Prej in potem // before and after

Čeprav veliko ljudi meni, da bi morala biti otroška soba čim bolj barvita in razigrana, še vedno zagovarjam, da 'manj je več', tudi v otroški sobi. To je pravi svet v malem in se spreminja in prilagaja skupaj z otroško igro. V enem trenutku je kuhinja, drugič bolnišnica, živalski vrt, Legoland, kraljestvo, slikarski atelje... poleg vsega pa je še vedno spalnica in prostor za branje ali učenje. Zato zagovarjam, da so otroške sobe nevtralne in umirjene. Naj bo otroška soba kot belo platno, ki samo čaka, da ga zapolni otroška domišljija. Kljub temu, pa je lahko otroška še vedno lepa. Eden izmed načinov, kako jo lahko popestrimo so naprimer stenske tapete. :)

Many people think that the children's room should be as colorful and playful as possible, but I still insist that "less is more". Yes, also in the children's room. This special room in your home is more than just a regular room. It's the real world in a small space. One day it becomes a kitchen, the next day it's a hospital, then a zoo, the Legoland, a kingdom, a painter's studio... but it's still a place to sleep, read and study. I believe the room should be neutral and calm. The children's room should be like a white canvas, waiting to be filled with children's imagination. That doesn't mean it can't be pretty. One way to make it a little more special is to install wallpapers. :)

Ta objava je nastala v sodelovanju s Švedskim podjetjem Photowall. Z njimi sem prvič sodelovala dve leti nazaj (več o takratnem sodelovanju si lahko prebereš TUKAJ). Ker sem bila in še vedno sem nad njihovim platnom navdušena (še vedno izgleda natančno takšno, kot dve leti nazaj), sem z veseljem pristala na ponovno sodelovanje. Tokrat sem testirala njihove stenske tapete.

Na voljo imajo tapete za vse okuse. In četudi je izbira ogromna, ponujajo tudi prilagoditev grafik (če bi si npr. nekje zaželel/a imeti drugačen lik, barvo ali kaj podobnega), lahko jim pošlješ tudi svojo fotografijo ali svojo grafiko in ti naredijo unikatne tapete, točno takšne, kot si želiš.

Zame je bila izbira skorajda malce prevelika, saj sem potrebovala kar nekaj časa, da sem pregledala galerijo izdelkov in se odločila katere bi. :)

KAKO SEM IZBRALA PRIMERNE TAPETE?

V mislih sem imela več kriterijev.

1. Prostor je majhen, zato sem želela, da so tapete čim bolj svetle in neutralne, da ne bodo vizualno pomanjšale prostora.

2. Želela sem, da vzorec na tapeti služi kot ozadje, kot popestritev stene, na katero lahko brez težav obesim slike in dekorativne elemente, pri tem pa se le ti ne "izgubijo" v kakšnem močnem vzorcu ali fotografiji.

3. Izbira stene mi tudi ni dala miru. Najprej sem želela dati tapeto na tisto steno, ki jo najprej zagledaš, ko prideš v prostor, ampak sem se zaradi težav z vlago raje odločila za drugo, notranjo steno.

4. Standardne ali premium tapete? Odločila sem se za premium, ker se jo lahko čisti s čistili, je zelo odporna na praske, na njej se ne odbija sončna svetloba in ima dodaten mat nanos. Ker gre za otroško sobo, so se mi vsi navedeni kriteriji zdeli zelo pomembni.

Odločila sem se za tapeto s sivkastimi šestkotniki, poleg pa sem izbrala še paket orodja, ki ti pride pri lepljenju tapet zelo prav, če takšnih pripomočkov nimaš doma. Paket je prispel v treh dneh in zabava se je začela. :)

This blog post was created in collaboration with the Swedish company Photowall. We've already collaborated two years ago (you can read more about my first collaboration HERE). I was and I still am very pleased with their canvas print (it still looks exactly like it did two years ago), I gladly agreed to another collaboration. This time I tested their wallpapers.

They have wallpapers for every taste. And even though there are so many options, they still offer you customization of the wallpaper's designs (maybe you want to change the colour, add or change some elements, or something like that). You can also send them your own photo or graphics and they will make you a unique wallpaper, just the way you want it.

If you ask me, there are almost too many wallpapers to choose from as it took me quite some time to decide which one I want. :D

HOW DID I CHOOSE THE PERFECT WALLPAPER?

