How to solve the problem: wall decoration in the apartment - 5 ideas for your peace of mind

Modern wall decoration in the apartment is one of the most important stages of any repair. A well-chosen type of decoration will help not only make the interior of your dreams come true, but also save money and time.

And so that you are not based only on the feeling of “oh, but this looks nothing” in the process of choosing a finish, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the most popular and proven materials with their advantages and disadvantages.

What to choose

During the repair process, many may encounter the problem of choosing the right options. It is not surprising, now there are a lot of materials, each of them has its own advantages, it is not clear what to buy. I hope my article will greatly facilitate your task, and you will not regret the money spent.

Idea 1. Wallpaper

For many years, wallpapers still do not want to give the palm in the competition for the most popular finishing material. The range is more than impressive: here you can find relatively inexpensive paper ones, more expensive and durable vinyl ones, and even wallpapers with a 3D effect.

When buying wallpaper, you should consider what room they are intended for:

1. So, what is the best way to finish the kitchen? Of course, vinyl washable wallpaper, which is not afraid of drops of fat and soot.

1. For a nursery, you can stay on light paper or vinyl wallpaper. The second ones are good because it will be possible to remove all the artistic “masterpieces” of your child from them. The first option captivates with its cheapness and the ability to simply replace them with others after a certain time as it gets dirty.

1. If you still decide to decorate the bathroom with wallpaper (not the best solution for me), then it is better to buy a moisture-resistant material. Otherwise, do not be surprised at the appearance of the fungus in the places of the main accumulation of water drops.

1. For the range is not much limited. Depending on the interior, you can opt for non-woven, liquid, fabric, photo and 3D wallpapers.

Sticking

When all the options for decorating the walls in the apartment have been reviewed, and the choice fell on the wallpaper, it's time to figure out how to glue them. This must be done according to the following scheme:

1. Remove old wallpaper, also clean the walls of the glue on which they were held.
2. Use a spatula or a special brush to remove all previous layers of plaster, whitewash or paint.

1. Level the surface with putty to give it an ideal (or so) smoothness, primed.

1. After the final drying of the primer, you can begin the gluing process.
2. If you purchased wallpaper without a pattern, then they should be cut into strips of the same size, while leaving gaps of 2-2.5 cm on both sides. If a pattern is applied to the coating, then the wallpaper will have to be combined according to the pattern. In this case, the consumption of materials will be more.

1. Next, the wallpaper must be smeared with glue and applied to the wall.

1. When the material is attached to the wall, it must be well smoothed from top to bottom and remove air bubbles.

Here is such a small instruction that may be useful to you in the repair process.

Idea 2. Paint

Previously, paint was most often used for cladding the outside of the house, but over time it moved to apartments. Among its main advantages, I can include:

• a huge range of colors;
• variety of textures;
• the ability to decorate the walls with any pattern using special figured rollers and special tools.

The most popular options include the following types of paint:

• alkyd;
• adhesive;
• water emulsion.

I will analyze each of them in more detail.

1. Oil and enamel paints, which are alkyd. This finishing material is excellent for both exterior and interior decoration. Additional benefits include UV and moisture resistance.

Of the minuses, I can single out helplessness against acid and a not very attractive indicator of fire safety.

1. Adhesive paint, or rather its composition, is much more gentle for the body in the process of decorating walls. In addition, it perfectly passes air, which is important for children's rooms and bedrooms.

1. Water-based paints are easily soluble in water, which makes them easy to use with your own hands. They lay down perfectly in an even dense layer and look great on matte surfaces.

Just keep in mind that on walls previously opened with varnish or adhesive paint, the water-based emulsion will not hold.

Application features

Wall painting is as follows:

1. First, the joints with the floor and ceiling are glued with masking tape to protect them from contamination.

1. This is followed by the process of cleaning from the remnants of the previous coating, sealing cracks and coating the wall with a primer.
2. If necessary, you will need to walk in some places with sandpaper for the surface.

1. Next, you should dilute the paint to the desired consistency and proceed directly to the application.

You can use the brush in any direction: from top to bottom, from left to right or crosswise. The main thing is not to combine these methods with each other.

Idea 3. Plaster

For many, plastering may be associated with preliminary leveling of the wall before major repairs. Only now, decorative plaster breaks into the top of the list called "modern materials for wall decoration in an apartment" and is beginning to be in increasing demand.

Depending on the appearance and characteristics, plaster is divided into:

• mineral;
• acrylic;
• silicate.

