Interactive wallpaper for the walls of the house. The most unusual and current interior design novelties. Futuristic wallpaper with visual illusions

Despite all the variety of finishing materials, in most cases the choice falls on quite ordinary wallpaper, water-based or silicone-based paint and a simple, albeit quite attractive laminate. Meanwhile, designers annually offer many new products that can turn any interior into something amazing and fabulous.

"Blooming" wallpaper

Such "clothes for the walls" are usually called thermal wallpaper. The highlight of the novelty is that when the temperature in the room rises, the image on the wallpaper changes.

For example, a completely traditional pattern in the form of green shoots with tiny buds, purchased in a store, does not manifest itself in the cold air, remaining the same ordinary. But in a room in which at least plus 22-23 ° C, the buds begin to increase in size, and at plus 35 ° C they bloom with bright, lush flowers.

There are also enough disadvantages of such wallpapers. Firstly, it is not yet clear how the thermal paint affects the human body and whether it releases harmful substances when it is heated into the air, so there is no need to rush to buy a new product before additional research is carried out.

Second, to heat the wallpaper to the right temperature, in the room you will have to arrange a real sauna, so that basically flowers appear only around the heaters, and on the rest of the wall the wallpaper will not differ from ordinary ones.

Thirdly, they are quite expensive - from 600 rubles per square meter, so many designers advise buying a small roll and pasting the walls around the battery or on that part of the wall where the sun exactly hits.

Glowing wallpaper

It is worth noting that ordinary luminous wallpaper that flickers in the dark thanks to the patterns applied with special acrylic paint that accumulates light during the day and is able to shine for 15-25 minutes after the light in the room is turned off, you will not surprise anyone.

Such wallpapers, usually with images of the starry sky, were popular a few years ago, so they cannot be called a novelty, and they are quite inexpensive - from 120 rubles per square meter.

But wallpapers that glow in a controlled manner and become another source of lighting in the room are really surprising. There are several layers in such "clothes for the walls", one of which is silver, which serves as a conductor; the inventor, Dutch designer Jonas Samson, prefers to keep silent about all the details.

It is known that glowing wallpapers can be turned off remotely, they perfectly serve as a night light in a nursery, are durable and are not harmful to human health. But such a novelty is very expensive - from 1,500 rubles per square meter.

Stone wallpaper

Yes, this is not just a stylization of natural stone - such a pattern on vinyl or paper wallpaper has already become a classic and has decorated numerous corridors, bathrooms and kitchens. This wallpaper is really the thinnest veneer of stone that can be pasted literally wherever you want.

The advantages of such wallpapers include the fact that they are absolutely environmentally friendly and fairly light - they are based on ordinary gypsum, a square meter of a layer literally 6-12 millimeters thick weighs only 10 kilograms. Such wallpapers look great, but they began to be used quite recently, and it is difficult to say how durable the material will be. Such stone wallpapers are not as expensive as controlled luminous wallpapers - "only" from 240 rubles per "square".

Liquid wallpaper

If ordinary wallpaper is sold in rolls, then their liquid "colleagues" are offered to customers in bags, reliably protected from moisture. They are really liquid, that is, they are applied to the walls with a plastic trowel or spray, and when solidified, they turn into a kind of decorative plaster.

Dry mix for liquid wallpaper is made from natural cellulose fiber, to which quartz, silk or cotton are added to achieve a decorative effect. This mixture is simply diluted with water and then easily applied to any surface, for example, concrete, wood or plaster.

The advantages of liquid wallpaper include the use of only natural ingredients, due to which they "breathe" and easily tolerate frost and sunlight, do not fade and have a long service life.

The only drawback is that they cannot be washed with water in any case, they can simply spread along the wall and lose their original appearance.

The cost of liquid wallpaper - from 120 rubles per "square".

"Living" walls

Live plants can also be used as decoration and wall decoration - the Frenchman Patrick Blanc proved. Such "vertical gardens" are already quite often found in summer cottages and adjoining territories, but to this day it has not been accepted to decorate the walls with them inside the building.

