Poppies and their impact on humans
Today, many people, starting repairs in the apartment, try to be guided by ancient teachings, one of the most popular of which, of course, is Feng Shui. And in fact, there is nothing strange in this, because even in our country, so far from the teachings of the Buddhists, there is a saying that God saves the safe, and therefore, why not heed what the experts on the hair dryer say shui.
Of course, in ancient teachings there is not a word about wallpaper murals - this is what a modern man came up with, but there are clear instructions for using the poppy flower itself in the interior of an apartment. And in Feng Shui, he personifies success in any endeavors.
Important! In Feng Shui, it is strictly forbidden to use cut flowers and especially ikebana, so if you can’t keep fresh flowers, then maki murals are ideal.
If we talk about the psychological impact, of course, not the poppies themselves, but the red color, you should always remember that this is the color of aggression, which can cause emotional shock and stress, and therefore it should be used very carefully and carefully.
A combination of red and black is considered ideal, but such an interior will turn out gloomy and dark, so either the red poppies mural should be diluted with lighter shades, or you will have to add accents to the interior.
In addition, the location of the photo wallpaper in the room should be taken into account, that is, on which wall they will be glued. It's no secret that wallpaper with a bright print is not used as the main ones, and they act only as accent spots.
Therefore, their location should be thought out very carefully, and we will give some useful tips that will help you make the right choice:
- Wall mural poppies should be placed in the most prominent place in the room, since they will become the standout object that should attract attention.
- The smaller the room, the smaller the drawing should be.
- The predominant red color goes well with black furniture.
- Do not choose wallpapers oversaturated with poppiesIt is better if they are on a white background or in a green field, this will dilute the aggressiveness of color and give the atmosphere additional comfort.
- If the wallpaper is decided to be placed on the ceiling, then the picture should be as small as possible, since a pronounced print will press and visually reduce the space.
- The high price of wallpaper - not yet a guarantee of quality, and this should be remembered when buying a finished product in the store.
Advice! The instructions for gluing wall murals to the ceiling with your own hands provides for thorough preparation of the surface before work, since heavy paper, with inadequate preparation, may begin to peel off over time.
And how diverse wallpaper with flowers and, in particular, with poppies can be, can be seen in the video.
Photowall-paper in an interior
As we said above, the most difficult thing in photo wall murals is the right choice of location for them. And here a lot depends on the purpose of the room.This is relevant both for stylistics in general, and for the teaching of Feng Shui.
An interesting fact is that in this case, Feng Shui completely coincides with what the designers advise and this is due to the fact that the human brain always perceives different colors in a special way, and by the way, it depends on the time of day. That is why, the rules for using wallpaper with poppies for different rooms will be different, but first things first.
Poppies in the living room
The living room in the apartment is the place where the whole family gathers, and various events and parties are also held. There are no particularly annoying factors and the flight for a designer fantasy is much wider. In the living room, wallpaper with poppies can even be placed on the ceiling, provided that the drawing itself will not put pressure on the environment.
A good combination can be considered red poppies on a white background with black furniture. Such an effect will look relevant both in bright light, when for example a party is held, and in twilight, when the whole family gathers in front of the TV in the evening.
If we talk about choosing a wall for photo wallpaper, then the best option would be to use the space that is located on the side of the TV and sofa. This arrangement will not be evident, and at the same time will create a vivid visual effect that will be perceived by peripheral vision.
Also, it is advisable to place a wallpaper with a bright pattern opposite the front door, then at the entrance to the living room the correct perception of the interior will be created right away.
In general, the living room is a place where you can conduct bold experiments, but there are several aspects that should not be done:
- Glue the wallpaper in the background from the TV. In this case, a bright picture will constantly attract eyes, and scatter attention, and this leads to constant headaches.
- The brighter the print on the wallpaper, the stronger the contrast should be on furniture and other parts of the interior.
- No need to use the same wallpaper pattern on all walls, the peculiarity of photo wallpapers is that they give the interior realism, which means that the print should not be repeated.
- Poppies on a long stem visually raise the ceiling, and vice versa, a short leg will reduce it, so if the room has low ceilings, then it is best to choose flowers with stems.
Poppies in the kitchen
The kitchen is the place where many housewives spend most of the day. And it is here that the correct emotional attitude is important, which will push for new experiments. For inspiration, a poppies flower that looks like no other, but the main thing is to place them correctly.
