Rules and recommendations
When deciding to renovate a room by combining wallpaper, you should take into account the area, location, purpose and proportions of the room.
- When choosing the main tone, you need to start from the area. In a small room, it is inappropriate to use a dark color palette; a light pastel palette looks more harmonious, which will visually increase the area of the room.
- In a spacious room, a combination of dark colors and voluminous patterns is acceptable.
- Location plays an important role. In a room with windows facing north, it is better to use a warm palette, this will compensate for the lack of sunlight.
- On the south side, opposite, cool shades look more harmonious; they will give a breath of fresh air.
- In an apartment with high ceilings, you should not combine wallpaper with vertical patterns.
- You can adjust the height of the ceilings using horizontal stripes and three-dimensional images. The same rule works in the opposite direction; for small rooms, light, plain wallpaper and a small, discreet pattern are suitable.

Selecting wallpaper for furniture in different rooms
It's no secret that colors can influence a person's emotional state and mood. Each room has its own harmonious range of shades.
Wallpaper for bedroom furniture
Bedroom design needs to be taken into account. If the furniture, its arrangement and color palette are made in the avant-garde, art deco, modern or minimalist style, then light-colored wallpaper will be an excellent choice, which will serve as a wonderful element of relaxation.
In the case of original (unusual shapes) or natural (stone or wood) furniture, you should use neutral wallpaper with colorful inserts in the form of mosaics or geometric shapes. This contrast will create a creative and inspiring atmosphere.
Wallpaper for furniture in the living room
The hall most often contains bulky furniture. You can dilute it with combined wallpaper, which can make one part of the room more calm and cozy, and the other rich and juicy.
If the furniture in the living room is made in light shades, you can choose a beige wall covering with bright inserts or colorful wallpaper with light inclusions. If it's a classic style, it's better to stick to neutral tones.
Wallpaper for furniture in a children's room
A room for small children most often contains furniture of interesting designs, unusual beds and bright shelves. This is an ideal place for photo wallpapers that will complement the atmosphere of joy, childhood and emotions.
A calm child will be comfortable in a bright room (beige, peach, lemon wallpaper), and an active child will be comfortable in a colorful one (photo wallpaper with cartoon characters).
To prevent the space from seeming too busy and cluttered, you can make one wall (which is behind the bed) neutral, and the rest brighter.
Wallpaper for furniture in the kitchen
Nowadays, rarely does anyone buy separate furniture for the kitchen. Built-in projects are becoming more and more popular. They range from dark gray to light yellow.
In this case, it is worth remembering that wallpaper can look organic if the color is chosen one or two shades lighter than dark furniture and one or two shades brighter than light furniture. You can also make furniture and walls in the same tone. It looks practical and beautiful in the kitchen.
Wallpaper for bathroom furniture
Do not forget that wallpaper should not only harmoniously emphasize the aesthetics of the room, but also meet such important criteria as moisture resistance and breathability. The ideal solution for a bathroom with any furniture is pastel colors. They are always relevant, especially in the bedroom and bathroom.
Wallpaper for furniture in the hallway
Here it would be appropriate to use not too light and not too dark tones. Dark tones of wallpaper in tandem with dark furniture will immerse the space in a gloomy atmosphere, and white surfaces will be subject to contamination.
The ideal choice for the hallway is combined wallpaper colors, patterns, ornaments and simple functional furniture without additional decoration.

Nuances of human psychology
When choosing shades, it is recommended to take into account the psychology of human color perception:
- Some colors come under strict supervision - red, deep orange, bright yellow, purple, deep blue. These colors are quite aggressive, so a person in the room can quickly get a headache and worsen their mood.
- Green, blue and turquoise shades are your saviors in difficult times. After all, they are suitable for almost any room, since they remind a person of the natural beauty of nature. If you are in doubt about the choice of color, use green, blue and turquoise shades.
- Cool shades create a calm, even a little sleepy mood. Therefore, it is recommended to select them for kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Warm shades have the opposite properties - they create light tension and fun. Therefore, use them to decorate the hallway, living room, and guest room.