Meanwhile, the "living" wall not only radically changes the interior of the house, turning it into a real garden, but also makes the air in the room more humid and cleaner.

The disadvantages of this option for wall decoration include the need for an expensive irrigation system; a certain temperature and humidity must always be maintained in the room. In addition, take care of such " vertical garden»Will have to be done regularly, which many homeowners in the service will not like.

The price of one square meter of a "living" wall starts from 4 thousand rubles.

In the interior, "living" walls made of green plants look very fresh and picturesque

This natural stone can really be sold simply in rolls, is flexible and has found a fairly wide application in the interior. A flexible stone is created from a cut of natural sandstone, which is millions of years old. Each cut is unique, so when purchasing a flexible stone, you can be sure that no one else will have exactly the same interior.

Flexible sheets of sandstone are attached to thin sheets of textile backing, which allows you to literally roll the stone into rolls and use it in the decoration of columns, walls, bar counters, doors and arched walkways. True, such a stone will have to be bent under the influence of hot air, so you cannot do without the help of professionals who already have experience with this new material.

Flexible stone can be easily wrapped around the column, making it look like a real stone statue

Designers attribute the advantages of flexible stone to the fact that it is not afraid of temperature extremes, moisture and the sun, it can even be faced with fireplaces, it will not lose its strength or beauty from fire and heat.

The main drawback is that there is much more dust from such "wallpaper" than from ordinary ones.

The cost of one "square" of flexible stone is 2200 rubles.

Flexible stone is sold in rolls and does not weigh as much as it seems

Self-cleaning paint

Acrylic latex paints are now quite popular due to their unique properties: neither dust nor dirt adheres to such paint.

Very practical, long-lasting, attractive shades, they are most often used for painting external walls at home, in interior design, acrylic-latex paints have not yet been used.

Their uniqueness is also due to the fact that a photocatalyst, that is, an accelerator of interaction processes, which is added to their composition, helps sunlight break down dirt particles that have fallen on the wall. Then these small residues are simply carried away by the wind and washed away by the rain, and the wall itself remains perfectly clean.

"Washable" paint looks like quite ordinary

The only drawback of such a unique paint, durable and beautiful, the designers call the high cost - for one liter of self-cleaning material you will have to pay at least 400 rubles.

"Liquid" tile

Such tiles are also often referred to as "living", as they react to touch by changing the pattern. The surface of the "liquid" tile is created from tempered glassdurable enough to be used as a flooring or to decorate bar countertops and dining tables.

The inner capsule of the tile is under pressure, which allows the coating to immediately respond to human steps and even light touches of the hand. Such flooring creates the effect of walking on water and decorates any room.

"Liquid" tiles can be of different shades, the combination of which creates a bright, unique interior

"Liquid" tiles are easy to clean, can withstand temperatures up to plus 80 degrees, dampens vibration and sound, so you can walk on it almost silently, but it also has a number of disadvantages. So, "live" tiles are afraid of frost, when the temperature drops, they can crack, sharp objects leave traces on it, so cutting food on such a tabletop with a knife is not worth it, as well as walking on tiles on thin heels.

In addition, it is impossible to put heavy pieces of furniture on it, for example, dressers or bedside tables - the “live” tile does not withstand the pressure on a large area. However, who will, having paid such a lot of money, hide the beauty under the furniture!

Walking on such a tile, you can actually leave "footprints on the water", which looks very impressive

The cost of such a unique tile is also very high - from 12 thousand rubles per square meter.

3D floor

The so-called 3D floor looks even more original and attractive - a floor covering that turns the floor in a room into a sandy beach, a flowering meadow or an oceanic aquarium.

Any image you like is taken as a basis for creating a 3D floor, which is glued to a concrete base. Above, the picture is filled with a special polymer material, which makes the coating perfectly smooth, seamless and creates the very unique effect of a three-dimensional image.

