It all depends on your imagination and financial means. Let's look at the most popular tricks that designers use when decorating an apartment.
Wall decoration in the living room
Many people perceive the living room as a place in which there should be a relaxing atmosphere of home comfort and appeasement. There are also those who prefer something more youthful, bright and dynamic. Using a certain type of finishing materials, you can create the right wall design and create a certain mood in the room:
- Decoration of walls with a cloth . A beautiful fabric on the wall reminds of ancient interiors, of palace decorations with tapestries, shtofs and jacquards. For finishing, you need to use an elastic, pollution-resistant fabric based on flax, cotton, viscose or wool. Decorating can be done in two ways: stretch the fabric on the frames and attach them to the wall or attach the canvas directly to the wall.
- Wall decoration with wallpaper . Wallpapers are selected depending on the size and lighting of the room. In a small dark living room it is desirable to choose a light colored wallpaper with a small floral or geometric pattern. Do not look bad canvases with a vertical strip. For spacious rooms with high ceilings, you can use a trellis of saturated color with a large expressive pattern. If you want to add a highlight to the interior, then paint the front wall with beautiful wallpaper.
- Wall decoration with moldings . Molding is a three-dimensional profile, decorated with convex and carved decorative elements. It can be attached along the ceiling baguettes or on the entire wall area. Molding can also be framed with important decorative elements, such as family photos, panels or tapestries.
