Wallpapering in two types
There are various reasons why designers make a choice in favor of pasting walls with combined wallpapers. So that the walls do not represent a uniform color spot, apply the interchangeability of different textures of wallpaper of the same color. And almost everything can be done with your own hands.
In which cases resort to combination:
- Room with high ceilings with a small footage;
- The disproportion of length and width complicates the layout;
- The room needs to be divided into separate zones;
- There is a desire to dilute the situation using a large plane (one of the walls);
- It is necessary to emphasize some individual elements of the situation;
- The task is to establish a visual connection between adjacent rooms.
Common Combinations
There are a large number of sticker options for the two types of wallpaper, this is starting with a combination of different material backgrounds with the same structure and ending with a different textured texture of the material. Let's look at how, in practice, wallpapering is applied in two colors.
A popular option is to divide the wall horizontally. This method is mainly suitable for high ceilings.
We divide the wall according to the proportion 1: 2. The junction line can run both at the bottom and at the top of the room, of your choice.
The settled combinations:
- Striped wallpaper - bottom, plain - top;
- Small pattern - bottom, large pattern - top;
- 2/3 - a picture with large stripes or flowers, 1/3 - canvases of the same tone.
If you are distinguished by a creative approach and the desire for elegance, to distinguish between different paintings, moldings (decorative overlays) are suitable. This patch strip is glued on top. But you can make an insert and directly to the surface.
Another option is vertical rotation. As a rule, it is used to achieve the tricks of the illusory “stretching” of walls.
When it comes to pasting the walls of the corridor, we recommend choosing a washable wallpaper with the following combination: dark colors - down, light - up.
Here's a selection of variations in vertical alignment:
- We connect two walls. We select two prevailing colors, we alternate on one of the working walls, making the color change intentionally smoothly. Pasting of strips in 1-2 is allowed, it is no longer worth it.
- Asymmetrically alternate. The center of one of the selected walls is highlighted with a saturated stripe that attracts attention.
- Opposite the wall opposite the middle strips of a similar catchy color, and the background canvas will occupy the remaining space. This technique will help to visually increase the size of your room.
- Alternating symmetrically. On top of the background paintings in the center of the room we glue wide saturated stripes. This technique will add dynamics, but will bring the effect of a slight narrowing of the room. It is better to immediately decide whether you are faced with such a task.
Recently, they are increasingly resorting to redevelopment with the installation of lightweight partitions.Is it permissible in this case to glue the wallpaper directly on plywood? Experts give a clear positive answer: permissible. Moreover, the existing base can also be used as an element of intermittency of colors.
Consider the following design decisions that may be useful to you. One of them is highlighting in color or texture.
For this purpose, you can apply a wall covering, which has become very fashionable - cullet (see Fiberglass Wallpaper and Interior Applications) This material has a very interesting texture resembling fiberglass fabric, and perfectly emphasizes relief elements such as protrusions, niches and arches.
If a bright color is used as the background, then the relief element of the interior, pasted with wallpaper of the same tone, but with a different texture, will clearly stand out against the general background.
In which cases use the selection of a wall section in a different color:
- The task is to delimit the room into separate zones;
- It is necessary to emphasize a fragment of the interior and not let it merge with the general background;
- It is necessary to highlight the primary detail, which will set the mood for the entire interior according to our plan.
Companion wallpapers:
- Visually reduce the size of the room will help contrasting the decoration of selected walls;
- Embossed combinations and combinations of a number of drawings will also help emphasize design features;
- Room transitions by the type of enfilade (without doors) can be enhanced by color highlighting, while the contrast is balanced by catchy color spots.
Cullets and molar fiberglass can be used as wall panels. Creativity is gaining popularity, consisting in the creation of color spots on the walls and their conclusion in baguette frames for paintings (see. How to hang pictures on the wall: options) Agree, a very original way to revitalize the atmosphere and decorate the interior in a non-trivial way.
Deciding which design is right for us is not always that easy. That is why designers turn to different tricks and in different cases combine all of the above methods. One of them will surely transform our premises in the best way.
Arched decor
A separate topic is the decor of arched openings between rooms (see Decoration of arches: how to do it) Let's look at how an arch is properly wallpapered.
What we need:
- Stage (you can use tables, stools);
- Directly wallpaper;
- Adhesive suitable for working with these wallpapers;
- Roller and special spatula for smoothing;
- Measuring tool and stationery knife for cutting.
Procedure:
- We can’t do without stable stages. However, it is not necessary to spend money on purchased building platforms, although they are very convenient, quickly assemble and disassemble. You can use the table or the stage from the boards;
- For arched decor, it is recommended to choose a wallpaper with a small pattern that is not conspicuous;
- Be sure to pre-verify that the wallpapers prepared for gluing correspond to the type of glue. Universal glue can do fine with lightweight canvases, but heavy vinyl and non-woven need glue based on PVA;
- It is necessary to correlate the pattern in the arch with the pattern on the wall, make markings and start cutting the roll into sheets;
- First, we paste over the front, then the back wall of the arch. Do not lose sight of the fact that you need to leave a little space at the edges for bending;
- The center of the arch is the last to be decorated. This is done through a single canvas: from floor to floor evenly throughout the arch.