In addition, even voluminous objects, for example, sea pebbles or shells, can be placed under the polymer material, which will enhance the effect of a "live" picture.

However, designers warn that such a floor covering, despite all its attractiveness, has a number of disadvantages. So, the 3D floor dries for five to six days, scratches easily remain on it, so it's better not to walk in shoes, and over time, the coating may simply fade and lose its bright colors. True, a special washing machine and a chemical solution, however, this can already be attributed to additional costs.

Unfortunately, the bright juicy colors of the self-leveling 3D floor can fade over time.

The cost of a 3D floor starts at 1,600 rubles per square meter.

Living bathroom floor

But for real, without any exaggeration, the designers created a living bathroom floor from pieces of oceanic and forest globular moss. Such a rug can only be used in rooms with high humidity: bathrooms or near the pool, he also does not like direct sunlight.

A rug made from different types of moss is best used in the bathroom or by the pool

The moss rug is very soft, extremely pleasant to the touch, at the proper level of humidity it remains green for as long as necessary, does not require time-consuming maintenance. The only thing is that you need to make sure that microorganisms do not start in it.

The cost of such a living bath rug is high - from 8 thousand rubles per square meter, however, the designers note that by buying a special substrate for plants and planting forest moss, you can create such a masterpiece yourself.

If you wish, you can become a real designer and create a moss rug with your own hands

Of course, not all of these interior design innovations will be appropriate in an ordinary apartment. However, the fantasies of masters offering such unusual things and materials can only be envied, and some of them can be called not only beautiful and fashionable, but also functional.

Interactive interior design of living quarters, school classrooms, offices, hospitals and other institutions is a fashionable trend of the future. Which gradually becomes a part of the present.
A couple of years ago, interactive LED wallpaper from Ingo Maurer and Architects Paper aroused considerable interest of potential users. Available for purchase - at a fabulous price of over 2.5 thousand euros per roll. And they are capable of literally transforming the interior of the room, changing the color and shape of the luminous ornaments. Acting at the same time as soft lighting devices.

Technology continues to evolve and the choice of basic interactive materials for interior decoration is expanding. The next solution was wallpaper based on E Ink Prism electronic ink from E Ink Holdings.

However, they can be called wallpaper with a big stretch - rather, these are panels for decorating walls or ceilings. Slightly reminiscent of their floor construction. And endowed with the ability to change color and pattern in accordance with a given program, thanks to the use of electronic ink technology.

According to the announcement, fully programmable wallpaper based on E Ink Prism electronic ink is capable of providing an infinite number of shades and patterns on the surface they decorate. It can be walls, ceiling or both at the same time.
It is necessary to connect such panels to the mains or rechargeable batteries: however, the developers guarantee their minimum power consumption. As for changing the design of the wallpaper, it can be set at the request of the user from third-party devices, in real time. Or depend on certain external conditions, be it light, sound, presence, etc.

The possible price of an unusual material - based on electronic ink - has not yet been announced by the developers. One can only assume that it will be high enough. What will make E Ink Prism a relevant solution for the decoration, first of all, of offices of large companies, hotels, design studios and other commercial enterprises.
And only then, as the cost becomes cheaper, interactive electronic panels can be used in the interior of apartments and private houses. Changing the design of the walls and ceiling at any time - at the slightest desire.

What interesting things did wallpaper manufacturers prepare in 2014? We will tell you about wallpapers with unusual properties: magnetic wallpapers, interactive wallpapers, LED wallpapers, facade wallpapers. We will also tell you about the latest trends and fresh ideas in wallpaper design.

Wallpaper as a practical and aesthetic decorative wall coveringare experiencing a new surge in popularity. Inexpensive and quite diverse in design material, wallpaper allows you to experiment with color, texture, pattern, visual effects on the way to creating a cozy and harmonious home environment. Innovative engineering solutions and technologies, volumetric design and flight of design imagination are a "fresh wind" breathing into a traditional coating with a long history new life... What is so extraordinary that wallpaper manufacturers offer in 2014?

