  • Be sure to consider the functionality of the room in which you are going to place the wallpaper. For example: in the kitchen, choose cloths that can be washed and cleaned, as they will quickly become dirty, with a bright color scheme of the image; the bedroom needs environmentally friendly and breathable linens, calm colors.
  • Also, when choosing, they rely on the functions that the wallpaper will perform. For example: when zoning a children's room, you need to take into account the function of the zone - in the recreation area you need a calm color, and in the play area a colorful palette is better.
  • The illumination of the room affects how the image will look. Please note that the dark color of the image will not work in a dark room, only if you make the right additional lighting.
  • Using the sizes and colors of the photo wallpaper, you can visually resize the room. For example: images with a Venice canal extending into the distance - visually lengthen the room; image with a view from a window or balcony - expand it.
  • The type of image itself is chosen, taking into account the style of the interior in the room. For example: almost any image of Venice will fit in a room in a classic style; in modern styles, black-and-white images or drawings made in graphics will look good.
  • The color scheme of the image on the photo wallpaper is selected to match the colors of the entire interior. Please note that the colors and shades present in the image should be repeated in the interior and design of the entire room, only in this case it will be harmonious.
