How do we choose wallpaper for the bedroom?

Wallpaper is a very convenient choice for decorating the walls in the bedroom. A wide variety of patterns and textures allows you to use them in any interior style, to create interesting combinations and unusual visual effects.

How to choose the right wallpaper for the bedroom will be detailed in this article.

You can find all types of wallpaper at Malldeco in a wide variety of colors and designs for all tastes.

Types of wallpaper for the bedroom

Paper wallpaper

The wallpaper made of ordinary paper, glossy or matte, can be in one layer - simplex, as well as in two layers - duplex. The former are cheaper, the latter are more durable.

This is a simple and economical option for decorating temporary housing, dormitories, rented apartments, as well as rooms intended for small children, who sometimes like to draw on the walls.

Paintable vinyl wallpaper

Paintable vinyl wallpaper is a 2-layer product: one is a paper or textile base and the other is a top layer containing plastic, which can be smooth, embossed, glossy, matte or combined.

The positive aspects of vinyl wallpaper are high aesthetics, durability, long service life (10-15 years), the possibility of repainting, wiping dust and good sound insulation.

Non-woven wallpaper

It is a flexible cloth with two layers of interwoven cellulose fibers. Thanks to its microporous texture, these wallpapers are environmentally friendly and adhere well to any surface. The repair process is made easier by applying the adhesive directly to the wall. Vinyl spray-free textured non-woven wallpaper can be painted.

Textile wallpaper

Fabric upholstery is an interesting solution for a bedroom, but it should be borne in mind that the walls will need to be vacuumed often (once a month, at most two). Dust accumulates particularly quickly on fluffy synthetic materials (velvet, felt, velor).

Modern textile wallpapers, as a rule, have a dense base, which makes gluing easier, but it is quite difficult to work with them. Excessive amount of glue, absorbed into the fabric, can permanently leave unsightly stains on it. The advantage of using this kind of wallpaper gives a luxurious look and good sound insulation.

Wallpaper for the bedroom according to the style

It is best to choose wallpaper that matches the texture and color of the furniture, textiles used for interior decoration, windows, doors.

At Malldeco you can find suitable and varied models for any style you choose, a sales specialist can advise you or you can benefit from the help of the designer.

Modern style
For a bedroom in a modern style, a smooth wallpaper is suitable. Light and glossy colors will visually make the room more spacious, and matte ones will add an extra color.

Modern style also allows monochrome drawings, graphics, abstractions - but only for an accent wall.

• Classic style

It combines old cultural values and traditions. Through its elegance, the classic style forms a timeless and glamorous image. A real royal bedroom can be framed with wallpaper in warm shades of white (cream, cream, ivory, light beige) with gold or silver floral ornaments, plastered stucco or soft leather relief.

• Provence

The romantic atmosphere of the south of France is represented by pastel colors (light gray, pink, mint, lilac, milky) and small floral prints on their background. A room decorated in the style of Provence so that it does not seem monotonous, sections of patterned wallpaper should be alternated with monochrome ones, and also maintain balance when choosing textiles.

• Scandinavian style

Natural winter tones - snow white, bright silver, transparent blue, light gray, light green - will help recreate the icy freshness of northern Europe. To make your bedroom special, you can use wallpaper, the texture of which resembles sun-bleached linen or unprocessed open boards of a cold shade.

• Japanese style

The interior of the bedroom, reminiscent of the land of the rising sun, can be decorated using bamboo wallpaper, wallpaper with hieroglyphs, cherry blossoms, bamboo leaves, etc. The palette of shades for the Japanese style is quite wide - from black and white, gray, wood, straw tones to gold, hot pink and red.

• Art deco

For this style, wallpapers with abstract and floral patterns in rather satiny but calm colors are perfect. Often gray can be used with a mixture of other shades, black, white, burgundy, beige and blue. To visually increase the space in Art Deco, you can use holographic images and optical illusions. 

Wallpaper color for the bedroom - which one to choose?

When choosing wallpaper for a bedroom, it is very important to consider the influence of certain colors on the psyche.

Active colors like orange and red are best used for the kitchen or living room.

Yellow, light green, peach - for a room located on the north, they can optically increase the space.

And to "cool" the southern bedroom a little - it is worth decorating the walls in shades of green and blue.

Monochrome (white, gray, beige) can be used without restrictions, but black, dark purple and chocolate must be handled with care - because they absorb light, reduce the space and can sometimes shrink the space a lot.

We are waiting for you at Malldeco to choose the color of the wallpaper that personalizes your home.

• White wallpaper

The white wallpaper in the bedroom is a proven classic model.

Any furniture, bright or pastel models, will always look appropriate on a light background; it will emphasize the beauty of paintings, photographs and other decorations.

• Pastel wallpaper

Wallpaper in a soft palette of pink, blue, green, yellow, beige and lavender shades is the perfect solution for a romantic bedroom. All admirers of light and airy interiors will really like this design.

• Gray wallpaper

Neutral gray wallpaper is the best solution for a high-tech, modern, minimalist loft bedroom.

In combination with black or dark blue furniture and strict lines, you get a functional interior; white gloss and silver curls - an option for an elegant lady; bright yellow, pink, green accents on a gray background - for a married couple.

• Blue wallpaper

Shades of sky and water have a calming effect on a person, so they are perfect for a bedroom. Blue wallpapers can be combined with white, gray, beige, purple, dark brown and can also be supplemented with photo wallpaper. 

Combining the wallpaper in the rooms

The combination of patterned and monochromatic wallpapers with close colors will diversify your interior and achieve certain visual effects. The rightly chosen wall decoration will make the home interesting and comfortable. There are several ways to combine - vertical, horizontal, geometric, as well as inserts and niches.

• Vertical

It can be an alternation of stripes from floor to ceiling - light and dark, matte and glossy, printed and monochrome. Sometimes there is a different design of individual walls or partial partitions. Vertical accents make the room appear taller.

• Horizontal

With this combination of wallpaper, you can create beautiful borders, as well as visually expand the walls. Contrast and horizontal lines are best used to enlarge narrow areas.

• Geometric

Pasting the wallpaper in the room at the broken corners is an unusual way to create an exclusive interior. You can also use the application technique, attaching your favorite scraps of paper to the main decor.

• The insert

An insert is a contrasting fragment of any shape, usually separated by an improvised frame - plaster, polyurethane, metal, wood or simply painted.

• Niche

The difference between a wall and a recess in it is easy to emphasize if their colors and textures differ from each other. In a niche, you can stick photo wallpaper, brick imitation, glossy pattern or monochromatic matte insert.