Wallpaper with unusual properties

Magnetic wallpaper

Wall decoration is an expensive and time-consuming thing; it does not imply a frequent change of "decorations". But with magnetic wallpaper, you can quickly and easily transform appearance premises. Wallpaper with magnetic properties is a fundamentally new decorative material in interior design. They differ from standard finishes in the presence of a specific coating - ferritic vinyl, applied to a paper base. There are a lot of options for the execution of this original finishing material - from monochromatic solutions to canvases covered with a complex pattern. They are accompanied by a set of decorative magnets that match the background in style and color.

An entertaining game with magnetic wallpaper is a good alternative to watching endless cartoons on TV. Developing a baby in early childhood, such wallpapers will also help him, as an adult, organize himself in elementary school.

A great place to use such wall decoration is the interiors of children's rooms, because children like to constantly change something, so that wallpaper with a magnetic layer becomes part of an unusual game that entertains and develops the child. Kids can create their own stories by interacting with fairytale characters - flying pigs, sheep and frogs, moving them along the wall. But not only the gaming moment is available with such a coating - by pasting the workplace area with magnetic wallpaper, you can use them as a reminder board and place, say, a schoolboy's schedule or daily routine. At leisure, the child will be able to play with magnets, alternating between educational activities and an exciting game.

Interactive digital wallpaper

Expanding the scope of wallpaper, engineers and designers are trying not only to make everyday life more comfortable, but also to diversify it with vivid impressions and emotions. Not so long ago, the Austrian company Strunk introduced a revolutionary digital wallpaper. The wall covering is original in that it can reproduce any image - not only static, but also dynamic. Visual images are generated by a projector located under the ceiling and displayed on the wall. Another company, High-Low Tech, has gone even further in mastering new technologies by integrating various sensors and devices into traditional wallpapers. Integrated in decorative trim the intelligent system includes: lighting elements, audio, network interface, sound generator and more. You just need to touch the desired area on the wallpaper with your hand and the covering will begin to regulate the room temperature, light level or sound level.

Having interesting design, digital wallpaper will not only decorate the room, but also perform many useful functions - from lighting to heating a room. "Smart system" is activated by simple finger touches of certain zones on the wall

Another kind of not regular wallpaper called "Virtual Bouquet" was invented by the Chinese designer Shi Yang. When you touch the finish and heat it with the warmth of your hands to a temperature of 25 degrees, pink buds appear in the ornate pattern of green branches, and if the temperature rises even further - up to 35 degrees, the flowers begin to bloom.

Special educational digital wallpaper was created to decorate children's rooms - they allow kids to take an interactive journey through a magical forest. The cover identifies the child's presence and begins to create animated images of the animals.

Wallpaper with LED backlight

Meystyle has combined 2 in 1 - now wallpaper and lamps are one whole. Thin LED fibers are integrated into the embossed pattern of the wall material and are designed to spread a soft glow in a small radius. Some wallpaper options are equipped with Swarovski crystals - refracting through the edges of tiny pebbles, light rays create unusual patterns of light and shadow on the planes of the walls, stream, floor. Wallpaper combined with a lighting system is an excellent energy-saving solution for illuminating rooms at night. The shimmering stylized pattern on the wallpaper now carries not only an aesthetic load, but also acquired practical application.

Wallpaper in neutral shades with a subtle pattern is the main theme of the collection with LED backlighting With such a decorative coating, the issue of delicate lighting in the evenings disappears by itself.

Complementing the glowing wallpaper with designer fluorescent curtains, in the evenings you can fill your home with romance and mystery. Optical fiber, "implanted" into ordinary tissue, is a storage element that accumulates solar energy during the day and releases it in the evening in the form of unobtrusive light. The French company Lumigram has created another version of the luminous curtain fabric with a different principle of operation - the LED filaments that make up its composition are connected to a power source and do not depend on the intensity of sunlight. The scope for imagination in decorating the room is endless with such curtains - the color of the textiles can be changed remotely using the remote control. When the curtains are disconnected from the power source, they turn into a regular fabric that can be washed and ironed.

