Most people want not only to beautifully decorate a room, but also to visually expand its area. One of these ways to use 3D wallpaper on the wall in an apartment: photos for the living room and other rooms with abstract designs are waiting for you on the pages of this article.
The text is divided into 4 parts:
- main features, advantages and disadvantages. How stereoscopic wall coverings are made, their performance characteristics;
- various categories and types of coatings;
- surface preparation and painting process;
- subtleties of choosing suitable canvases and ideas for their placement.
What is 3D Wallpaper
Stereoscopic 3D wallpaper is a wide-format panoramic wallpaper. A photograph transferred to an adhesive base cannot be considered 3D wallpaper. Only those products that have a digital image with the effect of distorting space are recognized as such - it creates a feeling of volume.
Why did they become so popular? used in small spaces, due to this small rooms look bigger.
Stereoscopic 3D wallpaper – pros and cons
A few words about the pros and cons of coatings with a 3D effect. Advantages:
- Durability. The quality of the canvas allows you to be sure that the canvas will last a long time, and the picture will remain as bright;
- Practicality. Stereoscopic 3D wallpaper for walls is easy to wash and wipe off dust;
- Health safety.Made from environmentally friendly materials;
- High strength. The canvases are resistant to mechanical distortion and damage;
- Fire safety. Products are treated with a non-flammable composition.
There is only one main drawback: photo wallpapers become boring over time. Psychologists do not recommend covering walls with wallpaper with the effect of constant observation (portraits). Choose designs with calm motifs so as not to expose nervous system additional stress.
How wallpaper with a 3D effect is made
You can make the coating yourself. This requires average PC skills. Decide on a graphic editor to create your design:
- Photoshop;
- Poser;
- Blender (open source).
![](https://i2.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image8-min-25.jpg)
These programs operate in 2D mode. To check how well the wallpaper fits with the rest of your room design, it is recommended to use one program from the top list in conjunction with:
- 3D Studio MAX;
- Sweet Home 3D.
To transfer the finished drawing you need a printer with the function of working with large formats. It is applied to a polyester coating (this is the secret of durability). Contact any printing house in your city.
After applying color to the coating, embossing occurs. On the wallpaper, the image is literally squeezed out and a kind of relief appears. The same effect is achieved with acrylic foam paint - it foams a little in certain places, the relief turns out to be somewhat more sparse, in the form of drops or contours.
For washable wallpaper, the manufacturing procedure is similar, but at the end they are covered with a special latex coating. Such methods give smoothness and eliminate the possibility of getting wet.
Performance characteristics
Thanks to the physical and technical properties of 3D wallpaper for walls, it has become popular not only among enthusiastic builders, but also among professional companies.
![](https://i0.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image30-min-9.jpg)
- Water-repellent property of the coating. Photo wallpapers can withstand wet cleaning, do not lose their aesthetic qualities over time, and allow you to feel clean and tidy in the room. This useful quality for a children's room where the child spends a lot of time.
- Resistance to damage. Small scratches do not spoil appearance.
- Do not fade, do not fade, do not become stained. Despite the considerable cost, they completely pay for themselves, and are not only beautiful in appearance, but also extremely practical.
Care for the canvas with any detergent or non-abrasive cleaning products.
3D wallpaper in the interior of different rooms
We recommend choosing 3D wallpaper for the interior of your apartment carefully - the design will remain for a long time, and it is important that over time it does not begin to irritate. Choose canvases based on the purpose of the room, rather than the desired color or appearance.
In the living room
The living room is the place where we spend greatest number time. We recommend choosing 3D wallpaper for the interior of the hall, taking into account the constant change of activity. They should not serve as an irritant, but they also do not have to force the brain to constantly work.
![](https://i1.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image9-min-27.jpg)
Popular shades for the hall:
- eggplant and burgundy;
- grey;
- pastel colors;
- black;
- turquoise;
- lilac.
![](https://i0.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image2-min-31.jpg)
In the kitchen
Selection of 3D wallpaper for the kitchen – not an easy task. The walls become dirty during the cooking process, no matter how careful you are about it. The choice of wallpaper directly depends on the layout of the kitchen.
