Many owners who do repairs themselves believe that it is very easy to choose wallpaper. But this is not so at all. To choose the right wallpaper in Kyiv, you need to consider many factors. Details can be read on the store's website.
Condition of surfaces. If the surface of the walls has irregularities, then wallpaper of a small thickness will not be suitable for their decoration, as well as those that have horizontal stripes in the pattern, as this will emphasize all the defects even more. For such walls, you need to choose thick embossed or colored wallpaper, the bright color of the patterns will mask the irregularities.
The shape of the room. For rooms of non-standard shapes, as well as for those that have all kinds of recesses such as niches, there is no need to purchase wallpaper with large regular patterns or bright catchy colors. It is most appropriate to choose a wallpaper with a pleasant small pattern.
Term of use. Wallpaper that is not afraid of cleaning and washing is best suited for the children's room, kitchen and corridor. In the nursery, children can get dirty, in the kitchen they can be splashed with oil or something else, in the corridor, the wallpaper can get dirty due to the high traffic of the room, so this type of wallpaper is the best solution.
The color of the wallpaper is also important. It has long been known that bright juicy colors give energy and cheerfulness, while pastel and cream colors are calm and balanced. But bright wallpapers are not suitable for everyone, because many people quickly get tired of them, so they have to repaint the room.
How to mask room defects with the help of wallpaper
To make the room seem higher, you need to stick wallpaper with vertical patterns. If the room has high ceilings, then wallpaper with large images or patterns is selected for the walls. If you want to visually expand the room, then you need to stick wallpaper with horizontal stripes on the walls. If the owners like variety and change the design of the walls quite often, then you can use paper wallpapers, they are easily removed from the surface of the walls. If there will be paintings, photographs or a small decorative carpet hanging on the wall, plain or very small patterned wallpaper should be pasted under them.
It is worth paying attention to the types of wallpaper themselves, their properties and characteristics.
Paper wallpaper. The biggest advantages are their ecological safety and low price. They are easy to stick on, look good, and with proper care can last for several years.
