Wallpaper with paint is a great opportunity to make your wildest fantasies come true

Modern possibilities do not stand still, and today we can boast of unique and innovative interior finishing capabilities. The unusual glowing wallpaper caught my attention. I would like to share with you my knowledge and thoughts on this topic.


Themed accessories and 3D wallpaper, as in the photo, will give you an unforgettable experience. Your nights will become brighter

Wallpaper that emits a glow is a specialized finishing material that is attractive. It emits a diffuse and gentle glow at the slightest dimming of the light. These wallpapers look spectacular at night.

Today, such innovations are presented in two options:

  1. The drawings are made using phosphor paint . I note that they do not contain phosphorus. The principle of operation is to accumulate daylight or artificial light into energy, which will be returned in the dark. Most often you can find green, blue, yellow and orange shades.
  2. The drawings are made using phosphor and fluorescent paint . This combination allows you to create the most realistic images. It holds well, is wear-resistant, and is not damaged by light mechanical impact.


The wallpaper looks equally good with the lights on or off

You can create glow-in-the-dark wallpaper yourself. You just need to apply phosphor paint to the walls. You can use stencils and other objects to apply the design. Manufacturers assure that the paint is completely safe for human health and is not allergenic.

Finishing features

Wallpaper with a lighting effect is made from non-woven fabrics, thick paper, or is a polymer coating on non-woven fabric. In this case, first a drawing is applied to the canvas - an image that is visible in daylight. Then the contour lines are treated with a special pigment, and as a result a 3D effect is created.

The sizes of the product vary, it is not difficult to choose the right model among the current proposals - a panel with compact parameters or a large-scale canvas covering the entire wall. According to the version they are distinguished:

  • Rolled luminous 3D wallpaper is used in wall decoration. Most often, one of the wall surfaces of the room is decorated, and the design of the rest uses ordinary wallpaper with a neutral color scheme. Often, a panel is created on the basis of a roll covering, framing the allocated area with a baguette. Finishing is relevant in zoning the space of a room - with the help of a coating with an unusually effective decor it is easy to distinguish the leisure or sleeping area from the living room;
  • narrative canvases - fragments are used to create a luminous composition with a separate motif on a different topic. Genre wallpaper is used both in the design of walls and ceilings. Models depicting the galaxy, the depths of the sea, urban architecture, and colorful landscapes are especially popular.

When choosing luminous wallpaper for a nursery, take into account the age and gender of the child: girls will like the decor with beautiful princesses, stars, hearts and flowers, and boys will appreciate stories with fantastic characters and brutal heroes from comics.

FAQ

How do stereoscopic wallpapers differ from the familiar photo wallpapers?

Photo wallpaper is a simple photograph that is depicted on a canvas. The 3D option creates a three-dimensional effect, turning the picture into a three-dimensional image, which becomes an integral part of the room and the main decorative element.

Is it possible to wash stereoscopic wallpaper?

The instructions say that the 3D wallpaper can be washed! At the same time, according to the manufacturers, the clarity of the design and the brightness of the colors are maintained throughout the entire warranty period - up to 20 years.

We used to have photo wallpapers in our room and the cat tore them apart literally within a month. How resistant is wallpaper to cat claws?

Stereo wallpapers are radically different from previously popular photo wallpapers. They are made from high-quality, dense materials. Therefore, they are quite resistant to damage, even to cat claws.

Types of luminous wallpaper

Depending on the characteristics of production, all luminous wallpaper can be divided into two types:

  • luminescent;
  • fluorescent.

Luminescent wallpaper

To make such wallpaper, phosphor paint is used, which contains phosphorus. Particles of matter accumulate energy during the day, releasing it in the evening, which is accompanied by a pleasant dim glow, which, as a rule, has a shade from green and blue to orange and yellow. Manufacturers claim that this paint is completely safe for human health, but wallpaper of this type can be found less and less often on sale.

If you want, you can create luminous wallpaper with your own hands, using non-woven wallpaper for painting as a basis. This requires special paint, appropriate stencils and a little imagination.

Fluorescent wallpaper

Such wallpaper is made by applying a pattern using multi-printing to a non-woven fabric based on polyester. The dyes and fluorescent powder used to create the image are absolutely safe for health. It turns out that during the day, fluorescent wallpaper looks like ordinary wallpaper, but when lighting conditions change and depending on the presence of appropriate lighting, a beautiful three-dimensional luminous pattern begins to appear.