Metallic wallpaper

Metallized wallpaper is not entirely new, but an actively developing trend in production decorative materials... The use of the finest foil, spraying, reinforcement - many technologies are used in order to achieve the effect of a metal surface. Depending on which metal the wallpaper imitates - gold, silver, aluminum or steel - you can achieve different goals in interior design. For example, glossy stainless steel brings a touch of modernity to the decor, while gold and silver add sophistication and chic, especially in tandem with velor, mother of pearl and Swarovski crystals.

The classic interior in shades of blue, gray and aqua looks much richer with metallic wallpaper in silver. A striking example of how modern technologies coexist harmoniously with a fairly conservative and canonized classical style

A dark wallpaper in a traditional classic style looks much more attractive with a complex damask mother-of-pearl pattern. The contrasting combination of black walls and white furniture is not a very common use of a black and white color scheme, but very successful

Metallic wallpapers, to a greater or lesser extent, have a gloss, so they visually expand the space and create a contrast with matte surfaces. The special expressiveness of interior decoration is achieved with the help of wallpaper, in which fragments of metal of a warm palette (gold, brass, copper, bronze) are combined with blue, green, violet shades, and cold colors (steel, aluminum, cast iron) - with yellow, red, orange tones. Metallic inclusions in wallpaper are combined with many background colors and, as a rule, act as an accent.

Metallic wallpaper that combines the glitter of gold with rich black - the development of designer Karim Rashid for the company "Marburg". A fairly modern wallpaper pattern perfectly coexists with ethnic details of the interior and fills the room with luxury

Facade wallpaper

Have you always thought that wallpaper is only for interior decoration? But Wall & Deco decided to break the accepted dogma and created a collection of OUT wallpapers for the exterior walls of the building in various styles, with interesting textures and bright images. This is a completely new look at the finishing of facades - now your home will be visible from afar. A nondescript blank wall will immediately transform - from boring and indifferent it will turn into an expressive accent plane. Wood and metal, frescoes and architectural details - the whole range of imitations is presented in this collection. Resistant to various influences, facade wallpaper can also be used for pasting walls of balconies, loggias, terraces and for interior decoration - in bathrooms, saunas, swimming pools, kitchens.

Filigree decor in oriental style gives the facade wallpaper an expressive color, combining the once blank wall with the sky and the sea thanks to the delicate nuances of blue

Contrast wallpaper for facade walls in black and white, they contain drawn architectural elements - this "crushes" a dead surface and gives it a more natural look

Fresh ideas in wallpaper design

Wallpaper with digital printing

Digital printing on wallpaper is a fashionable trend in wall decoration, which creates the basis for a striking design unlike any other and allows you to "play" with graphics, color combinations, optical illusions. At Heimtextil-2014, Hewlett-Packard introduced a new collection of wallpapers printed using the HP Wallart application, a program available to everyone. Having invented your own wallpaper design in the Wallart environment using photos, drawings, symbols, you can practice the role of an artist and add a personal touch to the decoration of your living environment. The inexpressive walls, decorated with wallpaper with 3D printing, will turn into a spectacular decoration of the room, in a spectacular and impressive accent.

Digital printed 3D wallpaper from HP is the wall finish for the bold. Dynamic and somewhat unearthly shapes in rich luminescent shades - such wallpapers need space for harmonious perception

Futuristic wallpaper with visual illusions

A couple of years ago, Zaha Hadid's architectural studio developed four exclusive collections abstract wallpaper for the German company Marburg, combining technical innovations and an unusual artistic vision of the world. Remaining relevant to this day, wallpaper from Zaha Hadid is a perspective image of geometric fluid forms that create the illusion of dynamics and movement. Four color schemes are characteristic for these completely extraordinary collections of wallpapers:

1. Elastika is a layering of rich berry tones combined with silver, white, black, copper and deep greens.
2. Stria is a bold graphic design that creates the effect of breaking through a wall plane with silver and gray wavy spirals.
3. Swirl - a fusion of "petrol" rainbow colors with warm red and cold gray tones.
4. Cellular - the effect of volumetric voids with a gradation of black on a white-silver background.