Why is decorative plaster so good? At least in that it allows you to create a beautiful imitation of almost any material on the walls. Even a couple of simple strokes with a spatula can advantageously update the interior of the room.

Decorative trim has at least several advantages:

1. The ability to create an imitation of a more expensive material (granite, textured wallpaper, metal).

1. A wide range of textures and colors.

1. Possibility to exercise wet cleaning coating after application.
2. The ability to hide all sorts of bumps and flaws on the walls.
3. No need to level the walls to perfect condition before decorating.

1. Long service life. With proper care, plaster can last from 35 to 60 years (impressive numbers, right?)

1. Such finishing methods will ideally fit into almost any interior.

But, as you know, in a barrel of honey you can not do without a fly in the ointment. Despite all the advantages of plaster, it also has its drawbacks. Among them stand out:

• The price of plaster most often exceeds the average cost of wallpaper at least one and a half times .
• Improper application of the material significantly reduces its service life. Therefore, in the absence of certain skills and experience, it is worth paying extra for the work of specialists.
• The plaster is not so easy to remove if necessary.

Idea 4. Plastic panels

Decorative wall decoration is a real testing ground for all kinds of experiments with colors and textures. So why not think about a rather unusual, but no less bright version of the lining? I can refer decorative plastic panels to it, which every year more and more often appear in modern interiors.

• When installing panels, it becomes possible to insulate the walls, which is definitely important in the cold season.
• With the presence of plastic panels, you will no longer need to think about how to finish the corners in the bathroom, because the material perfectly tolerates moisture and prevents the appearance of fungus.
• On sale you can find panels with a variety of parameters, texture and appearance.

• This finish is very easy to install and does not require special skills.
• Installation of panels does not require preliminary cleaning and alignment of the walls.
• The material creates good sound insulation due to the small distance between the panel and the wall itself.

• The cost of panels is suitable even for the most modest budget.
• Plastic panels look very similar to standard plywood sheets. Moreover, if there is a flat wall, they can be fixed simply with ordinary liquid nails.

Among the main disadvantages of such coverage, three important factors can be distinguished:

1. The panels are not made from natural materials, and accordingly, in small doses, they can release toxic substances.
2. Such a coating is difficult to attribute to durable, since it does not tolerate mechanical stress quite well.

1. For lovers of original solutions, special 3D panels were created. According to their characteristics, they are similar to ordinary ones, but they win against their background due to their unusual convex shape.

Despite the visual appeal of 3D panels, I would not recommend covering all the walls of the room with them. But to make one of them accent is a very sensible decision.

Idea 5. Drywall

Finishing materials for cladding uneven walls in fact cannot boast of a wide range. Not every coating will look perfect with a "bumpy" base. But this nuance does not apply to drywall.

Among its distinguishing features are:

• In any condition of the walls, in the end you will get a perfectly smooth coating. Even if you decide to change the interior, you will have at least 4 smooth surfaces at hand.
• Drywall makes it possible to additionally insulate the room, while the thickness of the insulation will depend solely on your capabilities and desires. According to the same scheme, you can install waterproofing, thereby solving problems with sound insulation.

• The process of installing sheets is not so complicated, and it is quite possible to do it yourself.

Agree, the benefits are quite significant. But I can’t just praise, it’s time to move on to tangible shortcomings:

• Such a design would be inappropriate in a room with high humidity.
• If you install drywall sheets relatively far from the wall, you won't be able to place heavy objects on them.

Alternative Solutions

Above, I have described far from all the options for finishing. The list includes only the most popular and popular. But my article would be incomplete without mentioning, albeit not so common, but no less spectacular ways of decorating walls.

Tiled outrage

Until recently, I (I think, like many of you) considered tiles to be a material, the lot of which is the bathroom and kitchen. Latest fashion trends they point to the opposite. Tiles, with proper handling, can be successfully applied in the interior of the hallway, or what the hell is not joking - the living room.

Why is it worth at least thinking about using tiles outside the kitchen? There are several reasons:

• The material is very durable and easy to clean.
• Tiles are characterized by fairly good sound insulation, which will come in handy with thin Khrushchev walls.
• This material is refractory, so in terms of fire safety it has practically no equal.
• The range of colors allows you to decorate any decor.

Everything is clear with the pros, are there any disadvantages to this coverage? But, alas, there are drawbacks. Among them:

• the complete inability to lay tiles with high quality without the help of professionals;
• ceramics can hardly be called one of the most budget options, but it's hard to deny that quality tile looks luxurious and fully deserves its hefty price tag.

