Starting the repair of our premises, we first of all think about the choice of wallpaper, which color, pattern and material to choose. We try to calculate the required amount of material so that there is exactly enough for all the work and there is a small margin. Since wallpapers are sold in rolls, the task is not an easy one. Often, after pasting the walls, a certain amount of canvas remains. Throwing away leftovers is not the best solution, because. they may be needed for a small repair of already pasted wallpaper. It is also possible to find other uses for them, decorating furniture, zoning the space in the room, etc.
Walls and border
The first way to use the remnants of the canvas is to highlight an accent on one of the walls.You need to choose a small area on the wall and paste wallpaper there, which will clearly stand out. When choosing this method, you need to be attentive to two points so as not to spoil the overall picture of the interior.
Firstly, the accent area should not be large, no more than 10% of the total wall area, in which case it will look advantageous. The second point is the choice of color. The best solution is to use wallpapers of the same theme, but in a different color. Or choose the most compatible colors. In the case of striped patterns, it is easiest to make a wallpaper border (it is easier to cut along the line). This technique is used for zoning in order to highlight the pattern on the wall or any area of the room.
Bedside area
The bedside area is most often in contact with a person. . For this reason, a reasonable option would be to paste over this area with high-quality vinyl wallpaper. Such wallpapers are not afraid of contact with water and can be washed as needed. Do not forget that such a solution looks quite interesting.
Polluted places
Here the principle is similar to pasting the area at the head of the bed. In any apartment there are places where wallpaper contacts a person, objects, animals. Usually these are the corners of the walls in the hallway, corridor or at the exit from the kitchen. Additional gluing (especially non-woven wallpaper) will extend the life of such areas and save you time and money in the future.
decorative panel
It is used in those rooms where the walls are covered with plain wallpaper. An easy way to make something that looks like a painting. Wallpaper with an interesting pattern or mosaic is perfect.As a result, you will get an interesting look of the room, and not a monochromatic design.
Furniture

- To prepare the surface, it must be sanded;
- Glue the surfaces with the remnants of the canvas using PVA glue;
