Wall coverings

Laconicism and richness of design in one color: how monophonic wallpapers transform the interior


With the modern range of decorative finishing materials, it is difficult to call plain wallpaper boring, simple and uninteresting. A wide range of colors allows you to embody the most daring ideas in tones of the primary color or contrast. Plain coatings have many advantages when used in residential premises, and also require special attention during installation.

Solid walls in a residential interior

Pasting walls and ceilings in living rooms, each owner seeks to choose such types of wallpaper to get a unique interior design. For ceilings, light discreet coverings are usually taken, with the exception of photo wallpaper, frescoes or panels, when the picture naturally moves to the ceiling.


Plain wallpaper for walls have several advantages:

  • visually expand the boundaries of space,
  • favorably shade furniture, home decoration, curtains on windows and accessories,
  • allow you to combine light and saturated shades,
  • perfectly apply when zoning living rooms.

Solid colors contribute to a comfortable rest and relaxation, as they do not overload a person’s visual perception of the environment, but create a calm atmosphere. Often monophonic materials for wall decoration are used by lovers of modern minimalist and high-tech styles, since against their background any objects made of glass, plastic and metal in the interior look perfect. The only significant drawback of monochrome wallpapers is that they require a perfectly even base surface for pasting. On monophonic coatings, especially in light colors, even the smallest defects and irregularities are visible.

When choosing a plain wallpaper, it is necessary to thoroughly finish the plaster first or to cover the walls with plasterboard to eliminate roughness on the surface.

Colors, shades, tones: features of wall materials

Even the simplest plain wallpaper can be the main highlight of any design, because the main property of such materials is the ability to set the background and mood for the whole space.

Typically, this type of wallpaper is used to darken or lighten the interiorless often - to emphasize individual walls or some of their sites.

Since the use of plain wallpaper for walls in the interior does not imply the presence of expressive drawings on the walls, for many such a design may seem banal and boring.

To solve the problem of uniformity of design, you can implement several techniques that allow fill the interior with additional paints and details:

  • create bright accents all around the room,
  • choose wallpaper with a pronounced relief or textured surface,
  • monophonic wallpaper with a pattern created on a stencil will attract attention in the interior,
  • plain wallpaper without a picture can be harmoniously combined with any curtains,
  • The combination of plain wallpapers with each other, using companion wallpapers, is becoming increasingly popular.

In the photo of plain wallpaper, one can note many more features of such coatings: they can expand the interior, correct the irregular shape of the room, mask the imperfections of the walls (when selecting wallpapers with embossed surface), set the mood.

Choose a tone

Decided to design a room in one color? There are two ways to achieve this result: to choose inexpensive monophonic wallpapers of a ready shade or to choose wallpaper for painting, the design of which can be periodically changed depending on your own preferences.

Beautiful plain wallpaper can be matched to almost any style. In modern designs, such as hi-tech or minimalism, it is better to give preference to light or calm cold shades.

Warm colors are typical for rooms decorated in the style of Provence or country. Bright and saturated colors are a characteristic feature of oriental themes, and restrained shades are classic and provincial design trends.

The right choice will depend on many factors. Therefore, when choosing plain wallpapers in the hall, kitchen, bedroom and other rooms, pay attention to the following features and parameters: resistance and durability of the material, the nature of the surface (embossed or smooth), texture and color scheme.

The range of wallpaper coatings is quite large, but not everyone is able to choose the right option for rooms with specific conditions.

For example, in a kitchen where walls are exposed to moisture and steam, you can use vinyl plain wallpaper for walls. The main feature of vinyl plain wallpaper is the ability to clean, so your walls will retain their appearance for a long time.

Non-woven monophonic wallpaper is also characterized by high durability and durability. To clean such walls will be a little more difficult, but the wallpaper protect the surface from mechanical damage, and the relief texture, characteristic of most wallpapers of this type, will emphasize the stylish interior design.

If the issue of quality is not a priority for you, specific factors do not threaten damage to the wallpaper during operation, and you do not expect a long service life - you can purchase plain paper wallpapers.

Such coatings have much more design features, and due to the simplicity of the structure, you can easily paste such coatings on any walls in the house.

In addition to the quality parameters, pay attention to the appearance of the coatings. Colored plain wallpaper can have a matte or shiny structure, shimmer under the sun or reflect glare.

Choose the appropriate option, focusing on your own preferences, as well as on the purpose of the room: for example, wallpaper, blinding eyes from excessive light, will be inappropriate in the office.

The texture of plain wallpaper also plays an important role. They are can be smooth or embossedmade in the form of small crumbs or rough, and imitate natural surfaces.

