In the process of decoration design, we need to pay attention to many details, and wallpaper is one of them. As a decorative element for walls and the home environment, when selecting wallpaper, apart from choosing a style that we like, we should also pay attention to various aspects centered around the home environment itself. Let's take a look together with Hemao Decoration's little housekeeper!
Choose based on the room orientation
Due to the longest sunshine duration, using cool-toned wallpaper in a south-facing room can make us feel more comfortable, and the overall visual effect of the room will also be more aesthetically pleasing.
Rooms facing west, which are affected by the setting sun, should be decorated with wallpaper in deep and cool colors to create a more comfortable atmosphere.
Rooms facing east get the earliest sunshine and also experience the earliest departure of daylight, so the lighting tends to dim earlier. Therefore, using wallpaper in a light and warm hue is the safest choice; rooms facing north, which receive no direct sunlight, should also opt for wallpaper in a light and warm tone.
Choose based on the purpose of the room
The purpose of a room often determines its decoration effect.
Among them, the wallpaper color in the living room should appear bright and warm; the kitchen is suitable for light and bright wallpaper, but be careful with warm wallpaper; the hallway and entrance are passageways, so you can boldly use wallpaper in different tones; the style of bedroom wallpaper can be determined by personal preference.
Choose based on the shape of the room
The tone of wallpaper can influence people's perception of the room's shape to some extent. For instance, cool-toned wallpaper can make a lower ceiling appear higher and a narrow room appear wider.
Since the space in a children's room is generally not very spacious, it is best not to choose wallpaper with overly prominent textures or patterns, as this can create a visually cramped feeling.
Select based on room function
Wallpapers of different colors can evoke distinct feelings in people.
Goose yellow wallpaper can bring a sense of warmth, red wallpaper can excite people, and green wallpaper can calm people down and regulate bodily balance. Therefore, green-toned wallpaper is suitable for the dining room, and light green wallpaper can even stimulate appetite. Blue has the effect of eliminating tension and relieving fatigue.