We hope that now you will not be confronted with such an uncomplicated and detailed analysis of our operation as wallpapering the arch.
About the type of base and work directly with plywood
Various base materials - natural, painted or plastered - all of them have their own characteristics when wallpapering.
Consider the event of wallpapering on plywood.
- With such a sticking, pay close attention to the procedure for coating the seams with a primer and, if the need arises, gluing them with paper strips.
- Immerse the protruding nails in the thickness of the plywood, after which it is good to coat with varnish. If you decide to prime the work surface, this will increase the adhesion of plywood to the canvas.
You can proceed. We finish plywood with artificial stone:
- As an element of the interior, artificial or decorative stone is very convenient and popular in the design of modern rooms. However, we are more concerned with the question: is it permissible to glue it on the wallpaper? The answer of experts is negative.
- Wallpaper should be glued to the overlapping surface under consideration.
- Artificial stone will be extremely poorly held on a vertical plane if it is faced with smooth material.
Combine wallpaper
Let's look at one of the most common design techniques - the combination of wallpaper.
Attention: Before starting the repair, we should already have a more or less intelligible idea of what room we want to see when the repair is completed.
- Do not be afraid of experiments with textures and color coatings. They will be justified provided that the functions and features of the room are evaluated correctly.
- Taking into account all the available factors, from the dimensions of the room to the nuances of the layout, we choose the most suitable way of wallpapering.
The methods described below can be applied to any standard interior. If the room has a non-standard layout, obviously, you need to show more imagination and combine several types of alternations.
Vertical stripes
The option with vertical stripes always adds dynamics to the interior. It is only necessary to use two types of strips of different colors and textures.
You can work with a combination of shades of the same color, but you can apply contrasting combinations. In the first case, we strive to achieve a play of shadows, in the second - we emphasize the originality of our interior solutions.
Horizontal stripes
Many owners choose a horizontal finish. Why not? After all, it fits into absolutely all famous design styles, allows you to alternate wallpapers of any shades and textures.
So:
- What exactly to alternate is a matter of your personal preferences. But pay close attention to the proper selection of the width.
For example, in rooms with high ceilings, our experts advise combining stripes in a 2: 1 ratio. - The combination of non-woven and textile wall coverings makes a tremendous impression - a sort of game of a lurid relief and delicate depiction.
- To diversify the procedure for pasting walls with wallpaper, you can use additional decorative elements.
Attention: Define butt joints before gluing strips, mark them with a line parallel to the floor level.
- Horizontal finishing is carried out from top to bottom, in the area of the butt sections we provide an inlet, we will cut it at the very end.
- If the gaps that occurred during gluing became noticeable, you will have to hide them with a curb or a tape special for such purposes. However, borders will add grace, even if you do not need to hide flaws.
- Often the canvases differ markedly in width. The use of decorative elements such as polyurethane moldings and wooden battens will make it possible to solve this problem without any particular difficulties.
- One of the most original methods is the wallpaper paste method. But this design is carried out exclusively on well-prepared walls.
- First of all we glue light background wallpapers.Behind them are prepared inserts, which can be quite thick, massive and of all kinds of shapes. Most often they use rectangular inserts, but you can come up with an ensemble of other geometric shapes - it all depends on your imagination.
- In the children's room, inserts depicting heroes of fairy tales and cartoons will look very cute and funny.
Wall pasting methods
Depending on your preference, it is worth considering several of the most common ways to use the combination:
- Consider applying liquid wallpaper. It is a natural and safe material that imitates fabric.
- In the living room, you may need a visual demarcation of the room into functional areas. Combined wallpaper will calmly cope with this familiar task, endowing each separated section of the room with semantic content.
- In the hall we can offer to test the method of "accent wall". Its essence lies in the fact that the wall behind the TV, which usually occupies a dominant place, is made significantly contrasting with the background of the rest of the room. The effect will be amazing.
Custom Design Methods
Types of wallpapering of two types are selected depending on the design and style of the room. The price of the material can be any, the main thing is to choose the right combination correctly.
- We have already considered variations with wallpaper inserts. But what if we go further and cover the walls entirely with inserts, even without the use of a seemingly obligatory background? Such a bold and creative way of gluing is known as patchwork combination.
- Very similar to a patchwork from distant childhood, is not it? Such a design is unlikely to leave without vivid emotions.
- But it is important to observe color measure and general harmony. You can glue any wallpaper inserts, but still you need to have an idea uniting the existing ornament.
Attention: If there are a lot of relief elements in the room in question, stop considering them to be inconveniences of planning, but rather use all available arches and ledges to create a truly original interior!
Try not to hide again all these uncomfortable elements, but on the contrary, risk highlighting.
Wallpapering in these places is carried out by contrasting canvases. If the rest of the wallpaper is light - make the existing recesses dark. If the rest of the pattern is shallow - pick a more impressive pattern for the protrusions!
Final recommendations:
- Get wallpaper in one department in order to avoid a mismatch of colors and textures.
- Try to use canvases of the same width.
- Combine not only for visual reasons, but also to correct the design flaws.
The options for wallpapering in two colors can be quite different, and here you must consider the style of the room. The instruction will help you choose the right solution and make the room unique.
