How to combine wallpaper in the bedroom

Like any other design ideas, selecting and combining two types of wallpaper can have its disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantages include:

• Increased costs due to the cost of several types. This is due to the fact that the combination of materials may result in an increase in their quantity, which incurs certain costs.
• When applying the material to the wall, special precision should be observed in order to avoid possible mistakes.
• It may be necessary to cut the canvas lengthwise, which also requires a certain skill and precision of your actions.
• Usually all objects in the room are in the same color scheme. To do this, the furniture is selected to match the wallpaper. If there are several types of them on the walls, it becomes quite difficult to get into the color scheme.

How to combine wallpaper correctly

In order for two types of wallpaper to look harmonious, they need to be correctly combined with each other, adhering to a certain principle. The combination can be:

1. By color. In the first case, you can choose materials that are in the same color range. The second contains wallpaper that complements each other, but at the same time has contrasting colors. The choice of finishing materials for a bedroom in different colors (photo) should be made by a person who has a keen sense of the style of the room.
2. By decor. Here the main emphasis on the walls is the drawing. When combining several types of materials, you should pay attention to products with contrasting decor, for example, a large three-dimensional pattern and small details.

When selecting wallpaper by color, it is important to avoid too bright and obvious contrasts. In addition, there is no need to forget that the bedroom is a place of rest and relaxation.Too bright, flashy colors that have an exciting effect on the human psyche are not suitable for her. It should be remembered that:

• Rich dark colors are only suitable for spacious rooms; they are difficult to combine.
• An all-time favorite is always white and its shades. This wallpaper goes well with any furniture.
• If materials of different brightness are used, this difference should be significant.

Combining patterns on wallpaper is a rather complex process that does not always work out beautifully. The simplest combination is plain wallpaper with a striped pattern. The gluing process will also be simple. It is better to choose striped wallpaper in two stripes - this also greatly simplifies the process. If there are a lot of colors on the stripes, the second wallpaper should be combined with the main shade of the decorated product.

Wallpapers with different relief patterns are difficult to combine with each other. Also, products of different densities create a significantly visible joint between themselves, which will stand out unattractively on the wall.

Types of combination

Options for pasting two types of wallpaper in the bedroom can be as follows:

1. Vertical combination. Wallpaper pasted on the walls in alternating stripes has a vertical combination with each other. This method is suitable for spacious rooms and visually increases the space and height of the bedroom ceiling. In addition, in this way you can highlight zones in the room and focus on the wall or furniture. For example, this is how the head of the bed, dressing table or work area is highlighted.
   If the bedroom has a complex shape, for example, 5 or more walls, vertical combination can visually smooth out this feature and make it invisible.
2. Horizontal combination.It is best suited for small bedrooms that have high ceilings. Horizontal division of the wall visually expands the room and adjusts the proportions of the room. To do this, you need to stick a product of one type to the middle of the wall, and above that - another. The classic option is the placement of darker tones at the bottom. This is a win-win option that makes any bedroom much more interesting.
   This method expands the space of the room. In addition, lighter wallpaper on top makes the bedroom feel airier and lighter. An unusual option is repeated horizontal combination on the wall. If the horizontal combination is carried out with vertical stripes, the joint line between the two types of wallpaper should be covered with a horizontal strip, border or border. It is important that they also harmonize well with the tone of the pasted wallpaper.
3. Combining blocks. This method involves pasting in blocks - a selected rectangular part that has a contrast with the main color of the wallpaper. Blocks are usually distinguished by bright products that have a rich color or pattern. In this way, you can interestingly highlight the niches available in the bedroom. You can also use part of the wall located behind the shelving as niches.
   In some cases, instead of wallpaper, you can use photo wallpaper when decorating niches. It is also necessary to pay special attention to the color scheme of photo wallpapers and their design. It should suit the overall interior of the bedroom and harmoniously combine with the main wall decoration.

Combining two types of wallpaper in the bedroom is a method accessible to anyone. In order to ease the pain of choice, manufacturers often produce special collections that combine well with each other. They have the same color scheme or pattern, which makes it quite easy to create a unique design in the bedroom. However, when experimenting with interior design, do not forget that the bedroom is a place for sleep and relaxation, which should be cozy and comfortable.
