Achievable effects

In addition to creating a certain mood (pacified in the bedroom and energetic in the study), photo wallpapers also have other features, due to which a unique atmosphere can be created in the room.

We achieve the desired effect

So:

• The bright large image among the monotonous walls accentuates attention and becomes the central point of the interior, setting the general tone for the rest of the environment.
• Panoramic 3D photo wallpaper create an incredible impression of depth and reality, thanks to which the room seems many times more and more spacious. When you look at the photo wall murals with this visual effect, you get the full impression that it’s enough to take just a step to step through the wall to the roof of a skyscraper, into a concert hall or go out to the palace balustrade.
• And of course, the murals will be able to put a decisive point in determining the style of the entire room. Images wisely selected emphasize the character of the person living in the room and create the right atmosphere in public places.

Attention: But it’s worth knowing some rules, thanks to which it will be not only easier to choose a wallpaper with the desired plot, but also to fully use their capabilities in creating the interior.

How to choose the right wallpaper

Of course, each person has his own tastes and preferences that affect his choices. And the same image in different people can cause different associations.

• For example, the image of a forest glade reminds one person of a picnic and a good time, a romantic meeting. Mushroom pickers and hunters will have other pleasant memories.
• But for a person who somehow got lost in the forest and spent the night on a similar meadow in the grass wet from dew, this image will resurrect unpleasant memories. And hardly he would have wanted to see him in his living room.

Nevertheless, in order not to turn out so that the picture you like is not at best out of place, and at worst does not completely destroy the harmony of the interior, you should adhere to some rules.

Attention: Do not forget that if you can’t make your own choice, you can always turn to professional designers for help or consult with specialists.

Pasting

There are peculiarities in preparatory activities when pasting wallpapers on different types of surfaces.

But the general scheme always looks like this:

• Preparation of the underlying surface. Removing old wallpaper, paint, putty. Smoothing irregularities and roughness, leveling, cleaning from grease, dirt and so on. It may be necessary to apply a primer and time to dry the wall, if in the process it was necessary to moisten it with water to remove old wallpaper and so on.
• Preparation of the place and materials, that is, the wallpaper and glue itself, if the wallpaper is not self-adhesive. And also the creation of convenient working conditions. Photowall-paper can consist both of one piece, and of several. In the latter case, it is necessary to determine in advance which part will be glued in the first place, and which last and put them in order on the floor or other flat surface. And it is advisable to do this near the place of work, but at the same time so as not to stomp on them.
• The process of sticker on the right place. The reverse side is smeared with glue. Next, usually an edge is taken, the top or one of the side, is applied to the intended line and aligned along it. And then the entire segment is smoothed out.
• Alignment, smoothing, joining joints and more.

Attention: For the convenience of the sticker on the back of the multi-part picture, some manufacturers indicate the sticker order on the wallpaper.

• It is also very important that all joints fit perfectly, otherwise the picture will be spoiled. And of course, you should keep order and not be nervous if the first time fails. At the end of the sticker, the wallpaper is smoothed out with a dry rag or roller, excess adhesive protruding at the joints is removed. And do not forget that, as in the case with ordinary wallpaper, drafts should be avoided.
• Usually, after a day, the glue dries completely, and photo wallpaper becomes an integral part of your interior.
