Interior design features
Any interior design solution requires a competent approach to achieve a harmonious result. Correct use of color solves half of this problem.
- Orange color will look good in a room deprived of sunlight,
- In a small room, it is worth using a light shade of orange or combining it with other light coatings,
- Dark orange wallpaper is suitable for decorating a well-lit room,
- In a room with windows facing the south, orange is not the best option, the room will be too bright.
Types of wallpaper
Liquid
Wallpapers that differ from the usual type are a loose mixture that is diluted with water and applied to the walls like plaster. The result of the work is a smooth surface without joints. Visually, the coating looks like plaster and has a textured surface.

Photo wallpaper
Wallpaper with photo printing is an effective solution for interior decoration. Realistic or abstract images will emphasize the design features and make it brighter. In addition, photo wallpaper can help to increase the space, for this you need to use images with perspective.
Non-woven
Wallpaper can be divided into two types, those that are completely made of non-woven fabric and those that have a base made of this material. The first type is most often used for painting due to the relief surface. The second type has only a non-woven base, the top layer consists of another material: vinyl, paper or textile.
Vinyl
The material is a two-layer canvas. The top is a vinyl coating, the bottom is non-woven or paper. Vinyl coatings have a wide variety of colors and textures, and can also imitate other surfaces. The material is durable, long-lasting and moisture-resistant.
Paper
An environmentally friendly, inexpensive and beautiful material, but not the most practical. Paper sheets absorb odors well, can fade in the sun and do not have a durable coating. It is also almost impossible to clean paper wallpaper from dirt without damaging it.

Textile
A beautiful and expensive way of finishing. Textile wallpaper has a breathable surface, which minimizes the risk of mold and moisture accumulation. Also, the textile coating has high heat and sound insulation. The disadvantages of the material include the fact that they attract dust, with the exception of linen fabric, which is protected with antistatic impregnation.
Design and patterns
Monochrome
Smooth monochromatic walls of a beautiful shade will always be relevant. This design can be used in almost any style.
Monochrome wallpaper can have a smooth surface or an interesting relief pattern. In addition, single-color coatings combine well with other finishing options, such as stone or brickwork.
With flowers
A floral print will decorate the walls of any interior. The style of the image should reflect the overall design idea. It is better to decorate part of the room with a large floral pattern, for example, an accent wall, since a three-dimensional image can visually reduce the space.