The price of plain wallpaper will depend on the quality and texture of the material: the minimum cost of such coatings is about 700 rubles.

Each shade in the home interior performs its functions: rich and vibrant tones emphasize dynamics, dark and gloomy shades make the room smaller, and light monophonic wallpapers allow you to create an atmosphere of spaciousness and freshness.

It is necessary to choose a shade for the room, given its size: dark plain wallpaper on all walls will reduce the space, but only on one of them will extend the room.

Plain wallpaper in the room can be purchased to create a basic shade or delimitation of space. Bright plain wallpaper for walls glued on one or two opposite surfaces will form accents.

    Wall decoration in the hallway and corridor

Plain wallpaper in the hallway is desirable to choose, taking into account their influence on the perception of the size of the room and the light in space. Light wallpapers, for example, white, beige or yellow, will expand and brighten such an interior.

    Varieties of plain wallpaper

    Plain coatings used to paste the walls are classified in the same way as other types, but it is much more difficult to choose them for specific rooms.

    Wallpaper of the same color can be divided into groups:

    • according to the material of manufacture (paper, non-woven, vinyl, fiberglass, fabric),
    • on the structure of the canvas (single and duplex),
    • on the invoice (smooth and embossed),
    • by texture (under fabric, under natural materials or without it),
    • by color (ready-made factory dyeing or painting).

    Choosing plain wallpaper for a living room, it is worth in each case to proceed from specific conditions: the size of the room, the purpose of the room, architectural features, cost, complexity of pasting. Embossed wallpapers are available with small, large and abstract patterns. On paper and non-woven fabric, the relief effect is obtained using hot or cold stamping, and on vinyl - by spraying polyvinyl chloride onto a paper or non-woven backing. Smooth wallpapers require a perfectly even base, while embossed ones hide small defects.

    When carrying out cosmetic repairs in a new apartment, it is worth giving preference to non-woven fabrics that do not tear when the structure shrinks.

    Solid walls in the bedroom

    It has long been no secret that monophonic calm colors on the walls and ceiling of the bedroom create a calm atmosphere in the room for a comfortable stay. In the bedroom, it is advisable to use environmental "breathing" wallpaper: paper, non-woven and fabric on a non-woven basis. Since the walls in the bedroom are usually dry and not exposed to moisture, do not use washable, vinyl or fiberglass wallpaper for pasting.

    The cramped pattern on the non-woven, paper or fabric looks luxurious in the bedroom. Some owners, following the fashion, choose heavy multilayer vinyl-coated wallpapers for the bedroom, forgetting to pay attention to their air tightness. Today on sale there are vinyl wallpapers with a relief structural pattern and micropores for air exchange, but they cost more.

    Under the plain walls, it is easy to choose curtains for the bedroom. It can be striped curtains with small prints or large ornaments to match the wallpaper. Thanks to the simple monophonic design of the room, the windows in the bedroom can be used to hang Roman, Italian, English curtains or multi-layered compositions with folds and tails. Contrasting sliding panels look original in an oriental-style bedroom. If the design project of the bedroom provides for decoration in a rustic style or in a country style, where there are many decorative elements and accessories in the interior, then it is most appropriate to choose bright plain coverings for the walls, against which Austrian curtains or curtains with ruffles and ruffles will look great.

    Monochrome wallpaper for children

    In addition to the design qualities, wallpaper for the children's room is subject to increased environmental safety requirements. Wall coverings in the nursery should not emit toxic substances when heated and should have a high rate of air and vapor permeability. “Breathable” wallpapers include paper, non-woven and vinyl wallpapers with micropores on paper and non-woven basis. Child psychologists recommend that you do not overload the room with vivid drawings, so as not to injure the psyche of the child.


    To make the design of a children's room interesting, it’s enough:

    • stick on a plain background wall murals on one wall or in a niche,
    • combine a light background with bright borders,
    • make the panels more saturated in tone to the main,
    • on smooth pastel walls, use brightly colored stickers.

    When zoning the nursery to the sleeping and playing parts, you can use your own type of wallpaper for each of the zones. In the child’s relaxation area, the walls are covered with paper or non-woven wallpaper with an embossed pattern in bright colors. And in the playing area they use vinyl wallpapers that are more resistant to mechanical external influences.

    When choosing wall coverings in a children's room, the most important aspect is always the safety of materials, rather than their durability.

    Plain Kitchen - Design Features

    Although the kitchen occupies a small area in the living space of our apartments and houses, it is there that we spend most of the time. Therefore, to buy wallpaper for the kitchen, you need to consider several important aspects:

    • Wallpaper design should support the overall style in the interior,
    • the color of the coatings should create a comfortable environment,
    • Wallpaper should be as comfortable and durable as possible.

