Materials for art deco wallpaper

The choice of material from which the canvases are made is an important and responsible moment. Manufacturers offer several options that differ in characteristics:

• Paper ones are the cheapest and most common type. They are easy to glue, but have a significant drawback - an extremely low degree of wear resistance.
• Non-woven fabrics are high-quality fabrics made of non-woven materials. They are resistant to chemical and mechanical damage, they are easy to glue, and if they have a moisture-resistant coating, they can be washed. The only negative is the high cost.
• Vinyl is not the most common, since vinyl does not allow air to pass through very well. Due to this, they are not recommended for use in the bedroom, living room and nursery. However, for the kitchen and hallway this is an excellent option. Whatever one may say, vinyl wallpaper is moisture resistant, retains its appearance for a long time, and also smooths out uneven walls as much as possible.
• Textile. If we talk about canvases in the Art Deco style, then textile ones in this case look simply gorgeous. They softly and effectively convey shades and texture, are environmentally friendly, resistant to exposure to the sun, and additionally have heat and sound insulation.
• Photo wallpaper. This type is often used to decorate one wall. In this way, the emphasis is placed only on one side; the remaining surfaces are covered either with plain paint or finished with wallpaper in the same color.

Color solutions

As you already understand, the art deco style is the case when it is quite acceptable to combine the compatible with the incongruous. This also applies to color schemes in wallpaper:

• neutral colors and their successful combinations: white, black, shades of gray, milky, sand, brown;
• metal elements, silver and gold are especially popular;
• high contrast bright palettes.

In general, there are no strict restrictions on shades. The main thing is that they are complex and deep, and look expensive.

Conclusion

To summarize, we can say that wallpaper in the art deco style can create the very accent in the room that will emphasize one direction or another. And it doesn’t matter at all what it will be - a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room or a children’s room. You can choose canvases with elaborate patterns or intricate paintings, in bold, bright shades, but, as a rule, they are accent pieces, so they are not used as a solid finish. The remaining walls can be plain and have neutral shades.
