Do you remember the times when the walls of many Soviet apartments were dotted with photo wallpaper with poorly printed autumn landscapes, grainy images of birch groves and exotic bounty beaches with palm trees? From my childhood I remember all this surrounding me “beauty” and after that a stereotype was firmly fixed in my head that photowall photos in no way do not fit in with a stylish interior and are a relic of the past. Fortunately, over the years I have reviewed my views on this subject and realized how much I underestimated such a great design tool! Well, if you still do not consider photo wallpaper as an interior decoration and, looking at it crookedly, remember examples from the past – look through my article to the end and I promise, your opinion will change radically!
Most often, with the help of photo wallpaper an accent wall is made, which adds character to the interior. A few recommendations: choose for this purpose a wall that is visible when you enter, but it should not be conspicuous when you are constantly in the room (otherwise the image can get boring). Perhaps the most advantageous location is in the living room behind the sofa and in the bedroom behind the bed headboard. Visible and unobtrusive!
How to choose the right image? First, listen to yourself! If looking at the picture you start to feel positive emotions, it’s definitely a good sign:) Secondly, choose a photo wallpaper also based on the space in which you plan to place it. It is good if the basic shades of the subject will echo with the other items of the interior.
Your apartment is on the upper floors and faces south? Then feel free to use canvases with saturated and even dark shades, which will absorb the light and get rid of the excess of blinding sun. I really like the photo wallpaper from Mr Perswall, especially the plants and flowers on a black background – they look three-dimensional and, looking at them, the full sense of depth is insanely fascinating!
For rooms with windows on the north side the pictures with beige, yellowish and goldish shades will be very appropriate, which add sun and warmth to the surrounding space. The best thing is that you can buy wallpapers inexpensively, so it’s a great alternative to more expensive decoration materials, which will not only save the family budget, but also create a truly unique space! Exclusive photo wallpaper in Moscow and other cities can be easily found in online stores and showrooms, so it’s easy to find a suitable image.
Do you want to create a small visual illusion that will make a small room look more spacious? Then opt for a photo wallpaper with perspective views, where the image takes the eye into the distance. How about endless mountains, a road fleeing over the horizon, a forest landscape or a metropolis? Whatever you choose, in any case, the result will pleasantly surprise you and make you doubt the true size of the room)
