And in order not to drown in this “sea”, there is a lifeline – the necessary information and knowledge. Remember the phrase: “Who owns the information, he owns the world.”

How to make the right choice without wasting money? I hope these guidelines will help you decide which wallpaper is best for you.
Wallpaper for walls: types
Here are given brief characteristics of eight types of wallpaper, their disadvantages, advantages and terms of operation are indicated.
Paper
They have two subspecies:
- In one layer (simplex) – very thin and not strong enough. Cheapest for the price.
- In two layers (duplex) – stronger.
The easiest option. Much cheaper than other types, but “the miser pays twice.” Pros: low price, breathability, sound insulation. Cons: fade in the sun, cannot be washed, absorbs odors. Service life 3-4 years and again repair! Do you need it?
Vinyl
Easy to clean. Ideal for kitchens and hallways. Moisture resistant. Retains color for a long time. The embossed coating perfectly hides the unevenness of the walls. Multiple repainting is permissible (up to 10 times). They will last 10 years. The only drawback: poor air permeability.
Textile
Consist of several layers. The front side is covered with fabric. They look expensive and exclusive, create coziness in the room. Durable and environmentally friendly. A good option for a bedroom. They have varieties:
- linen;
- jacquard;
- velor;
- jute;
- “Japanese grass”
- felt.
Cons: the price is high. Absorbs dust and odors. Requires constant care (careful cleaning from dust). The complexity of gluing (mandatory participation of a specialist). Pets can ruin the cover.
Silk screen printing
Exquisite and luxurious wallpapers! Suitable for living room, study and bedroom. A kind of vinyl wallpaper with a smooth surface. They have advantages: strong, durable, environmentally friendly, do not fade from sunlight. Easy to clean and wipe with a damp cloth.
Disadvantages: high cost, walls “don’t breathe”. Ventilate the room frequently. Cat claws love these coatings.
Acrylic
Analogue of vinyl, but the price is much lower. Base made of paper coated with a thin layer (2 mm) of acrylic. No special maintenance required. The porous structure of the coating is good for air permeability. Contribute to maintaining a pleasant microclimate.
Pros: Affordable price. Resistance to mechanical damage. Cons: fragility due to a thin layer of acrylic. Low degree of moisture resistance.
Flizelinovye
The material is elastic, non-woven, but very dense. Perfectly masks uneven walls, smoothes their surface, allowing the walls to “breathe”. Main feature: they can be easily overcoated with latex, acrylic and water-based paints. Easy to glue – you only need to glue the wall. They occupy leading positions in the market.
These features are reflected in the high price tag. Quality comes at a price, but the long lifespan justifies the cost. There are no downsides!
Liquid
The word “wallpaper” is used here by convention. The basis of the coating is cellulose. In its original form, it is a dry powder in bags. The mixture is diluted in water, stirred and applied to the wall like plaster. After drying, a beautiful texture will appear on the walls. They have soundproofing properties.
Cons: Using liquid wallpaper in the bedroom is not the best solution. Due to their high hygroscopicity, they are not suitable for wet rooms. High price.
Wall-papers
They are based on fiberglass with a high level of fire safety.
Advantages: impeccable service up to 30 years. They are highly durable. They are not afraid of mechanical stress, they are easy to clean. Ideal for allergy sufferers. Disadvantages: high cost and limited selection of drawings.
Wallpaper color in the bedroom
As the saying goes, “there are no comrades for taste and color,” but when choosing wallpaper for the bedroom, you need to take into account several nuances:
- never use color contrasts, bright colors and geometric patterns for wall covering;
- the rest room should be light, light and “relaxing” shades. Photo wallpaper (for example, a seascape) on the wall opposite the bed is not excluded;
- colors to avoid: red, orange, yellow, purple. This can cause anxiety and irritation;
- the color of wallpaper and furniture should match each other.
Can be combined. A little bit of imagination and creativity! For example, combine plain wallpaper with a floral pattern or with fragments of silk-screen printing. Consult a designer or an experienced craftsman.
Wallpaper for a small bedroom
For a feeling of comfort and tranquility, light green or beige tones are suitable. Warm shades with floral elements are suitable here.
Walls with a small pattern for a small room will visually reduce it. The vertical pattern of the wallpaper visually raises the ceiling, while the horizontal pattern visually expands the space.
Best bedroom wallpaper
Let’s make a conclusion. So, paper, acrylic, non-woven wallpaper is suitable for the bedroom. Shades: cream, blue, green, light gray, chocolate, blue. Worth trying!
