One way to decorate a room and also give it volume is to use a 3D pattern on an accent surface. The image will immediately become the central element of the interior, giving it the necessary mood and individuality. In addition, a three-dimensional drawing will allow you to adjust the dimensions of the space and a not entirely successful planning solution.

The selected colors will highlight the overall tone of the interior

How to create a three-dimensional image on the wall

There are several ways to create 3D decor in your home. The easiest way to implement it would be to order a finished image printed on fabric or other material. After production, you just need to fix the coating in the right place and enjoy the result.

Such 3D wall paintings can be used anywhere - in the bathroom, kitchen or living room. You just need to choose the right material on which everything will be drawn.

Another type of finished painting is a special type of wallpaper. Here you also don’t have to do anything yourself. You just need to go to the store and buy a suitable coating.

The cost of such wallpaper can vary greatly, depending on how realistic the volume effect will be.

There are coating options in which the image is complemented by special materials that imitate sand, plaster or other similar materials.

The next way to decorate your home by placing 3D drawings on its walls is to buy wallpaper with pictures painted with special paint. The effect of volume appears on them only when the picture is illuminated with ultraviolet light. Under ordinary lighting, these are undistinguishable coverings, sometimes even without visible ornaments at all.

However, as soon as you turn on the ultraviolet lamp, the image becomes three-dimensional and takes on completely different shapes.

The last type of such decor is suitable only for those who have artistic talent - to create a three-dimensional drawing on the wall with their own hands. At the same time, there are several techniques that include not only the use of paints. You can create a picture from decorative plaster, sculpt it from plaster or use the appliqué method - there are a lot of ways.

It is only important to decide which method will allow you to get the most worthy result, taking into account your own talents.

Using stencils

The stencil method allows you to decorate walls with designs of varying complexity, regardless of artistic abilities. You can create even a very complex pattern just by purchasing the appropriate stencil.

And it will take much less time to create a drawing using a stencil than with hand painting. The range of drawings obtained by this method is very wide: flowers, trees, animals, insects, abstraction, and the list goes on.

For inspiration with this painting method, we offer a master class on creating a floral ornament.

Master class: Floral print

To somehow diversify the walls and not leave them just white, decorate them with a contrasting floral pattern created using stencils.

To do this you will need the following materials:

Stencil
Paint (white for the background and contrasting, in this case bluish with a tint, for the drawing)
Brush (a small one with short, stiff bristles is best)
Painting tape (only for attaching the stencil to the wall while you work, and not asking someone to hold it)

Progress:

Clear the room by providing a comfortable approach to the wall. Apply white paint, thus creating a field for the drawing. Wait until it dries.
Place the stencil on the wall and secure it with masking tape. It must be well fixed, since if it slides after painting begins, it will be difficult to return it exactly to its previous place.

Dip the brush into the paint, then shake it out thoroughly or wipe it a little with a towel so that the paint does not drip, otherwise it may flow under the stencil and the design will be ruined. The brush should be almost dry. Start sketching the stencil.

Important: When painting, carefully watch your free hand so as not to leave fingerprints with paint on the white wall.

When the stencil is drawn and the paint has dried, move it to the next place and repeat the previous steps. Continue until you have covered the entire wall.
When the last paint has dried, place the furniture in place and enjoy the created design.

Finished goods

The simplest solution for decorating your home with a three-dimensional painting. If you choose wallpaper with this effect, you need to remember that the realism of the image directly depends on how even and smooth the base is. Therefore, the walls will have to be carefully leveled and prepared for gluing the coating.

Then everything will be no more difficult than gluing ordinary wallpaper and the process is no different from working with a standard coating of this type.

For three-dimensional patterns that appear under the influence of ultraviolet light, you will need to purchase a special lamp and connect it. In addition, the light source will need to be positioned so that it illuminates the surface completely. You will have to look for a place to install the lamp and decide how it will be mounted - permanently or temporarily.

It should be remembered that you cannot keep it on all the time, since ultraviolet radiation affects the eyes and they get tired very quickly.

Types of volumetric photo wallpapers

There are several varieties of such photo wallpapers. The simplest 3D wallpapers depict abstraction or geometric patterns.

There are also so-called single photo wallpapers with a 3D effect. On their surface, a three-dimensional image is found only in some areas, and the rest of the surface is a regular design or pattern.

Most often, panoramic photo wallpapers with three-dimensional images are used for decoration. They represent a huge picture on a specific topic and are designed for a large wall surface area.

If you want to make your interior as unusual as possible, then you will probably be interested in two more types of photo wallpaper with a 3D effect. These are fluorescent and LED wallpapers.

The first type of wallpaper in daylight looks like ordinary photo wallpaper with three-dimensional pictures, but at night, special fluorescent lamps ensure a bright glow of the picture.

