• It is very important to consider the size of the room in which the wallpaper will be, since it depends on what sizes and colors they should be purchased.

For example: dark and realistic images of large sizes will not fit in a small room, since they will visually make it even smaller.

• It is also necessary to take into account the functions that will carry the mural in the interior of your room. For example: with their help, you can divide rooms into zones or create a separate decor element.

There can be several functions at once, it depends on what size the photo wallpaper in your room will be, since modern photowaves can reach several tens of meters.

There is a special type of photo wallpaper - this 3d photo wallpaper, a novelty of the modern world. They have already gained consumer respect with their realistic three-dimensional images that create a sense of volume.

They are divided into several types:

• Single - these are small sizes of paintings, which are most often used to decorate the interior of a room, as a separate design element. For example, decorating them with a frame from the picture.

If you chose a wallpaper with a picture of New York, then they can be decorated in the form of a window, creating a window frame using wooden, plastic or metal battens.

• Standard ones are canvases in the form of wallpaper rolls, they can be pasted over as part of the wall, or used instead of wallpaper, especially since the pattern on them does not have to be clearly joined.

Often they depict geometric shapes, mysterious signs, hieroglyphs, or abstraction. These murals are used in modern youth interior styles.

• Panoramic - these are very large canvases with which you can paste several walls at once. They are used as the main background of the entire interior, they are often depicted geometrically directed images.

For example: vertical drawings - skyscrapers of New York, tree trunks, antique columns; horizontal drawings - Brooklyn bridge on the background of the city or water, sea and beach, field and sky.

• Fluorescent - this is a different-sized canvas, a hallmark of such photowall-paper is the glow of the image in the dark, due to the phosphorus that is part of it.

Fluorescent murals depicting New York at night will look spectacular. For a greater glow effect, experts advise highlighting the murals during the day, using special black lamps.

• LED is a novelty even among 3D photo wallpapers. This is a kind of electronic system, which consists of a million tiny LEDs. By controlling the remote control, you can change the shades of the image, its color and the picture itself.

But you can’t mount such photowall-paper with your own hands, professionals will do it. This is a very spectacular view of 3D photo wallpaper, but they are very expensive and if the system breaks down, you will have to call the masters.

Varieties of image types

• Background images are a lot of objects or buildings that create a background, sometimes emphasizing the geometry of a room. For example: a view of the skyscrapers of New York from below, which visually raises the ceilings.
• Realistic images are three-dimensional images that create a real and three-dimensional illusion of space. This is the very 3D murals that create a sense of presence.
• Panoramic images are images that create the effect of expanding space. For example: a panoramic view from the window of the city, its streets and attractions.

Ways to apply images

Image printing methods affect the colors and shades of the picture and their durable appearance.

Images are printed using:

• Eco-friendly ink. The image is bright and saturated, it will last a long time and will not fade. The disadvantage of this printing method is the unpleasant smell, which will disappear only after a few days.
• Ultraviolet rays. Special ink under these rays is well and fairly deeply absorbed into the canvas and the image does not fade for a long time, remaining colorful.
• Latex ink. They are good because they freeze almost instantly as soon as they are applied. Such an image will serve you for many years without spoiling.