Zaha Hadid suggests adding light futurism with a predominance of rich colors to the design of the walls. The collection of 3D wallpaper she created for the Marburg company is an unusual shape woven from the finest transitions of tones and flowing volumes

Wallpaper "destroying" space

Decorating walls with digital photos of landscapes, architecture, plants is a "new-old" trend in the world of wallpaper. In the article we already mentioned this trend in interior decoration. Why did designers extract such an old-fashioned technique of filling the wall plane from the grandmother’s chest? Probably because 3D wallpapers create spectacular, eye-pleasing optical illusions and refresh home design with realistic pictures of life. In addition to a powerful aesthetic accent, images of nature soothe and relax, as well as create an illusory “breakthrough” of space, expanding the boundaries of the room. 3D wallpaper along with mirrors is an effective tool in decorating small rooms, allowing you to visually increase their volume.

Rocky mountains, a wheat field or the seaside - each has a corner of nature where you feel easy and comfortable. So why not create a similar oasis of dreams in your home with wallpaper? You will immediately feel how it will become much easier to breathe indoors.

Watercolor wallpaper

Black Crow Studios has developed a colorful and slightly extravagant wallpaper design, giving them a completely unique look with abstract painting. The watercolor painting technique gives the walls a certain airiness, while simultaneously filling them with colors and dynamics through subtle color transitions. But it’s better not to cover all the walls with such wallpaper - the room will become somewhat overloaded, but creating an emphasis on one of the planes in a monochrome or “white” interior is quite possible.

Creative people will like abstract watercolor painting in wallpaper design. Saturated and, at the same time, transparent paints add expressive color to the decoration of the walls

An interesting solution for rooms with low ceilings is finishing with one-color wallpaper with a watercolor stretch of tone - from dark at the bottom to almost white at the top. Such a gradation of color looks fresh and elegant. Watercolor wallpaper is a combination of traditional painting technique and modern approach to wall decoration. They will favorably emphasize and classic style in the interior, and any interior in the postmodern style.

The multifaceted palette of shades of blue already carries a powerful charge of freshness, and in combination with watercolor technique it becomes even more airy and light. The nuanced gradation of tone from intense color to white is an excellent technique for visually raising the level of the ceiling, combined with any design style - from country to minimalism

Cinematic wallpaper

Pixers art studio has created a catchy "cinematic" collection of self-adhesive vinyl wallpapers, made in a peculiar mosaic technique. Thanks to the colorful triangles and rhombuses that make up the movie mosaic, these bright and bold wallpapers do not look like ordinary movie posters or posters. Characters of iconic films placed on the wall can revive the interior of even the most prosaic and nondescript room. But it is imperative to take into account the nuance that for a harmonious perception of such a large contrasting pattern, a considerable area is needed - in small rooms such a composition would not be entirely appropriate.

Cinema fans now have the opportunity to put on the wall images of their favorite characters in the style of pop art. Open colors, unusual mosaic stylization - everything in these wallpapers suggests that they will perfectly brighten up the monotony of black and white interiors

Wallpaper imitation

As we already wrote in the article “9 fashion trends in wallpaper design”, the use of wallpaper-imitations for wall decor is one of the most active techniques in interior decoration. Expensive materials - leather, marble, wood, fur and others, which seemed almost unattainable, with wallpaper-imitations become realities. If it is necessary to visually expand the internal space and give the room depth - here, trick wallpapers with the effect of the presence of niches, bookshelves, doors, windows, and other architectural details will be very useful.

