The use of white wallpaper in the interior of the apartment, house

Snow-white wallpaper is the only type of wall decoration or is originally combined with other materials - wood, stone, plastic, metal, glass. Beautifully look "unions" of two types of wallpaper with a different pattern - small and large, monochrome and color, as well as with sharply contrasting. The floor in the room with white walls becomes light, but always darker than the ceiling and walls.

A completely white interior is impractical, especially when there are many people living in an apartment with children, pets. You should be prepared to re-glue walls frequently.

In the hall

Here it is better to make snow-white walls that are well cleaned at least from below, since dust and dirt are brought from the street, especially in wet weather. One third of the floor of the wall is decorated with plastic panels, bleached oak and other wood. The rest is pasted wallpaper. High-quality washable materials stick from floor to ceiling or ceiling too. A popular design of the corridor is a pattern of white bricks, along which a green vine climbs; white-gray-yellow pebbles, as if lying in water; blue, brown boots and umbrellas on a creamy white background.

For a narrow corridor, a discreet paper ceiling design with stripes running perpendicular to its long walls is suitable - so the room will visually expand.

In the living room

A light laminate floor is put on the floor, sometimes the ceiling is pasted over. Three walls may not have a pattern at all, the fourth one will be decorated with wallpaper with the image of the morning city in pink and white colors, creamy green forest landscape, white and yellow butterflies, a bouquet of huge daisies, lilies, dahlias, tea roses, blooming apple trees. Black and white images of animals look interesting - polar bears, penguins, rabbits, cats, etc. Curtains are made with light elements or contrasting, and snow-white tulle. Contrasting borders around the perimeter of the ceiling diversify the interior. In the furnishings, plain draperies should not use excessively dark colors, especially when the walls are glossy - they reflect the color scheme, creating a feeling of "dirt".

A huge flat screen TV, a few pictures, pictures in frames, a realistic fireplace, look on a white background very colorful.

In the kitchen

Completely white kitchen means excessive time spent on cleaning it. Because the white wallpaper is made only dining area. Images of fruit, flowers, dishes, peas, and squares will be appropriate here. To give freshness to the interior, they use "frosty" designs, which are formed in the winter on the windows. The space of the kitchen apron, a place next to the sink, stove, is decorated with washable wallpaper or plastic panels. Light ceramic tiles are placed on the floor here, the set itself is made contrast. The dining table and chairs are transparent, which will add extra space to the cramped kitchenette.

A suitable glue is selected depending on the material used to make the wallpaper, sometimes several types are combined - for the middle, edges.

In the bedroom

In the standard design of the bedroom, everything is pasted over with white, the wall at the headboard - with contrasting wallpapers, photo wallpapers. The drawings are duplicated on other objects, elements - curtains, bedspread, furniture upholstery, which are made in any suitable color. The furniture here is preferred light, if there are other color accents. Or a contrast is allowed - then the walls will become just the background. The ceiling here is also covered with wallpaper, but completely white or with a pattern different from the one that will be on the walls. Bright lace ceiling on bedside lamps will make the interior complete.

If you paste on the white walls of contrasting inserts of pieces of a different color, you get a kind of picture.

In the nursery

For the room girls fit wallpaper with white and pink princesses, fairies, flying ponies, flower scenes. All this is combined with lace on the bedding, curtains, canopy over the bed. The boy will enjoy the white-and-blue nautical theme - sailboats, anchors, foam on the crests of the waves, blue-and-white draperies-vests.

A teenager of any gender may prefer a combination with violet-black, dark brown, dark blue-gray. This phenomenon is temporary, and the wallpaper, especially simple, paper, is easy to re-paste at any time, completely renovating the interior.

For the smallest, natural materials and drawings of pastel shades are used, since sharp contrasts can frighten a baby. Images of the characters of developing cartoons, the first children's fairy tales will fall just in time.

In no case should the design of a nursery be associated with a hospital, white dressing gowns of doctors - this is an extra negative for a child.

The variety of patterns, textures of materials, combinations with other materials allows you to choose them for any interior.