By the way, here's some more useful information which may come in handy during the repair process. Ceramic tiles are divided into 5 types depending on the scope of its application:

1. Tiles exclusively for wall decoration.
2. Material for floor covering(excluding walking on it in street shoes).

1. For office and residential premises, in which there is not particularly a large crowd of people.
2. Tiles for use in high traffic areas.
3. Versatile material suitable for laying anywhere.

Why not stone?

Decorative stone, despite all its showiness and beauty, is not included in the TOP-3 of the most popular materials. The point is its high cost, which is not available to everyone. But besides this, decorative stone (or brick) has a lot of advantages, which I have no right not to mention.

• This material is very durable, its service life is approximately 50 years..
• Not having special skills, but having studied good instruction, even a simple layman will cope with the installation of the coating.
• All kinds of additives, which are now part of the decorative stone, allow you to create a coating with all kinds of textures.
• Such material is completely environmentally friendly.
• The stone brings originality and unusual notes to the interior.

Of course, artificial brick or stone cannot avoid comparison with its natural counterpart. Against this background, it has only three drawbacks:

1. Its shelf life is still less than natural analogues.
2. He is inferior to them in strength.
3. In large quantities, decorative stone cannot be used, as it makes the interior heavier.

What is linkrust?

I confess that I learned about such a magical material with a strange name relatively recently. For the unenlightened like me, I will explain: linkrust is a material in the manufacturing process of which a thin layer of gel based on linseed oil or alkyd resin with a filler (cork or wood flour) is applied to a dense paper or fabric base.

One of the main features of the coating is that it mixes equally well with both water-based and oil paints.

If at first linkrust was positioned as a more affordable alternative to expensive stucco, now it is used to implement the most unusual and original ideas.

What gives us the use of material?

• Unusual and original appearance walls.
• Environmental friendliness, which is based on the use of natural resins and additives.
• Plasticity, which allows the linkrust to successfully adapt even to uneven surfaces.
• Resistance to high temperatures.
• High strength index.
• Durability.

And by tradition, after describing the advantages, I will point out the obvious disadvantages, which, of course, are:

• Installation of linkrust can hardly be called simple, and it requires special skill.
• Low temperatures are detrimental to such material.
• After the installation of the coating, it becomes necessary to constantly maintain its original appearance. Accordingly, periodically you will have to finish it with paint or varnish.

Finally

I can't tell you the only right way to cover the walls in your apartment, it's simply impossible. But I can (and tried to) be objective about the options available, you just need to choose the one that suits you best. If you are still in doubt, then perhaps the video in this article will make your choice easier.

In case you still have not decided or you have any questions, write to me in the comments. I will be happy to answer everyone and try my best to facilitate the process of your repair.

Any decoration is the final and most enjoyable stage of any repair. If we talk about the decor of the walls in the rooms of the dwelling, then this process favorably affects not only the image of the interior, but also the creative abilities of the owners. It is easiest to make your design dreams come true with the help of decorative elements. Even a small change in the design of the walls of the room leads to a colossal change in the image of the interior. But for this often very little is needed. If you have some skills in the field of handemade, free time and a great desire to transform the design of a particular room in your apartment, then this collection of original, practical, creative and simple ideas is for you.

If your goal is a unique design

Since ancient times, people have been decorating the walls of their homes. If you can call the walls of the cave in which the first rock paintings were found. Nowadays, it is not necessary to have high artistic qualities, needlework skills in order to decorate your home in an original, stylish and aesthetic way. At our service are not only various materials and devices that simplify the manufacture of decorative elements, but also the experience of generations, accumulated over many years of the very concept of decorating your home.

Of course, any handemade increases the level of uniqueness of the interior. This is the easiest way to create not only creative, but unique design one room or another. But wall decor can perform not only the functions of decorating the interior. By using various color and texture solutions for decorating walls, you can hide any flaws in the finish and even design features, you can divert attention from the unsuccessful design of the functional area and highlight the main segment of the room.

With the help of wall decor, it is easy to postpone repairs - cosmetic or global. Not to mention that refreshing the atmosphere of the room, giving it a new touch of character, creating a color or texture accent - all this is easy to do with the help of wall decor, which will not require you to spend a lot of money. And if you do any decorative works together with household members, then in addition to a beautiful interior, you can get an excellent opportunity for rapprochement, spending time together between parents and children.

