The interior of the children's room is not created for one year. He will "grow up" with the baby. Therefore, the strip is very suitable for the nursery, it is always in fashion. From a design point of view, the strip is universal, it can be combined with any style and is very practical. But you need to understand the optical features of the striped interior in order to take into account the visual effects when applying the stripes to the base surfaces.
Fundamental rules
The main rule, especially for a children's room, is that all large surfaces should be as even as possible. In an old building, after several repairs, this is not easy to achieve. You need to make an effort and get to the base of the ceiling and walls - remove layers of old paint, plaster, wallpaper. After that, start all over again - plaster the surfaces, putty, sand and prime the walls and ceiling. This can be done by a team of professionals, but the walls must be perfectly even - it doesn’t matter if it’s for wallpaper or for painting.
Such thoroughness is required, since the strip looks wonderful on flat planes, but it magnifies and emphasizes all the flaws many times over. This is especially evident when applying horizontal stripes. In addition to the surface of the walls and ceiling, pay attention to all the leading lines of the room - horizontal and vertical. If the lines of window sills, cornices, doorways, communications, corners are not strictly adhered to, their discrepancy with the strip will be very noticeable and ruin all your efforts to create an interior.
Visual features of the stripes
The stripes are rhythmic, the simplicity of the ornament lies in the complexity of its use. The width of the stripes and color combinations play an important role - you need to carefully consider combinations of sizes, their color matches. All these nuances change the rhythm of the pattern and affect the overall perception of a particular interior.
With the help of stripe variations, you can visually adjust the size of the room, increasing or decreasing the true size. Vertical stripes on the walls raise the low ceiling and visually narrow the wide room. It is good to use them for a better visual perception of massive details, for example, old stucco. Visually, vertical stripes look narrower than equal horizontal ones.
Horizontal stripes expand a narrow room, they can make a short room longer. Stripes of contrasting color, regardless of direction, overload perception, strain the nervous system - they must be used very carefully. Stripes of similar colors are perceived much better, the same can be said about combinations of stripes of different widths.
Decor and accessories
Not only walls can express the “stripe” style. Perfectly emphasize the general mood of the interior elements of furniture, decorative details, decorations, textiles. Striped accessories complement the wall decor well. In the children's room, the strip is appropriate when creating an interior in any style. It fits perfectly into the "classic" interior, is very characteristic and has always been used in the "English style, will not spoil the interiors in the Provence" or "country" style. Striped curtains and curtains, patterns on sofa cushions, rugs and rugs are always organic, especially if color matches are maintained.
The stripe is one of the first ornaments in human history. Along with geometric and floral motifs, the use of stripes is organic and natural.
Living room design using stripes is a technique favored by designers who work in a modern manner. Stripes are minimalistic (which is so fashionable now), they are easily combined with modern "hi-tech" trends, fit perfectly into other styles, and are compatible with a variety of decorative elements. You can make the nursery the most stylish room in your apartment.
