Choosing shade
Before you decide on the choice of pattern, you need to choose the color scheme of the entire room. Shades can be warm and cold. The former will make the room more comfortable and bright, while the latter will help visually expand the space, which is important for apartments with a small footage.

Ways to combine
There are some of the most common wallpaper combination options:
- One-tone + pattern is the most optimal and versatile way, since all walls except one are filled with the main color, and only one stands out with patterned wallpaper. In this case, the pattern can be either a contrasting shade, or close to the main one. It is important to note that the walls with a pattern are a self-sufficient element and do not require additional decoration.
- Drawing + drawing. This decoration option is suitable only for the most daring, as it looks quite bold and even defiant.
- Geometry + drawing or solid color. Geometric prints are also one of the varieties of pattern, but they look completely different. They need to be selected quite carefully, as too strict lines can get bored over time. Most often, prints in the form of ovals, zigzags, stripes are chosen.
