Photo wallpaper in an apartment interior
In the past, the word "photo wallpaper" brought to mind unnaturally white birch trees and petrified swans, overlapping each other as a result of clumsy gluing. It was with such "beauties" that village houses greeted you, where they tried to hide the flaws of the walls with cheap sheets of paper that glared in the light.
Thirty years ago, in the era of universal shortage, citizens snapped up everything called photo wallpaper and pasted these wondrous pictures everywhere, not in the least worried about the overall aesthetics of the home.
They are back
After the boom of wallpaper tastelessness, photo wallpaper sank into oblivion for a while and emerged from the shadows quite recently. They returned from the past in an updated form. Decades later, designers remembered such a simple way to decorate an interior and fully rehabilitated photo wallpaper.
Modern photo wallpaper has nothing in common with the masterpieces of the past: it is realistic, often executed in 3D format, creating the effect of being present in the jungle or on the roof of a Manhattan skyscraper, made of high-quality eco-friendly materials, and is a powerful design technique in arranging a home.
Advantages and features of photo wallpaper
It suddenly turned out that photo wallpaper has a host of merits.
It can feature a completely exclusive image that no one else has. It has become fashionable not just to sell photo wallpaper, but to make exclusive custom versions according to the client's wishes and the individual dimensions of the room.
Photo wallpaper with a dense texture hides wall unevenness and can be glued onto imperfect surfaces. Modern photo wallpaper is moisture-resistant and meets fire safety requirements. It has a roll cut and is glued without seams.
There is always the possibility of custom-making photo wallpaper of complex patterns for tricky areas of a room. With photo wallpaper, all the shortcomings of a room can be turned into its advantages.
Managing space and zoning
Expanding space can be achieved not only with the help of color and secret techniques from the designers' arsenal. The skillful use of photo wallpaper makes it possible to visually manage space. The image on photo wallpaper successfully fitted into an interior easily adds the missing space to a room.
Any unused areas found in a room can be diversified with an individual picture on an original textured base. Photo wallpaper is used to play up technological openings and to decorate attics.
Because of their ability to enlarge space, photo wallpaper is recommended for use in small apartments and studio apartments. For a studio apartment, photo wallpaper is the best solution, since it must definitely be divided into zones.
With the help of photo wallpaper, you can easily handle the task of zoning the space in a room. Using photo wallpaper on the ceiling is another original way to highlight a relaxation area or a work area.
Texture of photo wallpaper
Quality photo wallpaper is made using a European paper base with a vinyl coating and eco-friendly Japanese paints. Catalogs of ready-made wallpaper contain thousands of subjects on various themes that will fit into the interior of any room. All that remains is to choose the texture wisely.
When choosing the texture of photo wallpaper, you should consider the image itself and the overall style of the interior. There are 14 varieties of photo wallpaper texture, each of which suits a particular style and combines with one or another type of pattern.
Decorative plaster. Photo wallpaper with such a texture imitates painting directly on the wall. This is one of the most common textures because of its versatility: it conveys a wide variety of subjects and fits into any interior.
Coarse sand. This is a matte texture, ideally suited for architectural landscapes. It goes superbly with the loft style.
Sand is good for art nouveau. It conveys colors very delicately, turning their tones into pastel ones.
Plaster. Such a heterogeneous coarse texture is good for vintage photos and antique frescoes.
Imitation artist's canvas joins perfectly and fits into different interior styles - from classic to minimalism.
Smooth is a texture with a gloss, without embossing. When gluing, the seams may be noticeable - it's better to use it for panoramas and whole sheets.
Painting emphasizes pictorial images, as it imitates oil painting. It combines with classic interiors.
Linen should be combined with wood, bamboo wallpaper, and coarse textiles. Such a texture suits ethnic, art deco, avant-garde, and Japanese styles.
Frost gives a matte image thanks to fine fibers. It is ideal in combination with calm, muted colors.
Tree bark suits wood, ethnic, avant-garde, and art deco.
Roof tiles combine with loft, art deco, and high-tech styles.
