Modern designers in the study of various materials often make unusual discoveries, which previously could only appear from the side of a fairy tale plot. One of such novelties in interior design is the so-called blossoming wallpaper.
What are blossoming wallpapers?
The wallpaper created by the Chinese designer Shi Yuan, under the influence of ambient temperature, literally begins to blossom before our eyes. This effect was achieved due to ultra-sensitive reactive paint (Reactive Paint), which was covered with wallpaper surfaces. Depending on the temperature, the paint appears in several stages. At a temperature of 15 degrees, the pattern on the wallpaper with tiny buds remains the same as usual, at 25 degrees - buds begin to grow in size and bloom, and already at a temperature of 35 degrees, lush flowers appear on the walls of the room.

Thus, the best solution is to glue such wallpaper only those parts of the room that are near the heating devices or on which the rays of the hot sun often fall.
In addition to blossoming wallpaper, to create an original room interior, Shi Yuan also offered original tapestries that have exactly the same properties. Such a tapestry will be an excellent decoration for any living room, and your guests will be surprised by the unusual transformation of the picture.

It is worth noting that in order to cause a "blossoming" paint reaction, it is not necessary to wait for a hot summer or a heating season. It's enough just to lean against the wall with your back, touch your palm or push the heater - and bright flowers will immediately decorate your room.
By the way, it should be said that the idea of flowering wallpaper originated in the not so far 70s. Then, the so-called "mood rings" were invented. These were stones that could change their color depending on the temperature of the person's hands. In jet paints, which the Chinese designer used now, liquid crystals of the same kind as in the "mood rings" were used.
Disadvantages of flowering wallpaper
- Firstly, at the moment the blossoming wallpaper has not gone through the necessary research. In particular, the effect of reactive paint on the human body has not been established. There are concerns that this paint, when heated, releases harmful substances into the air, so do not rush to buy a novelty.
- Secondly, it is almost impossible to warm the room to a warm room to such a temperature that all walls "blossom" completely. Therefore, the flowers will appear in places, near the heating devices, and this is unlikely to be beautiful, unless of course this is not a special design idea.
- Thirdly, like all new inventions, blossoming wallpaper has a rather high price - $ 25 per square meter. So, the best is not to glue them all the room, but to use only in some places where they will surely bloom!
Other impressive and unusual wallpapers are fluorescent wallpaper , the pattern on which glows in the dark.
