Combination of wallpaper and laminate

The basis of the repair is the walls, floor and ceiling. And not the least role is played by the harmonious combination of these elements. You need to take the combination of floors and walls especially seriously, because they are in close proximity to each other and take on 90% of creating harmony.

Wallpaper is often chosen as a covering for walls, and laminate for flooring. Therefore, the first question is: how to choose the right combination of wallpaper and laminate. Let's figure it out.

General provisions for color combinations

Before moving on to a particular case, you need to understand the general principles of color combinations in the apartment. So, among the basic rules we highlight the following:

• Harmony. This is what you need to strive for first. Contrasting combinations in the interior are also a pleasure, but you need to keep in mind that you won’t be able to re-stick the wallpaper and re-lay the laminate every two weeks, and live in an apartment every day. You quickly get tired of bright colors and sharp contrasts, so try to achieve harmony. And bright colors can be added as additional accessories.
• Proportion of flowers. The best ratio is 60:40 or 60:30:10. Keep this in mind, because there will be other objects and shades in the room.
• Individual perception. Consider the opinions of all family members when choosing the color of the flooring and walls.After all, tastes are different, and it’s good if everyone enjoys being in the room.

So, the main rule is harmony. Try to avoid dissonance in the combination of palettes, and we will help you figure out how to do this.

How to choose the right combination of wallpaper and laminate

Wall and floor coverings take up most of the room, so their colors are important. When choosing a finishing color, follow the algorithm.

1. Think about functionality. Here you need to consider which room is being renovated. For a bedroom, for example, red or bright green walls will be inappropriate, and for a kitchen, light laminate.
2. Select one area first. So, choose your favorite shade for the walls, and then choose a laminate to match it, or vice versa. It’s easier to start from one zone.

On a note! It is better to take the color of the floor as a basis, since there are fewer options for flooring.

Now let’s look at successful combinations for the available laminate options.

Selecting the right combination for common types of laminate

Usually laminate is made with imitation wood, however, there are other models. We will divide the available models into dark and light for the convenience of selecting a combination.

Dark colors

Dark colors include dark oak, dark walnut, wenge and chestnut. They are suitable for creating a classic, baroque, Scandinavian style.

A dark floor provides a basis for the use of cool colors, both dark and light. It is better not to use it with warm light colors, as the floor in this case will seem redundant and isolated.

Light shades

Light colors include bleached oak, alder, milky beige, and gray. Here you can find both warm and cool shades.

It is better to choose warm shades of walls for warm light tones, and similarly cold shades for cold ones.But you can use contrasting shades as additional accessories: furniture, decorations.