![](https://i0.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image21-min-13.jpg)
![]() | The coating should not include contrasting or contradictory shades. |
![]() | It is not recommended to apply drawings with large images - they seriously reduce the space. |
![]() | If in the kitchen they prevail bright colors in furniture: the design is kept in soothing colors to maintain balance. |
![]() | Don't forget about zoning. When dividing a room into zones, the stylistic environment is automatically distributed. |
The dining area is dominated by 3D wallpaper with fruits, coffee beans or Provençal landscapes. The paintings on the walls, observed during lunch and dinner, should evoke an extremely positive mood.
In the bathroom
Wallpaper with a 3D effect on the bathroom wall is a trend that appeared not so long ago.
![](https://i1.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image1-min-24.jpg)
![](https://i1.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image34-min-8.jpg)
In such a room, the same rules of projection apply - to see the image, you need to position a certain area. It is not recommended to buy wallpaper for the bathtub with the 3D effect of giant fish and ships; they look extremely unattractive.
Take soft blue and light green colors, they visually enlarge the room. Concentrate on lighting: since there are usually no windows in the bathroom, it is more logical to choose the shade of the wallpaper based on the appearance of the canvas in electric light.
In the bedroom
The bedroom is a traditional place of rest and peace. This does not mean that they decorate the room exclusively with calm shades. It all depends on the theme and style of the room.
![](https://i1.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image40-min-8.jpg)
The most popular wallpapers in the bathroom are in loft, modern and hi-tech styles. Urban notes are used - images of night cities, landmarks, landscapes, flora and fauna. Images look better behind the head of the bed rather than in front of it.
The hallway is small, so keep in mind that the canvas is selected here in such a way as to visually increase the area (and not vice versa).
Look at the lighting - if it's not enough, use it pastel colors(beige, peach). Cold colors visually expand the hallway. Light colors get dirty faster. We recommend taking a closer look at the following decisions for walls:
- city paintings;
- natural views;
- abstract, geometric patterns;
- stylized images (collages).
Modern design trends allow the use of one color and material, or their combination. 3D canvases are used in conjunction with brick, stone, and plaster.
Classification by type
There are several types of wall covering divisions:
- standard;
- panoramic;
- fluorescent;
- LED;
- passing into the floor.
The name speaks for itself - these paintings are considered simple and standard option. For them, the drawing is not specially selected; the composition is ordinary geometric shapes or abstraction. Sold in standard rolls 530 mm wide. Used for:
- zoning the room (bedroom, hallway, kitchen);
- visual expansion of space (walls and ceilings);
Pairs well with the following materials:
- tree;
- leather;
- plastic.
Panoramic canvases are glued to the entire wall. A specific design is applied to them, which looks like one big picture.
![](https://i2.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image57-min-3.jpg)
Sometimes a painting is placed on several walls. Abstractions and geometry are rarely used, much more often realistic views are used.
For panoramic wallpaper choose:
- projections of landmarks and cities;
- nature (ocean, starry sky);
- flora and fauna;
- copies of paintings.
- bars, cafes and restaurants.
- night clubs and discos;
- casinos, karaoke halls.
![](https://i2.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image28-min-11.jpg)
The secret of stereoscopic 3D wallpaper for walls lies in the use of special phosphor, phosphor or fluorescent paints. The canvas not only acquires the quality of glowing in the dark, but also obtains the necessary three-dimensional effect.
LED
They work due to an electronic system consisting of a chip and large quantity LEDs. The color lighting can be changed remotely using a remote control - it’s very atmospheric to play with light, focusing on the mood of those present. The technology is impressive, but requires scrupulous maintenance and is expensive.
![](https://i0.wp.com/tvoidvor.com/wp-content/uploads/image47-min-4.jpg)
Such masterpieces are made by hand. After the artist has prepared the required sketch and printed it, another specialist attaches the diodes to the canvases with glue and tweezers.

Flowing into the floor
The effect is achieved through the use of self-leveling panels attached to both the walls and the floor. It looks impressive, but this type of design is more appropriate for a studio than for an ordinary residential building.

Sticking and care
Despite the apparent design complexity, gluing 3D wallpaper with your own hands is simple. The process consists of three stages:
- surface preparation;
- selection of glue and its preparation;
- applying the canvas to the wall.
Preparing walls for gluing
To properly hang wallpaper, you need to prepare the wall for gluing.
