Photo: idei.club Wallpaper is a classic wall decoration, but don’t you think a solid monolithic canvas with the same pattern is too boring? After all, even the most original textures and colors are lost if you cover the entire room with them at once. Moreover, eclecticism, contrasts and bizarre combinations are in fashion now. But we found a way out - feel free to combine different wallpapers in your bedroom, and we’ll tell you how best to do it!
Nuances of choice
With the help of combinations, it’s easy to add individuality to the bedroom interior, realizing even the most extravagant of your own ideas. Therefore, this method of decoration is among fashion trends.
Create a comfortable and stylish environment
With it you can:
- easy to zone space;
- hide the shortcomings of the room;
- create focal points;
- emphasize a certain atmosphere;
- display preference;
- organize comfort and coziness.
The main thing is to choose a relaxation area and a work area. Using color and texture, you can control the space. Canvases with patterns and elegant colors will help to visually expand the usable area in a compact room.
Separate the rest area and work space
At the same time, an original idea can turn the disadvantages of a room into advantages. But only if a number of principles of double combination are observed in each functional space. This applies not only to appearance, but also to texture and quality characteristics of materials.
The smaller the room and the lighting, the lighter the design should be.
Use flooring that matches the wallpaper
Is it possible or not to combine two types of wallpaper?
Designers claim that it is possible and necessary to combine. This method opens up all the boundaries for creativity and imagination, but provided that you plan the design of the room in advance. To imagine a room in a particular design, it is recommended to use samples of purchased materials, applying them to each other to determine the optimal combination. It is necessary to take into account the thickness of each type and the parameters of the rolls, as well as the masking of the joints.
Textile wallpaper takes first place in terms of originality and aesthetics, but combination with other types of wallpaper will bring you problems:
- firstly, they are quite thin, so it is not always possible to hide the joints;
- secondly, it is very difficult to select materials for them, regarding shades and style.
Wallpaper features: TOP 8 types
Textile The most expensive, collect dust and require careful care.
Fiberglass Durable, allows you to hide uneven surfaces, can be painted many times without damaging the texture, but heavy.
Non-woven fabrics are lighter than fiberglass sheets; to preserve the design, they are painted only with latex paints, and no more than twice. They are soft and therefore susceptible to mechanical damage.
Pressed vinyl are not afraid of mechanical stress, imitate the effect of silk-screen printing.

In order not to overload the interior, it is recommended to use them with plain wallpaper in muted tones. They can be smooth or with an uneven surface, reminiscent of brick, masonry or wood. Truly exclusive – luminous collections.
TOP 4 selection criteria taking into account the specific situation
The main indicators of the material are environmental friendliness, because toxic components in the decor can negatively affect health by polluting the composition of the air. The texture allows you to distract from imperfections without leveling the surface.
Paper wallpaper is environmentally friendly and safe
1For decorating a room in a new, not yet settled house, fiberglass canvases are better suited. They are more durable and are able to keep the surface smooth even if a crack appears.

Color palette for the bedroom
The range of shades helps shape the mood of the room. The atmosphere of the sleeping space should meet favorable conditions for sleep, and the living room - for active spending. Therefore, for these corners, a certain range of wallpaper is selected, combined into a single composition:
Using even two monochromatic options you can achieve novelty and freshness in the interior
- using a monochrome palette it is easy to add volume and integrity to the atmosphere;
- the use of contrasting colors visually splits the interior, creating the desired accent;
- options include a combination of black, white, gray, beige tones that mute or accentuate other colors;
- geometric patterns add creativity to the design;
Creative Geometric Accents
- green color has the most beneficial effect on well-being;
- combining white accents on a yellow background adds light and air to the space;
- in a small room it is inappropriate to use shades of bright colors and contrasting patterns that make the room smaller;
Green and pink colors act as anti-stress and have a calming effect
- dark colors accompanied by ornaments with large elements are contraindicated for low rooms;
- with high ceilings, large patterns that contribute to comfort are relevant;
- Bright patterns are always appropriate on a white background.
Original and modern design
You need to use more than two types very carefully, covering individual walls with them, otherwise there will be an unaesthetic effect of a sharp transition.
TOP 5 popular design rules
The trend is a floral print on one wall, striped canvases on the other

2Opposite areas of different tones.
3Floral print on one wall, striped canvases on the other. The colors of both match.
4Wallpaper with the same pattern, but different colors.