When evening comes, the design on such wallpaper receives slightly luminous contours, but the design is fully revealed at night when special fluorescent BLB lamps are operating. They differ from ordinary ones by the presence of black coating on the inside. Of course, the fact that fluorescent wallpaper requires the use of additional elements is a minus, but this drawback is insignificant, since in the end it is possible to achieve an incredible effect. The pattern on the wallpaper seems three-dimensional and can easily become the highlight of the interior. It is recommended to install lamps no closer than 1 m to the corner of the room.

Luminous wallpaper, no matter what type it is, is recommended to be used only in fairly spacious rooms, or to decorate only one wall or part of it with their help. Otherwise, it will be impossible to fully enjoy the glow of the wallpaper, and the light from it will be too bright and irritating. Glowing wallpaper is often used in entertainment establishments: nightclubs, cafes and restaurants. In residential premises, such finishing is widely used: from bedrooms and living rooms to children's rooms.

LED wallpaper

The first mention of LED wallpaper appeared in 2006. Today this material is more of a promising development, but since it can also emit light, it is worth mentioning. The peculiarity of this material is the use of LED chips that are integrated into the base material. Thanks to them, the landscapes and drawings depicted on the wallpaper come to life and, moreover, become an additional source of lighting. After the advent of this technology, many large wallpaper manufacturers became interested in it and predict its widespread use in the future, but for now LED wallpaper remains very expensive, and they cannot be found on sale.

Gluing luminous wallpaper

To glue such wallpaper, you don’t need to be a great master; even a beginner can handle this job. The main thing is to buy wallpaper glue suitable for a specific type of material and properly prepare the work surface.

To the ceiling

You need to completely remove the previous decorative coating from the ceiling - remove the wallpaper, scrape off the paint or whitewash with a spatula. Then all cracks and holes are puttied, the surface is leveled with coarse sandpaper and covered with primer. It is better to do all the work while standing on the table, because... The stepladder is narrow and uncomfortable.

Roll wallpaper needs to be measured and cut, but with story wallpaper it is easier - they are cut right away. To glue products to the ceiling, you need to dilute a thicker glue than for walls. You need to saturate the panel with glue and coat the area. After a few minutes you can get to work: wallpaper is glued from the left corner of the room to the center. The canvas is first pressed with your hands, and then smoothed from the middle to the edges. Subject sheets need to be joined, rolled sheets with a chaotic pattern can be glued overlapping. To mark the boundary between the ceiling and the wall, you can use a thin ceiling plinth.

On the wall

The walls are prepared in the same way as the ceiling. First you need to remove the remnants of the old wallpaper. If they do not come off easily, they can be moistened with water. Then the surface is puttied and primed. You need to try to make it as even as possible.

Roll wallpaper with a chaotic pattern is glued from the corner to the center. This is the most profitable option, because sheets with geometric patterns or large images need to be joined, and a lot of leftovers have to be thrown away. Canvases with a plot pattern should be glued from the center of the room to the corners

Examples

To get a more complete idea of ​​what fluorescent wallpaper looks like when glued to the ceiling, you can view several photo examples presented below. The most popular drawing options are shown here, of which, of course, there are much more than can be shown in one article.

Features of use

Wall coverings with a 3D effect will make the interior of absolutely any room unforgettable. So, in the living room you can create a cozy summer cafe, in the nursery - your favorite scene from a fairy tale, in the bedroom - endless fields with beautiful flowers. In the bathroom you can depict the bank of a quiet and thoughtful river.

It is important to remember that the image used must be combined with the decor of the room. Don't forget about the size of the room itself.

Wallpaper for walls with a 3D effect can visually expand the area of ​​a room if it is small. Remember that the image on 3D wallpaper becomes voluminous at a sufficiently large distance between the viewer and the surface of the canvas.

Therefore, it is not recommended to use 3D wall coverings in tiny rooms. But with their help you can easily divide a large room into functional zones.

Types of 3D wallpaper:

  1. Panoramic wall covering.
  2. Single.
  3. Standard.

A positive fact: such wallpaper is fire resistant. They are impregnated with a special composition that prevents ignition. 3D wallpaper is easy to maintain. Their surface can be easily cleaned by using water and any non-abrasive detergent.

