Features of the use of photo wallpaper in different rooms

Wall mural - a spectacular accent for decoration. When choosing products, it is necessary to consider the coating on other walls in the room.

Tip: In order for the space not to be overloaded, the photo wallpaper should be made neutral, and the rest of the details in the room should be used in the given direction of design: furniture, textiles, all accessories and the photo wallpaper itself should have the same style.

Before making the murals themselves, the wall under them must first be well aligned. Otherwise, all the pits and bulges in the figure will attract attention, and photo wallpaper, consisting of individual elements, will not be easy to dock.

When choosing a wallpaper:

• The dimensions of the coating depend on the amount of furniture in the room:

1. if the room is spacious with a minimum of objects, you can use large-format photo murals that occupy the entire wall;
2. if there are a lot of pieces of furniture, narrow design options are taken.

• In a sunny room, do not glue wallpaper in front of the windowthat may interfere with the correct perception of the image on them.
• Using pictures, you can visually adjust the space in the room:

1. vertical drawing visually increase the height of the ceiling;
2. horizontal - will reduce.

• Wall murals depicting a street or a receding landscape help to give a larger volume to the room.

Choosing decor for the interior of various rooms, it is necessary to determine the relevance of the image in it:

• Dynamic wallpapers, depicting active actions, such as high-speed cars, crowded streets or racing horses, are hardly suitable for a bedroom, but will look great in the living room.
• In a room for children on the wall, wallpapers with cartoon or fairy-tale characters will look good.

Tip: In order not to harm the child, aggressive plots and rich, vibrant colors should be avoided.

• When designing a common interior in the kitchen, it is better to use the murals pasted on the wall, near which there is a dining table with chairs. For a small kitchen room, a wall with a picture of a cafe standing on the street or a view from the balcony (see Wall mural with a view from the balcony), not only sets the style of the room, but also visually expands it.

Wall murals can also decorate interior items, using them for other purposes. You can put a picture suitable for decoration in a frame and hang it on the wall. It can be one large or broken into several parts, and the drawing is completed directly on the wall.
