From the choice of colors depends on the perception of the living room. In typical apartments, rooms are often very small, so it is better to use mostly light colors in the decoration of the walls and not overload them with a large ornament. Bright finish and stripes visually expand the space. At the same time, dark tones will help to make too large a room warmer and more comfortable, visually reducing it.

Horizontal stripes expand the space and bright colors make it fresher and easier.

Important! Dark colors can be used as accent in rooms of irregular shape. If the end walls are made darker than the long walls, this will visually make the room shorter.

To make the interior of the living room not look too pale and boring, you can dilute it with a couple of colors or use bright accents. It is important to remember that the wallpaper should be combined either by type or by texture. If you plan to use different ornaments, the background should be the same color and vice versa - one pattern on the wallpaper of different shades. Contrast combinations look good, they give the interior dynamics and brightness. The combination of wallpaper two or more colors in the living room can be viewed on the photo.

Types of combination

With the help of competent combination trellis with each other and other materials, you can create a unique interior. This finish is not only able to visually brighten up the shortcomings of the room, but it is also beneficial to emphasize the theme of the interior of the living room and the taste of the owners of the house. Wallpapers can be combined not only by color, texture or patterns, but also combined with other finishing materials - plaster, stucco, wood.

Vertical

The use of vertical stripes is an old technique with which you can visually extend the space and raise the ceiling. It is easy to glue strips of different colors one after another, especially if these are companion shades. Difficulties may occur with a combination of contrasting colors. Contrast stripes cut the eye and in large quantities such decor should not be used. Stripes can be the same shade, but have different textures.

Stripes of wallpaper that are different in color or texture should not be glued to the wall as they should, certain proportions should be used for harmonious combination. So, if you use companion shades, for example, herbal green and light green, the combination of 2 to 1 will look most harmonious when a strip of one shade alternates with two strips of another. Contrast wallpaper will look more advantageous if they are applied the same pattern.

Tip! A combination of vertical stripes of different shades, but with the same pattern, will look appropriate if the area with the pattern is not too large. It is enough to paste over in this way only one of the walls or its part, otherwise the similar interior of the living room will look tasteless.

Horizontal

In contrast to vertical combination, horizontal is somewhat more difficult. At the same time for a similar decoration of the living room walls, you can complement the wallpaper with other finishing materials, for example, wood panels or MDF panels. This combination will fit well into classic interiors, especially in English and Victorian styles.

With the help of a combination of different textures and materials, specific details can be distinguished in the living room setting, furniture looks especially beneficial against such a background. It should be borne in mind that the horizontal stripes will make the room slightly lower visually, but they can expand the living room.

Patchwork

This is the most creative option of combining wallpaper on the walls in the living room. With the help of contrasting in color wallpaper, you can select any interior details - furniture, window and doorways, niches, projections. However, this finishing option requires a competent approach and impeccable taste, otherwise the interior risks turning into a ridiculous cartoon. Such a technique is appropriate in modern styles, such as pop art or modern.

As for the previous types of combination, the same rules work for patchwork panels. Wallpapers should be in harmony in color with each other and be combined with the rest of the interior. Finishing can be selected for furniture, specific accessories, textiles or choose neutral colors that are in harmony with any shades and styles.

Patchwork decoration of the living room walls with proper selection of colors and textures looks stylish and beautiful. In the photo below you can see the options for the combined wallpaper in the finishing of the wall in patchwork technique.

Separate room and zoning

If you decide to merge rooms into one or, conversely, divide the living room into zones, this simple method will help you to delimit the space. Partitions may look too bulky in the interior, so you can use different wallpaper to zone the room.

Each of the rooms or zones can be pasted over with different color and texture of wallpaper, but even then you should be careful. Try to choose colors similar in spectrum, so the interior will look more harmonious.

If the colors are too different and are not very compatible with each other, you can correct the situation with the help of curtains, carpets, and bedspreads. Shades of textiles or furniture upholstery in one room should overlap with the color of the walls of another.

Inserts

Decorative inserts of bright beautiful wallpaper diversify any interior. It is not always possible to purchase wallpaper with very interesting ornaments and a rich palette of colors. In this situation, there is a solution - buy one roll and use it as a decor against the background of more neutral decorated living room walls. Inserts can serve not only the usual wallpaper, but also wallpaper, fabric, murals.

If you plan to diversify the interior of the living room with bright inserts, the first thing to do is to take care of a suitable background for them. You can use paint, plaster, plain wallpaper to decorate the walls. The inserts themselves should be more dense than the background material used in the decoration of the living room walls.

Important! The inserts will look brighter and brighter if you additionally highlight them with slats, molding or stucco.

With the help of large inserts you can divide the living room into several zones. Inserts of wallpaper and other materials can decorate not only the walls, but also the ceiling. Often such a decorative element is located in the center of the ceiling. However, it should be borne in mind that such decor visually reduces the height of the room. How it will look combination of wallpaper with inserts in the interior of the living room can be seen in the photo below.
