Photo wallpaper on the ceiling
The subject of the images, depending on the purpose of the room, can be different: for example, related to the sky, space (bedroom) or fairy-tale scenes (children's).
Thanks to modern technical advances, in spacious rooms the ceiling can be decorated with a three-dimensional image - using 3D photo wallpaper. Moreover, they can be fluorescent, that is, during the day they look simply voluminous, and at night a gentle light emanates from them.
When choosing photo wallpaper for your home from today’s huge range from manufacturers, you need to take into account (in addition to their theme and texture) the issue of color compatibility with the surrounding coatings: photo images must be in harmony with them. And in general, reflect the style, “fit into” the surroundings of the home.
How to correct incorrect door placement?
In most cases, modern people do not have the opportunity to choose a room that would ideally meet all the requirements of Feng Shui. It is impossible to change the location of the front door, windows or bathroom. But some techniques allow you to neutralize the negative consequences.
You can reduce problems by:
- folding partitions;
- rugs with suitable patterns;
- talismans;
- houseplants.
Between the bathroom and the hallway you can hang a bright thread curtain or put up a light screen.
Photo wallpaper in the kitchen
Most often in this room the photographic canvas is placed in the dining table area: either covering the wall completely or partially.
It can “place” still lifes with fruit, coffee and cakes, and delicious bread. In addition to the “edible” theme, beautiful views of nature, flowers, and animals are appropriate. Modern design also offers geometric, abstract designs.
In conditions of high humidity and temperature changes, photo wallpapers with a laminated surface are relevant here: they can last up to fifteen years. Water-repellent, very durable, anti-fungal vinyl photo wallpaper with a non-woven backing is well suited. Self-adhesive photo wallpapers are suitable for kitchen aprons.
Photo wallpaper for the bedroom
Here we need images that will promote relaxation and quiet rest. Most often the choice falls on natural landscapes. Roses, clematis, peonies and other delightful flowers will fit wonderfully into a sleeping room. Abstract ornaments and geometry are quite suitable.
- If the bedroom faces north, then it is advisable to choose, say, a forest landscape with the presence of the radiance of the sun. “Southern” bedrooms can be “cooled down” with an image of the water surface in cold colors.
- A small bedroom can be visually enlarged with panoramic, perspective (conveying 3-dimensionality) images.
Wallpaper is placed both above the bed and opposite the bed. Sometimes they decorate a door or a closet. The most spectacular (but at the same time expensive) option for the living room and bedroom is textile photo wallpaper (made on canvas, linen, viscose, silk).
So-called textured photo wallpapers can add special chic to rooms: they imitate the texture of interior plaster.

Advice! When decorating a hallway, it should be taken into account that a large number of both positive and negative energy flows penetrate into a large room.
An excess of positive energy contributes to the appearance of excessive self-confidence and excessive aggressiveness.

Photo wallpaper for a modern living room
This is the most popular use of large photographic images in home design. The living room is a place for receiving guests, gathering family, a place for relaxation, friendly conversations, and tea drinking.
Any plant images, city landscapes, and anything else that pleases the eye are acceptable here. However, they should not be covered by furniture, a TV, or any other things.
What is most often placed on the walls of the living room? This is not a complete list.
- Diverse pictures of nature.
- Still lifes, other images with greenery, flowers, reproductions of famous artists.
- Animals in the meadow, stacks of firewood, a sheaf of bread in the field and other rural landscapes.
- Portraits of movie stars, famous pop performers.
- Architectural structures, abstract architecture; monochrome printing.
A modern living room interior is sometimes created by covering two walls so that the corner is not visually visible. And it creates a feeling of being outside the room. And, say, on the shore of a mountain lake! In some cases, they even decide to cover the walls in a circular manner in order to create the illusion of being, for example, in a garden.
Decorating a hallway in a private house
Hallway design options can be determined at the home planning stage. Then it is easier to select materials and color palette of finishes. Often the hallway is combined with the living room, and the entrance area is visually distinguished. Or lightweight shelving structures and a unique arrangement of furniture are used.
Square hallway
A square-shaped room creates the least amount of design problems. In a private house, enough space is allocated for the hallway so that you can embody the interior of any style. To effectively use the space, several zones are distinguished:
- A popular layout option is the hallway/living room. In the corner there is a small sofa, a chaise longue, and an armchair with a coffee table. The soft area is fenced off from the front door with a small decorative shelving;
- A practical option is to combine the hallway and dressing room. It is most rational to install spacious corner cabinets. In winter it will be convenient to store skis and sleds in them.
An open clothes hanger and an umbrella stand are located no further than half a meter from the door. If there are no windows in the hallway, then the room must be made as bright as possible. A fashionable trend is to equip open shelves with spots or fluorescent lamps. Near the front door, the floor is laid out with stone and tiles.
Hallway with stairs
When choosing interiors for halls with stairs, designers recommend paying attention to the following points:
- palettes of shades of flooring, walls and stairs should be harmoniously combined;
- if the hall has a small area, a few bright accessories will make it more elegant;
- For the design of stairs, window and door openings, the same materials are selected. The naturalness of Provence and country will be emphasized by wood of whitish and light brown tones (birch, alder, pine). The prestige of classic interiors will be supported by oak, ash, teak, rosewood;
- the shape of the furniture should be beautifully combined with the staircase structure.
To illuminate staircases, it is fashionable to use wall sconces and built-in spotlights. The choice of lamps and shades is determined by the style of the room.
A small, strict staircase, the steps and railings of which are made of glass, looks especially light and impressive. Such designs fit organically into studio apartments decorated in minimalist and high-tech styles.
Different styles of paintings for the hallway
Abstractionism is a rather unusual solution for a hallway, but it would be appropriate for a home decorated in a minimalist style. In this case, you can hang pictures made in a modern style, without using frames or framed in narrow simple metal or plastic frames.
The ideal solution for a classic hallway would be to use creations of impressionism, romantic paintings, as well as images of baroque and realism. Paintings of these styles must be placed in beautiful wooden or gilded frames.
Images of horses or dogs will become a mandatory attribute of an English interior.
It must be said that the paintings would be quite appropriate even in an ordinary village hallway. In this case, it is worth focusing on panoramic options placed in wooden frames that depict the structure of the wood in detail.
Interesting point. It is not at all necessary that the paintings be independent hanging elements. You can easily purchase furniture decorated with different images or opt for functional elements: a key holder, a clock or a lamp.
Paintings can be hung not only on walls, but also on hanger hooks, and also placed on shelves or tables.
Separately, we need to talk about the frescoes. With their help, a significant visual expansion of space is possible, which is created by the perspective of the drawing. This solution is quite attractive, but it is very important to carefully select the subject of the fresco. After all, if you want change, it will be much more difficult to do so than in the case of paintings.