In addition to walls, they can be used to decorate the surface of the ceiling. Recreate a piece of the night sky dotted with many stars, a beautiful galaxy, or just a clear sky with small clouds. This design solution will give the room originality and exclusivity.

What 3D wallpaper might look like

If the ornaments on the walls blend into one another or the color changes smoothly, then the illusion of movement arises. You can install an additional window in the room and choose the view from it to suit your taste. Looking out the window, you will admire not the neighboring high-rise building or bus stop, but, for example, the Champs Elysees or the rural landscape.

But there cannot be any settings; you choose only what you like. You have to be in such an environment. 3D wallpaper is a material for the flight of design ideas and any fantasies. After placing an image of a mountain with stones rolling on the wall, place a sofa next to it. It is not visible where exactly the stones fall, but we understand that there is an abyss there. The impression is this: push the sofa a little and it will also roll down.

If you glue wallpaper to the door, then the path will run straight through a flowering meadow. In the children's room, the child will not be afraid in the evening, as he will be surrounded by friends - his favorite fairy-tale characters. Fish, dolphins or a lighthouse are appropriate in the bathroom or pool. The most popular themes are “Space” and “Underwater World”.

3D wallpaper for walls White roses

Beauty and comfort are an integral part for any person. Thanks to modern technologies and computer modeling, today it is possible to change and transform any room with the help of 3D wallpaper. Three-dimensional images on wide-format wallpaper create a three-dimensional effect.

With their help, you can realize your wildest fantasies in the interior. For example, if you have always dreamed of a house by the sea, but the dream was not destined to come true, you can create the illusion of a sea coast at home. Pasting 3D wallpaper with the corresponding image will help with this.

The pattern on them can be chosen to suit your taste, taking into account the interior of the room or premises. If desired and financially possible, 3D wallpaper can be developed according to your sketch or photograph, and then modeled to suit a specific interior.

It is also worth paying special attention to the fact that the process of pasting walls is somewhat different from the technology used for ordinary wallpaper. In this regard, it is more advisable to leave this difficult task to a qualified specialist.

Beautiful 3D wallpaper for walls

In addition, the price of three-dimensional coating is also much higher. Therefore, when you decide to take on the job yourself, remember the folk wisdom that says that a miser pays twice.

Add night colors

Absolutely new for 2022 - wallpaper that has a fluorescent effect. They have become a real hit for bedrooms. They will replace night lights in children's rooms; illuminated drawings of favorite characters will help the child cope with the fear of the dark, if he had one.

The night sky will be a great accent for a teenager’s room, and natural motifs will add romance to an adult’s bedroom.

Current areas of application

Spectacular decoration with glowing stars in the galaxy or an impressive view of earthly nature is used in the design of premises for various purposes:

  • in the bedroom - they decorate the ceiling space, the wall above the bed or the surface opposite to enjoy the fantastic beauty of the glow before bed;
  • in the nursery - a fabulous three-dimensional composition with small reflective fragments or a canvas with a starry galaxy will organically fit into interiors with an atmosphere of carefree childhood;
  • in the living room - a luxurious image with a luminous effect is an original accent of the interior; the main thing is to choose the right place for the decor. By decorating a ceiling or wall with a 3D photoluminescent coating, they solve two problems at once: it is a respectable interior decoration and an additional source of diffused light;
  • entrance area - the ceiling in the corridor is often decorated with stylish narrative canvases with a fluorescent coating.

Three-dimensional luminous wallpaper, despite the fact that it is sold in an expensive segment, is popular in the design of urban interiors and houses outside the city. This is a bright note in home design, which in daylight delights with images with realistic volumes, and in a darkened space fascinates with its fantastic radiance.

Grunge

The “Grunge” style in 2022 bursts into interiors from the catwalks and takes the palm from the “Loft” style. Unlike its predecessor, "Grunge" is not an industrial style.

And, although the wallpaper also uses the technique of an aged, untreated surface, it does not look like an old workshop, but rather like deliberate negligence and disregard for established norms.

This style is suitable for creative individuals. The apparent chaos in the decoration is actually the painstaking work of designers who created images in which even the smallest detail is in its place.

For adherents of the classic style, such wallpaper may seem wild, because after renovation the room looks as if it has been actively used for many years, however, this is a real trend, and with the appropriate furniture and accessories, this decoration will become a real highlight.

Types of wallpaper with glow effect

There are two main types of finishes, which differ in the method of production.