The most relevant place in the kitchen can be considered an apron above the work surface, here the flowers will always be in sight, and at the same time they will not overload the space. The ideal combination for the kitchen is red and white, it is white that visually expand the space that is always so lacking.
In addition to white, shades of green, such as pistachio or lime, will look good. These colors can be used both on walls and in furniture, the main thing is not to overdo it with contrasts, since in this case, the eyes will be in constant tension, which can cause fatigue and migraine.
As for what should not be done in the kitchen, here are a few tips:
- Photo poppies on the ceiling of the kitchen - initially a bad idea, because the eyes involuntarily will focus on them, forcing to raise his head, and when standing on his feet, it is very inconvenient.
- If the floral print is used only on an apron, then it must be supplemented, for example, you can transfer the picture to the countertop or use it in a bowl.
- Large and vivid drawings should not be used, if the total area of the kitchen is small, this will create an oppressive atmosphere.
- Strong contrasting transitions lead to quick recognition of the eyes, so it is better if the poppies are on a green or yellow background.
Important! Paper for photowall-paper pasted in the kitchen should be more dense and preferably washable, since even the most diligent housewife cannot avoid the pollution of the walls in this room.
Poppies in the nursery
For a children's room, any photo wallpaper is considered an ideal solution, including drawing of poppies. Bright flowers in the field will inspire the child and, as it were, create a window into the nature. Here, under the murals, you can give the whole wall, and even if it is located in front of the crib, then beautiful flowers - this will be the first thing that the child sees when he wakes up, and therefore a charge of vivacity and optimism is provided.
And in addition to the purely psychological side of the issue, there is also a practical side. Namely, experienced parents noticed that in children, the attitude to beautiful murals is more frugal than simple, with a picture. This is explained quite simply, the child perceives the photo as something identical to natural nature, and the instincts of creation, not destruction, wake up in the brain.
But here, one should take into account the fact that the psyche of the child has not yet gained strength, and the colors affect it to a much greater extent than the adult, and this fact must be taken into account when planning the repair in the nursery.
In addition to this, there are several important points to keep in mind:
- Photo wallpaper - ideal for children, but only if the child is more than three years old. It is at this age that the worldview begins to take shape. If the child is younger, then it is better to give preference to something more calm and fun.
- Red - aggressive color, which means that poppies should be used very carefully in the design of a nursery, and it would be better if it is a field, rather than single flowers.
- All contrasts in the nursery should be smooth and not depress the child.
- Do not glue wallpaper on the wall, next to which there is a crib, it is better if it is a wall opposite or side.
Poppies in the bedroom
The bedroom is a place of rest and love, and according to Feng Shui, this is what red poppies contribute to. Flowers create peace and comfort in the room, which means they help to improve relations between people. Here, wallpapers with poppies can be used at the head of the bed, or on the ceiling, and black or just dark furniture will combine perfectly here.
Additional accents, such as a red bedspread or a canopy above the bed, also look good. The most important thing is not to overdo it with red color, as psychologists have noticed that a large amount of this color in the bedroom leads to unpleasant dreams and fatigue, but here you need to rest and relax, which is why the head of the bed is considered the most successful location for photo wallpaper.
Another small secret that designers often use in their work is the use of hidden lights in the area where the photo wallpaper is located. The main thing is that she should not be bright and intrusive. Ideal LEDs placed under the ceiling in a special niche. They give diffused light and do not press on eyes.
In addition, the LEDs can be adjusted brightness, which means that they can be used as a kind of night light.
Important! Do not use colored LEDs for photo wallpaper, as they can change the spectrum in the figure, which will therefore completely change.
But with regards to what cannot be done in the bedroom, much depends on personal preferences and taste, but there are still a few general points:
- Large and voluminous drawings in the bedroom create an uncomfortable atmosphere, so it is better to use small fragments of wallpaper, rather than fill the entire wall.
- You can not oversaturate the room in red and use strong contrasts.
- Do not use photos with sunset or dawn, the brain will be lost in the time of day after waking up, and this will create certain inconveniences.
- Poppies on long stems will greatly increase the ceiling, but for a bedroom, this is not always good and does not contribute to comfort.
To summarize
As you can see, wall murals in an apartment are a good option, which is definitely worth considering when planning a repair. The main thing is to correctly place accents, and then blooming red poppies will not obsessively attract eyes, but will harmoniously fit into the overall design.
It is equally important to catch the right balance, as large and intrusive murals will quickly become boring and sooner or later, households will simply begin to hate them.
