Expand the room or make it higher, create accent walls and add bright accessories - all this is using vertical stripes.
1 visually increase the space
Make ceilings above
Make the ceilings above the case for various reasons. For example, you want to put a large sofa into a small room. It will make the space even less, and the room will look disproportionately for him. If you add vertical print onto walls, it will make the ceiling visually above and correct the situation.
You can use this technique in spacious rooms with sufficiently high ceilings, if you like the feeling of airiness in the interior. In this case, choose bright and cold shades of strips and light ceilings. To emphasize this move, try making floors of darker shades.
The only thing that should not be done is to apply vertical stripes in the room where the wall width is less than their height, otherwise it turns out the effect of the well.
Make a room wider
Horizontal stripes, on the contrary, slightly reduce the ceilings, but they make a room visually wider. This is a good solution just for those rooms in which the wall width is comparable with a height. To further view the space more visually, choose miniature furniture, for example, two chairs instead of a sofa, chest of drawers instead of a cabinet under the ceiling.
2 Make the interior completed
So that the interior looked thought out and consistently, add a striped print not only on the walls, but also on furniture and accessories. In order for everything to look harmoniously, adhere to at least one of the rules:
- strips of approximately equal width;
- stripes in one color scheme;
- Strips alternate in one rhythm.
For horizontal bands there is another very important point: they should be not too bright, well combined and not too thin so that you do not ripple in the eyes. Therefore, before buying wallpapers, be sure to ask a small piece in the store and try it on the wall, leaving for a couple of days.
Another way to make the interior completed is to add one-photon surfaces in the color of one of the bands on the wall.
Do not be afraid to combine stripes with other patterns and ornaments: a cell, floral or vegetable. If you correctly pick up the color gamut, these patterns will complement each other. Another option: Stop on something one, for example, to issue an interior in black and white stripes.
3 Proceed for an accent wall
If you want to add bright colors and stripes to the room, but it is afraid to make it all the walls, try using them as an emphasis. An even more sparing option is to highlight a part of the wall, for example, behind the headboard or next to the bookcard. Such an accent wall will also help zonate space. Try to highlight the dining area or living room using this print, to separate the workspace.
4 Use as accents in accessories
If the bands like, but the repair is not soon, update at home accessories:
- carpet;
- upholstery of upholstered furniture;
- linens;
- Sofa pillows;
- paintings;
- dishes;
- Curtains.
The single color gamma and rhythm of the pattern will change the feeling of the interior. In addition, this pattern is appropriate in any interior direction: from the loft to the classics. Only color will change - in the classic style more appropriately discouraged muffled tones, in more modern directions you can experiment with bright shades.