    For small-sized kitchens, monochrome light-colored wallpapers are chosen that visually increase the space: peach, wheat, coral, champagne color. Against such a background, various kitchen accessories, dishes and bright curtains with intricate patterns will look great. The spacious kitchen should not be carried away by cold shades that make the interior deserted and uncomfortable. Restrained colors of gray, violet and blue shades are appropriate in rooms with good lighting, where everything is literally flooded with sunlight.


    Despite its simplicity, white wallpapers are considered universal, as they look perfect on the walls of the kitchen in any style and are combined with any colors. The most budget option for the kitchen - non-woven wallpaper for painting, which have increased moisture resistance. This choice allows you to change the color of the coatings, without waiting for the next repair.

    At the next painting of monophonic non-woven walls, you should choose a paint color several tones darker or brighter.

    The combination of monochrome wallpaper

    Today you rarely see a living room where all the walls are covered with wallpaper of the same color. Modern designers offer enough ways to combine wall and ceiling coatings without significant architectural redevelopment and material investments. Why combine colors, patterns, textures, complicating repairs?


    By combining you can achieve different goals:

    • zoning room space
    • emphasize the features of the layout,
    • hide architectural flaws (ledges, niches, cornices, ventilation or heating risers),
    • change the visual proportions of the room,
    • emphasize a single wall or part thereof,
    • to introduce characteristic elements reflecting the interests of the owner of the room.

    Plain wallpaper for walls with a luminous flux creates the appearance of a high room. Light walls in combination with horizontal stripes expand the space. A large saturated picture on the wall opposite the light source, on a monochrome background, makes the room more spacious. In order to visually change the proportions of an elongated room, it is advised to paste over narrow walls with a monotonous saturated color, and wide ones with light wallpaper.


    Using wallpapers of several colors or textures, you can make an original design, using some tips:

    • combine wallpaper with a complex pattern at the bottom of the wall with a plain coating at the top,
    • wallpaper with a pattern, murals, murals to use for one wall, the others leave the same color in the same tone,
    • combine monophonic canvases and canvases with a pattern, sticking them alternately (this method is especially good in small rooms with a low ceiling),
    • use colored "self-adhesive" on a plain background (you can on the same wall or all),
    • to design one wall on the main background in the style of a quilt (looks good in a nursery).

    To create an interesting interior design and avoid monotony, you can focus on part of the wall by pasting it with wallpaper with a catchy floral pattern or abstract geometric motifs. This method allows you to turn the wall into an art object and get a stunning effect of modern custom design.

    Choosing a combined wall and ceiling wallpapering, you should familiarize yourself with some of the secrets of combining colors, tones and textures.

    Some manufacturers of finishing materials produce a whole series of wallpapers and coatings that combine perfectly. Combination options are attached to such series, which saves the buyer from searching for other methods. Following the manufacturer's instructions, you can create a flawless modern room design in any style.

    The walls of the room are a kind of canvas on which, like artists, we can paint “paintings” using various decorative elements. That is why the trend for plain walls, which can be clearly seen in modern design, is not only a beautiful, but also a very practical solution that does not tire the look and leaves room for a flight of fancy and experiment with the style of the room. Plain-colored walls allow you not to worry about the combination of decor with a print on the walls and eliminate the fear of “overloading” the room with color and details - you can simply repaint the walls and change the main color of the room decor as often as you see fit.

    General approach

    There are three main options for using plain walls in the interior.

    Option 1. Using the same shade for all walls

    For restrained interiors, for example, in the Scandinavian, classical style or in the Provence style, neutral shades (white, beige, light blue, light green) are suitable.

    In more daring Art Nouveau interiors, you can find dark, saturated shades - blue, brown, burgundy, dark gray.

    Option 2. Using a bright shade for an accent wall

    One of the simple, but very beautiful design decisions is to create an accent wall of a dark or saturated shade against the background of light walls of a neutral shade. On such a wall, paintings, photographs, decorative dishes and other decorative elements are especially beneficial.

    Option 3. The combination of two bright colors

    The most daring experimenters use two shades that equally attract attention.

    In this case, the choice of colors should be approached with particular care: firstly, they should be combined with each other, and secondly, they should not be tiring.