Glowing wallpaper with a pattern of phosphor paint

The composition does not contain phosphorus compounds and has the following features:

  • in the daytime it accumulates the energy of natural light, in the dark it returns the accumulated energy in the form of a diffused glow;
  • the colors of the radiation vary in green and blue, a warm palette of yellow-orange shades;
  • Luminescent wallpaper provides additional illumination of the space at night and helps create a cozy environment with dim light.

Phosphor paints, according to manufacturers, do not pose a danger to human health and the environment. The market offers a variety of trellises with luminous images, but if you wish, it is easy to make your own coating of an exclusive design based on ordinary wallpaper, having a set of stencils and luminescent paints.

Fluorescent wallpaper with 3D effect

Fluorescent wallpaper with a 3D effect is a coating that in daylight looks like a luxurious finish with a three-dimensional image, and in the dark it impresses with the fantastic glow of individual patterns and contours, striking the imagination with the originality of the design solution. 3D wallpaper with light decorative elements has the following features:

  • the technology includes applying images with compositions containing fluorescent pigments;
  • To fully reveal the glow effect, it is necessary to use special lighting - a Wood lamp. The waves of this black light source are reflected on the fluorescent paint, and the coating begins to glow mesmerizingly;
  • In order for the fluorescent coating to delight you with a fantastic glow for a long time, you should protect it from direct sunlight.

To decorate the ceiling, most often they choose a luminous finish with a three-dimensional pattern in the form of a star galaxy, outer space with planets. In children's design, 3D effects depicting fantasy scenes with a spaceship, fairy-tale characters or favorite movie characters of small households are relevant.

Metallic

In the new decade, wallpaper with a metallic effect is more relevant than ever. Moreover, both smooth wallpaper imitating a metal sheet and textured wallpaper painted with metallized paints are equally good. The choice of shade depends only on preferences, but in the first place are silver and graphite.

However, it is not recommended to cover a room entirely with graphite wallpaper, so that the atmosphere does not turn out gloomy and oppressive. It is also recommended to combine glossy and matte textures.

Glowing wallpaper format

Today, luminous wallpapers are presented on the market in several formats, so that they can be used in rooms of any size and to implement a wide variety of interior ideas. So, luminous wallpaper can be found in the following types:

  • single drawing. In size, such wallpaper is more likely to resemble a large picture and is suitable for small rooms, or for zoning space or highlighting individual areas of the room. So paintings can have different sizes; a common format is 1.2 * 1.46 m;
  • roll wallpaper. The size corresponds to other types of wallpaper; as a rule, they use a repeating abstract or geometric pattern as a pattern, which does not require adjustment. Such wallpaper is often used for installation on only one wall, but often all walls in the room are finished with this material;
  • Genre wallpapers are distinguished by the presence of a pattern with a specific plot. This material is used not only to organize the wall space, but also for the ceiling;
  • panoramic wallpaper is a material with an even larger and often fantasy pattern. This finish is only suitable for spacious rooms where you can see all the beauty of the wallpaper. The size of panoramic wallpaper can reach 3*5 m or more.

Often, luminous D wallpapers are included in a separate group, which even during the day delights with a three-dimensional three-dimensional pattern, and in the evening, under certain lighting, it becomes even more realistic due to the glow.

Unusuality

No restrictions, only limitless imagination. Designers advise adhering to the principle of originality in 2022.

Plain coatings need to be diluted with a contrasting insert with an interesting pattern. As an option, you can consider ethnic motifs, animal patterns and their unexpected combinations.

The times when all apartments were wallpapered with the same design: flowers for the bedroom, classics for the living room, and wallpaper with cups for the kitchen, are long gone. In order to choose fashionable wallpaper, you need to get away from standard thinking and pay attention to the most seemingly daring options.

Gluing luminous wallpaper

To glue such wallpaper, you don’t need to be a great master; even a beginner can handle this job. The main thing is to buy wallpaper glue suitable for a specific type of material and properly prepare the work surface.

It is important to measure and calculate everything correctly.

Installation of fluorescent wallpaper

The similarity in some parameters of fluorescent wallpaper with vinyl wallpaper also explains the analogy of their installation, which includes several stages.

Preparing the base

Since fluorescent wallpaper for walls or ceilings is a fairly expensive material, the preparatory stage should be taken very seriously, so that a minor unevenness does not break through the priceless wallpaper and spoil the aesthetics of the final finishing result.

