Then carefully trim a small section of the wallpaper, leaving a small overlap. It can be neatly tucked under the housing of sockets or switches. Once you have dealt with this, you can safely screw on the fasteners.

Combination

The popularity of this method of pasting walls, such as combination, is becoming more and more popular:

• First of all, it's fashionable now.
• Secondly, you can cover one room with different types of wallpaper in case you don’t decide on one color.
• Thirdly, you can divide the space into several zones.

Nowadays, many people connect the living room with the dining area. The zoning of the room is very important here. By combining different wallpapers, you can separate the kitchen from the living room or the living room from the bedroom if one room is used both as a bedroom and as a meeting place for guests.

A fairly popular option for decorating the surface of walls in a room is to combine two types of wallpaper. This design allows you to correct existing surface imperfections or highlight the main areas. This modern way make any room stylish and modern. The article will discuss options for gluing two types of wallpaper and give recommendations on how to carry out this work yourself.

Since combining wallpaper implies a combination of not only the color of the canvas, but also textures, this process has its own rules that must be followed when working.

Ceiling height

This indicator greatly helps you decide on wallpaper. If the ceilings are no higher than 2.5 meters, then light-colored canvases with small patterns and a slight texture are suitable for such a room. If the ceilings are too low in height, then decorating them with light wallpaper with a dim pattern or vertical stripes can help to visually raise them. You can also alternately place canvases of different colors close to each other on the walls.

Rooms with a height of more than 3 meters require wall decoration according to a different principle. IN in this case a contrasting large pattern located in a horizontal plane is required. Also in this case, dividing the walls in a horizontal plane with wallpaper with different designs, patterns or textures will look good. But to make it look modern, you will have to try very hard with the choice, since this interior is classic.

Room area

In addition to the height of the ceilings, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the room when choosing wallpaper for it. If the room is spacious, then you can use deep dark shades in the design to visually make the interior more comfortable. If plain wallpaper does not suit the owner’s mood, then you can choose similar ones, but with a pattern. As a rule, dark canvases with light abstract, geometric or floral patterns are most often used.

For small rooms this rule does not apply. Here, on the contrary, you need light wallpaper with a small pattern that is not very pronounced.

It is very important to look at the geometry of the room. In the case of a narrow room, which is very long, it is worth pasting with dark and light wallpaper. So, light-colored canvases are laid on short walls so that part of them extends onto the long wall. This way you can get visual alignment of the geometry.

If the entrance to the room is located on a long wall, then the surface parallel to it is covered with wallpaper of a contrasting color with the condition that the edges of this wall will be decorated with the same canvases as the rest of the room. This way the room will not seem too long.

Texture and color of wallpaper

If you decide to wallpaper a room with two types of wallpaper, then you should be very careful when choosing the texture and thickness of the wallpaper. When combined, panels that are similar to each other will look best so that transitions are not noticeable. If joining is planned only in the corners, then it is not necessary to pay attention to the texture.

In the case of gluing wallpaper of different types, the appropriate glue is selected for each type. If you don’t want to purchase several formulations, then you can buy one universal one.

In the case of a room that is located on the south side and is constantly flooded sunlight, no need to make it completely dark. You can use deep shades of wallpaper on the wall that is parallel to the window, and cover the rest with light shades. This way the room will not be too monotonous, and the dark color will not put pressure on the psyche of the person inside.

This technique can also be applied in a room on the north side. Here it is worth covering the wall opposite the window with light wallpaper. In this case, the room will look brighter.

Wallpaper layout options

Designers offer a huge number of layout options for two types of wallpaper, and several techniques can be used in one room at once. In order to harmoniously emphasize the advantages of the room and hide the shortcomings, you need to clearly understand what needs to be achieved in the end.

Vertical combination

Everyone has long known that vertical stripes visually increase the height of the ceiling. Moreover, it is not necessary to use only striped wallpaper. So one wall or part of it can be made in a striped design, and the remaining areas are covered with canvases without or with a dim pattern.

The stripes can be completely different. This includes differences in color or pattern.

Important! The texture of the wallpaper with such a combination must be identical.