Starting with the imitation of trivial surfaces of stone, plaster and fabric, the designers of famous wallpaper brands have gone further in their creativity - modern wallpaper collections are filled with extraordinary solutions for wall decoration. Complex leather upholstery, aged wood, metal covered with rust - there are tons of textures for an unlimited search for "zest" for wall decoration

Black and white wallpaper

How you can decorate a living space that is almost devoid of furniture is a backfill question for many. Surprisingly, the simplest solution in this case is decorating the walls with black and white wallpaper with a complex pattern that imitates three-dimensional architectural details, furniture, stairs, lamps, windows and other elements that can divide and fill the space of the room. Drawn wallpapers in black and white are replete with small details, for this reason they look quite realistic, despite being monochrome.

Drawings in antique style or comics - contrasting wallpapers for walls in black and white colors always look advantageous, filling the interior with missing touches. If there is practically no furniture in the room, it does not matter, wallpaper with the image of all the attributes for life will fill this gap

Wallpaper Stickers

A non-standard solution for wallpaper decor is vinyl stickers that give everyone room for creativity. Having picked up a background wall covering in a preferred color, you can stick on it any decorative motif in the form of a vinyl sticker that can be moved over time. Such wallpaper design will never get bored, because it can be changed and supplemented, bringing variety to the interior design.

Contrast notes in the decoration of the walls will make vinyl wallpaper stickers of various shapes, colors and styles. Floral motifs, household utensils, numbers and letters - wallpaper makers provide a wide range of wall design solutions with self-adhesive elements

Wallpaper for furniture updates

After the repair, there are always scraps of wallpaper, which are both a pity to throw away, and there seems to be nowhere to apply. Far from a new idea of \u200b\u200busing leftover wallpaper to renew old furniture, it is still relevant again. Redesigning old furniture with wallpaper is the simplest and most easily accomplished task. Refreshing your obsolete headboard, chest of drawers or wardrobe, covering damaged fragments of shelves or doors at no extra cost - all this is quite feasible using ordinary wallpaper. Freshly finished companion wallpaper (in a single colors, but with a different pattern) well-worn furniture will look like a work of art and will perfectly fit into the country or Provence style.

Do not rush to throw away old furniture - solid wood cabinets and sideboards updated with wallpaper will last longer than modern structures made of chipboard and plywood

Current market building materials is so rich and multifaceted that, at times, it is difficult to understand and do right choice in favor of this or that type of wallpaper. Initially, decide in which color you would like to purchase the wallpaper, not forgetting about important principle in decoration: warm shades are good for poorly lit rooms, cold - for sunny. Correctly evaluate the dimensions of the room - the saturation of the color of the wallpaper and the size of the picture will depend on them. Do not turn your home into a faceless box of beige color - feel free to experiment and fantasize. If the room is small, it is better to choose a darker floor and medium color saturation of the walls, so that all the planes of the room are clearly read. Highlight the accent wall with wallpaper with catchy decor, make the rest plain or paste over with companion wallpaper. Add a couple of interesting details to the design - pillows, vases, paintings, which are combined with wallpaper in style and color scheme. We hope that you will be able to create a cozy atmosphere at home - a corner where you will want to return again and again.

Victoria Kutas, rmnt.ru

No wonder the flight of imagination of designers is considered limitless, because thanks to their creativity and originality of thought, unique materials appear, in the literal sense of the word, striking with their fantastic properties. Chinese designer Shi Yuan, constantly surprising with unusual designs, and this time amazed everyone with his invention. This is a blooming wallpaper for walls, a unique kind of interior decoration.

The story of the appearance of live wallpaper

You can find other names - live wallpaper for walls, or heat-sensitive. Their feature is "blooming", or a change in the color of the pattern arising from the effect of positive temperature values \u200b\u200bon the surface of the decorative coating.

For example, at an ambient temperature of + 15 ° C, small buds appear on a pattern, most often floral. When the temperature background of + 25 ° C is reached, buds of unimaginable beauty begin to grow and bloom on the stems, and at + 35 ° C, live wallpaper for the walls replaces slightly loose buds with lush flowers.