The preparatory stage includes the following work:

  1. removing old wallpaper;
  2. leveling the surface, including getting rid of protruding irregularities exceeding 1 cm;
  3. coating the walls with a penetrating primer for better adhesion.

Surface pasting

For fixing fluorescent wallpaper on any surface, both vinyl wallpaper glue and PVA are quite suitable. In this case, it is necessary to dilute the glue using the instructions on the package.

It is necessary to apply the adhesive composition to the surface to be glued so that when smoothing the glue does not end up on the front side, since stains even from timely removed glue will still remain visible in the light of the lamps.

To do this, the dimensions of the wallpaper are transferred to the surface to be pasted, after which glue is applied, leaving a distance of 2 cm to the edge clear.

The wallpaper is smoothed with a polyurethane roller from the center to the edges, thereby removing bubbles and squeezing excess glue onto the edges.

If glue accidentally gets on the front side of fluorescent wallpaper, it must be blotted immediately with a damp cloth or sponge.

For 24 hours after pasting is completed, drafts must not be created, otherwise the wallpaper will not peel off the wall.

Installation of BLB lamps

It is simply impossible to achieve the maximum effect from a surface covered with fluorescent wallpaper without the correct installation of BLB lamps.

The number of lamps required largely depends on the area occupied by fluorescent wallpaper, since 1 lamp is designed to illuminate no more than 3 m² of the pasted surface. If the walls and ceiling are covered with wallpaper, then the number of lamps is calculated as the floor area divided by 3.

Installation of lamps is carried out:

for wall images - under the ceiling, 50-100 cm away from the wall;

For ceiling panoramas, lamps with an asymmetric reflector are more suitable.

Thus, lamps need to be installed so as to ensure uniform illumination of the entire image. At the same time, lamps hidden in niches will add even more mystery and charm to the interior.

Beautiful examples in the interior

There are many interesting examples of star ceilings. For example, a “sky map” in dark blue tones is an original way to decorate a teenager’s room. And the sky of soft pink tones will turn a girl’s room into a fabulous one. Also, a light stretched fabric with bright lined neon threads would look ideal in a teenage bedroom.

For a bedroom, a ceiling with a black glossy canvas would be an excellent solution. A scattering of stars can be supplemented with an image of a planet.

A multi-level ceiling with a celestial body in the middle will look gorgeous in the living room. Especially if you choose a dark purple color for the canvas. With such a ceiling, the interior will sparkle with new colors.

This is evidenced by numerous customer reviews posted online. Ceilings visually increase the space and create a special, truly magical atmosphere that attracts the eye. If you want to make your interior mysterious and extraordinarily beautiful, then stretch ceilings with cosmic images are what you need

Space-themed stretch ceilings are increasingly penetrating apartments and various establishments. This is evidenced by numerous customer reviews posted online. Ceilings visually increase the space and create a special, truly magical atmosphere that attracts the eye. If you want to make your interior mysterious and extraordinarily beautiful, then stretch ceilings with cosmic images are what you need.

Abstract drawings

Living in the age of digital and 3D technologies, it is impossible to expect that they will bypass interior design. For lovers of high-tech style, wallpaper collections have been released that allow you to turn your room into a futuristic space.

Intricate patterns, especially in light colors, will help visually expand the room. Bright shades can be chosen for the accent zone, which will set the tone for the interior and add originality.

The wallpaper design of 2022 perfectly matches modern fashion trends for high-tech style.

Main advantages and disadvantages

Glowing wallpapers have a number of advantages, due to which the demand for them is constantly growing:

  • excellent decorative qualities are the main and most important advantage of such finishing;
  • fire safety. During the manufacturing process, the coating is treated with special primers that prevent ignition and the spread of flame;
  • high wear resistance. Most often, a polymer base based on non-woven fabric is used to make the material, which perfectly resists mechanical damage. The paper base is not so wear-resistant; it is used much less frequently for making luminous wallpaper;
  • antistatic and moisture resistant. The surface of the wallpaper can even be cleaned with a damp cloth, of course, if we are talking about non-woven material.

The only downside is the price. It is not cosmic, but higher than, for example, acrylic or vinyl wallpaper.

Features of glowing wallpaper

Wallpaper that glows in the dark is made on thick paper, non-woven fabric or other durable material. Such products are several times denser and heavier than ordinary paper ones. Printing takes place in several stages: first, a design is applied, and then it is covered with a special paint or powder that glows in the dark.