![]() | 1. Wet the old wallpaper with a roller of water, wait 5-7 minutes until it swells. After that, use a spatula to remove them. |
![]() | 2. Let the wall dry and then level it. Tikkurila adhesive primer and a wide spatula are suitable for this. Apply a thin layer of 1-2 mm to the wall and wait until it dries. |
![]() | 3. Construction level mark areas for smoothing. Using putty, we cover the uneven areas. Take finishing putty(KNAUF or PROFORM). |
Glue selection
![]() | 4. Prepare the dishes. A plastic bucket with a volume of 10 or 20 liters will do. |
![]() | 5. Pour water into a bucket (5 liters). |
![]() | 6. Create a funnel in the water, then pour glue into it, gradually stirring it. |
![]() | 7. Wait 10 minutes for the mixture to settle, then stir again. |
The water temperature should be at room temperature, otherwise the glue will form clumps.
How to apply 3D wallpaper
Once again, make sure that the wallpaper is the right size for your wall and you won’t have to cut it off at the edges. The pasting process is quite simple:
![]() | 8. Lay out the first piece of wallpaper and apply glue for it on the wall. |
![]() | 9. Place the first block on the wall. Pre-roll horizontally or vertically to simplify the procedure. |
![]() | 10. Run a roller to remove bubbles and lumps from the center outwards. |
![]() | 11. Butt the remaining pieces together. Go over with a roller and remove any bubbles. |
Finally, run a dry cloth over the surface to remove any remaining glue or bubbles. The first strip is glued strictly according to the markings. Glue only end-to-end, otherwise the pattern will “float” and you won’t get the desired 3D feeling.
Photo of applying 3D wallpaper on the wall with the process sequence:
- Apply glue to the previously marked wall.
- Glue the first part of the composition according to the markings.
- We make sure that no joints are formed.
- We consistently complete the composition.
If any air bubbles remain as a result, prick them with a needle.
How to care for 3D wallpaper
Wallpaper does not require careful care - wash it with a damp cloth using mild detergents or soap solution.
Suitable for this type of cleaning special means. At home, you can make the following solution yourself:
- take 1 liter of water at room temperature;
- add 25-30 g of soda;
- stir and wet the sponge with it.
If after reading you change your mind about using 3D on your walls, read about . The article examines the pasting process, features and characteristics.
What to look for when buying
- Density– thin fabrics will not work because they will wrinkle and tear. They show through irregularities and roughness on the walls.
- Drawing– the paint on the image should lie flat, without smudges.
- Roll– there should be no cracks or nicks on it.

Finishing coating for walls with a 3D effect will create a unique and unusual interior for any room. Not so long ago, not every person could afford these 3D wallpapers for walls; they were made mainly to order and at very high prices. high price. But almost all innovations sooner or later become available to most people. This latest development finishing wall covering, which is a drawing applied to the canvas and, upon visual inspection, creates the impression of three-dimensionality of the image.
What is 3D wallpaper for walls?
What does the term 3d mean? This word comes from the English three–dimensional, which means three-dimensional. Absolutely every object has three dimensions: width, height and length.
Thanks to 3-dimensional graphics, a drawing is created that, upon visual inspection, has volume, even if it is made on a completely flat surface.
And if we take into account that progress does not stand still, then most likely, in a few years it will be possible to create almost one hundred percent 3-dimensional reality in your apartment using wall coverings in 3D format.
The peculiarity is that the drawing depicted on them seems to protrude into the space of the room with a completely flat wall. This type of wall covering will add originality to the room, as it is made to order.
A person who orders such wallpaper for himself chooses photographs, the images from which will be transferred to the surface of the canvas. The customer also has the opportunity to provide his photos.
The 3D effect is achieved through the use of reflective particles that refract light rays. True, the space of the room should be large enough. To make it work desired effect, the image must be viewed from some distance.
Such 3D wallpaper will appeal to a person who likes to surprise. They will also be of interest to those who want to make their interior unique.
The living room is a place where family and friends gather. Using 3D wallpaper for the walls of the living room, you can get an unusual interior that will create comfort or a festive atmosphere. The three-dimensional image creates the effect of volume of the room, the drawing seems to protrude from the wall into the room. Wallpaper is made in the same style as the furniture, floor and ceiling decoration, and curtains. Coverings with three-dimensional patterns can be glued not only to walls, but also to ceilings, doors, decorative partitions made of plasterboard, cabinet doors.
