Green wallpaper design

Wallpaper for wall decoration can have not only different colors, but also texture and pattern. When choosing wallpaper, take into account its purpose for a particular room, its size, general style and your preferences.

• Plain green wallpaper is used as a background against which other objects in the room will look contrasting. They can be combined with other expressive shades.
• Green wallpaper with a pattern, flowers, leaves will organically fit into the living room or bedroom.
• Green striped wallpaper acts as an eye trainer and can visually change the room. Depending on the type of strip - vertical, horizontal, narrow, wide - the effect created depends. A vertical line can lengthen a room upward, while a horizontal stripe can make it wider.

How to choose curtains and other decorative elements for a green interior

Each shade of green is good in its own way and has certain properties. It is important to find the right combination for them, which will successfully dilute the color palette in the room.

It is unacceptable for the color of wallpaper and curtains to merge together. The shades should match and not form a continuous veil. It is also undesirable for them to contrast; it is better to use small-sized decor as contrasting details.

Against the background of green walls, white curtains will look good, complemented by pink, yellow, and brown decorative details. Ocher curtains with brown or gray elements will suit dark olive walls. Light yellow and purple textile additions will harmoniously fit into the light olive interior. Metallic, silver and gold-plated curtains are in perfect harmony with the turquoise wall decoration. A gray-green room is successfully diluted with dark red or blue-green curtains with beige inserts. It is worth adding contrasting gray, pink, chocolate or beige decor to rich jade. Delicate green colors harmonize perfectly with any representatives of blue, blue, yellow and white shades. A great solution would be to choose textile decor, bedspreads, and pillows to match the curtains.

It is equally important, in addition to a successful combination of colors, to achieve a harmonious relationship between textures. Light, fragile, light curtains will look ridiculous against the background of weighty, luxurious bright green wallpaper, even with a successful color combination.

Choice for the bedroom

For the bedroom, you need to focus on the fact that the day will begin with this room. And a person’s mood depends on what color of wallpaper is used. It should be noted right away that aggressive colors are prohibited. There will be no quality sleep, and annoying ones will lead to frustration and quarrels. Too minor will also not lead to anything good, since the room should not turn a person into a lazy creature.

You should immediately consider a selection of popular shades:

Blue relaxes and calms

• Blues are often chosen because they are calming, despite their coldness. You can only use light blue, not blue. Blue is allowed only for compact rooms - it can visually expand them.
• The mood of green is perfect for the bedroom. Color gives relaxing emotions, relieves stress, and allows you to relax.
• It’s not for nothing that universal ones have such a title - they can be used everywhere. You can combine anything with white. The room will be light and open, but if there are other shades along with white. Having only white will make the room look impersonal. This is a good option for small bedrooms. It goes with most popular colors. These can be used in bedrooms with poor lighting.
• The use of yellow compensates for this deficiency. Like white, brown can be classified as a universal shade. It will never go away in reality. It has the most positive impact. In such a room you can relax.

Brown is a universal shade

Are there any conflicting colors for the bedroom?

There are several colors that can be used in the bedroom under certain circumstances. But we must immediately make a reservation – the colors are contradictory. For example, this is red wallpaper. It is the color of aggression, leadership and dominance. Leaders and easy-going people like him. The color is most often used in the living room, but it can be used in the bedroom as well. But then the red wallpaper will need to be diluted with a light finish.

Blue is cool. It definitely needs to be diluted. Otherwise, blue wallpaper will cause melancholy and depression. For small bedrooms this is prohibited.

Blue only for large rooms

Black can overwhelm its richness, so splashes of beige or white are a must. A completely black interior for a bedroom is unacceptable.

Cardinal directions for the bedroom

As in the living room, the cardinal directions play a big role in the bedroom. Especially if the apartment owner is interested in Feng Shui. If the windows face south, then there will be no problem with light. After lunch there will be too much light, so you need to absorb it:

• blue;
• purple;
• terracotta.

All of the above rules are relevant only for spacious bedrooms. There is no need to use dark ones for compact bedrooms. When the window faces north, there will be a lack of light. Then even opening the curtains will not greatly improve the situation. You will need to use wallpaper in a beige, gold or yellow shade.

Bohemian style

Color combination of wallpaper and furniture

It is customary to plan the overall range in advance, so that in practice you do not end up with a frankly unsuccessful combination of finishing materials and furniture.

• For light furniture, you need to choose materials to match. Such wallpaper can be golden, white and beige wallpaper. In rooms with large walls you can play with contrast. That is, you can use black furniture and white wallpaper and vice versa. Warm and cold shades cannot be mixed under any circumstances.
• As for dark furniture, it refers to warm furniture. Accordingly, cool shades cannot be used in wallpaper. Suitable colors are white, sand, ocher, brown. Furniture should act as a secondary material, while wallpaper will be the main element.

There are also some bold solutions to add some light color to a dull interior. You can try combining different types of wallpaper. The point is that you need to use the same pattern structure. Colors can be any. You can make a vertical or horizontal position, as well as inserts and niches.

Horizontal stripes are good for zoning a room

Horizontal stripes are used to zone the room. At the bottom of the room, dark wallpaper with a dynamic pattern is used. At the top of the room there will be calm tones. Vertical stripes can be made monochromatic. The width of the stripes can be selected to be the same as the dimensions of the bed. The material can either reach the ceiling or go beyond it. Inserts are required to highlight space. The area above the bed is often highlighted.
