Wallpaper with flamingos in the interior. Design tricks

Kinds

Realistic

The realistic image of birds shows all the beauty of natural creatures.
The picture can be repeated along the entire length of the canvas or represent one picture. To implement the latter option, photo wallpaper would be an excellent finishing solution. Photo printing allows you to apply absolutely any image with the smallest details, for example, a large bird soaring in the sky or a flock of birds dispersed along the entire perimeter of the canvas. The pattern is also applied quite accurately to non-woven and vinyl trellises.

Stylized

An image drawn in any style will add personality to the interior. There can be a lot of variations, for example, a graphic image of birds or with Khokhloma painting. The image style should be a continuation of the design idea, supporting the interior in one direction, for example, small graphic owls on a branch fit perfectly with a white background in the Scandinavian direction, and painted blue silhouettes will complement the Gzhel style.

Chinoiserie style

Chinoiserie is a separate branch of design art. Images with Chinese themes, drawings are close to realistic, but more fantasy. The surface of the wallpaper may resemble silk. Finishing in the Chinoiserie style is more often used as a partial finish, for example, some walls in a room or a fragment of a wall framed in a baguette.

Advantages and disadvantages of wall decoration

A drawing can also have its pros and cons; it characterizes the owner of the house and shows the mood of the apartment.

Beyond the ordinary

Adding fabrics and wallpaper with images of birds may seem too familiar, everyday for creative people. If you're one of them, then you'll be glad to know that there's no shortage of other ingenious options.

Framed printed products, of course, along with photographs, porcelain with bird patterns, wall stickers, posters - this is an incomplete list of your options. 3D bird art is another great way to bring life to your living room or dining room walls.

Today we deliberately did not touch on the topic of the birdcage. The free life of a bird, it seems to us, better corresponds to the motifs of spring and summer, while life in a cage is the complete opposite.

This does not mean that such elements are not created as interesting and captivating additions to the decor. Just make sure there aren't any birds inside them!

Here are some excellent ways in which you can see how to repurpose old bird cages. Let your imagination be inspired!

There are a lot of combination options; it can be highlighting an accent wall, finishing it horizontally, or decorating it in the form of a panel with a baguette frame.

Wallpaper with birds

Birds are a symbol of freedom. Their images inspire dreams of travel and encourage a change of scenery. Swallows, tits, peacocks, firebirds and phoenixes on the surface of the walls of any room will give the room lightness and weightlessness. Such images will make the interior lighter and fresher.

Wallpapers with birds are divided into three main types by style.

1. Realistic - preserves the external data of birds existing in nature and their environment. The background of the wallpaper is neutral and delicate, which makes it ideal for classic interior design. The basis for such images are English drawings of the 18th–19th centuries. The wallpaper material can be varied: paper, non-woven fabric, textiles, vinyl, liquid compounds.
2. Chinoiserie - vinyl or paper canvases of oriental design style. The background in this case is pastel or bright colors. A small or large pattern may differ from the background by several tones of the same color and stand out with the help of mother-of-pearl or glitter.
3. Stylized - simplified modern drawings of funny or exotic birds that can fly, swim, sit in cages or on branches. The background colors and images are bright and original.

Which birds should you choose? This depends on the desired effect of the room. Images of peacocks and flamingos will emphasize the luxury of the interior. Wallpaper with white swans is suitable for decorating a romantic bedroom. The most fashionable are designs with hummingbirds on a light background of sakura flowers. Birds with cages are often used to decorate bedrooms and living rooms, but such a pattern can cause negative associations.

The ideal room for decorating walls with wallpaper with birds is the living room. Use neutral, solid colors in combination with images of flying birds around the perimeter of the ceiling. This will make the room spacious and visually wider. In a small living room, use light rolls with small prints for the entire room or dark ones to accent just one wall.

Advice

Add a touch of sophistication to your bathroom with flamingo designs.

A children's room would benefit from wallpaper with unobtrusive schematic images of funny birds, as if drawn by a child's hand. The style of pencil or watercolor drawing is not striking and does not overload the room. The most popular decorations for children's rooms now are owls, penguins and various birds against the backdrop of birdhouses. Soaring seagulls against a gentle background are suitable for the smallest inhabitants of the room.

Options in the interior of the rooms

Children's

It is important to avoid excessive diversity. If the wallpaper is very bright and active, if it contains several colors at once, it is better to use such material in small doses, combining it with a plain or discreet finish.

If you want to fill the room with freshness and coolness, choose wallpaper with birds located on a “cold” background (blue, gray, light green). Wallpaper should not look too colorful. On the contrary, it is desirable that their design be calm and laconic. This design option is especially successful for the bedroom - thanks to the decoration, it visually increases and is filled with air. The result is a peaceful atmosphere that promotes relaxation and easy sleep.

Wallpaper with birds will also come in handy in an interior with eco-motives. Something colorful and playful is unlikely to do. It is better to stick to calm wallpaper with a minimum of color and details. However, an image of trees and foliage wouldn't hurt. When decorating a room in eco-style, combine birds on the walls with wood patterns, natural materials, and wickerwork.

English

English style is a combination of restraint and good taste. There are no flashy details or vulgar colors in the design; every element of the room is elegant and made of high quality materials. The walls will be framed with muted wallpaper with a realistic pattern of birds. A similar print can be repeated in textile details, such as sofa decorative pillows.

Stylized drawings or realistic birds on a dark background will look interesting.

How to combine wallpaper in the hallway

Photo wallpaper is an accent element of the hallway. They should be used in a small area. You can combine them with any finishing materials, depending on the style and size of the room:

1. Wallpaper. Next to the active pattern of photo wallpaper, plain walls that are similar in tone to the colors of the image would be appropriate;
2. Decorative plaster. A wall decorated with this material would be suitable for images of ancient cities, ruins, and classical parks;
3. Fake diamond. It would be appropriate to support an urban pattern of photo wallpaper with a brick wall;
4. Dye. The part of the wall adjacent to the photo wallpaper can be painted in a contrasting color. In a classic interior, the joint is often covered with moldings; they give the composition a finished look.
