The bedroom in the house as a microcosm is a quiet, intimate, especially cozy room. In this room they do not receive guests, do not arrange parties, and do not welcome the noise: they should sleep well here, rest, stay alone with their thoughts and recover from hard work and other everyday fuss. And for such important tasks, the visualization of the bedroom is not at all indifferent: color decisions regarding furniture, decor, and the general scheme of space. First of all, the overall background is important, which is largely set by wallpaper.
The influence of the pattern on the perception of the interior
Shades and colors - this is not all that can be said about the wallpaper in the bedroom. If the owner often copes with color quickly, then it is often difficult to say which picture he imposes on the walls of his bedroom. Let us examine this question in more detail.
- Floral motifs. Flowers are the classics promoting the romantic, easy atmosphere of slowness and tranquility. At the same time, floral wallpaper deprives a room of emptiness, which is sometimes perceived as tension and can even exacerbate the feeling of loneliness.
But flowers are different: if you choose lush roses or a very colorful pattern, not every man will be happy with such a decision. Therefore, a compromise is found in vintage prints, unobtrusive pattern and calm colors.
- Cell, strip. Striped variations, characterized by tonality of color, are often a reconciling decision if the debate about the wallpaper in the bedroom are deadlocked. It is difficult to get tired of the strip, it is concise and moderately strict, does not carry any fashionable tasks (which tend to become obsolete, yielding to new trends). The cage is all the same, except that for some reason, the cage is more often preferred by men. Women probably consider it very strict.
Remember that the vertical stripes visually make the room taller, the horizontal ones expand the space.
- Ornament. This drawing is repeated at a certain interval. A very large and colorful ornament will give the bedroom such a dynamic that it can’t be called a relaxation room. Too small and frequent - will become a distracting element. Well, if the ornament on the wallpaper is in tune with another element of the interior, it is not very bright, not very motley and does not attract all the attention to itself.
If a bright ornament or, for example, large flowers is what you think is stylish and ideally suits your idea of a cozy bedroom, you can decorate the wall above the headboard with such wallpaper. It will not distract from falling asleep, and will not turn a room into a dazzling field. One accent wall is enough.
Popular shades and their psychology
Each color has its own character. And each color for a particular person has additional characteristics. If one likes green to madness, he calms him, balances, then another green wallpaper will put to sleep and in every way annoy. Therefore, all the tips regarding the color of the wallpaper for the bedroom are only relatively universal. It is worth looking at the most popular colors in more detail.
- Turquoise and different shades of blue. For those who dearly love the sea and miss it, such walls can seem like a good investment in a partial visualization of a dream. You will wake up and fall asleep in the color of sea water and clear sky, and the mood itself will rise.Blue and turquoise do have a relaxing, soothing effect.
To enhance this action, to remove some of the coldness that they can bring to the interior, the furniture should be the color of warm sand. And the cover on the bed, and other textiles, even visually, should be soft, with a delicate, possibly fleecy structure.
- White. The first association with this color is pure, fresh. And for many people, it is white that will be the most soothing and most suitable color. But if you decide, in an attempt to follow fashion, to glue the room with white, although you feel that color is more associated with hospital sterility than with freshness, look for other options. Sometimes white is perceived as a cold, frosty color, which is far from understanding comfort.
If you are close to the aesthetics of scandi, feel free to settle for white, but if the milder is not so discreet Provence, give up the idea of white wallpaper.
- Navy blue. Many residents of megacities are sure that the wallpaper and should be dark blue, adjusting to sleep and rest. But this option is suitable only for those who are not confused by dark shades, who can not only sleep in such a color environment, but also read, work, communicate.
Despite the main purpose of the bedroom, sometimes it performs a variety of functions, and a calm atmosphere can dramatically turn into a sleepy, constraining, leaving no other options than to close your eyes and fall asleep.
- Beige. Here it is - the very neutrality and versatility. Beige will never come out of a cage of fashionable shades. There is no need to select special furniture for it: practically everything that is a running color is suitable for it. If your bedroom is northern, choose delicate cream shades.
- Green. All those who are engaged in serious mental work, and whose brain is particularly in need of relaxation, should look at the wallpaper of green shades. This is a natural color, so it is quite appropriate and permissible in different variations, from the noble emerald to the democratic herbal.