They come in different widths: narrow, very compact, and large canvases that can be used to immediately cover an entire wall. The former are suitable for the interiors of small rooms, and the latter - for spacious, elongated living rooms and bedrooms. What is important here is the distance from the wall to the bed or sofa. If the luminous picture is large, then it needs to be viewed from afar - up close it appears as a spot.

All luminous wallpapers are available in two types:

  • rolls;
  • canvases.

The former are often used to decorate one wall, its lower or upper part. More often, a chaotic, repeating pattern is applied to the canvas: stars and the moon, flowers, drops of paint, geometric shapes. Such wallpapers are easy to join and can be used to cover large areas.

Photo wallpaper

Once upon a time, photo wallpapers were associated with paper canvases that depicted seascapes or forests. It was difficult to glue the paper wallpaper so that the pattern matched and the joints were not visible.

Now the situation has changed radically. Photo wallpapers are not inferior in quality to modern wallpaper in rolls and have become an integral part of fashionable interiors.

Modern wallpaper in the interior is a wonderful accent. You can choose the design as you wish and print it on the material that you like best and suits the interior.

The latest photo wallpaper designs for 2022, new items, amaze the imagination with their diversity. 3D graphics, imitation of knitted patterns, futuristic paintings, animal prints, photos of unusual flowers. All that remains is to choose a design among all this variety.

Gluing luminous wallpaper

Installing luminous wallpaper is not much more difficult than installing any other wallpaper. It all starts with preparing the base, and this stage needs to be given maximum attention, because the finished result will depend on the surface of the wall. First of all, you need to remove the old coating. To make dismantling easier, old wallpaper can be slightly wetted, and the paint can be treated with special solvents. Next, you need to carefully level the surface, getting rid of all irregularities, followed by the process of priming the base to increase adhesion.

Cutting for some luminous wallpaper is not necessary, since they are already cut into ready-made strips, which just need to be placed correctly on the wall. In this case, installation is in many ways similar to gluing photo wallpaper. If we are talking about roll luminous wallpaper, then cutting is done before gluing. To do this, you need to know the height of the ceiling and, for accuracy, measure it at several points in the room. It is better to add 2-3 cm to the resulting value and start cutting sheets of a certain length. If the pattern needs to be combined, then the manufacturer on the packaging, as a rule, indicates the allowance necessary for the correct joining of the wallpaper.

For luminous wallpaper, glue designed for vinyl wallpaper, and even PVA, is quite suitable. The composition must be prepared as written on the package. As a rule, the adhesive composition is applied to the wall, where a pre-prepared wallpaper sheet is applied, unless otherwise indicated in the installation instructions. It is better to glue a strip of wallpaper from top to bottom, carefully smoothing it with a roller from the center to the edges. Luminous wallpaper is glued end to end.

Try not to overdo it with applying glue, as after smoothing with a roller, excess glue may end up on the front side of the material.

Even if you remove them in a timely manner, these places can be visible in the light of lamps, so you need to act with extreme caution

To facilitate the installation process, you can mark the walls. From the corner of the room or from a certain point from which the luminous wallpaper will be mounted, a distance equal to the width of the canvas is set aside. A strictly vertical line is drawn along this point using a level. You can draw such lines along the entire space of the wall where the wallpaper will be pasted in order to carry out installation strictly along them. This simple preparation will ensure maximum evenness when wallpapering. After the wallpaper is glued, there should be no drafts in the room during the day. It is convenient to cut off excess wallpaper at the top and bottom using a spatula and knife.

If you have chosen fluorescent wallpaper, now is the time to install special BLB lamps. Their number directly depends on the area the wallpaper occupies: one such lamp is used for 3 m2 of luminous wallpaper. If you decide to decorate both the walls and the ceiling with luminous wallpaper, then the calculation of the number of lamps required is somewhat different: for this you will need to divide the floor surface area by three - the result obtained will correspond to the number of lamps required.

Minimalism

Strict lines, a minimum of colors and textures - a style that is suitable for those who prefer perfect order in everything.

The design of stylish wallpaper that will fully comply with the canons of minimalism is no less original. When choosing materials for a room in this style, you can be pleasantly surprised by the variety of textures.

Wallpaper can imitate any surface. And even the lightest texture will look original, adding charm and sophistication to the room.