Since manufacturers now offer collections of wallpaper companions, it is not at all difficult to choose canvases of the same texture. They will be combined with each other as correctly as possible, harmonizing in color or design.

There is a technique in vertical combination that allows you to visually increase the height of the ceiling using two types of wallpaper. To implement this option, you need to continue gluing the canvas pasted on the wall to the ceiling. In this case, the border will be erased, and the room will become visually higher.

For a better understanding of how to perform a vertical combination, special schemes have been created that will work flawlessly with any shade of canvas. Many designers work using these examples, and every time they succeed excellent result.

Horizontal combination

As previously mentioned, horizontal combining refers to classic options decoration of premises. This technique has been used for a long time, but with the modern range of colors and textures, it has acquired a new meaning. Most often, a horizontal combination of wallpaper is used in small rooms with high ceilings.

If there is no need to glue several canvases at once on top and bottom, then you can zone the surface of the walls with a horizontal strip, which is usually done at the level of the window sill, but can be located lower or higher.

To decorate a corridor or hallway, the strip can be placed directly at eye level, which also looks very good.

The division is also made from above. Usually the upper section is decorated light color, and the bottom one is dark, but it’s quite possible this rule and disrupt.

Traditional ways of creating horizontal divisions include the following:

• 1/3 of the lower part of the wall is covered with striped wallpaper, and the rest of the surface on top is covered with plain canvases harmonizing in shade.
• 1/3 of the bottom is covered with wallpaper in a small pattern, and the rest of the wall with canvases with a large image.
• 2/3 of the bottom of the wall is in a large pattern, and the rest is plain.

Creating room zoning

Several colors of wallpaper in one room are often used to decorate functional areas. This can often be found in studio apartments. The same design is also used for children's rooms, when it is necessary to separate the recreation area from the work area or several children of different sexes are accommodated in the room.

Typically, this design involves joining only in the corners, so that the joints are invisible and there is no need to decorate them with moldings.

Making decorative inserts

In those days when wallpaper was made only from fabric and was expensive, people who did not have enough money for it took pieces and framed them on the wall. Since then, the design of wallpaper in the form of panels began.

Today this design is typical classic interiors, where on the walls in frames you can see embossed wallpaper or those canvases made using the silk-screen printing technique.

If possible, the wallpaper elements are decorated with a frame made of molding. This design will look beautiful in classic style, as well as country and Provence interiors. This panel can decorate a living room or bedroom in the Art Nouveau style. But in this case, the frame is made of the same wallpaper as the main part.

Advice! If there is a niche in the room, then you can paste another version of wallpaper inside it, which will be in harmony with the main background. The result will be a kind of panel.

Accenting

On at the moment There are several principles for using this technique. The first involves distraction from some detail that does not look good in the room. This, for example, could be uneven walls. To prevent your gaze from falling on this flaw when entering the room, opposite wall stands out with wallpaper of a different color with or without a pattern. It is very important that the pasted surface attracts attention.

The second option is to highlight an important place in the room. In the bedroom there is a bed, in the kitchen there is a working or dining area. Each room may have its own item that needs to be emphasized. Partially, this design is also considered zoning.

Typically, accents are created by vertically positioned canvases, but in rooms with high ceilings, you can use a horizontal accent option. Often there are protrusions in the premises, which they mainly try to disguise. But it is not necessary to do this, since by highlighting this element, you can get a highlight that will be characteristic only of this interior.

Wallpaper can have different colors, textures and patterns, and the future result of the work can be assessed in advance by rolling out two rolls on the wall next to each other.

Types of combined wall decoration with wallpaper

The combination of two types of wallpaper on the wall can be vertical, horizontal, inset and patchwork. The option of vertical division of wallpaper is perfect, for example, for the living room. For it, a material is often selected that has different patterns and colors, but the same width, texture and, most importantly, thickness. Design solutions can use a contrasting option with different colors or a monochrome one, which involves covering the walls with wallpaper of similar shades.

When dividing horizontally, you can combine wallpaper of different thicknesses. For example, make the lower part of the wall in relief, and paste over its top with lighter colors textile wallpaper. In such cases, the joint between different types of wallpaper is covered with a decorative border.

Wallpaper inserts are designed to emphasize a specific area in the room, for example, you can paste over a corner in a nursery with one color of wallpaper.