- Gray. It is almost the same neutral color as beige. He often needs a bright color support, diluted with some juicy accent color, it is not always easy to pick it up.
True, in the interior of a bedroom with this color, you need to be careful - on glossy surfaces, it can create a metallic cold shine that does not at all impress the concept of the bedroom itself.
- Brown. Reliable and warm as the earth itself, this color is well perceived by our consciousness. Comfort and well-being are often unwittingly associated with a deep brown color.
For a small bedroom - this is a controversial option, but for a spacious space - a very suitable one.
Many owners turn to Feng Shui, believing that the wise thoughts of this philosophical direction are not unfounded. The color in the bedroom, according to Eastern thought, depends on its location. For example, a bedroom located in the east or southeast will be well perceived with green wallpaper.
But green must be diluted with other colors so that the active color does not cause insomnia.
For the central, southwestern and northeastern rooms, ocher shades (characteristic of the elements of the Earth) are most suitable. But the southern bedroom, according to Feng Shui, will suit the wallpaper with a red tint, but perhaps located only in one bedroom area. It is believed that this color has a beneficial effect on family relationships. On the north side, blue wallpapers are allowed (but not solid blue).
What colors should be treated with caution?
Take the same red color, which favors feng shui. This is an aggressive color, for some people it will give energy and vitality, it will stimulate action. But not everyone takes the necessary message from red wallpaper: often the red color depresses the person, as if he suppresses his will, does not allow him to concentrate.
Finally, in the interior itself red approximates and enlarges all objects, makes them more massive: for a small bedroom this is far from the best option.
The yellow color is invigorating, but whether it is necessary in the bedroom. But you can choose muted shades of yellow, if you want exactly the color wallpaper to glue in this room. Yellow, diluted milky, very good option. Another controversial color can be called purple. For many people, it causes concern, so this color is not so good in the bedroom. But a softer lavender shade may be appropriate in the room, especially if the furniture is of delicate, soothing colors.
Bright shades of pink distract, do not allow to concentrate, which can cause negative emotions literally every day. If you use pink for the interior of the bedroom, it is very dosage.
Combining wallpaper
The most popular option is wallpaper companions. As soon as the design of the room with the combination of wallpaper was not just an option but a trend, manufacturers jumped at the idea. And now it is not always necessary to choose a pair yourself, wallpapers are already sold in the kit. Wallpaper in the bedroom can be combined for the following purposes:
- room zoning;
- emphasizing the characteristics of the room and masking its flaws;
- visual change in the proportions of the bedroom;
- emphasizing a specific wall;
- creating a point of focus or adaptation of the bedroom to the character of the owner.
Color shades of the same intensity can be repeated in the wallpaper: an ideal variant with a tonal combination of pastel and muted shades. In order to avoid visual irritation in the quietest room at home, add monophonic to the wallpaper with a pattern (you can textured). In the bedroom can be combined not two, but even three types of wallpaper, but it is more difficult.
In this case, you definitely need to take companions or wallpaper from the same collection, which a priori can be consonant.
What should be considered when choosing?
When selecting wallpaper, many factors are taken into account: the sun or the north side is considered, how large the bedroom is (whether you need to choose wallpaper that visually expands the space), and so on. But sometimes the main thing - just do not violate such rules as:
- cold and light shades make a small room more spacious, and dark and very colorful wallpaper will further reduce the bedroom;
- in the hot bedroom do not buy wallpaper colors of fire, associated with heat, but pale blue and aquamarine wallpapers with a smooth shiny surface will only be the way to in such a bedroom;
- if the wall is narrow, then the vertical strip narrows it even more (visually, of course);
- if the wall is not the most even, then smooth monophonic wallpaper (wallpaper for painting) will not be able to mask the irregularities - but the wallpaper with a diagonal print copes well with masking, like some types of liquid wallpaper;
- to increase the ceiling, use wallpaper with a vertical pattern, which visually draws the walls; just do not glue them to full height, leave a small area that is painted to match the ceiling surface.
Do not be afraid to experiment, for example, in the fashion of today paintings from wallpaper sections, which can decorate the headboard.
The more creative, individual and unexpected, but within the boundaries of good taste and artistic rules, the more interesting your bedroom. And the more it is yours - unique, special and cozy.
