the similar meaning of the drawings is the exception of dissonance.

Budget approach

Applying this approach to wallpaper, planning the interior of your living room on your own is quite easy. It is permissible to choose neutral species that are much cheaper than expressive competitors.

The walls are assigned a supporting role, they perform the function of reinforcement, and the general concept of the interior focuses on other components:

The furniture sets the tone - all volumetric objects come to the fore, and a calm background will only emphasize the situation.
The living room is such an eloquent and characteristic room that the main meaning can be decorated.

Stylish load

You can go the other way, when the given style is not just emphasized by the decoration of the walls, but is even enhanced. All the variety of wallpapers aimed at this: to help not only color, but also ornament, texture.

If the character is expressed in a pattern, then the same can be used in other components to complete the image:

monogram is a classic;
floral print - vintage, English;
small flower, floral motifs - Provence, retro.

It is necessary to observe the utmost caution when making floral, vegetable motifs: they love space, not overloaded with furniture, otherwise the room will turn into chaos. If floral motifs are used, the furniture should be calm, for example, white, with delicate forms.

Color solution

Among the variety of design solutions for the main room of the house, there are styles that are popular and easily expressed by the colors of the trellis:

Classic. Inherently no more than two basic tones for combination: beige, brown, burgundy, gray. Perhaps the printing, separation of baguette, borders, braids.
Modern The strict geometry is complemented by embossing, pastel, gray gamma prevails.
Retro. Only warm gamma: beige-gray, terracotta in textile wallpaper.
Ethno. Animalistic prints are permissible here, but the basic colors are natural.
Minimalism. Natural materials, including achromatic colors - gray, white, black.

Favorite monochrome

In general, the use of three achromatic colors in the interior of the hall is a stylish move, which is confirmed by the photos of such options. The balance of white and gray supports black, changing the perception of the room. And on the background of gray wallpaper any bright accent color is enhanced. Even an active drawing made in this color will not cause fatigue.

Such a project is easy to implement independently, without fear of being mistaken with the compatibility of colors that fill the room. Dark gray wallpapers make it possible to embody popular styles, and the texture of the wallpaper becomes the basis for expression: for hi-tech, loft, they are different.

Living room with black walls has the right to exist. It does not cause negative reactions in Western interiors, and any person deprived of stereotypes will also like it. Properly thought-out lighting, adding white will extend such a solution to a new level. Various photos of such experiments demonstrate a completely different result - from the expected brutal to glamorous cocktail chic. And the canvas is not necessarily with metallized sputtering, embossed: there are samples of the satin texture fashionable in the season.

Popularity acquires a white color for wall decoration. Light wallpaper in the living room is always a maximum of space, even if the furniture is dark. If such a solution is unacceptable, structural wallpaper for painting will allow to beat the color nuances, make a thin tinting for a monochrome interior. Choosing a common single color for the whole room, building the interior on a thin monochrome game, you manage to give a calm, relaxing look, but this solution may seem boring. Then a noticeable wall comes to the rescue.

Accent wall

The value of the accent wall is difficult to overestimate, so this technique for the living room is half the time of all the decisions. A relatively small area of coverage allows even budget repairs to allow a little more, using material from an expensive collection.

It is not necessary to turn the entire wall entirely into an accent, especially a long one. It is enough to select a significant center - a fireplace or a sofa.

This is an unmistakable way to tie surface finishes, furniture, and décor together. And this is done due to the color, pattern and visual texture:

Marble. Common texture in this year's fashion collections. Very fundamental to the living room, but natural at the same time. This wall is perfectly combined with wood, metal, brass, bronze, glass - a unique interior, based on a dialogue of seemingly opposing materials. To help the collection of textiles, upholstery for furniture with expressive marble streaks and amazing stone pattern, not at all variegated, but very noticeable.
Textile wallpaper. It's just a huge field of activity for the expression of a variety of styles from Japanese to Victorian: jute, flax, hemp, velor, velvet, tweed.
Linkrust This is a special wallpaper, about which they say "classics of the genre." The possibility of coloring and long-term operation is somewhat reconciled with its "royal" value. But nothing can so exquisitely present antiquity, aristocracy.
Metallized. Gold, steel, copper luster, sometimes enclosed in a complex pattern, can literally make the interior of the hall shine.

