Make(over) the weekend? It's possible!
It does not look so phenomenal to set a modern piece of furniture against a white wall as it did in the shop? Are you bored of bedroom decorations? Or maybe you're about to greet a new family member? There are many reasons to change the arrangements, unfortunately, the willingness and funds are often very limited. For months we postpone the renovation by the fear of clutter or overburdening the household budget. Meanwhile, an easy, yet inexpensive way to finish the walls is to wallpaper them. From among dozens of patterns, let's choose the ideal one to enjoy the original decoration, which will change our apartment in no time!
Wallpaper in the spotlight - which one to choose?
The beauty of the patterns and the richness of colours can make us take hours to choose the perfect wallpaper. Primarily, we should be guided by our own taste and the effect we want to achieve. However, whether you dream of a glamorous interior, charming Provence or strict minimalism, it's worth following a few basic rules.
Patterned wallpaper, in-plant motifs or large geometric lines can be put on one wall - it certainly adds style to any interior. Wallpapering the whole room may cause the effect of "overloading". It is ideal for larger rooms, accompanied by furniture in a simple, economical form.
Subtle colours look great in small spaces. Thanks to them, a few meters long room seems bigger.
On the other hand, the children's corner is ruled by completely different laws. Regardless the size, crazy colours and fabulous motifs should reign here. There is no room for the moderation of forms and colours. Unless a little princess wishes for a delicate pink - this is the only exception!
Choosing wallpaper for the bedroom is a very individual matter - we know best what environment we like to wake up to and fall asleep in. Intimate romance, or maybe modern simplicity? The richness of patterns will help us to create a perfect decor.
Let's also take care of the original arrangement of the workplace. Greys and beiges will work perfectly as a background for office spaces - they do not distract attention and help to focus. Unless we want to explore the creativity of our employees, then let's focus on bold patterns or colours that will refresh the mind and even stimulate thinking.
Step by step: put the wallpaper on
The next, and at the same time the last step is to put wallpaper on the wall. We have to do it carefully so that it is a perfect interior finish and we can enjoy it for many years. Difficult task? Only seemingly. We assure you that it goes much easier than you think!
The ideal solution is a modern wallpaper which is a combination of paper and fleece fibres - even beginners will be able to handle its application. Thanks to innovative technology, it is only essential to put glue on the wall. So let's prepare the necessary accessories and get to work!
Use a roller or brush to apply a thin layer of glue, do it carefully, bearing in mind hard to reach spots. Put the wallpaper on the surface and then unfold the appropriate length of the fabric. Let's start glueing from the top. Using a special plastic tool, smooth its surface, getting rid of unsightly air bubbles. However, before we do so, make sure that the wallpaper strip has been glued to the right place along the previously designated vertical line. If something needs to be fixed, gently tear off the wallpaper and re-glue it. If not, cut off the excess wallpaper with a special knife. The same way we should proceed with the next pieces of wallpaper. Stick them one by one so that their edges meet each other. Remember to match patterns on adjacent stripes!