The production of three-dimensional wallpaper is based on the production technology of photo wallpaper. First, computer modeling of the design is carried out, colors are selected in special programs, and then printing is performed. Large-format printing is carried out on a roll base of any type: paper, vinyl, non-woven. Wallpaper on paper based have more low price, but the appearance and service life of such coatings are significantly inferior to coatings made from expensive materials.
Highlight the following types wallpaper:
- single - independent decorative fragments, paintings that are pasted on a wall, partition, sometimes framed;
- panoramic canvases have large size and are placed on several walls, forming realistic scenes;
- fluorescent contain special substances in the paint layer that glow in the dark;
- LED strips are used in conjunction with a lighting system. The most difficult to use and expensive type.

To add shine to the image, the surface of the wallpaper is laminated. Matte products can have a rough or textured surface. In the production of luxury 3D canvases, materials based on silk or viscose are used. To increase durability and abrasion resistance, some images are coated with an anti-erasure coating.
Advantages of 3D wallpaper
Popular 3D wallpapers with voluminous and realistic designs have the following advantages:
- a large selection of patterns allows you to choose the most suitable option overall design living room;
- simple gluing technology, possibility self-execution works;
- 3D images are printed different sizes. You can glue several walls or one small area;
- are made from quality materials, safe dyes are used for drawing;
- can be used when zoning a room and to create the visual effect of an expanded space, which can be seen in the photo;
- resistant to damage, abrasion, ultraviolet radiation, and do not lose their original appearance for a long time.
Canvases with three-dimensional patterns have all the qualities necessary for their quick gluing, easy care and durability.
Disadvantages and limitations in use
However, there are disadvantages and limitations in the use of this type of wallpaper. The volumetric effect is better visible from a certain distance; in small rooms it is difficult to achieve such an effect. Large or bright drawings, like in the photo, can quickly become boring. At the same time, prolonged perception of three-dimensional images can provoke fatigue or increased excitability.
In addition, the use of expensive paints and fabrics in production increases the price of wallpaper. The cost of 1 m 2 wallpaper with a three-dimensional image exceeds the cost regular wallpaper 2-3 times. When making canvases to order, there is a possibility that when glued to the wall, the pattern will not match the intended one. The lighting characteristics of the room can slightly change the three-dimensionality of the image.
How to choose a color and pattern
When choosing a wallpaper pattern, take into account the color scheme general interior, room illumination. For small rooms, you should not choose colors that contrast with the walls and floor. It is better to prefer beige, milky, light gray fabrics. Examples of wallpaper in pastel colors can be seen in the photo accompanying the article. For big ones bright rooms There are no restrictions on color choice. Just take into account that when choosing canvases with predominant dark volumetric patterns, you need to use light-colored wallpaper for the remaining walls.
If the windows of the guest room face north, then light ones are preferable. warm colors designs: peach, yellow, pink. They will add light and warmth. For rooms where there is always a lot of sunlight, you can choose blue, green, gray drawings. When gluing canvases with bright patterns the colors of the picture should not contradict the general color scheme interior
Wallpaper with a three-dimensional effect can also be glued to the ceiling. In this case, canvases with fluorescent pigments are used, forming a pattern of the starry sky and northern lights. At artificial lighting such drawings will glow beautifully. A ceiling with wallpaper imitating a starry sky can be seen in the photo.
Common topics
The walls of the guest room can be covered with 3D wallpaper of one of the following themes:
- wildlife - trees, flowers, animals, waterfalls, mountains. Contribute to the creation of a calm and harmonious atmosphere;
- drawings imitating the continuation of the interior - window, terrace and balcony, staircase. Allows you to visually expand the space;
- urban motifs - city landscapes and panoramas, skyscrapers and bridges. Create a dynamic atmosphere;
- historical subjects - frescoes, paintings, castles. Add romance and softness to the interior;
- abstract patterns, graphic and geometric images are suitable for minimalist interiors;
- objects in larger sizes are used to place accents in the interior.
The choice of theme is made taking into account the overall interior of the room; an example can be seen in the photo. Guest room in classic style They will be decorated with images of castles, wildlife, drawings imitating windows, balconies. On plasterboard partitions You can paste canvases with images bookcase, decorated in antique style.