How does this effect occur? The answer to this question lies in the supersensitive reactive paint, which covers the surface of the canvases.

For blooming wallpaper with heat-sensitive paint to bloom to its fullest, it is not necessary to wait for the onset heating season or the arrival of a sultry summer. To do this, just lean your palm against the pattern or turn on the electric radiator, and the brightness and riot of colors will move you to a flower meadow.

To decorate the material to the maximum extent, it is best to glue blooming wallpaper on the wall near heating appliances or on areas exposed to periodic exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Live wallpapers on the wall, or rather, the idea of \u200b\u200btheir creation, arose at the turn of the 70s. It was then that mood rings were introduced to the world, which are ordinary rings that can change their shade from the effects of human body temperature.

The reactive dyes used by Shi Yuan contain crystals similar to those used in the design of mood rings.

The benefits of blooming wallpaper

Heat-sensitive wallpapers are characterized by excellent wear resistance and durability. Along with this, the material is lightfast. In addition, as noted earlier, it is the sun's rays that can "revive" the decorative base.

At the same time, ultraviolet light does not in any way affect the visible part of the pattern, allowing you to preserve the original color and performance characteristics.

Vapor permeability is another plus in the piggy bank of the material. By sticking live wallpaper on the walls in the apartment, you can not be afraid for the occurrence of mold and fungal microorganisms, because the finest structure and its ability to steam exchange reduces the risk of accumulation of condensate vapor on the surface to almost zero.

Along with this, it is worth noting good moisture resistance. However, it is still not recommended to design wet rooms with them, since there is a possibility of thinning of the heat-sensitive paint and its complete washing off, which will lead to the further impossibility of “blooming” the paintings. In other words, they will lose their decorative properties.

You can stick blooming wallpaper on the wall yourself. Their installation is completely identical to work with conventional wallpaper linens and does not require specialized skills and tools from the master. Cutting of cuts is carried out using the most convenient means, most often, scissors or a knife.

The most important advantage that distinguishes these articles among the entire spectrum of wallpaper on the construction market is their decorative effect.

At the moment, a Chinese designer simply does not exist similar to this fantastically beautiful development. Magic flowers blooming under the influence of positive temperatures fill the room with the feeling of constant summer and warmth.

It is especially pleasant to watch the inception of flowering, when a lush and bright flower grows from a small bud in a matter of seconds. The presentation of the canvases is in no way inferior to the now popular 3D stereoscopic wallpaper.

disadvantages

Alas, blooming wallpapers with heat-sensitive paint and imperfections are not without. The most significant of them is the possible non-ecological compatibility. This is primarily due to the lack of certificates indicating the safety of wall coverings.

Moreover, the effect of the paint is rather doubtful. It is this that causes concern among specialists about the possible release of harmful substances directly during heating.

In addition, by pasting live wallpapers on the wall, it is almost impossible to achieve a 100% blooming reaction. That is, only areas located close to heating devices or in places exposed to sunlight will be able to please with a riot of colors. The uneven flowering is unlikely to look very aesthetically pleasing.

The high cost of paintings is another minus. Their cost ranges from 1500 to 3000 p. per m 2.

As already specified, sticking live wallpaper on the walls in the apartment is quite simple, so self-installation here is the most appropriate.

The gluing procedure begins with the alignment of the base - it is subjected to a double primer treatment. After that, the direct installation of previously cut strips is carried out in accordance with the geometry of the room. The application of the adhesive is possible both on the plane itself and on the cut of the roll.

Unusual ideas that seemed fabulous and unrealistic from the outside, thanks to the courage and originality of the designers' thoughts, are brought to life.

Blooming wallpaper for walls is a very good solution for decoration decorative panel or a separate section of the wall located near the radiator. Finishing the entire room with such material can be called unjustified.

Twenty years ago, most computer users racked their eyes over 14-inch monitors. Now screens and the widest diagonals are quite affordable at prices. If desired, you can turn the wall into a monitor. Here are a few modern digital walls we will tell you today.