I had several criteria in my mind:

1. I wanted bright and neutral wallpaper because the room is small and dark wallpapers would make it look smaller.

2. I wanted the pattern on the wallpaper serves as a background, to make the wall more interesting and I can hang on that wall some decorative elements and photos without "losing" them in the wallpaper's design.

3. It took me some time to choose one wall in the room. Firstly, I wanted to install the wallpaper on the wall you see, when you enter the room, but we have some problems with moisture there. I chose the wall on the opposite side of the window instead.

4. Standard or premium quality? I decided to go with the premium quality because it's suitable for cleaning products, they are scrape- resistant, antireflective and they have an extra matte finish. Since we are talking about a children's room, all the above criteria seemed very important to me.

I chose the wallpaper with grey hexagons and then I chose also the wallpaper kit, which is perfect if you don't have the right tools at home. The package arrived in three days and the fun began. :)

PRIPRAVA NA DELO

Kot že veš, se rada lotim raznoraznih del, ampak pred lepljenjem tapet me je bilo zelo strah, da bom kaj zafrknila in jih uničila. Zato sem dvakrat natančno prebrala priložena navodila in si dvakrat pogledala video na njihovi spletni strani, ki pokaže, kako lepljenje tapet sploh poteka.

Poleg pribora za lepljenje tapet, sem dodatno potrebovala še vedro (za pripravo lepila), palico za mešanje lepila (jaz sem vzela kar staro kuhalnico), gobico in krpo, s katerima sem brisala lepilo, ki mi je ponesreči šlo na sprednjo stran tapet ali na tla. Če si bolj majhne rasti, zagotovo potrebuješ še lestev. :) Tapete lahko brez težav nalepi ena oseba. Dodaten par rok bi mi prišel prav mogoče le pri nanašanju lepila, da bi šlo hitreje, sem pa brez večjih težav tapete v celoti nalepila sama.

Skozi sam postopek ne bom šla, saj je veliko lažje, če si pogledaš video TUKAJ. Naj pa povem, da sem za 4 m dolgo in 2,5m visoko steno porabila vse skupaj kakšne 4 ure.

WORK PREPARATION

As you already know, I like to do all sorts of things, but before I started, I was very scared that I'd mess something up and destroy the wallpaper. So that's what I did. I carefully read the instructions twice and I watched the video on their website (twice), which shows you very well how to install the wallpaper.

Other than a wallpaper kit, I needed also a bucket (to prepare the glue), a stick for mixing the glue (I used an old big wooden spoon), a sponge and a cloth to wipe the glue that accidentally got to the front side of the wallpaper or to the floor. If you are not a very tall person, you definitely need a ladder. :) A wallpaper can be easily installed by one person. An extra pair of hands would come in handy just when applying the glue to make it go faster, otherwise, I installed the wallpaper myself.

I'll not go into details on how to install the wallpaper, because it's easier to watch the video HERE. But let me tell you, that I spent about 4 hours to install the wallpaper on the 4m x 2,5 m wall.

KONČNI REZULTAT

S končnim rezultatom sem več kot zadovoljna. Najbolj me je skrbelo, kako bodo videti stiki, ampak teh se sploh ne opazi, razen če si res pozoren in si jih od bližje pogledaš.

Pri lepljenju sem sicer naredila eno napako, na katero bi te rada opozorila. Vsak kos tapete ima na vrhu črtkano črto, ki jo pred lepljenjem postaviš malo nad stik stropa in stene. Očitno je naš strop malo kriv, saj sem na eni strani začela lepo, ampak ko sem prišla do konca, se je ta črtkana črta pomaknila pod rob. Zato na začetku raje postavi tapeto malo višje, pri naročilu pa upoštevaj, da dimenzijam sten dodaš nekaj rezervnih centimetrov. :)

FINAL RESULT

I'm more than happy with the final result. I was mostly worried about the lines between the strips, but you can't really notice them unless you are really attentive and very close to the wall.

But I made a mistake, I want to warn you about. Each strip has a dashed line on top, which you place on the ceiling, a little above the wall and you cut it off later. Our ceiling is apparently a little bit wavy because I started just fine on the left side, but when I came to the end, the dashed line came from the ceiling to the wall. Just add a few more centimeters, when ordering the wallpaper, and place a wallpaper a little higher when installing. :)
