1. Evaluate the repaired space. When choosing wall-paper it is necessary to consider the room sizes, volumes, extent of walls. If the room small, bright and dark tone of walls it is reduced, and here light shades on the contrary will give bigger volume. Visually narrow the room and large drawings on wall-paper. Consider also room height. Wall-paper with vertical elements of pattern does the room of higher. With big height of walls in the house it is possible to paste over the room with two types of wall-paper, below and above at once, having separated them border. Be attentive: this option is not suitable for standard apartments with height of walls in 2.5 m. If you paste over several rooms, you should think over compatibility of flowers and drawings of walls in different rooms, to try to harmonize the general space of the apartment.

2. Choose drawing type. There are five main types of the drawing: monophonic, large spots, ""spotty background"", ""flowers"", ""strips"". Choose the drawing, proceeding from features of your room and own taste. Monophonic wall-paper will approach any option of interior: it is neutral option. You will be able to hang up on such walls of the photo, posters, pictures. Main thing here: right selection of color and ideally equal walls. Wall-paper in large spots (chaotic or regularly repeating drawing) visually makes heavier the room. This option is not suitable for small rooms (kitchen or the hall). Usually designers allocate with such wall-paper some zone indoors or glue them in the lower part of wall while the big top plane separated by plinth or border - monophonic. Small spots (spotty background) - the universal modern drawing, it reminds the mood monophonic option. Eye does not stop on object (there is no dominant). Besides such wall-paper can be glued on uneven walls: defects of the planes will be hidden. The ""Flower"" drawing (not only the image of flowers, but also animals, small fishes, lodges means) is quite pretentious: such wall-paper can quickly bother. When choosing similar of ""clothes of walls"" be attentive to quality of the press, intensity of tones, size of the represented objects. Wall-paper in strip needs to be selected very attentively: the horizontal strip visually broadens the room, but reduces ceilings, and vertical - does the room higher, but already. In the first case choose narrow and indistinct strip, in the second - wide strips that the space did not lose volume.

3. Choose color of the drawing. When choosing color, consider opinion of all family members, it influences mood and mental condition of the person. Walls of soft, lime shades create the atmosphere of steadiness, tranquility and confidence; the bright red or orange color works annoyingly. If the room comes to sunny side, pick up wall-paper of saturated dark shades: dark-blue, blue, violet, coffee, terracotta, chocolate. They will be able to absorb excess of light. If the room comes to the North, the lack of sunlight is compensated by wall-paper of warm colors: golden-yellow, light orange, yellowish-green. If in insufficiently natural lighting, wall it is recommended to paste over with orange, bright yellow, lime wall-paper. These coloring do the room 1.5-2 times lighter.

4. Choose the invoice. The you choose more volume drawing, the less attention can be devoted to preparation of walls: to alignment and plaster. If wall-paper smooth, pay attention to the planes: they have to be ideal, otherwise all imperfections will be visible.
