The popularity of striped wallpaper

The popularity of striped wallpaper
The popularity of striped wallpapers is unbroken for several reasons. It can be said that they make interiors playful and cozy, but we must not forget their space-shaping effect either.

Select

Unlike other wallpapers, striped wallpaper is a real "jolly joker", this is due to the fact that it can be easily placed in any interior. Of course, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the colors of the stripes, their thickness, as well as their density. Striped wallpaper can be placed in both children's and adults' rooms.

Striped wallpaper is popular, as it can be combined with any other pattern and solid color wallpaper, but in this case only striped wallpapers can be considered, on which the size and distance of the stripes are even, and the color matches the colors of the other surfaces. For small patterns, thicker striped versions go very well, and for larger patterns, narrower stripes go very well.

Extremely exciting visuals can be created by combining contrasting colors and the thickness of the stripes. It can be said that the combination of a striped wallpaper and a wallpaper with a different pattern brings calmness and makes the interior lively at the same time.

Most of these wallpapers have longitudinal striping, but there are many who rotate these stripes horizontally to make the overall look even more exciting.

 

Role in shaping space

Wallpaper with thin stripes in vertical gluing expands the space upwards, while those with thicker stripes compress the room. Strips from too much headroom will be removed if used properly. In case the room is rectangular - i.e. both narrow and tall - it is best to glue the wallpaper horizontally to the shorter wall section, with this solution we will see the space wider and can effectively optically reduce the space between the ceiling and the floor.

If the ceiling height is small, it is definitely worth gluing the wallpaper in the traditional way, i.e. vertically. For a low yet spacious room, wide striping is preferable, while for a small room, medium-sized stripes will work best.

Thin striped wallpaper combined with bright colors creates a lively, exciting interior, so it is worth turning to such a solution in a room where social life often takes place, such as the living room. For emphasis, use such wallpaper only on a section of the wall.