Colors
Light pastel shades in bedroom design are classic. First of all, these are white, beige and gray colors. However, you can use other shades to create a fashionable interior. In order for the design to be harmonious and stylish, you should pay attention to the research of companies that deal with fashionable interiors.
The most famous is Pantone. Every year this company announces the most relevant color of the season. At the moment, the main shade of this year is kept secret, but there is information that it is associated with a marine theme.
But WGSN and Coloro have already announced fashionable shades for this season. Experts have identified five main colors, which are taken from different spectrums. According to fashion trends, this year the most trendy colors will be mint, blue-gray, mustard shades, as well as the color of black currant and cantaloupe melon.
Different patterns for different styles
Floral patterns are popular
Various ornaments and patterns can belong to the group of images:
- meander;
- vegetable;
- geometric.
Each variety is “tied” to a specific style, which makes the choice of materials easier. The decor is picturesque and voluminous with the help of zoning with meander patterns on the edges, in the area of the joints of the ceiling and walls, and borders.
Adding volume using zoning with meander patterns
A fashionable combination trend is the use of patchwork technique. It is based on gluing together pieces of different rectangular or square wallpaper, taking into account the color and floral pattern. A wall with this design resembles a quilt made of patches. This method is financially beneficial because you can use leftover wallpaper.
The patchwork technique will add brightness to the space
Fabrics of material with geometric decor can consist of:
- vertical or horizontal stripes;
- circles;
- squares;
- diamonds
Discreet geometric lines in the bedroom interior
The basis of the ornament can be a quatrefoil of four circles of the same diameter. This design effectively highlights the living room area. Options for combining it with checkered and striped patterns in classic, gothic and retro interiors.

For the English and country style, the “targan” technique is suitable - weaving multi-colored threads in the form of a lattice, “crow’s feet” on a plain surface. For romanticism, a soft palette of lavender tones is ideal, giving the atmosphere lightness and airiness.

Proper use of style elements that resonate with each other can result in unusual combinations that decorate the interior.
We use wall panels and niches
This type of wall decoration as panels is often found in classic interiors. It is made with two different types of wallpaper. A calm, neutral shade is attached to the base. Then the space is allocated and the edges are finished with plasterboard, wood, plastic or polyurethane baguette. Wallpaper with more interesting designs is placed in the middle. This way you get charming walls in a classic style.
For the niche, two types of textures are also chosen, but the edges are not edged. Instead, they make a recess in the wall, which can then accommodate vases, books, figurines or even a TV.
TOP 3 rules for choosing material for combination
Combine contrasting shades, for example, black and white
1The thickness of the coatings must be the same, so as not to use devices in the form of moldings, edging, and curbs at joints and irregularities.
2The service life of the decor depends on the identical performance properties of companion wallpaper.
3A harmonious combination of relief patterns of textured canvases is necessary so that the decor is not overloaded with too bright textures and flashy shades.
It is better to buy wallpaper from one brand and from one retail outlet. Preferably a combination kit.
The thickness of the wallpaper should be the same
What wallpaper emphasizes the style of the bedroom interior
Each style, be it classic or minimalism, has its own shades, so you should adhere to color matching and unity with the style of the room. A living room combined with a bedroom will remain spacious and airy if the shades match the style direction. The easiest way to achieve this is when decorating the space:
In a classic design, use calm tones
- classic and minimalist solutions with plain wallpaper;
- Japanese style with bamboo trunks or their imitation in calm grey-beige, green-blue, pastel pink tones;
- country with simple colors without glitter and pretentiousness;
- romanticism, baroque with enlarged patterns of bright colors without smooth lines;
- hi-tech, modern with abstractions, strict lines, geometric formats;
- art deco floral arrangements;
- Provence with small plant motifs.
Styles such as Baroque and Classicism are characterized by richness, splendor and sophistication.
An option for any style is wallpaper with textural touches or elements without visible patterns.
“Techno”, industrial “loft” solutions with brick or bare concrete subconsciously depress the psyche, therefore eliminating the relaxation necessary for a night’s rest.
Horizontal arrangement
Although due to the complexity of execution, such a combination does not occur so often, it looks more original. Due to such stripes, the room looks more spacious. To avoid getting the opposite effect, you need the room to have a high ceiling.
Typically, in the “classic” or “Provence” styles, 2 stripes are glued with a 1:3 delimitation - plain or striped canvases at the bottom, and floral or abstract designs at the top. The joints are decorated. There are styles: “modern”, “retro”, “Provence”, “minimalism”, “classic”.
Geometry matters too
In some cases, using companion wallpaper will not work. Perception also depends on the shape of the room and lighting. Natural lighting makes the finish lighter, artificial lighting adds yellowness. Reflecting from colored surfaces, yellow particles slightly mix the shades, so cool tones will be warmer.
For large rooms it is necessary to use decoration in dark colors
A bright stripe on a light background of the opposite wall will mask the unevenness of the walls, details that spoil the interior.
If there is insufficient lighting in a room of irregular configuration, pastel and neutral colors are preferable. vertical or horizontal division of a surface to give height to a room. Variants of horizontal combinations look good:
Vertical lines give height to a room
- there are horizontal stripes at the bottom and vertical stripes at the top;
- there is a dark shade at the bottom and a light shade at the top, or vice versa;
- below there is a smooth monochromatic surface, above there is a relief;
- on top there are horizontal stripes, and on the bottom there is a plain surface;
- there are vertical stripes on top and a pattern on the bottom;
- there is a pattern on top, a plain surface on the bottom;
- There is a plain surface on top and a pattern on the bottom.
A plain surface on top, a pattern on the bottom - a great way to add height
For horizontal division, it is preferable to use wallpaper with large, contrasting patterns.
The vertical method of combining wallpaper visually “pulls” the walls upward. The most successful option is a series of plain and patterned stripes of the same width, breaking the stereotype of the interior.
More than two variegated patterns and more than three colors cannot be combined in one room.
Accent wall
An accent wall is a strong decorative technique and a tool for expanding the bedroom. Basically, this is the wall immediately behind the headboard, on which the eye first falls. In this case, a restrained monochromatic finish in combination with a beautiful expressive pattern looks best.
The same principle is used in modern minimalist interiors. You can choose the simplest smooth wallpaper, but some of them are calm, neutral, and others are rich, bright colors. For example, gray with yellow, white with blue, beige with green, pastels with deep dark ones.
TOP 6 interesting combination ideas
Contrasting shades
Not only colors and shades, but also ornaments, patterns or play with different textures within the same color.
1Gradient decor, when a soft beige color smoothly turns into brown. Or the surfaces of four walls of different shades of the same color are painted from light green to dark green. You can arrange them counterclockwise or vice versa, but they should gradually move from one to the other.
2Balance of complex wallpaper with intricate patterns and simple plain ones, the color of which repeats the color of the pattern of complex wallpaper.

