Wall decor from leftover wallpaper and newspapers
You can change the decor of your bedroom using newspapers and leftover wallpaper from previous renovations. Newspapers acquire the status of a decorative material only in contrast with something else. They should not be used to cover the entire room. You can glue one wall, part of it, a niche, a certain area, for example, under open shelves, an architectural detail. A panel or collage of newspapers looks good against the wallpaper.
Important! For decoration, you can use any newspapers or magazines, be sure to match the tone of the paper.
The newspapers are glued overlapping with regular glue for paper wallpaper using a roller. For fastening, it is recommended to coat with a protective varnish. Framed color photos look great on a newspaper wall.
There are a lot of ideas for decorating from leftover wallpaper. An unusually beautiful way is to create a collage of wallpaper on the wall at the head of the bed. This can be a patchwork decor in a patchwork style or certain fragments harmoniously assembled into a pattern, selected according to the color scheme.Fragments of wallpaper framed with wall molding look simple and impressive.
How to use fabric for wall decoration
Decorating with fabric is one of the most stylish options. The work is considered difficult; it is impossible for one person to completely cope with pasting the wall. Correctly aligning or lifting the fabric can only be done when decorating a small area. The material can be stretched, secured with slats around the perimeter, glued, or draped.
Important! Working with fabric requires careful leveling of the surface. Before sticking, the wall is covered with paper wallpaper, after it has dried, it is sanded with sandpaper and coated with furniture varnish to create perfect smoothness.
You can decorate the wall with decorative panels framed with molding. The patchwork style design of the entire wall or just part of it at the head of the bed looks great. In addition, from the remnants of the same materials, you can make flowers that will complement and decorate the interior.
Stones and frames on the walls
A budget option for decorating a wall with stones is to use ordinary pebbles collected on the sea coast.
Reference! Stones can be purchased in chain stores in the departments of decorative and landscape goods; small stones are sold in pet stores.
Stones require preliminary preparation. First, they are cleaned of dust and coated with glossy varnish to add shine. For decoration, stones of the same texture are selected, which are then glued to the wall in the chosen order. You can use stone paintings to decorate the wall. To do this, a pattern is created on the canvas, along which the stones are distributed. Then the glued materials are painted in the desired color.
Reference! Additionally, shells, bugles, artificial flowers, dried leaves, string, and beads are used to create original paintings
The finished painting needs to be varnished and framed. 3-4 paintings made in the same technique and the same size look original. You can use stones to line niches with lighting if available.
Decorating with frames of family or art photographs, posters or paintings is also a budget-friendly way to decorate a bedroom. According to psychologists, an empty wall has a depressing effect on the human psyche. Photo frames easily solve this problem, plus they cover all existing defects well.
On light wallpaper, simply empty frames of different geometric shapes look stylish. An interesting solution is frames with thematic photographs, for example, old black and white ones from the early twentieth century. Particularly original are frames made with your own hands from scrap materials left over after renovation (plinths, remnants of wooden blocks, fiberboard or chipboard, cardboard) decorated with beads, rhinestones, sea pebbles, dried flowers or leaves. In the bedroom it is appropriate to place a photo composition about the history of the family.
Homemade photo wallpaper printed on a printer
If you have a color printer, you can create your own photo wallpaper. Using available programs (Poster Printer, Photoshop, Corel Draw), an image of the required size is created, which is then divided into A4 size fragments. After printing them, you need to painstakingly assemble them, like puzzles, into a single picture. The result is an original budget decor. The Internet will help you suggest an idea for wallpaper for the bedroom. Properly selected black and white posters will also look original.At the same time, their cost is 2-3 times cheaper.
If the sheets are glued together with the slightest discrepancy, the overall design will look unattractive
A huge role is played by the quality of printing and consumables, color saturation and harmony, correctly selected drawing scale and lighting. If it is necessary to cut off excess areas, this must be done extremely carefully and precisely so as not to disturb the picture. All fragments must be of the same print quality (color, sharpness, saturation).
