How to choose the color of the image
Let's look at what exactly needs to be taken into account when choosing photo wallpaper with a fireplace on the wall:
- Firstly, this, of course, is the functionality of the room itself, since it depends on what quality of the photo cloths you will need and what color of the image is suitable.
- Secondly, it is the color scheme of the whole room, its interior and design. This will affect the choice of colors for the image of the fireplace, as colors and shades should be combined with each other.
- Thirdly, it is the lighting in the room day and evening, since the dark color of the image will make the poorly lit room even darker.
- Fourth, this is the area and volume of the room, since different images can affect its parameters, making it visually both larger and smaller.
- Fifth, this is the stylistic orientation of the room, if any. If not, then think what exactly you want to get in the end.
- And most importantly, if you choose the image of the fireplace in the living room or in the kitchen, then you should ask your relatives what they want to see.
Choosing a photo cloth
Photowalls also need to be chosen thoroughly, since various qualities of paintings are important for different rooms, for example:
- For the living room, choose strong paintings that will last a long time.
- For the bedroom, it is important that the canvas is well breathable.
- For the kitchen, the main thing is that the canvases can be washed and cleaned.
- For the children's room, you must choose natural paintings.
Qualitative differences of photowaves
In rooms with different functionality, various quality features of photowaves are required. Not many people know that the canvas consists of two layers that differ in their features.
So, the main layer happens:
- Woven - a composition that includes woven fibers that make the photo canvas look like canvas. Since such a canvas has a very aesthetic appearance, its price is quite high. They are made of environmentally friendly materials and easily pass air.
- But they also have disadvantages, this is a fear of humidity, which complicates cleaning and strong dust attraction. These disadvantages are eliminated if the top layer is with a protective function and special impregnation, which will allow you to wash photo wallpaper and repel dust.
- On paper - this is, on the contrary, the cheapest type of canvas, since its qualities are weaker than other types. They are afraid of moisture and easily deteriorate, tear and fade. But this can be a plus for those who like frequent changes.
- But they also have a lot of positive qualities, this is a very large assortment of images, this is the naturalness of the materials from which the canvases are made, and good air flow.
- Vinyl is a cloth made of polyvinyl chloride, which, depending on the manufacturing method, not everyone can be environmentally friendly. Also a big minus of this type of cloths is their air permeability.
- But this type of photoworks is very strong and durable, they can easily be washed without damaging the surface, they also withstand mechanical stress and prolonged friction without spoiling.
- Non-woven fabrics are eco-friendly fabrics that consist of continuous positive qualities. They are strong, and moisture resistant, and breathable, and durable. Only their small assortment can be a minus, and the high price is worth this quality.
The top layer of the photo cloth can be protective, due to special impregnation or special coating. But it affects the saturation and brightness of the colors in the image.
It happens:
- Matte is a flat surface that makes the coloring of the image matte and calm.
- Laminated is a flat surface that gives the image a gloss and shine.
- Textured is not always a flat surface that mimics various materials.
Texture variety of photo wallpaper
Texture wall murals are canvases whose top layer can imitate various natural or artificially created materials and elements such as, for example:
- A rock.
- Brick.
- Bark of trees.
- The skin of snakes.
- Frost.
- Sand.
- Canvas.
- Velvet.
- Silk.
There are a lot of different textures and we will not list all of them.
Differences in Image Types
Images on murals are also classified and divided into types and types, consider them in more detail:
- Realistic images are a special and rather new type of photo wallpaper, photo wallpaper with a three-dimensional image, creating a real illusion of the volume of the image.
- Subject images are images with a stylistically directed theme, for example: New Year's or hunting fireplaces.
- Background images are images without a specific picture, for example: with abstraction. This view is definitely not suitable for us.
- Panoramic images are images with which you can visually expand the space. For example: a fireplace between two panoramic windows.
The right choice of image on the photo wallpaper will help us not only create a unique and original interior, but also push the boundaries of a small room.
The effect of color images
The color of the fireplace, fire and additional elements in the image of the photo wallpaper is a very important component when choosing photo wallpaper. The overall color scheme of the room and everything in it should be in harmony with the color of the image on the photo wallpaper.
To make the image look more realistic and not stand out from the general environment of the room, you need to repeat the colors and shades present in the picture in the interior or design of the room. This can be done with textiles or accessories.
Since it has long been known that colors affect the emotional and physical state of people, you need to choose the color of the image very carefully.
In this regard, there are some good tips from designers and psychologists:
- For the bedroom, choose calm and delicate colors and shades that will customize the rest.
- For the kitchen, colorful images with rich colors are more suitable, they contribute to a good appetite.
- Vivid images are suitable for a children's room if they are located in the active part of the room or images in calm shades in the recreation area.
- For the living room, various color images are suitable that will not damage the visual volume of the room and will be harmoniously combined with all its decor and decoration.
