Blue wallpaper in the design of bedrooms

Comfort and coziness in the house largely depends on the color scheme of the interior. Blue shades are considered "passive", soothing, so they are often chosen for decorating a bedroom. And the fastest way to decorate walls is to wallpaper them. Let's take a look at how to choose and what to combine with blue wallpaper for decorating a bedroom.

The observations of scientists have shown that in a room with blue walls, the excitability of the nervous system decreases, working capacity is inhibited, and the heart rate slows down. Speaking of blue, there is invariably a reference to the theme of the sea: an endless meditative space, merged with the sky on the horizon. It is also the color of evening twilight and night - a time of peace and quiet. But in large quantities, blue can have an overly depressing effect, so you need to choose the right shade of wallpaper and use it in dosage, combining it with other colors in the interior.

The influential institute Pantone announced Classic Blue as the color of the year 2020. The elegant deep blue numbered 19-4052 embodies harmony and reliability. But, in addition to it, this color model contains almost two hundred shades of blue. Among them are "Blue Dust", "Blue Steel", "Gulf Stream", "Aquarelle", "Provence", "Reef Waters", "Poseidon" and other types. The Pantone classification is used by printers and designers in the production of wallpaper, as well as by manufacturers of interior coatings for painting.

Modern and popular shades of blue include:

• bleached blue;
• "Airy" blue;
• blue with steel gray undertone;
• "Wiped" indigo;
• the shade of a stormy sky;
• blue-green - from azure and turquoise to deep sea green;
• blue-violet, lilac.

Electrician and bright cobalt will be too intrusive and harsh for a break room, and too much deep navy blue will make the room gloomy and depressing.

The modern wallpaper market offers products from many firms in Russia, Europe and the United States. The assortment is very wide:

• wallpaper with geometric patterns (rhombuses, circles, waves);
• with plant and animal prints;
• strip, cell;
• screen prints, prints;
• watercolor smudges and splashes;
• vintage decor;
• imitation of the Portuguese tile "azulejo";
• monograms and damask patterns;
• abstraction;
• 3D images.

With wallpaper, you can create a bedroom in almost any style. Speaking of the blue color, first of all, they recall the classic British interiors with monochrome saturated walls or a combined design: a combination of plain and striped or patterned wallpaper on the wall through the plinth-curb.

Another reference to Britain is the famous Morris & Co wallpaper, filled with whimsical patterns of plants, flowers and birds on colored (including blue and blue) backgrounds. These wallpapers, based on 19th century drawings, are still produced today.

The legendary brand Laura Ashley, also inspired by tradition, creates a variety of decors and prints every season. Using a similar wall decoration, you can play with the Victorian theme, making it the basis for modern furnishings.

For Provence and country styles, azure and lavender shades of blue are familiar. Wallpaper with a scattering of small delicate flowers on a blue background or, conversely, with blue irises and lavender on white or beige, is especially good. Style chinoiserie, so fashionable in the houses of European nobility in past centuries, is applicable today for an eclectic interior with an oriental note. And it is characterized by blue wallpaper painted with pink peonies, blooming rose hips, cherries.

Of course, you cannot do without all sorts of shades of blue when decorating a bedroom in a nautical theme. Stripes of various widths, waves, wallpaper with prints of anchors and other ship attributes, with seagulls or sea inhabitants - this decor is often used for boys' rooms. And wallpaper-panels with a wonderful sea view or a mountain landscape in a blue misty haze will enhance the relaxation effect that is so necessary in the bedroom.

The teenage and youth bedroom will be decorated with a wall of "denim" textured wallpaper. But just one wall, because the complete pasting of the room into such a monotonous texture will "press" on its inhabitants. Abstract prints of color spots and patterns will fit into any modern interior. Gray-blue wallpaper will dilute strict minimalism and add coziness and color to the loft bedroom.

For a room bathed in hot sun, choose cool tones, the dark will be saved by finishing with a sky blue or blue and white combination. If for one wall wallpaper is chosen in rich blue or with a large and active decor, then for other surfaces it is necessary to choose calm shades. Most often, such a bright wall is made behind the head of the bed so that the look does not "get tired".

For this combination, you will have to look for complex shades of both colors. Open and bright blues and yellows look like an outdated finishing trick that was often used in kitchen and nursery décor in the late 90s and early 2000s. But matte noble dark blue and ocher or yellow pistachio look luxurious together. Whitewashed pastel yellow is also a great companion to gray-blue.

Blue with tints of beige and coffee is a very common combination. Look good together blue-green with gold or sapphire with sand.

This is a classic: blue and white strip or check, white pattern on blue, white furniture, doors, cornices and skirting boards - the perfect solution, the embodiment of purity and harmony.

This combination is very calm, but so that it does not look too dull and cold, add some warm shades (terracotta, golden brown). Light shades of gray look good with blue: pearl gray, steel, silver. It is better to arrange the bedroom on the south side of the house in this way.

Various furniture is suitable for a room with wallpaper in blue tones. White bed, wardrobe and bedside tables look very advantageous against the background of dark cobalt walls. Oak furnishings will look no worse: its honey shades are in great harmony with blue. Furniture in reddish wood shades and similar wallpapers will not be too gloomy with apricot or golden textiles.

Using the tint from the wallpaper in the upholstery of furniture, you can "dissolve" a bed, sofa or armchair in space. Sometimes this design becomes a special decoration technique. The use of natural leather very nicely complements the cool bluish-turquoise tones in the wallpaper. A leather sofa will make the room both chic and cozy.

If the room is covered with blue wallpaper with a print, then it is advisable to sew the curtains from plain fabric. And choose their color, starting from the shades of the print, so that they are combined. Conversely, monochrome bedroom walls bring printed curtains and bedspreads to life.

A bedroom with a wall-to-wall fresco wallpaper behind the headboard sets up the romance of adventure. The muted blue-gray shades are the perfect combination of rough-colored wood textures and crisp white linens.

Wallpaper can be used to decorate the wall urban landscape or natural landscape.

For a teenage bedroom, wallpaper with a detailed description of the constellations and celestial bodies in the dark blue sky will become a kind of teaching aid. This color is repeated in the furniture upholstery, and the bright textiles of the pillows speak of the young age of the owners of the room.