If you want the living room to make an unforgettable impression, to emphasize a portion of the vertical surface, use another strong technique - photo wallpaper.

Incredible transfiguration

Modern technology has brought a new level of wallpaper to the new level: now it is one of the easiest, budget ways to demonstrate "ideological flight".

The most popular are such species:

Industrial urban landscapes, a map of the area, the world, other urban motifs - express the extraordinary views of the owners, their cosmopolitan (image of New York).
Monochrome images of attractions in the style of minimalism, Scandinavian (Eiffel Tower).
Imitation of library shelving with books is optimal for a living room with high ceilings and impressive window openings.
Large detailed images of flowers, vegetation.

But everything is well dosed, it is very potent techniques. It is necessary to provide the risk of fatigue from such a bright addition, and the possibility of replacing it with another drawing.
And there is also a wallpaper: 3D or with a glow in the evening; even wooden wallpaper - differ from good-quality panels only lower cost. But if you want something checked, then turn to the strip.

Strip and Combination

A strip is in any case not boring, even if it is two-color or gradient. An excellent incentive to show creative imagination, coming up with a bold design of the hall.

Possessing an important functional in changing the space for the better, it will take root in many styles, even such opposite:

Retro style. Calm, wide lines, bright natural colors. The additional drawing built in a strip, an ornament, will emphasize identity of a drawing room.
Minimalism. A more active, expressive strip of different widths with a more saturated color scheme will give dynamics and accentuate black furniture.

The more contrast the strip in width and color, the more it reduces the area.

It is possible to paste over the entire room with such wallpaper, when the strip is unobtrusive or even conditional, just in the form of an ornament. Thin blotches of white lines will benefit.

The strip is a great way to use a combination with a single-color, smooth wallpaper for the living room. Receptions:

exact color match;
neutral combination;
color harmony.

Combining wallpaper is a powerful technique, and for the living room it is often made horizontal. This can be traced in many classical styles, and often wallpaper interact not only with each other, but also with other materials. When the lower part of the wall (about a third) is upholstered with wooden panels, and the upper part is textile, dense wallpaper, a cozy, high-quality setting of the classical style, for example, English, is immediately represented.

The main requirements for each are different, and not every type of trellis is able to carry them out simultaneously.

View	Wear resistance, care	Budget	Expressiveness	Environmental friendliness	Possibility of staining
Paper	-	+	-	+	-
Textile	-	-	+	+	-
Wall mural	-	+/-	+	+/-	-
Flizelinovye	+	+/-	+	-	+/-
Vinyl	+	+/-	+	-	-
Fiberglass	+	-	-	+	+
Bamboo	+	-	+	+	-

For the living room in the first place goes aesthetic appeal and comfort. The walls are not subjected to harsh operation, however, to preserve the original appearance of the interior as long as possible - an urgent task. Dust can ruin especially not practical types of wallpaper: light ones are particularly affected. For families with children, those modifications that will allow cleaning, for example, a greasy stain, will be relevant.

Equally important is the location of the living room. If the window goes to the south, west side, then the chances of preserving the original color are not great, if you bet on the wrong roll. The special marking badge with the image of the sun (or its half) specifies the choice.

The sun's rays are especially merciless:

paper;
vinyl;
textile.

It is necessary to focus on high-quality sticking of wallpaper in the characteristic area of the living room - the fireplace.

But a special line is environmental friendliness, natural material. Now manufacturers offer successful imitations of any surfaces, from leather to bamboo, you can easily choose wallpaper from any price segment. But the material itself will be of "plastic" origin.