LED wallpaper allows you to independently adjust the lighting and the nature of the image, and if you wish, you can completely change it to something else. In addition to such wallpaper there is a light switch and a large number of special lamps.

Attention: since the technology of such wallpaper is quite complex, the price of 3D photo wallpaper of this type will be significantly higher than others.

The cost of such wallpaper will depend on the country of origin, the complexity of the design, as well as its quality. But the average price of 3D photo wallpaper on a wall, as a rule, is about 3-6 thousand rubles per sheet with an area of 1.3 by 3.6 meters.

Self-production

Even if you draw very well, you should understand that drawing a regular and a three-dimensional drawing on the wall are two completely different tasks in terms of the complexity of the task. Even a simple pattern that does not have a volumetric effect is not easy to depict on a large surface, and working with three-dimensional paintings is much more difficult.

You will have to study the technique of applying such ornaments and practice before moving directly to decorating the walls of your home.

Decorating with really voluminous details looks much easier. They can be sculpted from gypsum mixture, decorative plaster, or created as a realistic 3D applique.

In addition to the fact that it is much easier to create something similar with your own hands, this is also the most inexpensive decorative option - the materials are not too expensive and are available at any hardware store.

If you don’t know what exactly you can draw with a 3D pen or pencil, then start with the simplest. After all, making images look realistic is not at all so difficult, check out the photo tutorial below.

Stages of creating an image:

Draw a figure using the same dimensions as shown in the photo, then select a triangle and a pentagon on the right.
Draw parallel lines from the upper and lower corners of the pentagon, focusing on them, draw longitudinal and transverse lines. You will need to make a grid inside the pentagon.
Draw steps at the bottom of the figure.
Shade several areas with a pencil and pen.
Finish shading the remaining areas of the figure.
As you can see, volume can be added to a 3D pencil drawing by using various shading techniques.

Where is the best place to draw a 3D image?

The illusory nature of space can be transferred to your home. A modern trend in design is the presence of 3D images on wallpaper, self-leveling floors and walls. Drawings made with acrylic paints have gained the greatest interest and popularity.

Their special composition allows you to convey all the shades of the picture.

Transfer of a volumetric graphic pattern on a plane

The main secret of volume is based on the “light-shadow” effect. Objects correctly positioned in the picture in relation to the light source make them visually convex or vice versa. It is thanks to the creation of a tonal transition that you can get a super-realistic image.

The glazing technique is widely used, when one or more translucent layers are applied to a color base.

Bananas

It is quite simple to imitate fruits lying on the table; there is no need to use special techniques for depicting objects. You can use 3D pens and markers to create a drawing.

Drawing technique:

Place two bananas on a piece of paper, take a simple pencil and trace the outlines.
Now you will need a black marker; draw parallel lines around the image of the banana, thus creating a three-dimensional image. The more lines you draw, the more realistic the picture will be.
Take yellow paint and paint the gaps across two lines.
Use green paint and fill in the remaining gaps. The drawing will look realistic even on a regular piece of notebook paper.

You can see more detailed instructions for performing work using this technique using the example of an alien’s hand in the video (or you can use your hand, just trace your palm and fingers with a pencil, and then follow the video instructions):

Technology for creating 3D wall drawings

A simple wall in a room can unexpectedly transform into an illusory reality. Landscape, fantastic scene, still life, fragment of a street, ancient architectural structure. The owner has the right to want to see anything in his “home” every day.

Modern developments offer a choice of three custom options:

artistic wall painting;
3D panels;
wallpapering with 3D effect.

The greatest interest is always caused by wall paintings done professionally and tastefully.

An artistic image is initially a sketch. Then, by using special main and auxiliary equipment, the design itself is applied.

Acrylic paint used in the wall painting technique is made on a polymer base. Due to its properties, it is widely used in the decoration of internal and external walls. It is easily diluted with water. After drying, it is absolutely “insensitive” to moisture. There are no toxins in the composition, that is, acrylic is harmless to others.

This is an ideal option for creating artistic “masterpieces” on the walls. By adding various special components during the process, the artist can achieve the desired 3D effect when applying paint to the wall. If necessary, it can be easily removed without leaving streaks or marks.

Before applying the design, it is advisable to use an acrylic-based primer.

Other options are also available. Oil-based paints are suitable for creating the “illusion” of the required relief. Shading with mascara is one of the classic ways to add volume to painted objects.

Wall painting technique

Applying paint to a surface to obtain a “play of light and shadow” is a procedure that requires certain skills or the presence of experienced specialists. Various technical nuances affect the quality of the entire work.

Three options are offered:

The paint for the drawing is first applied to the plaster (wet or dried).