Urban designs, geometric shapes, and abstract patterns are suitable for high-tech style. Rooms decorated according to Feng Shui asian style, will be decorated with canvases depicting cherry blossoms, peacocks, mountains.
Choice depending on the size of the living room
In small living rooms you cannot use bright large drawings, they will create a pressing effect. It is better to use canvases with a perspective image that are glued to the entire wall. This way you can achieve the visual effect of expanded space. Predominance pastel colors in the picture will reduce the pressing effect of the picture, and the darkened side of the living room will visually move away.
For spacious, bright rooms there are no restrictions; the design can be multi-colored, shiny, textured. But if as color accent The interior uses furniture with bright upholstery, curtains or other accessories, then the color of the wallpaper should be calm and not draw attention. Canvases with a glossy sheen are not suitable for walls opposite the window; there will be reflections in the picture that distort the image.
If zoning is planned using wallpaper with a three-dimensional pattern, then the theme and pattern must correspond to the allocated zones. For example, in the recreation area you can use images of waterfalls and plants, and for the reception area, bright abstract images are suitable. Examples of room zoning using three-dimensional images can be seen in the photo.
Price overview
Specifics of production according to custom sizes and the high cost of wallpaper with a three-dimensional pattern leads to the fact that ready-made canvases are practically not sold; they are made to order. The price depends on the base material and the manufacturer.
The main points of gluing wallpaper with a three-dimensional pattern
In order for the three-dimensional image to look good on the wall, it is necessary to carefully level the surface to be pasted. First, remove the remnants of old coatings, then you need to putty the uneven areas. After the putty has dried, its surface is sanded. Then a layer of primer is applied to ensure the strength of the surface. The canvases are cut and joined according to the pattern.
When choosing a glue, you must take into account the recommendations of wallpaper manufacturers different bases. You can use both universal adhesives and glue for a specific type of wallpaper, vinyl, paper, non-woven. When gluing, the composition is applied to the wall. Adjacent wallpaper sheets are glued end to end. The air trapped between the canvases and the surface of the walls must be removed with a rubber roller so that bubbles do not form after drying. You can ventilate the room after the wallpaper has completely dried.
Care
When cleaning an apartment, all types of 3D wallpaper can be wiped with a dry soft cloth, preferably microfiber. Non-woven fabrics or vinyl based with a water-repellent coating can be cleaned with delicate detergent solutions. It is prohibited to use abrasive compounds or sharp objects for cleaning.
When using heating household appliances they must be placed at a distance of at least 20 cm from walls covered with three-dimensional canvases. Create unique design Modern 3D wallpaper will help in guest rooms. Usage modern materials ensures the durability of the coating and ease of use.
Many of us have vivid memories of photo wallpapers. A birch grove or waterfall, a forest edge or a gazebo with climbing plants were present in almost every Russian apartment at the end of the last century. The new generation of photo wallpapers can hardly be compared with those examples of finishing materials used to create an accent surface. High quality printing, incredibly realistic image, what is called “with the effect of presence”, materials that do not attract dust, can withstand humidity and temperature changes, can be applied not only to smooth walls, but also textured surfaces, cabinet doors - all this modern photo wallpaper for finishing rooms with a wide variety of functional loads. Now add to high quality the materials themselves, a realistic 3D image, when the picture seems to protrude from the canvas directly into the room, and you will get the ideal creation option accent wall indoors, bringing originality to even the most ordinary interior, creating a special, thematic atmosphere.
Features of photo wallpaper with 3D effect
Wallpaper with a 3D effect is a canvas with a wide-format image for walls and other surfaces:
- the main feature is a three-dimensional image that seems to move from the surface of the wall into the room;
- wallpapers with a 3D effect are created using the technology of making photo wallpapers - first in a special computer program an image is formed, the necessary shades are selected, then printing is performed;
- You can create an image on any topic - from a huge family portrait to an abstract drawing.
Large-format printing with a 3D effect can be produced on canvases from:
- paper;
- vinyl cloth;
- non-woven base.
The choice of base material for printing allows you to use photo wallpaper in various rooms. Most eco-friendly option on paper basis can be used in bedrooms and children's rooms, living rooms, libraries, offices and even dining rooms. In areas with a high risk of contamination, humidity and possible mechanical impact can be used on walls (hallways, corridors, kitchens and even bathrooms) vinyl wallpaper on a non-woven base with a wide-format image.