    Reason for the purchase of plain wallpaper

    When decorating this or that interior, there are several reasons to give preference to monophonic wallpapers:

    • visual extension of the interior,
    • correction of irregular shapes of premises,
    • camouflage identified wall imperfections,
    • subsequent wall decoration with photographs, paintings, panels,
    • purchase of original furniture that draws attention to oneself,
    • planning smooth wall painting in the future,
    • preference for laconic room design.

    Features of plain wall coverings

    The choice of wallpaper covering directly depends on the type of room whose walls they intend to paste over.

    If the owners of the room do not plan to operate the wallpaper in this room for many years, it is more advisable to buy paper wallpaper. They differ:

    • many design features
    • environmental friendliness
    • the ability to seamlessly decorate any wall in the house.

    Such wallpapers are preferred when repairing a bedroom. These wallpapers are extremely good for a nursery.

    In rooms where the wallpaper will be at risk of damage, because they will be constantly affected by some specific factors, it is recommended that the walls be glued with vinyl or non-woven wallpaper.

    Non-woven vinyl wallpapers can be cleaned mechanically. It is this important quality of them that will allow the walls to maintain a satisfactory appearance for a long time.

    Directly monophonic non-woven wallpaper differ from other types of coating with the highest strength and wear resistance. In addition to these parameters, the relief texture characteristic of this wallpaper will additionally emphasize the unique style of the interior.

    The principles of choosing plain wallpaper

    Plain wallpaper in the interior is good for any of its styles. Before acquiring this type of material, it is necessary to analyze its parameters and choose the most suitable for the implementation of specific tasks.

    When deciding on the choice of a specific type of plain wallpaper, you need to take into account their texture, whether they are smooth or are able to effectively simulate various surfaces - from wood to leather. For those who wish to further paint the wallpaper, it makes sense to choose textured options. In this case, it is necessary to have information about their ability to absorb paint and the final shade.

    An important nuance when choosing plain wallpaper is the presence of gloss on their outer surface. Matte wallpapers are more popular today. It should be borne in mind that in certain interior styles, pearlescent or any other gloss on the wallpaper is unacceptable.

    When choosing a plain wallpaper for a particular room, we must not forget about its location relative to the cardinal points. For rooms facing west and north, it is advised to purchase wallpaper in warm colors, close to sunlight. Gray plain wallpaper and any dark shades, especially black ones, are extremely undesirable in such rooms. Wallpaper in a room with windows facing east or south does not need this limitation.

    Color scheme monophonic coating

    The most difficult choice of colors for wallpapers. It should be borne in mind that monophonic wallpapers actively interact with the interior of the room that they are pasted over. In the classical method - pasting all walls without exception with wallpaper of the same shade - you need to consider the color scheme of furniture and decor elements in this room.

    The most primitive plain wallpaper without a picture can create a unique design, if you follow a number of trends. Avoid banal and boring wall decoration through plain wallpaper will help the recommendations of competent designers:

    • identify colorful accents around the entire perimeter of the room,
    • give preference to wallpaper with a textured surface,
    • to draw attention with the help of a pattern created through a stencil,
    • combine wallpaper with curtains,
    • resort to a harmonious combination of plain wallpaper-companions with each other.

    A range of plain wallpapers for different interior styles

    Beautiful wallpaper created in the same tone can be successfully selected for absolutely any style of the interior of a room of various functional purposes. For each particular style, designers offer their recommendations for choosing wallpapers:

    • light, calm cold shades of wallpaper will be appropriate when decorating rooms in the style of minimalism or hi-tech,
    • warm shades of the color scheme are preferable for pasting the walls of rooms decorated in the style of country or Provence,
    • plain wallpapers of bright, saturated tones, in other words, it is advised to purchase colored or combined wallpapers to create an oriental interior,
    • discreet tones of plain wallpaper or plain will be harmonious in a classic or provincial interior.

    Plain wallpaper in the interior of different rooms

    According to the conventional wisdom of designers, each shade of color has specific functions when decorating a room’s interior, so it’s important to understand for which specific purpose a plain wallpaper is chosen and which color should be preferred.

    An ideal option for decorating the walls of modern housing is white wallpaper. Thanks to them, a light background and airy atmosphere are created in the room, which is conducive to emotional relaxation.

    In addition to white, beige wallpaper will provide a soothing atmosphere in the room. They have their own significant advantage - they can be successfully combined with any other shade.

    Wallpaper of yellow tones in the best way will create a warm, extremely positive atmosphere in the room. The energy of life itself will reign in it. It is advisable to cover the walls of children's rooms, living rooms, and kitchens with such wallpaper.

    Solid green wallpapers that convey the natural theme are chosen for living rooms, workrooms or kitchens in a successful combination with natural wood furniture. The original option in this case will be turquoise wallpaper.