A patchwork wallpaper combination involves using one background, but different designs. This pasting begins with scraps, and the main color is adjusted to them.

Advantages of decorating walls with two types of wallpaper

Using the above-described types of wallpapering the two types of wallpaper, you can obtain different room design effects.

Vertical stripes of wallpaper visually enlarge the room. If it has high ceilings, which is primarily typical for the private sector and Stalinist apartments, you can divide the walls with wallpaper in a horizontal direction so that the level of the structures is not too noticeable, especially in the presence of low furniture.

A visual increase in the space of a room can be achieved by pasting its corners with a darker material compared to the general background.

In addition, this design is quite economical. Often, many stores have sales of leftover material at discounted prices. Therefore, the combined gluing process can reduce the final cost of repairs without compromising its quality.

Selection of two types of wallpaper for wall decoration

Before purchasing wallpaper, you should calculate the quantity and plan possible options combining paintings on the walls. First of all, you should take into account the characteristics of the room: is it cold or warm, large or small, light or dark. When using options for combining wallpaper for wall decoration, you must comply certain rules. They take into account the height of the ceilings, lighting and dimensions of the room, as well as the texture of the material. Let's take a closer look at them.

Ceiling height

This room parameter influences the choice of wallpaper pattern, and also largely determines its color and texture. When the height of the room is less than 2.5 m, canvases of soft texture and light colors are used. You can visually raise the ceilings by combining a basic light background with a faint pattern or texture and vertical stripes in the form of canvases of a different color, which can be located on two or three walls.

Ceilings higher than three meters require a completely different approach. Here the canvases should have a large pattern stretched across the width. You can divide the walls horizontally, using different colors of wallpaper to cover the lower and upper parts of the structures. This technique is considered classic; in order for such a design to look decent, you should try very hard when choosing patterns and shades of canvases.

Room dimensions

Indoors large areas Walls can be covered with wallpaper in dark shades, which visually reduce the space. If dark plain walls are undesirable, you can choose wallpaper with a large light pattern with a floral theme, geometric shapes or abstraction.

IN small spaces the opposite is true: light colors are used. Wallpaper is selected with a medium-sized texture and a small pattern that is not clearly expressed.

The geometric shape of the room for covering walls with two types of wallpaper also has great value. In a long and narrow room, lighter wallpaper should be pasted onto short walls, and some of it should be placed around the corner. In this case, the difference in the size of the room will not be so noticeable.

There is another method used if the entrance to narrow room located in one of its long walls. In this case, the middle part of the opposite wall is highlighted with wallpaper of a different color, and the corners are covered with canvases intended for the short sides of the room.

Selection of texture

Combined wallpapering requires a careful approach to selecting the thickness of the material and its texture. It is recommended to use fabrics of the same type in combinations. When they are joined at an angle, the texture and thickness of the wallpaper special attention you can ignore it. But if the connection of the canvases occurs on common wall, then the transition will be emphasized by the difference in their thickness.

If you still decide to glue wallpaper different types, then for this you should use the glue that suits them. For example, non-woven wallpaper is glued using one composition, and paper wallpaper - using another. A way out of this situation may be to purchase universal glue; it is available for sale.

Room lighting

If the room is light or its interior seems too monotonous, it is not at all necessary to glue dark wallpaper absolutely on all the walls. One of them, located opposite the window, can be darkened a little, and the rest left light. As a result, there will be no oppressive atmosphere created by a dark background, and the light will not become so intrusive.

This technique can also work in reverse. For a dark room, it is enough to stick light wallpaper on the wall opposite the window. It will be much lighter.

The design style of the room must be chosen based on its functional purpose. Only after this can you select the colors of the wallpaper and decide on the method of decorating the walls with two types of wallpaper.

The combined canvases must be in harmony with the interior and furniture of the room. Selection of wallpapers for the best combination It is recommended to do this when purchasing them. To do this, you just need to attach the canvases to each other and determine their suitability for the intended wall design.

If you have some wallpaper in rolls at home and you need to select a pair for them, for example, for patches or inserts, then you should take a piece of the canvas with you to the store for a sample.

