We live in a time of rapid development of technology and design. Therefore, we can quite afford the wallpaper, which will give the walls a look of marble, leather, stone, wood, tile or other expressive coating. An ideal choice for creating a unique interior!

It is extremely difficult to imagine a modern room in which wallpaper would not be used as a finishing material. The history of wallpaper design dates back many years and during this time, in addition to the simplest paper version of this finishing material, many variations of the use of various raw materials to create original, textured, textile, washable and other models have appeared. When a modern homeowner gets into the store of finishing materials, it’s time to get confused by the vastness of the assortment - paper, vinyl, non-woven, textile, from cork and papyrus, burlap and with metallized elements, liquid and glass. Let's take a look together - for which rooms to choose one or another type of wallpaper, and what designers advise in the upcoming season.

Types of wallpaper depending on the material of manufacture

Paper

This type of wallpaper appeared long ago and does not lose its popularity, first of all, because of cheapness. You can easily re-wallpaper wallpapers in rooms at least every year if you use paper-based products. Unfortunately, at the low cost of the material, the benefits of this type of wallpaper end. Paper products cannot be washed, they can be torn easily enough during repair, as well as being already on the walls. Of course, such wallpapers are suitable only for rooms with low humidity and pollution levels - bedrooms, offices and living rooms.

Single-layer paper wallpapers are called simplex, and double-layer wallpapers are called duplex. Duplex wallpapers are slightly more durable products - in the production process two layers of paper, one of which with the decor, are glued together. Duplex wallpapers are more popular - they can hide defects in the surface of the walls, are simple sticker and subsequent removal.

Vinyl

Vinyl wallpapers are much stronger, more durable than paper, in addition, they can withstand moisture, which means they are suitable for decoration kitchen facilities, hallways and even bathrooms. Vinyl products can be created on a paper or non-woven basis with a PVC coating. This type of wallpaper costs significantly more than paper, but the cost is depreciated due to a sufficiently long service life.

In turn, hot stamping vinyl wallpapers can be divided into different kinds  - heavy ones are great for masking wall irregularities, compact vinyl (foamed wallpaper) can imitate various surfaces and be embossed, silk-screened wallpapers have an original texture, but need preliminary preparation of glued planes.

Vinyl wallpaper can be found in the decoration of the kitchen and even the bathroom, because this material does not fade under the influence of sunlight and can withstand cleaning, wet cleaning. Such wallpapers can be glued in the hallways, where the level of surface contamination is quite high.

The production of modern vinyl wallpapers allows you to create the smallest micropores on the surface of the product, which allows the upper layer of material to “breathe”.

Non-woven

This type of wallpaper can consist entirely of non-woven fabric, or a combination of non-woven fabric and PVC film. Flizelin is a non-woven material based on cellulose fibers, this raw material is much stronger and more durable than paper.

Non-woven wallpaper is not only durable, but also resistant to abrasion, found both with a printed pattern, and can be used for painting. But for gluing this type of wallpaper it is necessary to use special glue. Although the sticker process itself is very convenient - the adhesive is applied to the walls, and the canvas itself remains dry. Which significantly reduces the risk of tearing the base and erasing the top layer of the decor.

Liquid

This original type of finish, which is a powder that must be diluted independently in water, can become a highlight of the interior. Such a powder consists of cellulose and cotton fibers, glue, and dyes. One of the most important characteristics and at the same time an important advantage is a seamless surface. The process of “pasting” is more like painting, because liquid wallpaper is applied with a roller.

Textile

This type of wallpaper is a combination of a paper or non-woven backing with a textile canvas. As the top layer can be used flax, cotton, viscose and even velvet. In addition to the fact that this type of wallpaper is environmentally friendly and easily breathes, the material has much higher noise insulation properties than ordinary paper wallpapers.

But textile wallpaper has its drawbacks, among which, in addition to high cost, there are low dirt-repellent properties. Textile wallpapers are not wet cleaned, they can only be vacuumed and wiped with a dry cloth. Textile wallpapers look especially advantageous in bedrooms, where you can give free rein to imagination and use, for example, velor wallpapers with velvety decor on a paper basis.

Metallized

Such wallpapers are distinguished by the presence of gilding or silvering in the decor. These are dense products that can hide surface imperfections that do not fade in the sun and at the same time bring luxury and elegance to any interior. These wallpapers look great in bedrooms and living rooms, large offices or home libraries.

Wallpaper with gilded or silver print elements of the decorative surface is not cheap, so they are most often used to design one of the walls of the room, to create a luxurious and yet sophisticated accent.

Color palette and variety of prints

An extensive assortment of wallpapers of various colors and textures makes many homeowners who plan to repair be confused in hardware stores. But there are a number of color combinations, prints, ornaments and drawings that are at the peak of popularity right now.

Wallpaper with photo printing

The so-called photowall-paper has been known to our compatriots since the “dashing nineties”, when it was fashionable to use this type of decoration to design an accent wall - landscapes with waterfalls and birches were present in every second Russian apartment. Nowadays, the quality of the material has changed, and the storyline of the drawings has undergone changes.

Photo printing can be applied on paper, non-woven and even textile basis. The most popular drawings these days are an imitation of the appearance of bookshelves and shelving.

Plant drawing - always popular

Since ancient times, people liked to decorate their homes with wallpaper with floral patterns - flowers and twigs, leaves and fantasy compositions not only brought color diversity to the design of the room, but also brought the atmosphere of the room closer to nature.

It's no secret that wallpaper with a large floral pattern is suitable only for spacious rooms. And small bouquets or a small print can visually increase a small space.

Neutral colors - calm atmosphere of the room

Living rooms and bedrooms, cabinets and dining rooms are papered in gray tones - the most popular color of our time. Many designers like to repeat that "gray is the new white for interior decoration." This can be either wallpaper with a geometric or floral print, or products with fancy patterns.

Depending on the pattern used, you can create original optical illusions. Using the strip, we visually push the space in different directions.

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.

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.

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.

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.