The second method will require special tools (airbrush, materials with a fluorescent composition, pearl-colored paints, light storage devices). With its help, stylish, modern images are created.

The complexity of execution will require certain knowledge and experience. It is possible that such work is best done by a professional.

The 3D effect is created using a specially developed “volumetric” drawing technique. Another option is the presence of elements of architectural “bulges”.

Then a simple application of paints will make the drawing on the wall three-dimensional and impressive.

Methods for creating images on walls

In the first case, spatial vision skills are required. The absence of clear lines and contours in the sketch creates unusual impromptu images. It is enough to have rough sketches and be very good at using paints.

Convenient to use stencils.

The simplicity and accessibility of this technique makes it acceptable for most wall graphics lovers. Quite original colorful compositions with varied details are created. The number of stencils can vary from two to ten.

Airbrushing is the third proposed method of creating a 3D image.

Simple equipment requires the use of expensive equipment plus skills to work with it - a compression apparatus, a hose, a paint sprayer. Regular cans will not work. Great pressure prevents the creation of those very transitions, the subtlety of which determines the volume and reality of drawings on a large vertical surface.

Bold imagination and the desire to create in your own home, plus the availability of modern technologies and materials, are the key to success in creating a unique decor. Design with elements of a volumetric effect will provide a unique atmosphere for a long time.

Leveling the wall for painting

There are two ways to level the walls in an apartment - using plasterboard (“dry plaster”) and applying regular wet plaster.

The first method is much simpler than the second, and therefore is accessible to anyone, even an inexperienced builder. The second method of leveling walls requires some experience, and it is not a fact that you will be able to put the surface in order the first time.

Therefore, it is better to use plasterboard for the walls of an apartment, especially since leveling the walls with its help can be done in two different ways.

Classification of gypsum

Depending on the ratio of the volume of dry suspension to the volume of water, these types of gypsum are distinguished with different densities

1.25:1 – light;
1.75:1 – normal;
2.25:1 – dense.

It is important to know!

Average hardening time for gypsum: from 6 to 10 minutes. Therefore, you should not mix the gypsum mixture “with a reserve”, since it will not be possible to use it later.
The final volume of the gypsum mixture is approximately equal to the sum of the volumes of water and dry gypsum powder.
You should not adjust a ready-made mixture that has begun to harden by adding water or dry plaster to it. Otherwise, you will end up with defective material with low strength and astringent properties (“dead gypsum”).

Frescoes and 3D stickers

If you don’t want to paint, but want to create a unique design. Then frescoes or wall stickers will come to the rescue. The choice of options for this design is huge - from budget ones to unique ones that completely imitate ancient painting.

Original panels

Gypsum 3D panels from the Russian manufacturer Artpole Tube imitate 90 mm pipes.

If you buy them, the cost per square meter will cost 4,000 rubles.

The procedure for painting a picture on the wall with your own hands

When creating such decorations on the walls in your apartment, strictly follow the stages of technology. Let's start, as usual, by preparing the wall. This is the easiest stage. It is necessary to clean the surface of old wallpaper, paint and plaster.

At the next stage, you must re-plaster this wall and select materials for painting - a brush and paint. Regarding the latter, professional designers insist on using acrylic-based water-dispersion paint.

It is easy to apply and washes off easily.

Next you need to apply the general background. Usually it coincides with the rest of the walls of the room. We draw the outline of our future drawing on it, preferably with a pencil, so that we can correct the drawing if necessary. We do this in stages. We drew a piece and looked at it. Like? If yes, then we continue; if not, we erase and draw again. The final stage was painting the wall itself. We paint large elements with a wide brush, and details with a thin one.

Choosing ideas for wall art

Approach the choice of your design with care and scrupulousness. As a final result, the wall should fit harmoniously into the overall interior of the apartment and match the style.

What is usually used?

The image of a dandelion in front of the front door has become widespread.

It's fashionable and relevant. Black and white squares will please the eye in the living room, a branch of cherry blossoms is appropriate in the bedroom, and wood-style wall drawings with ladybugs or cartoon characters will look good in the children's room. The city at night will appeal to bachelors.

You can also paint trees on the walls of your apartment.

Designers are very fond of this particular plot, for the reason that it can be used both in the living room and in the bedroom, and even in the nursery. Why? You can choose any wood pattern you like that will fit beautifully into the overall concept of the room. In the bedroom, flowering trees or trees in the Art Nouveau style are painted, and in the living room, trees under a gust of wind are suitable.

The children's room looks great with drawings of birch trees and animals, birds in the trees.

If you love the sun and warmth, then you can draw bright flowers. They are appropriate in the kitchen and living room. Using flowers in the overall interior design, you will create a feeling of comfort, reliability and security.