Paintings, posters and more

One of the oldest and yet effective ways wall decoration - the use of paintings, various panels, framed posters and more. Modern designers offer to try their hand at decorating their own homes, even for those who are far from fine or decorative arts. Use ready-made frames for paintings or photos that are sold in a store (or make your own version if you have carpentry skills) in combination with improvised means - twigs, twigs, paper or material blanks. The easiest way to give the composition the desired color scheme is with the help of acrylic paints.

Cutlery and various kitchen accessories that are no longer used in workflows can be used to create original compositions. You can decorate the kitchen, dining room, veranda with transformed household items. country house and even a living room decorated in country style or shabby chic.

Favorite aphorism, your family slogan or just a beautiful saying that helps to motivate, tune in to actions and accomplishments, or vice versa - relaxing and calming can become an interior decoration. To do this, it is enough to place the printed slogan in a beautiful or original frame that harmoniously fits into the interior.

The compositions look very impressive, wall panels, made up of decorative elements of the same shape and having the same style of execution, different in color or the presence (absence) of a print. Such panels can be made of various materials - from plain paper to velvet types of fabrics.

And what about ready-made plaster decorative elements imitating stucco molding that you use not on the ceiling for its intended purpose, but on the walls? Coloring several elements in different shades of the same color will create a harmonious, but at the same time original composition. Another way to use improvised means is to compose compositions from what is literally lying under your feet - twigs, snags, cuts of stumps of the original form, cones and other gifts of nature.

Even the simplest garlands made of paper, fabric or other improvised materials can become an original interior decoration. In the bedroom, the wall behind the head of the bed is most often decorated, and in the living room - above the sofa or a pair of armchairs, creating a soft seating area.

If you have artistic ability, it would be a crime not to take advantage of this wonderful gift. A unique design that does not require large financial investments (but, of course, requires a lot of time) is provided to you. Even drawings made using stencils can become a highlight of the interior, distinguishing it from many similar design projects.

Wall decor can be incredibly practical. For example, an ordinary frame with a mesh stretched over it can make an excellent storage system for jewelry. Earrings and brooches are very convenient to place on such a wall storage. For beads, necklaces, chains and bracelets, you can use straps with hooks attached to them.

A similar idea can be used to make a key holder. All your keys will always be in their place, thanks to such a simple device.

Wall coverings are divided into several types:

• Decorative paints
• Decorative plaster
• Wall cladding with wood
• Venetian plaster
• Ceramic tile

And the wood paneling of the walls looks very nice and is used mainly in country houses and is widely used in ethno-style interiors. In the countries of northern Europe and Scandinavia, you can often find wood as a material for the interior decoration of a house. In this case, the tree is covered with a very thin layer of paint. For example, to give a silvery tint, the walls are covered with aluminum-colored paint.

In the decoration of fireplaces, when facing fragments of the walls of kitchens and hallways in a retro style, as well as as a decor in a minimalist style, “raw” materials are often used: stone and brick. Marble cladding is mainly used in the interior of bathrooms.

The most relatively inexpensive type of wall decoration is plaster. With its help, the surface of the walls can be made smooth or embossed, matte, multi-color, textured, etc. To obtain a relief pattern, various stamps are used, which are applied to a still unhardened plastered surface.

To obtain a mosaic surface, small pieces of fragments of glass, stone, shells, and bricks are pressed into soft plaster. To give the interior originality, you can use the “sgraffito” technique, which means scratched and consists in the fact that a thin layer is scraped off the walls with colored plaster. The drawing will be more voluminous if you apply several layers of multi-colored plaster, a bit reminiscent of frescoes.

Idea one - unusual wallpaper

Do you think that wallpaper is an outdated option that can surprise you with nothing? Not true! The possibilities of this finishing material are inexhaustible, and the collections of wallpapers with unusual patterns and textures are updated every season. In addition, they do not have to be paper at all - the variety of modern materials is simply amazing.

We list only a few options for decorating walls. various types wallpapers, choosing the most versatile, practical and at the same time original.