    Plain wallpaper for the bedroom is better to acquire blue shades. A symbol of sea freshness, they will soothe the owner of the room. Another option for their use may be the bathroom. Blue plain wallpaper can sometimes be too gloomy, and sometimes vice versa, very bright. In this regard, designers advise using them sparingly, pasting them with one or a maximum of a pair of walls in one room, which may include bedrooms, living rooms or dining rooms.

    Wallpaper for children will be very handy in gentle tones of pink. Having chosen it for the interior design of common rooms, it is better to combine with other shades of a similar gamut, for example, with lilac.

    Extremely bright - red or purple wallpapers - do not recommend gluing around the entire perimeter of any room. These colors are used to effectively create accent spots or areas on the walls.
    The restraint of the created design of the modern interior is perfectly emphasized by the plain gray wallpaper.

    The most risky option for decorating the walls of a living room is black wallpaper. Their application a priori will make any room cramped and gloomy, therefore black wallpapers are allowed in wall pasting only of course containing bright accents of rooms.

    How to combine certain shades of wallpaper when creating the interior, suggest recommendations below.

    • Plain wallpaper in the corridor requires light shades, thereby visually expanding the narrow space of the room. Wallpaper in the hallway should be skillfully selected to prevent the impression of a closed uncomfortable space.
    • A special role in each house is played by wallpaper in the interior of the living room, in the common room where the family spends leisure and meets.

    Implementation methods

    Now that we have considered the main options for using plain walls in the interior, we’ll talk about how to better implement your idea.

    Solution No. 1. Plain wallpapers

    Plain wallpaper is one of the easy-to-implement and low-cost ways to decorate walls. Castorama offers a variety of wallpaper options that are ideal for this task.

    According to the basis material, monochrome wallpapers are divided into paper, non-woven and vinyl.
    Paper wallpapers are considered the most economical and most environmentally friendly. They are well suited for children's rooms and bedrooms.

    Non-woven wallpaper has a lot of advantages and is very versatile in application. They are distinguished by such qualities as wear resistance, moisture resistance and resistance to light. In addition, wallpaper of this kind practically does not accumulate dust, so it is suitable for people with a tendency to allergies.

    Vinyl wallpapers have high moisture resistance and mechanical resistance, and therefore they are recommended for use in kitchens and bathrooms.

    If the walls have small irregularities, it is better to choose a wallpaper with a small relief. This will help visually align the walls.

    Decision number 2. Wallpaper for painting

    Wallpaper for painting has its own significant advantages, which cannot but be appreciated. Firstly, they are durable, secondly, painted wallpapers, as a rule, provide an opportunity to wash the walls, and thirdly, they can be repainted up to 15 times without losing texture.

    So, what kind of wallpaper to choose for painting?

    White plain wallpapers are best suited for these purposes, as they will not distort the color of the paint. Wallpaper for painting beige shades can make colors warmer and more saturated, so their application is best left to professionals.
    In Castorama you can choose wallpaper for painting on paper and non-woven basis. The cost for them varies from very economical to solid, so it’s possible to choose options within any budget

    As a rule, water-based paints, water-based or acrylic, which do not include solvents, are used to paint the wallpaper.

    Wallpaper needs to dry well before staining, so after gluing you should wait a few days.

    If the walls of the room do not differ in perfect smoothness, then for them it is better to use texture materials that will hide small irregularities. It is better to paint such wallpaper with a roller with a fleecy surface (woolen or mohair), since the villi allow you to qualitatively paint the relief surface.

    Each wall should be painted without a break, otherwise the border between the areas painted in the first and second stage will be noticeable.

    Decision number 3. Wall painting

    Painting walls without wallpaper is a rather time-consuming process, which is possible only after a very thorough surface preparation. On the one hand, the process of preparation for painting significantly improves the general condition of the room, and on the other, it requires a lot of time and effort.

    The preparation of the walls involves several stages. The first is to rid the walls of old coatings, mold stains, rust and other deposits. The second - leveling the surface from minor defects with special tools that are selected depending on the material of the walls. Then comes the primer, plaster, leveling the walls and other actions for which certain knowledge and dexterity are also important.

    It should also be borne in mind that new houses shrink, and when painting walls without wallpapering, the formation of small cracks is possible. In order to prevent cracks from being noticeable, in the process of preparation it is necessary to glue fiberglass onto the plastered wall and then cover it with a finishing putty.

    This method of painting has its advantages - the color lasts a very long time, the walls can be washed without fear of damaging the surface, however, the complexity of the preparatory work makes this method less popular compared to using wallpaper.
