Photo wallpaper in the bedroom
Photo wallpaper in the bedroom is most often used to decorate a room.
But not everyone knows that they can carry other functions, for example:
- To create a bright accent. Indeed, often we design a bedroom in calm and fairly light shades (see How to choose the color of wallpaper for the bedroom) so that nothing prevents us from resting. But sometimes, days go by and we understand that our bedroom is boring and already tired. Here in such cases, photo wallpaper with a more colorful and saturated image will help.
- To divide the room into zones. With the help of murals, you can select a sleep zone by hanging them above the bed or highlight a reading and needlework zone by placing murals near an armchair with a coffee table. Often, due to lack of space in the apartment, it is necessary to place a desk in the bedroom, here in this case the photo wallpaper can zone the room, separating the working area.
- To distract attention. An interesting image on photowall-paper can distract attention from old furniture or if any defects remain after repair. Also murals can decorate the flaws of the room, for example: ledges or niches.
- To create a style in the room. By choosing a stylistically directed image, we can create our own special style of bedroom interior. If the room is already decorated in any style, then the image of the photo wallpaper can emphasize it.
- For visual illusion. For example: by pasting on a free wall near a bed or an armchair, murals with a realistic image of a fireplace or book racks.
- To change the space of a room. Wall murals can help visually enlarge a small room or make a large room smaller and more comfortable.
In any case, you can choose what function the wallpaper will perform in your bedroom.
Selection rules
In order for photowall-paper to harmoniously fit into the interior of the bedroom, choosing them you need to rely on some rules. Professional designers also use them, creating unique interior solutions in various rooms.
Here are a few of them:
- Take into account the volume of the room, because images that visually reduce the room should not be hung in a small bedroom.
- Consider room lighting, and it is necessary to take into account both daylight and evening. Images in dark or very bright colors will make the room darker.
- Consider the stylistic design of the roombecause not every photo wallpaper fits all interior styles.
- Consider what colors and shades are present in the room, in order for the photo wallpaper to look harmonious, it is necessary that the colors of the image repeat the design and bedroom decoration.
- Take into account the wishes of your soulmate, since she or he will also have to see the image of the photo wallpaper daily, and it should not cause discomfort.
Advice! Do not forget to consider the functionality of the photo wallpaper in your bedroom, it depends on what size canvas you need.
Feng Shui Tips
The Chinese philosophical doctrine of Feng Shui is very sensitive to the decoration of the house and mainly in the bedroom, since the bedroom is the center of family relationships. According to Feng Shui, the colors of the bedroom should be calm, but for young couples, red colors are preferable - the colors of love passion.
Images are recommended to be chosen carefully, well, if these are images of couples in love, mountain landscapes or beautiful blooming flowers and plants.
There are several rules for teaching Feng Shui, the choice of images:
- The picture should be like and give a feeling of harmony and comfort.
- Do not hang images of dead people in the bedroom.
- The image in the bedroom should not be aggressive or dynamic.
- Do not select images with unknown characters or inscriptions.
The only thing that does not accept the teachings of Feng Shui in the bedroom are images with water plots, since according to Chinese teachings, water can take away family happiness and good fortune.
Image selection
Not only can you choose any image for the bedroom, of course, relying on the style of the room, you can choose any color. After all, modern photo wallpapers and their images are very diverse.
For example, images are divided into types, they can be:
- Single - this is when the basis of the image is a lone object. For example: one tree in the foreground.
- Group - this is when several objects are the basis of the image. For example: several animals grazing in a meadow.
- Remote - this is when the image is panoramic, and you look at it as if from a distance. For example: a mountain village behind a green field.
- Enlarged - this is when the image is very approximately so that you can see small details. For example: an enlarged rose (see Roses photo wallpaper: how to choose a picture correctly).
- The bottom view is when the image is shot or drawn as if you are looking at it from the bottom up. For example: a view of the tops of tall buildings standing below on the street.
- Top view - this is when you look at the image from a bird's eye view. For example: a village in the lowlands of the mountains.
This knowledge will help you choose an image that visually helps change the space of the room.
Image Themes
All images of photo wallpaper can be collected in several peculiar groups, and of course there are separate images, for example, such as abstraction or graffiti, which modern young people love so much.
Consider the most popular classic images:
- Nature - it includes everything that relates to nature, it is: unusual plants and beautiful flowers; dense forests and colorful gardens; majestic mountains and raging waterfalls; wild animals and mysterious insects.
- Sea (see Sea mural: which room to use) - this is not only a variety of sea landscapes, but also the underwater world with its inhabitants.
- Architecture - this is any image associated with building structures, these are: historical monuments and ancient ruins; ancient castles and magnificent palaces; magnificent bridges and wonders of the world.
- Cities are not only modern megalopolises and ancient cities, they are streets of old cities and shops glowing with signs.
- People - these can be both famous personalities and strangers, just beautiful people.
