Gray wallpaper in the interior

Choosing a wallpaper is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. Huge variety is more often a hindrance than an assistant. The theme of wallpaper design is no less extensive, but having figured out some of the nuances, it will be easy to choose the appropriate option.

Types, brief description

In the design and sticker of the wallpaper, not only a good choice of pattern and color is important, but also the material of which the coating is made.

Sunny lounge

Paper wallpapers are the cheapest, short-lived, they are afraid of moisture, burn out in the sun, are difficult to glue due to the fact that they are soaked and shrink.
Non-woven ones have a higher density. In fact, this is the same paper, but with fabric fibers.They look more impressive, do not shrink after drying, do not swell, some models can be painted.

Cork Wallpaper
Vinyl wallpapers have a paper base and a vinyl coating with different thicknesses and densities, which makes it moisture resistant and gives good performance. Vinyl coatings come in several forms: bulk (foamed); washable (kitchen); flat (silkscreen).
Textile wallpapers are deluxe and have exquisite wall decoration. The front surface is fabric. The coating requires careful care.

Living room in gray tones
Fiberglass wallpaper is made with the addition of minerals. They are very resistant and have a beautiful embossed surface. Most often are monophonic.
Linkrust - paper-based wallpaper with a volumetric pattern, which is created by applying mastic. Outwardly, they look as if the walls were covered with plaster moldings.

Liquid wallpaper

Attention! Liquid wallpaper, although called wallpaper, is a completely original coating. This is a dry fluffy mass, which is diluted with water before application, is applied to the wall as a putty.

Textured

Textured wallpapers are distinguished by a rough or embossed coating, the very concept of “texture” helps to characterize the surface. The relief can be: large (the volume is visible from afar), medium (the volume is noticeable upon close examination), small (visually merges, but is clearly visible to the touch).

Examples of textured wallpaper on the wall

The undoubted advantage of textured coatings is that they hide the unevenness of the walls, look expensive, have no design restrictions. Textured wallpaper can be made from any material, from paper to fiberglass.

The combination of gray and green on the wall

Attention! The concepts of texture and texture are very similar. The difference is that the texture can be determined by touch and visually. The lower limit of the texture is a smooth surface, the upper one is a visible relief. The texture can only be determined by touch.Most often, the word “texture” characterizes products that mimic the surface of wood, fabric, stone.

Smooth

Covering with a smooth surface in modern interiors can be found less and less. Although in quality and brightness, they may not be inferior to their textured counterparts. The choice of smooth wallpaper, first of all, a matter of taste.

With texture

Not every interior can withstand natural materials: bare brick of a spacious loft, an unprocessed tree of a country house, or heavy stone like an open plan. But for residents of high-end apartments, designers can offer a way out - wallpapers simulating natural material.

Imitation of brick on the wallpaper

Modern imitation is quite realistic with finely crafted details. In any case, it is worth considering that creating a real atmosphere with the help of unreal objects is very difficult. The interior as a result will turn out to be a bit ironic, but perhaps this is exactly what needs to be achieved.

Wooden elements of decor in the living room

Wallpaper for walls imitating natural materials will help to create the necessary impression, but they need additions, furniture, and accessories that will make them even more realistic.

Solid

Plain wallpaper is an alternative to coloring. Their advantage over painting is that the surface under gluing does not need to be prepared so scrupulously. Paint will emphasize each tubercle and fossa, the walls should be perfectly plastered and sanded. While the wallpaper allows you to hide some irregularities.

Contemporary bedroom design

Unlike painted surfaces, they can be textured. Color can be slightly adjusted by coloring. In the interior, they are successfully combined with other finishing materials or wallpaper with a pattern.

With stripes

The stripes on the walls are a fashion trend that certainly deserves attention. The alternation of contrasting colors always attracts attention.

Black and white wide stripes

In bright colors, the stripes will bring dynamics, make the atmosphere more lively. Wide will give the spirit of modernity. A vertical line visually raises the ceilings, while horizontal lines, on the contrary, make the walls wider. Narrow stripes look better in small rooms, while large ones are quite spacious.

A wide vertical strip will be appropriate in a classic interior, a narrow one will complement pop art or retro very elegantly, and any minimalist interior will be decorated with a striped coating in black and white or gray.

The subject of plot wallpapers can be very diverse.Most often they are created for children's rooms. In other rooms, plot wallpapers are less in demand.

Fresco is one of the wall painting techniques when drawing is made on raw plaster. After drying, the lime, which was previously added to the composition, forms a transparent film that protects the mural from the influence of time. Today, more and more often, any wall painting is called a fresco, regardless of the technique of its manufacture.

  • Highlighting a section with texture or color;

Accent wall

This design technique has already become a classic. As the name implies, it is designed to attract attention, they should be alone in the room, in very rare cases a complementary pair is allowed. When making accents, there is a color contrast, but you can also play on the texture or highlight the wall with photo wallpaper. In any case, the color should have been brighter and more saturated than on the other walls.

Accent wall in the nursery

If we are talking about plain wallpaper, the color of the accent wall should be leading. In bedrooms, it is customary to accent a wall at the head of the bed. In the kitchen - at the dining area, and in the hall emit a free surface or area of ​​the TV. In the nurseries, a play area is distinguished by an accent wall, in the bathroom - a wall by the bath, and in the corridor - the surface opposite the entrance.

Skull Wallpaper

For the bedroom

The bedroom should be calm and cozy, so preference should be given to neutral wallpaper. The bed area can be successfully distinguished by both, which can go to the ceiling. From the remnants of these battles on the opposite wall, you can make panels or use them to paste a niche.

Rich dark green wallpaper in the bedroom

For kitchen

In the kitchen, wallpaper should be combined with the decoration that is used on the work wall. Symmetrical zoning looks very successful when the kitchen walls are papered with wide stripes and complemented with a bright print on the most visible open wall.

Wallpaper in the form of a cabbage leaf

The design of the walls of the kitchen should not be too variegated, sometimes it is better to give preference to plain smooth surfaces. The print should correspond to the kitchen theme, and the color of the pattern or its individual elements must necessarily find a visual response on the facade of the furniture. It is undesirable to use photo wallpaper in kitchens with a bright apron.