Drawings
Bedroom design with different wallpapers implies the presence of expressive patterns. It is important to avoid excessive diversity, since this is a place for relaxation and healthy sleep. Prints should be similar in color and size. Small patterns and thin stripes look great together, while large ones with wide inserts of the same color.
Floral motifs are selected for compositions with plants, and geometric abstract figures are selected for cages. It is better if adjacent colors are of the same saturation. We must not forget that excessive decor, bulky and elaborate designs will visually further reduce an already small bedroom.
Wallpaper companions
Their peculiarity is that, made in the same style, they differ in certain parameters. There may be a common surface and color, but different patterns. The neutral series provides a backdrop for a decorative accent. Taking into account the demand in the market, companies began to produce such wallpapers - from inexpensive paper to luxury ones.
The series includes several colors and fabrics with matching prints. It is important to maintain quality, texture and style.
This proposal allows you to easily choose wallpaper of 2 or 3 types, without having the appropriate knowledge. Some manufacturers as part of the collection offer not only different textures - liquid, paper, but also textiles and interior paints.
The advantage of companion wallpapers is that they are available from all manufacturers and choosing them to implement your own plan will not be difficult. Their use will get rid of both excessive diversity and too boring interiors. They are an ideal option for dividing an area into sectors and changing visual perception.
Fashion trends
Fashion is also changing in interior design. Vegetable plots do not lose their leading positions, but in a certain dose. For example, only on one wall or on strips. The trend is a bright wall with an ornament at the headboard and three plain walls.
For a bedroom with a low ceiling, a combination of an accent wall that extends to the surface of the ceiling is important. Combinations of three-dimensional designs, stylish black and white ornaments, individual prints and photo wallpapers with 3-D images, accent inserts with baguette, and single-color canvases with textured patterns are welcome.
Another stylish technique is to place a wallpaper sheet that is the same size as the window frame. Their placement next to each other creates the impression of a window through which your favorite landscape is visible.