Wallpapers of the same texture, but different colors are most often combined with each other. Combinations of plain materials with a pattern from the same collection are also popular. In addition, combinations of canvases differing in texture and color are possible.

Options for covering walls with two types of wallpaper

There are several techniques for combining wallpaper on walls that can be used in both pure form, and in all sorts of variations. It is important to have a good idea of ​​the desired effect.

Vertical finishing

Vertical stripes that visually increase the height of a room are not necessarily located in in the right order. One wall may have striped wallpaper, while the rest may have color or a subtle pattern. But such a decision is not always made. Vertical stripes can also be distributed across different walls, and they can be duplicated at a constant interval.

Stripes may vary in pattern and color. This combination requires the same wallpaper texture. In this case, it is most convenient to use one collection of products. It can have 2-3 plain backgrounds and various options drawings. It is very difficult to arrange wallpapers of different textures.

There is an interesting technique of vertical combination that allows you to visually increase the height of the room: one of the strips is placed on the ceiling, the transition boundary becomes fuzzy, which gives the feeling of increasing space.

Horizontal pasting

This technique is a design classic. It has been used for a long time, but with today’s variety of textures and colors of wallpaper, it has acquired a completely new quality. Horizontal division often used in small rooms with high ceilings.

It can be a horizontal strip encircling the room, which is often located at the height of the window sills. In addition, such a strip is carried out in cases where the plane needs to be divided into three parts, and the border can be in the upper or lower third of the wall.

There are violations of this rule: sometimes the stripe is made at eye level and decorated decorative elements. This technique is often used when decorating hallways and corridors.

The division zone may be upper. Bottom part walls are traditionally decorated in dark tones, and upper part- light.

Zoning of premises

Canvases of different colors, pasted on the walls of one room, can conditionally divide it into functional zones, for example, relaxation and dining.

A similar principle applies in the children's room. Here, gluing the walls with two types of wallpaper can serve to divide the room into zones for games, a table or a bed.

With this combination of wallpaper, the use of canvases of different textures is allowed, but separating their sections with moldings is almost never used. They try to make the joints in the corners of the room or select wallpaper in such a way that the joints are not particularly noticeable.

Wallpaper in the form of panels

These types of wallpaper have existed for a very long time. Once upon a time, this material was made only from fabric, framed, was incredibly expensive and was available to rich people. From that time to this day, such interior design has become classic. Embossed wallpaper, textured wallpaper and silk-screen printing are now used for inserts.

If the style of the room allows, wallpaper elements of a different color are placed in a frame made from molding. This design fits well into classic, country or Provence styles.

In the modern Art Nouveau style, a similar panel can also be made. The frame in this case is made of material cut from wallpaper.

Another option is to cover the wall in a niche. In this case, the selection of texture and pattern is made according to style, and the wallpaper is used from the same collection.

The selection of wallpaper can be carried out by a professional decorator, using his experience or flair. It is much more difficult for amateurs to do this.

Highlighting sections of walls with wallpaper

This technique uses color accents material, it is applied according to two principles. One of them is designed to distract attention from an unsightly element of the interior, for example, crooked walls. To prevent such a defect from being noticeable, the opposite wall is covered with canvases of a different color so that they immediately attract the eye.

Another technique involves highlighting the location of any interior item. In bedrooms this is usually the bed or the opposite wall. In kitchens, a table is often allocated, thus designating the eating area. This can be partly called zoning, partly accent.

Ordinary apartments do not have high ceilings, so the emphasis on their walls can be expressed by a vertical stripe. IN high room accentuation can be done with a horizontal wide strip or any part of the wall.

Some rooms have niches or various wall projections, which owners often try to disguise. But you shouldn't do this. If you highlight such areas with wallpaper of a completely different color, you can get an excellent design that will give the room individuality.

With the help of skillful combination and use of many contrasts of wallpaper, you can easily play up the flaws of any room in its geometry, ceiling height, size, and also divide the room into functional zones. Thanks to the huge range of wallpapers, create interesting design Your home is very pleasant and easy. Good luck!

The most important stage of repair is gluing the side surfaces. The appearance of the room depends on how the walls look. During the work, problems may arise that cannot be eliminated later. You can see photos of high-quality wallpapering of walls below.

