to the contents ↑General considerations
You will spend much less time selecting materials for repair, if you determine in advance what exactly you need. Before you paste wallpaper in the bedroom, try to answer a few questions:
- Who will exactly live in this room?
- Spacious room or cramped?
- What are your personal preferences? On which side do the windows go?
- What is the style of the room?
- Do you need to allocate zones for different activities?
Important! The boy's bedroom is different from the bedroom of his parents and sister. Color, and maybe the kind of wallpaper will be different depending on the tastes of the inhabitant. Personal preferences are the main thing in this story, because a person must relax, and nothing should interfere with this.
Room size
Be sure to consider the size of the room:
- In a spacious bedroom you can make walls of any color.
- If the room is cramped, it's better to take a light color of the wallpaper for the bedroom, which will visually increase the volume.
- In a too large room, dark wallpapers are preferable - they will make the bedroom smaller and more comfortable.
Important! In a very spacious bedroom you can distinguish a corner for practicing your favorite, but not very noisy and dirty business. In this case, it is recommended to use several types of coatings - one for the sleeping area, another for the "workshop", "mini-living room", etc. The wallpaper may differ not only in color, but in appearance or in texture. On which side do the windows go?
This is a very important question if you want to choose the right color for your bedroom wallpaper! If to the south - any color will approach, to the north - pastel colors of a warm zone of a spectrum:
- yellow;
- pink;
- cream;
- beige;
- purple with a predominance of pink.
Style
The choice of this or that style depends, again, on personal preferences. Popular styles for sleeping rooms:
- Classics;
- Minimalism;
- Ethno;
- Provence;
- Romantic;
- Retro;
- Loft. Of course, the design of the walls must match the color of the furniture:
- For the Classics are characterized by strict outlines, light neutral tones, discreet but clearly expensive upholstery. Strength and good taste in everything.
- Minimalism - walls in cold colors, light simple furniture without any curls, forged or cast decorations in a very small amount.
- Ethno - walls "under a tree" or "for untreated stone", wooden furniture, a coverlet from rags, unpainted linen curtains.
- Provence - light walls with a cheerful pattern, graceful curtains, quaint furniture.
- The romantic style is characterized by walls with a pattern suggestive of the charms of rural life, curtains with frills, landscapes on the walls, ruffles and ruches on bedspreads and decorative pillow cases.
- The Retro Bedroom resembles a 60's room. Paper wallpaper with floral ornaments, tulle curtains and cushions on the pillows, wardrobe with a mirror.
- Loft Style gives the impression that all items have come here by accident. They do not seem to fit together, but it's not at all like that. It can be emphasized by combined wallpaper, and the more they differ from each other, the better.
Important! Combined wallpaper can visually enlarge the room - for example, make it higher.

Paper
Despite the fact that the range of finishing materials in stores is huge, many still prefer paper wallpapers. This is not an accident, because this material is cheap, and manufacturers offer a variety of colors, textures and drawings. So you can choose paper wallpapers for any style.

Vinyl
Vinyl wallpaper is more durable than paper, although more expensive. They can be wiped, and sometimes washed. There are a lot of them.
Important! This type of coating should be chosen very carefully, because the plastic does not let air pass. Therefore, it is necessary to think of a very good organization of ventilation in the room.

The main advantages of such wallpapers:
- durability;
- strength;
- elegant appearance.
Important! To obvious disadvantages is the price. Textile wallpaper is more expensive and paper, and vinyl. But they fade not so intensely, although it is not entirely true to say that such a coating does not burn out ever.
Flizelin

This decoration looks very impressive. In addition, it is practical - it does not tear, it does not scratch, it is not afraid of water. You can wash it with a vacuum cleaner. True, the assortment is still small, but this is compensated for by transparency - it can be applied to a painted wall.
Liquid wallpaper
This kind of coating has recently gained immense popularity. The material is still quite cheap, and the assortment, frankly speaking, does not strike with variety.
But you can make your fillers - and then you get a new kind of material. It is superimposed, as well as usual plaster, it is stored for a long time.

Schoolchild room

There may be a variant with liquid wallpaper - the owner will almost certainly like the opportunity to tidy up the damaged plot himself.
Children have grown up
Son or daughter grew up, but still live with you? Great, but the interior in the room will have to be changed. And here we can not do without discussion. Let the owner of the room choose his own style. It will either be similar to the general style of your apartment, or just the opposite. Do not want to, you will learn a lot about yourself.
Wallpapers are possible:

Even a modern business woman sometimes needs to rest, and where it's best to do it, how not in your own bedroom? Wall-papers with a favorite kind, lovely to heart trinkets. Nothing gloomy and repulsive. Pink, beige, cream, peach colors - depending on whether you want to find peace or arouse sensuality.
Men's bedroom
The modern men's bedroom is not at all the abode of an inveterate bachelor, where disorder always reigns. It is a stylishly decorated room, aged in dark or muted tones:
- The wallpaper is brown, blue, green.
- Popular black and white and black and red solutions.
Important! The best way to choose a geometric pattern is to choose a cover without drawing at all.
Shared bedroom
In the marital bedroom, it should be good for both husband and wife. Therefore, it is best to choose a neutral color of the walls - beige or grayish. A picture can be anything.
