Among all the other rooms in our home, the living room stands out because we spend most of our free time in it, where we also relax and receive guests, so it is extremely important that the appearance of our living room makes a pleasant impression.

The walls play a significant role in the overall composition of the room, or more precisely, how well the wallpaper is selected for them.

Let's start with color, because it is color, besides the pattern, that is the first thing that catches the eye. You should not use gaudy motley colors, the living room is a place where this is absolutely unacceptable, because it is not a child's room.

But keep in mind that the smaller the living room, the lighter the wallpaper should be, thus visually increasing the space of the room, says Yulia Tychino .

In general, dark tones fit well into the living room interior, so try to decorate the walls of your room with brown wallpaper; furniture made of natural wood will look perfect in a room with such wallpaper.

If your living room is located on the dark side of the house or apartment, and most of the time sunlight bypasses it, dark blue wallpaper will be a great choice.

Wallpaper in gray tones also looks very nice, in this case, do not forget to decorate the room with various items of warm colors.

Purple is considered a very good and one of the most popular options.

When choosing a pattern, consider the size of the room, for example, to make the living room visually larger, you should choose wallpaper with a small pattern or vertical lines, they will help to “stretch” the room.

For spacious living rooms, on the contrary, wallpaper with a large pattern and horizontal lines is ideal.
In addition to a pleasant appearance, wallpaper should also have a practical function, it should not be easily soiled. Here, dark-colored wallpaper has a clear advantage.

In addition, the wallpaper in the living room should be resistant to fading and also have as dense a structure as possible, this will help to hide possible unevenness of the wall.

If we talk about what type of wallpaper to choose for the living room, then the most correct decision would be to choose wallpaper on a non-woven base.

They have exactly the qualities mentioned above, namely density, durability, resistance to fading, they can be washed and painted, in addition, non-woven wallpaper offers us the largest selection of design and color options.

Vinyl wallpaper is practically no different from non-woven wallpaper, a significant advantage is the absence of seams after gluing, but they will cost a little more.

Some people can afford such luxury as fabric wallpaper, but it is worth considering that they accumulate dust, and wet cleaning of such wallpaper is unacceptable.

Let's look at two more types of wallpaper, which are still quite rare.
Wallpaper made of fiberglass, its big advantages are high strength, durability, moisture resistance and fire safety.

Bamboo wallpapers have a very elegant look, and besides, caring for them will not be tiring for you.

Make the right choice and let your living room be a wonderful place to relax and gather.