Photo wallpaper with a wide-format image can be pasted not only on walls, but also on the following surfaces:
- ceiling;
- interior partitions made of plasterboard;
- cabinet doors;
- glass and mirror surfaces as a fragmentary image.
Types of 3D wallpaper with photo printing
The market for modern finishing materials with large format printing is incredibly wide. Among the entire assortment, the following types of photo wallpapers can be distinguished:
![](https://i0.wp.com/remontbp.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/42-12.jpg)
Options for use in the interior for finishing and decoration
Canvases with three-dimensional images can be used in rooms for any purpose: living rooms, bedrooms, children's rooms, dining rooms and kitchens, offices and libraries, hallways, corridors and other utilitarian spaces. Canvases with large format printing can be glued either to the entire wall (or to two adjacent surfaces) or to decorate part of vertical plane. You can decorate the ceiling (most often an image of a cloudy or starry sky is used) in the bedroom or children's room.
Wallpaper with a 3D effect can be used to visually increase the space of small rooms. For example, a path, staircase or road going into the distance will visually erase the boundaries of the room, sending our gaze into the distance. Even for very small rooms (corridors, bathrooms, spaces near stairs), this visual effect gives an excellent result - the rooms seem to have a continuation in the drawn world.
Photo wallpapers in themselves have an eye-catching effect; there is no point in using very bright colors or variegated combinations to create an accent in the interior. Even a black and white image becomes the focal point of the room if it extends across the entire wall, and especially two adjacent surfaces.
IN bedroom it is necessary to create a relaxing atmosphere for good rest. Ideal option Images of photo wallpaper in this case are a natural landscape, photos of plants, flowers. Most often, wallpaper with a 3D effect is used to decorate the wall behind the head of the bed, but much depends on the shape and size of the room, the location of window and door openings.
IN living room you can use both natural and city landscapes, abstract images, own photos, drawings of animals, insects and any objects in macro photography. It all depends on the design concept of the common room chosen color palette, finishing of adjacent surfaces - floors, ceilings and other walls.
Decorating an accent wall in office depends on what effect you would like to achieve from the image. If you need to keep yourself in good shape to work from home, then you need a dynamic drawing. If you need a relaxing atmosphere to inspire creative activity, then landscapes, plants, and flowers will be an ideal option.
IN hallways, corridors, spaces near stairs, as a rule, there is a disadvantage usable area, so it makes sense to use images that help visually increase the volume of the room, or opt for abstract drawings. But it all depends on the style of interior design and the place to create an accent surface. Some types of wallpaper with a 3D effect go well with wall panels, moldings, wood inserts.
IN kitchen And dining rooms Experts do not recommend using thematic images with household items, ready-made dishes or their components - fruits, vegetables and other products. Large photo food will constantly provoke an influx of appetite, it is better to opt for neutral natural images - landscapes, plants, flowers, as well as abstract drawings.
The world of finishing materials does not stand in one place. For lately many appeared various options, which changed the idea of repair. Until recently, it seemed that 3D only happened in movies or children's drawings. But 3D wallpaper is already in full use, which allows you to change the interior beyond recognition. Of course, these products remain unknown to many, but the situation is constantly changing.
What are 3D wallpapers, what are their advantages and disadvantages?
3D wallpapers are images that are distinguished by wide-format designs. It's hard to imagine, but their peculiarity is to obtain a three-dimensional effect. That is, the elements acquire volume and look like a “living” part of the surrounding space. Undoubtedly, the use of this material expands the boundaries of design solutions.
Advantages:
- Good wear resistance.
- Possibility of cleaning with detergents.
- Durability.
- No harmful substances in the composition.
![](https://i0.wp.com/otdelkagid.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1905.jpg)
Indeed, these products have all necessary qualities which are required to obtain an excellent surface. Although it is the decorative components that are dominant.
But there are also negative aspects that need to be taken into account:
- Expensive. Wallpaper with a 3D effect has a fairly high price. What limits their use.
- Premises requirements. It's hard to imagine them in small room, where the remaining finishing materials belong to the “economy” category.
- Some options are made to order. This must be taken into account. The waiting period can range from a week to several months.
