  • The principle of horizontal combining. It helps to visually reduce the room. It is one of the oldest classical methods of combining. It is implemented in the following way: at the desired height, a horizontal line is drawn, based on which the upper part of the wall is pasted first, and then the lower part. If the wallpaper differs in structure, it makes sense to use a border or other elements that will hide the joint. This design is most often used in interiors of classic, Provence, vintage, ethnic styles.

  • The principle of vertical combining. This technique will help to visually add volume and height to the room. For implementation, you should purchase wallpaper of a similar width and thickness. Ideally, they should differ only in pattern. Plain canvases alternating with patterned stripes look good. The vertical combination of wallpaper in the interior will look harmonious in the high-tech, loft style. This principle is also used in space zoning, for example, if you need to combine a bedroom and a living room in one room. For this, different functional zones are distinguished by their colors. The sleep and rest area must be a duller shade to distract the eye from the intimate part of the room, and the guest reception area is decorated in brighter colors.

  • Emphasis on interior elements. In this case, any significant element of the interior is emphasized by wallpaper of a brighter color. Yes, the main wallpaper can be light and without a pattern, and a certain area will have a different, more saturated, texture. For example, niches in the wall or the area above the dining table, if it is pushed close to the wall, are designed in this way.