Preparatory stage

Before you pick up a roller and a bucket of glue, you need to carry out a few simple manipulations. Exactly from right actions the further process of work depends. First you need to calculate the material consumption and prepare the walls before wallpapering.

Going to a hardware store

Before purchasing wallpaper, glue and other consumables, it is necessary to accurately calculate the area of ​​the walls of the room. For convenience, you can always use an online calculator. When calculating, it is necessary to take into account the fit of the canvases if they depict a pattern.

Buyers are often faced with choosing the type of wallpaper. Modern manufacturers offer: paper, non-woven and vinyl model range. They all differ in thickness, width of the panel, design and quality.

Wide non-woven wallpaper is in demand. They are easy to glue, they lie easily on the surface and have high wear resistance.

Preparing the walls

In order not to be disappointed with the final result, you need to clearly know how to prepare walls for pasting. To treat the surface you will need a spray bottle with water, a spatula, and unnecessary rags.

To remove the old layer of wallpaper, you need to spray it on it and wait until the canvas gets wet and begins to move away from the wall. To enhance the effect use warm water and soap solution.

Then the canvases begin to be torn off with a spatula or knife. If the wallpaper comes off well, you can remove it by hand.

Gaps, cracks and unevenness may be hidden behind old layers. They must be removed with putty. Then the walls are plastered and primed.

After this treatment, it is better to transfer the pasting to the next day so that the applied layers dry thoroughly.

In the case of decorating the walls with non-woven and vinyl wallpaper Plastering and priming are usually not carried out. The thickness of the canvas allows you to hide minor surface defects.

Pasting process

First you need to dilute the glue. For each type of wallpaper there are special means for pasting. It is necessary to gradually pour the contents of the package into warm water.

To prevent lumps from forming, you need to continuously stir the solution. After this, the glue should sit and thicken. The process takes approximately 15 minutes.

During this time, you can still cut the wallpaper. There are several ways to cut fabrics:

• using an angular ruler;
• bend (without tools).

A roll is spread on the floor front side down. One end of the canvas can be held by an assistant or it can be clamped with improvised means to avoid rolling the wallpaper back into a roll. The same is done on the other side of the cloth.

Then, knowing the height where the material is to be pasted, use a tape measure to measure the same length on the wallpaper. Moreover, it is advisable to add 5 cm to the value, just in case.

Using a right angle ruler, draw a line that should be perpendicular to the edges of the wallpaper. If there is no measuring tool at hand, the material is folded at the marking point so that the edges of the roll coincide.

A piece of wallpaper is cut with scissors along the fold line or along the drawn segment, onto which glue is then applied.

Methods of spreading canvases

If you have wallpaper made of paper, then glue solution Apply with a roller or brush to the wall and to the glued canvas. For non-woven and vinyl representatives, it is enough to apply glue only to a piece of wallpaper.

To ensure that the canvas is evenly saturated, it is folded into a book. First, the two edges are bent so that they meet approximately in the middle, and then the already bent edges are folded in half again.

Using this method, you can make two blanks. While one is soaked in glue, the second is glued to the wall.

Pasting is done from top to bottom. To do this, take a blank and stick one part. Then the second half of the canvas is carefully attached.

Using a dry cloth, the glued piece is ironed from the middle to the edges. This removes excess glue and unwanted bubbles on the wallpaper, which can be difficult to remove.

There may be untaped areas along the edges. They must be coated with glue using a small brush.

While one person is doing final works, the second - again prepares the next piece of wallpaper for gluing.

As you can see, hanging wallpaper with your own hands is not so difficult. Finally, I would like to give a few useful recommendations to facilitate the pasting process:

Thin paper wallpaper are glued overlapping. Other types of non-woven and vinyl are glued end-to-end.

Work should be done when daylight. It is advisable to turn off the electricity and remove all sockets and switches before gluing. The place for the connectors is cut out on the already glued wallpaper.

In the room being renovated, it is necessary to remove the baseboards.

You can't glue wallpaper with open windows. Drafts can lead to poor adhesion of glue and wallpaper. After gluing, the door to the room must be closed until the glue dries completely.
