Dealing with space in backgrounds wallpaper

While discussing and selecting a great backgrounds wallpaper, we should also always consider the terms of positive and negative spaces. Positive space is quite simply the thing you are painting, whereas negative space is the space between the object and the rest of the scene. However, this does not mean background is always negative space and vice versa. Using a backgrounds wallpaper can also turn the process of positive and negative space on its head, as the gorgeous designs in our assortment, giving strong prominence to the background itself, making it into the subject advertedly or inadvertedly, depending on your overall design or redecoration scheme.

The significance of backgrounds wallpaper

Things to consider when choosing your backgrounds wallpaper

To establish a well-placed and eye-catching backgrounds wallpaper, you have to contemplate mainly the following elements. First of all is perspective which is the art technique for creating an illusion of three-dimensions, namely depth and space on a two-dimensional, or flat, surface. Perspective is what makes a backgrounds wallpaper have form, distance, and look realistic. Take for instance the motif Joined Light Wood. Here you can see tiles of wood so lifelike that you can almost feel like bumping into it.

Intensity in backgrounds wallpaper

Intensity pertains to the combination or lack thereof of strong colours. Since in paintings, the nearest object will be more dark in tone and more saturated in hue, backgrounds wallpaper's colours are very important in choosing it according to the aesthetic. However, as the distance grows these colours tend to fade away and thus the colour intensity decreases. This makes the energy of a carefully chosen backgrounds wallpaper very crucial. Check out the beautiful Horizon - Catawba, where two very clashing colours are combined in one brilliant backgrounds wallpaper, able to look good in any space it is selected to spruce up.
