Where are the Wallpapers with Glitter Used?

The most popular colors of glitter are gold and silver. It is believed that gold glitters blend better with the warm colors: coral, peach, beige, sand or coffee. But silver glitters suit better with cool colors: blue, light blue, grey, violet.

The effect of surface gloss depends on how much glitter is added to the starting material. If you plan to create only easy glow noticeable in good light, one package of glitter per 1 kg of dry wallpaper will be enough. If you need to fill your room with impeccable exquisite shine, you will need 3-5 packages. The more glitter you use, the more pronounced effect you will achieve.

Classical interiors do not need such an expression: it is quite enough to add just a slight accent. But if you decide to recreate the atmosphere of Baroque palace or a charming boudoir in the oriental style, feel free to use plenty of glitter.
