How to choose wallpaper for a small bedroom?

Wallpaper is a traditional material that is still popular. But with them it is important to balance, especially in cramped rooms. An ideal option would be a layout from scratch, without a bed and other furniture. So you can immediately build a space to your taste and needs.

Important! Interior designers advise choosing low furniture of laconic shapes for small rooms, using mirrors and abandoning bulky curtains. This does not mean that the room will become cold and uncomfortable. It should remain a place of solitude and relaxation, which can be done using only minimalistic decor.

If you need to repair the living room, you will have to free the bedroom from furniture. This is necessary in order to correctly evaluate its size and decide which wallpaper to choose in a small bedroom. Look at the room with a fresh look - how it is lit and think about what decor you are ready to refuse. To prevent the room from being cramped, use these tips:

• Wallpaper should not be bright and striking.
• If you want to use wallpaper with a pattern, avoid a large, often repeating ornament.
• Choose wallpaper without a border - it reduces space.
• Stop at the vertical stripes.
• Use one large element in your wall design. It can be a wall at the head of the bed or a fragment of photo wallpaper.
• Choose light colors - they visually increase the space.
• The color of the walls is affected by which side the windows face. If it is south, stop at a warm or cold color scheme, north - choose only warm shades.

Take samples of your favorite wallpaper from the decoration materials store and see how they will look in the room under different lighting conditions: morning, afternoon, under the light of a lamp.

Important! You can adjust the color scheme by selecting textiles, flooring and bed linen that complement each other in color.

Types of wallpaper for the bedroom

Modern wallpaper is no longer just printed paper. They imitate fabric, natural materials, are made from synthetic materials. If when choosing the texture and color you need to focus only on personal preferences, then the choice of wallpaper material for a small bedroom should be done, focusing on:

1. Hygroscopicity of the material - the ability to absorb and give off moisture.
2. Environmental friendliness. A small space concentrates harmful substances that enter the air from poor-quality furniture and even wallpaper. Therefore, it is important to use as many high-quality materials from natural raw materials as possible.
3. Easy to clean. Have you noticed how greasy spots that cannot be removed appear on old paper wallpaper above the head of the bed and at the switches? Therefore, take a look at materials that are easy to clean or are inexpensive so that you can quickly replace the area with a dirty stain.
4. Resistance to sunshine. Pay attention to the labeling of the wallpaper roll. It indicates the light fastness of the dyes.
5. Strength. A poor-quality coating may soften during operation by absorbing too much glue. Or vice versa - it may turn out to be too brittle and deform after gluing.

Important! In a small bedroom it is not so easy to ensure a constant flow of air, so the room must be constantly aired before bedtime and in the morning.

In addition, the wallpaper can hide or emphasize the unevenness of the walls. Therefore, having decided on the colors and shades of the walls, we learn more about wallpaper materials:

• Paper is a classic material for decorating walls. They are inexpensive, safe, which explains their popularity. The disadvantage is their soiling, low light resistance, difficulty in care.
• Vinyl - on a paper basis with a decorative, foamed vinyl pattern. They differ in texture: embossed, smooth, silk-screen printing. Their advantages are resistance to fading, moisture and mechanical stress, the possibility of painting. Cons - poor breathability, which makes them unsuitable for a small bedroom.
• Non-woven fabric - non-woven fabric based coating. Air-pass, eco-friendly, easy to stick. Their disadvantage is expensive, demanding care.
• Natural finishing materials - made of veneer, bamboo, straw and cork. The disadvantages of such a coating - it is easily damaged, afraid of moisture, burns out in the sun.
• Liquid wallpaper is a material more like plaster than usual wallpaper. A composition of paper, with pigments and sparkles, is applied to the wall. Their main advantage is that they are applied without joints, align walls, are safe, a relief pattern can be made on their surface. The only drawback is the high cost.
• Metallized - made on the basis of thin foil. Very beautiful, and the metallic sheen increases the space. Wear resistance is much higher than that of paper wallpapers. But they are quite expensive, and still require absolutely smooth walls.
• Photo wallpaper is now the most popular type of wallpaper with photos. It can be framed panels mounted on the wall. It is important that the bedroom does not have tall, bulky furniture that distracts from a realistic picture on the wall.

Important! Choose photos with a drawing that goes into perspective: forest road, street. This will noticeably enliven the interior and give it depth.

You can combine different types of wallpaper, creating with the help of different textures and materials the visual center of the room. This looks more interesting than pasting the entire room with wallpaper from one material.

Bedroom design

You can increase the size of the room not only with color, but also with the help of the wall covering structure. Here the rule applies: the more pronounced the relief, the more sparkles and large patterns, the more they steal space.But you should not give up textured wallpaper - there are a few tricks for those who do not like smooth walls and want to not only decorate the room, but also hide its flaws:

1. If the texture of the finishing material is fine-grained, imitating sand or fabric, then it will hide the unevenness of the walls and add more space.
2. Brilliant wallpapers due to the play of light on the surface will also visually enlarge the bedroom.

When the room is not just small, but has a non-standard shape or high ceilings, you can depart from the classical laws of design. We learn how to choose wallpaper for a small bedroom of an unusual layout:

• A narrow room will become wider if there is a large drawing on the walls. The nuance is that wallpaper with a large ornament needs to be glued to a short wall, and with a small one - to a long one.
• The high ceiling will become lower if the wall covering is light in color with horizontal stripes. To design such a room, you can use the curb, which visually lowers the ceiling. Or stick the wallpaper not vertically, but horizontally.
• Raises the ceiling and pasting the walls in 2 different colors. Dark is below, and lighter is under the ceiling.
• If there is little light in the bedroom, create the illusion of a window. Frame your cityscape photo and hang it on the wall.

Important! If you decorate all the walls with paintings or murals, the bedroom will seem smaller than it actually is.

• Do not forget that lighting is very important for a bedroom. Without additional light sources, the room will be visually smaller. Therefore, choose convenient floor lamps for reading, LED illumination of the bed and nightstands, which will illuminate all corners and create a cozy intimate atmosphere.
• Complete the interior with glass and mirrors, which also add depth and volume to the space.
• Is there a niche in the room? Order and place a tall wardrobe with a mirrored surface. Or decorate the walls with wallpaper of a dark contrasting color and place light glass shelves in them with light.
• You can highlight a free section of a wall with a light coating by sticking vinyl stickers on it. This method is suitable for quickly refreshing the interior.