- Lack of possibility for restoration. If the picture is unsuccessfully damaged, you will have to change the entire composition.
![](https://i2.wp.com/otdelkagid.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1906.jpg)
Naturally, one should approach this choice carefully. Think it through right away general combination all interior details.
Types of 3D wallpaper
It is worth considering that this material is divided into three main varieties, which differ in their technical specifications. Separately, you should consider 3D wallpapers that have additional or auxiliary elements. It is through them that the necessary transformation is created.
Main types
- Standard option
This option speaks for itself. The product is a canvas standard size. The 3D image is not composite. Often this simple patterns or other geometric shapes. - Single option
Is a canvas of a given size. Each element represents a complete fragment of the image. They are used in the interior in two varieties: a drawing that focuses attention, but is included in a specific composition, or decorated in a frame, becoming an independent element. - Panoramic option
This is 3D wallpaper, which is a large panel. They are capable of completely covering one or more walls. That is, the drawing is already completely put together. Located along the perimeter of the entire premises, the greatest effect is achieved.
Fluorescent
If you look closely at them daylight, then it turns out that this is a simple three-dimensional wallpaper. Yes, they have a rather bright pattern, but that is not what makes them so special. When dusk comes, they change completely.
The secret of this transformation is quite simple. The effect is achieved through the use fluorescent lamps, which act as a backlight. This method allows you to “revive” the image and give it extraordinary realism.
LED
It can be said without exaggeration that this option is the most popular and interesting. These volumetric wallpaper represent a huge electronic system, which consists of many LEDs. More precisely, it is equipped with LED backlighting.
But the attractiveness of this product lies in something completely different. This system can be controlled. This is done using the remote control, as well as the application for mobile phones. It becomes possible to select the necessary parameters and create an independent composition. Thus, it is possible to constantly obtain new designs.
![](https://i2.wp.com/otdelkagid.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1889.jpg)
Note! It is natural that Chinese manufacturers We couldn’t ignore these finishing materials. But the quality, which leaves much to be desired, will create many problems during installation and operation.
Scope of use
3d wallpaper in the interior - used everywhere. In each room they will be able to take their special place:
Modern technologies make it possible not only to stick 3D wallpaper on the wall, but also to create a 3D model of the room. This makes it possible to think through everything in advance so that there are no unnecessary disappointments later.
Secrets of choosing depending on the size of the room

Anyone who decides to transform their premises with the help of this product must understand that self sticker requires great care and some experience. If this is not the case, then it is better to entrust the work to specialists who will bear all responsibility. Especially when backlit options are used.
In general, 3D wallpaper for walls is only “scary” in appearance. They are glued according to the principle that is used for non-woven materials. General recommendations are:
- First, prepare the wall. This stage is approached very carefully. Due to the fact that such products are not cheap, it is better to worry about the reliability and quality of the base. Therefore, the old decorative layer is completely removed. The surface is thoroughly inspected, if traces of destruction are noticeable, then the entire plastered area is removed. And make a new starting and finishing layer putties. The result should be a smooth base that will not have defects.
- You should immediately worry and invite help. Especially when it comes to panoramic images. One should not even begin such a process.
- Take into account that three-dimensional wallpapers are joined to obtain the desired effect. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the required length and trim it. This is all done on the floor to fit the different parts. It is important to understand that any distortion will ruin the entire work.
- Markings are also made on the wall, the joints are marked. Therefore, it is so important that the surface is initially smooth and the corners are aligned.
- To create a reliable adhesion, glue is used, which is made for working with heavy materials. It is applied exclusively to the wall, previously coated with two layers of primer.
- You also need to keep an eye on temperature indicator. It should be within twenty-three degrees (deviations of a couple of degrees in both directions are possible). Just like when working with simple options, this product is very afraid of any drafts. All these requirements must be met during pasting and after. Complete drying occurs within two days. Then trimming is done, if necessary.
- You will also need to set the backlight correctly. Sometimes it is necessary to use additional devices (transformers). In addition, it is necessary to provide a power supply.
Note! Today it is quite difficult to buy wallpaper with a 3D effect. Especially when it comes to small cities. Of course, you can order them online, but no one will give a guarantee of quality.
Given finishing material is the first step on the path to the future. You can soon expect an increase in the variety of products and their availability.