Be mindful of color combinations. There is a range of colors that are created for each other, and there are also ones that are absolutely incompatible. Numerous photos and videos on the Internet will help you combine color and tone.

3D drawings on the wall are especially incredibly popular now. Such three-dimensional art can enliven and embellish any apartment interior beyond recognition. And its use in a composition with a 3D floor will exceed all expectations.

Criteria for choosing a painting for the interior

Interior design, which contains 3D paintings, has many faces. The storyline is selected taking into account the prevailing design style. The color palette of the image also matters.

When purchasing a 3D painting for your apartment or office, follow the recommendations of design experts:

Focus on the size of the room and the degree of illumination. For the interior of a small or shaded room, it is better to choose a 3D painting in light and warm colors; the presence of bright inclusions is allowed. But it’s better to avoid a dark background.
For larger rooms, slightly different design rules apply. When choosing the color palette of a 3D painting, the coloristic content of the interior is taken into account. The monotony of light walls will be diluted by a canvas with bright colors, and the diversity of the design will be neutralized by a canvas with a calm palette. If the 3D painting and the interior background are made in approximately the same colors, a contrasting baguette will help to avoid visual merging.
Maintain proportions between the size of the painting and the area of the room. A small 3D painting will get lost on the wall of a spacious room, and vice versa, large parameters of the canvas are unacceptable for small-sized interiors.
The direction of the image also matters. Vertical 3D paintings are appropriate in a room with high ceilings. It is better to decorate standard interiors with horizontal canvas.
The storyline of the 3D painting should fit into the style of the interior.

In order for the 3D painting to look harmonious on the wall of the apartment, it is important to choose the location wisely. Usually the canvas is placed at eye level

If the interior has several large canvases of different sizes on one wall, when aligning, focus on the bottom edge. This rule does not apply to modular paintings. It is worth noting that creations with a three-dimensional image effect, in principle, do not need proximity. They look self-sufficient in a single copy.

Advice! For real paintings, it is better to find a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Drawings in the children's room on the wall

This technique deserves special attention when creating the interior of a children's room. This is where you can fully use your imagination and imagination and come up with a new, original solution. You can make a drawing on both the wall and furniture. Children really like these drawings. This could be a character from your favorite cartoon or fairy tale. But there are some nuances.

We must remember that children do not like monochrome and contrast. They can cause fear and your baby will become skittish. But we have no use for it.

Therefore, all characters without exception should look colorful, be positive and kind. Drawings on the walls are well suited for the design of a small and narrow bedroom. This simple method will allow you to visually expand it and get a unique design.

Choose your color scheme carefully. For example, too dark or bright burgundy shades have a negative impact on the baby’s behavior and psyche. It is better to paint the nursery in light, pastel colors.

Stencil painting of walls in the apartment

Most of us, unfortunately, do not know how to draw something beautifully on our own, or turn to specialists and designers for help, which can sometimes be very expensive. In such cases, stencils will help you. You can make them yourself or purchase them in a store.

A special sheet on which various decorative elements and shapes are cut out is called a stencil. One of their advantages is their repeated use. With the help of stencil painting, you can easily apply drawings to the wall, without spending a lot of time on it. And it doesn’t matter whether they are painted or wallpapered.

The stencil is very easy to use; you can do all the drawing work with it even with your own hands. The application technique is to apply paint through a hole in thick cardboard.

You don't have to be an artist to paint something on your wall. Properly selected stencil painting will allow you to get bright pictures and hide the imperfections of the walls in the apartment.

Bubble Mood

This drawing is an excellent option to hide any flaws in the design of the wall before renovation. The motif will look good in a child's room.

The template in this case is a circle cut out in a sheet of cardboard

To make a three-dimensional bubble you will need two contrasting paints. The dark one should be applied to the top of the template

Light paint is applied to the bottom of the template and another stroke is applied to the top of the dark circle.

The author added the drop-bubble with two strokes from below, but even without them it looks very interesting

If you regularly arrange such droplets, you will get a cheerful parade of capitoshkas

What and where to paint on the walls?

If you choose the right pattern, you can get a decorative function, as well as visually expand and enlarge the room. Drawings in the apartment carry different meanings in different rooms.

In the kitchen, scenes with still lifes and old cities performed well. This creates additional comfort. Drawing in the bedroom should relax and calm you down. You can draw angels or flowers. Seascapes will complement the bathroom.

Panoramic views will please your guests from the first minutes of their stay in the living room.

Remember that drawings on the wall will not become something new in the world of design, but they allow you to get a unique solution when creating an apartment design. A painted wall can create a special atmosphere, show your character and personality, and the apartment or house itself will become more comfortable and cozy. The most important thing remains the fact that you can become the only person with such an interior, because any idea for wall painting is exclusive and unique in its implementation.
