armchairs, decorative pillows. Wallpaper manufacturers offer fabrics suitable for collections. And if not, then try to choose a fabric that repeats the motif of the pattern or has a harmonious color scheme.

And what besides wallpaper?

Today, the selection of wallpapers of all types, types and colors is huge. You can spend more than one day leafing through catalogs and shopping. However, not everyone chooses wallpaper as a finish. Which alternatives can be chosen:

• decorative painting - paint the walls, and then using stencils or other decorating techniques, apply a picture or pattern to the surface;
• decorative and textured plasters - the number of options for creating a decorative coating of walls using decorative plasters can exceed the range of wallpapers;

Decorative plaster

Wallpaper can act as a neutral background, and can be the main accent of the interior. Now designers are betting on volumetricity, interesting textures and original prints. About which wallpapers are now in fashion and will be discussed later.

What wallpaper is now in fashion: Natural colors and noble shades

If we talk about the color palette, then the fashionable wallpapers of this year are represented mainly by cool cold colors: gray, brown, olive, beige, turquoise, silver, black. Complex “rich” shades, such as, for example, bordeaux, eggplant, fuchsia, sangria, have also become relevant.

Retro in a new interpretation

Fashion is cyclical and it is not surprising that among the current wallpapers of this year there are many vintage options. Basically, designers “resurrected” modern-style interiors with empire-style wallpapers with a light background and classic carved prints. They are ideal for the living room and bedroom, emphasizing the sophisticated taste of their master.

Classics are classics, but also without modernization of wallpapers in retro style. Dark shades with contrasting classic patterns and hi-tech elements will be especially popular this year.

Natural motives

Naturalness is another feature of this year's fashionable wallpaper, which has spread not only to the quality of the materials used, but also to current prints. The trend is natural textures that imitate wood, water surface, animal colors. Especially popular with designers are floral motifs. Moreover, wallpaper has become relevant as a small flower a la, and options with large bulk plants and flowers.

Original texture

This trend can hardly be called fresh. Wallpaper with original prints came into fashion with the advent of innovative photo printing and are not going to give up their leading position. Among the trends of this year are “deceptive” wallpapers, which not only look but even touch to touch their prints. For example, wallpaper under the skin may be glossy, and wallpaper resembling a concrete wall may be rough. But the main hit of 2015 is cartographic wallpaper. Most often, they are chosen to decorate one of the walls in the office or children's room. Popular are wallpapers with quotes from books and magazines. And they can be made to order, using for printing, for example, pages from your favorite novel.

Wall mural is back in fashion

This, of course, is not exactly the murals that were megapopular in the 80–90s. The modern version of photo printing is better and more realistic. 3D wallpapers have also become very fashionable, able to create any optical illusion in the room.

This year, designers use photo wallpaper mainly for the design of kitchens and living rooms. For example, photo printing with the landscape of a night city looks very stylish in the decor of a large hall.

Geometric prints

Wallpaper with geometric patterns never comes out of fashion, but this year color contrast will be characteristic of them. Among the trends are a narrow strip, large circles and rhombs. Dark shades are used more often as a background, on which a bright geometric print stands out. Such wallpapers look especially stylish when decorating small rooms, for example, an entrance hall or a corridor.
