Wallpaper design: TOP-150 photos of new designs and combinations in the interior

New ideas from designers

Wallpaper is intended for decorative decoration of room surfaces and hiding cracks (other defects) in walls and ceilings. The material is produced in rolls up to 1.06 meters wide. Some models contain special fibers that are designed to reduce noise levels. In private households, such wallpaper is rarely used. This option is widely used in workshops where good sound insulation is needed.

Today, a huge number of types of finishing materials are known. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Paper wallpaper is the most common option of all. The advantages of wallpaper include a low price, a huge range of colors and textures, and easy installation of the material. The disadvantage of paper wallpaper is the impossibility of pasting rooms with high humidity.

Paper wallpaper reliably hides uneven surfaces and also retains heat in the room. This is due to the fact that the material consists of several layers of thick paper.

The modern design of paper-based wallpaper looks very impressive. The material for finishing walls and ceilings consists of a layer of paper onto which a pattern is applied. Among wallpapers of this type, embossed wallpapers have recently become very popular. Their special feature is a three-dimensional pattern, which gives the wall an effect of scale and hides the cracks and joints of the surface.

Vinyl wallpaper is a wall decoration product made from paper or non-woven fabric. A distinctive feature of vinyl wallpaper is the presence of a top layer coated with polyvinyl chloride. This technology makes it possible to create a product that has increased strength and the ability to withstand external contaminants.

Vinyl wallpaper consists of two layers:

The top layer of wallpaper is covered with a pattern or embossing.

Polyvinyl chloride wallpaper gives the interior a beautiful look and hides flaws in the plaster.

Non-woven wallpaper is another common option for interior decoration. They consist of a cellulose base and a pattern that is created using embossing. Such wallpapers are considered environmentally friendly and durable. A huge advantage is good adhesion to the surface. Such wallpaper does not need to be coated with glue. It is enough to apply it to the wall, since non-woven fabric does not shrink. Non-woven wallpaper is unpretentious in maintenance. If they become dirty, they can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Paintable wallpaper consists of a fabric base and additional elements (soda). They are applied to the surface and then painted with latex paint. The advantages include environmental friendliness and non-flammability. However, among wallpapers for painting there is a very poor choice of patterns and colors. Therefore, this option is more often used in office premises.
Liquid wallpaper has recently appeared on the finishing materials market. Nevertheless, they managed to gain enormous popularity among other types of finishing. What is the secret of this phenomenon? Liquid wallpaper consists of a cellulose base. Therefore, they are completely safe from an environmental point of view. Wallpaper is sold in packages and is a powdery mass. They are diluted in water and kneaded until a homogeneous mass is formed. You can also add natural dyes (gilding) to the mixture. They will give the interior a richer look.

The adhesive for attaching wallpaper should be selected according to the type of material being pasted. Construction stores offer a large assortment from various manufacturers. You can choose glue to suit every taste and budget. The choice remains with the end consumer: the most important thing is to purchase a product with good technical characteristics.

When choosing a glue, you need to remember that it is based on modified starch. Depending on the manufacturer, there may be additional chemicals. Therefore, to avoid allergic reactions when carrying out repairs, you need to carefully read the composition of the product.

How to choose high-quality wallpaper?

Choosing a high-quality material for interior decoration is not an easy task. Before going to a hardware store, it is recommended to study photos of wallpaper design on the Internet or in specialized literature. When choosing wallpaper, you should pay close attention to a number of factors.

Class of the room being finished. Wallpaper should be suitable for the use of the room.
If the wall has flaws in the plaster and cracks, it is best to choose liquid or non-woven wallpaper. Paper versions may not stick well to the surface and may not cover all the unevenness of the surface being finished.

The illumination of the room is an important criterion when choosing a finishing material. The less light enters the room, the lighter the wallpaper should be. In a well-lit room, the choice of colors is not so critical.

Before purchasing finishing material, you need to pay attention to the classification of wallpaper. Manufacturers apply special markings to the packaging of their products. It shows the maximum exposure to sunlight that a particular product model can withstand. Some types of wallpaper, for example, turn yellow and lose their color under certain lighting conditions in the room.

Assemble the wallpaper with an accordion. The size of the folds can fluctuate around 2.5-5 cm.
Make a small hole in the middle of the folded fabric. The cord should be inserted here and then the blinds should be straightened.