- Cosmos (see Space photowall-paper: how to apply in an interior) Are mysterious stars and unexplored distant planets.
To add all the thematic diversity makes no sense. But if suddenly, you could not find a suitable image, then this is not a reason for frustration.Now there are a lot of different printing shops in which you will be printed with an image according to your order, and the price of the order will not ruin you at all.
3D photo wallpaper
About 3D Photo Wallpaper It is worth talking separately, as this is a fairly new modern type of photo wallpaper, which has its own differences. This view is distinguished by its unusual realistic image, creating a sense of volumetric pattern.
There are three main types of photo wallpaper with a three-dimensional image, these are:
- Subject images. They are produced in certain small sizes and are used as a design technique for decorating.
- Background images. They come in the form of long rolls, like wallpaper, and are used to zonate a room or create a general background in it.
- Panoramic images. They are available in rather large sizes for pasting the entire wall completely and can be used for various functions.
But manufacturers do not stand still and come up with new types of photo wallpaper, for example, such as:
- Fluorescent photo wallpaper. Their distinguishing feature is a gentle glow in the dark. Such murals can easily replace nightlights in the bedroom.
- LED photo wallpaper. This is a modern system of electronic LEDs, which, using control, changes the color of the image and the picture itself.
Advice! To avoid fakes, purchase 3D murals from special stores and require product quality certificates.
Choice of photowalls
Wall murals are not only different in their images, their canvases also differ and are created from different materials. Photowaves consist of two layers, this of course, the base and the upper layer, which can serve as protection for the canvas.
The main layer is made of:
- Papers. This is the most common material for photo wallpaper, so it is also the cheapest. Paper murals have a large assortment of images, and besides, they are environmentally friendly and pass air through themselves well. But this type of canvas is not durable, as it is easily torn and afraid of moisture.
- Tissues. This is the most expensive type of photo wallpaper because of its stunning appearance, as it looks very rich and aesthetically pleasing. Of course, such canvases are environmentally friendly and with good air permeability, but they, like the fabric, attract dust, and they cannot be washed because of the fear of water.
- Vinyl. This is a very strong and durable type of photowalls and their strength depends on the method of creating vinyl, the thicker the canvas, the stronger it is. Such cloths are not afraid of damage and wash themselves calmly, even with the use of detergents. The main disadvantage of such photowall-paper is their air permeability.
- Flizelina (see. Non-woven photo wallpaper: how to choose and stick) This is a universal material that can be used in any room. Such photo cloths are not only environmentally friendly and allow air to pass through, but they are also very strong and easy to clean. The disadvantages include their small range of images and a rather high cost.
Some weaker types of photowaves can be enhanced with special impregnating compounds or a protective overlay. In this case, these types of paintings can be used in rooms with little humidity.
The top layer is divided into:
- Matt Such a layer will not be able to protect the base if it is not saturated with special composition. It affects the colors of the image, making them muffled and calmer.
- Laminated. This layer is protective, as it is a special composition, which after application becomes a transparent shiny film.
- Textural. This is an unusual surface of the canvas, which can resemble various materials both in appearance and by touch.
Advice! You can find out more about the quality of the photowalls from sales consultants.
Photo Canvas Textures
We will consider only some types of textures that you can find on photo wallpaper. It makes no sense to list them all, since there are a lot of them and manufacturers will come up with new types.
The most popular are:
- Stroke. This is a smooth, shiny surface that is used for space scenes.
- Frost. This is a fleecy surface that is used to depict winter subjects.
- Sand. This is a rough surface that is used for images of animals.
- The cloth. It can be an imitation of silk, velvet or linen, which is used for flower designs.
- Brick and stone. This can be both images of the wall, and its parts with an additional pattern.
- Fresco. This is a cracked surface that is used for antique plots.
- Canvas. This surface is well suited for images of picturesque paintings.
Everyone is free to choose the texture of the photowalls to his taste.
Color values
Everyone has long known that colors affect the emotional state of a person.
Let's look at the meanings of some popular colors, for example:
- White. This is the most common and universal color, indicating purity and innocence. It is combined with all colors and will help to visually increase the space of the room.
- The black. No less popular color, which carries severity and darkness. It combines with almost all colors, creating a contrast.
- Yellow. This is a cheerful color that will bring optimism and vitality to your life. It goes well with many colors, but its colors are better for the bedroom.
- Red. This is an aggressive color - the color of passion, which can not always be love. Light shades of this color can visually increase the parameters of the room.
- Blue. It is a cold color that brings peace and relaxation. It must be remembered that its dark shades visually reduce the volume of the room.
- Green. This is the most suitable color for the bedroom, it soothes and relaxes. Green is the color of nature, and where, if not in nature, we find harmony.
- Violet. This is the most mysterious color that can set up philosophical reasoning. But its dark shades can create a feeling of discomfort.
When choosing photo wallpaper and bedroom design, you need to know the meanings of the colors so that the bedroom has harmony and a relaxing atmosphere.