So, the main modern trends designers consider:

1. A combination of wallpapers that are radically different in color and ornament. This combination allows you to create unusual decorative effects, which previously could be obtained exclusively with the help of painting.
2. A very large drawing, which becomes the highlight of the interior and immediately attracts the attention of guests.
3. Alternating on one wall strips of wallpaper similar to color scheme or texture, but at the same time differing in pattern. Many modern manufacturers, for example, the Holden Decor studio, offer ready-made solutions for the room - two or three types of wallpaper from one collection.
4. Textured wallpaper for painting, with a pronounced pattern, which after applying the paint will look especially original. By the way, fiberglass wallpaper for painting is becoming more and more popular, reliable, beautiful and able to perfectly “survive” seven or eight repaints. And do not forget that too thick a layer of paint will simply hide the texture of the wallpaper underneath.
5. Perfect option to create a Japanese interior - bamboo wallpaper which will immediately give the room the desired flavor.
6. Textile wallpaper today is used almost exclusively in a classic interior or English style. Especially relevant designers consider the combination textile wallpaper with boiserie wall panels. However, we will talk about decorative panels in the corresponding section.

Even ordinary paper wallpapers with such a large image are already able to set the tone for the entire interior. And if the wallpaper is also made of natural bamboo, they will look not only beautiful, but also expensive

In this cozy bedroom wallpaper with large pattern used only for finishing one wall. They are very harmoniously combined with textiles and other decorative elements.

The second idea is a mosaic

You think that the mosaic is intended only for wall cladding in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Not at all - this material allows you to create amazingly beautiful panels that look great in the living room and in the bedroom.

In addition, today the mosaic is made not only from the usual ceramic tiles, but also from leather, metal, wood, mother-of-pearl and even fur. In any case, such compositions will look unusual and stylish, so just choose the most attractive option - your walls will only benefit from such decoration.

The most relevant designers consider plot mosaic panels, images of antique statues, which is especially important for a classic interior, portraits and landscapes. You can also highlight a separate element of wall decor, such as a mirror, with the help of a mosaic. In such a frame, both the picture and the arch will look especially interesting.

Mosaic made of wood, of course, does not look as bright as that created from ceramics, but in general it is very attractive.

The third idea is a fresco

A traditional fresco is hand-painted with water-based paints on wet plaster, that is, like all manual work, it is quite an expensive pleasure. Fortunately for fans of such bright design techniques, today there are more technologically advanced and less expensive options, for example, a fresco painted in advance on canvas, an image on a self-adhesive basis, which is obtained by printing on quartz sand on a thin layer of canvas, as well as frescoes on a rigid basis - that is, finished paintings applied in the traditional way - on a layer of raw plaster, but not on the wall of the house, but also in a design studio on a polyurethane base.

Of the unusual design techniques, one can note the application of a large image on the entire wall, including doorway to create a complete picture.

Frescoes with images of famous paintings are always relevant. Modern manufacturers offer ready-made images on a rigid polyurethane base, which are glued to the wall using a special compound. Such a fresco can have a maximum size of 3.2x1.6 m. If the base is placed in a frame, then the fresco turns into a moving picture

The fourth idea is a brick

About whether brickwork itself decorative element, of course, can be argued. However, in a loft-style interior or in a house whose owners would like to create a deliberately rough or rustic design, brick is indispensable.

Designers advise not to hide the brickwork in old mansions - a hundred years after the construction of the house, the brick acquires a certain touch of time, looks especially noble and serves as a clear demonstration of the rich history of the building.

Today decorative brick often used to highlight doorways, parapets and niches of various sizes.

To prolong the life of brickwork, such walls are coated for reliability with a colorless matte varnish that protects the brick from dust. You can paint such a wall with ordinary water-based paint, choosing a color in accordance with the main style of the interior.

Brickwork can become a highlight of the room design, and in a loft-style apartment it will become the main design direction. In this kitchen, it was the brickwork that helped soften the too laconic and technological interior.

Fifth idea - photo printing

Modern technologies allow you to create images of amazing clarity and expressiveness, drawing a picture on any surface and materials. A bright picture, for example, a city panorama or a mountain landscape, can literally push the walls of the house apart, visually expand the space.

However, such bright pictures can simply get boring, so designers are advised to choose walls that are not constantly in sight for the location of the image. Traditionally, photo printing is placed above the head of the bed, in a cramped corridor, behind the sofa in the living room.

Photo printing is especially attractive because you can use personal photos to create a picture on the wall, make a beautiful collage that will remind you of a wonderful vacation, and so on.

The city panorama fits perfectly into this otherwise very calm, classic bedroom interior. And the place is chosen perfectly - above the head of the bed, so the owners will not be too annoying

Idea six - decorative panels

The ideal option to quickly carry out repairs and in just one or two days completely transform the room, and without dusty, wet and dirty processes, is to use ready-made decorative panels.

Plastic panels, of course, are universal, they are not afraid of water, they can imitate the texture of wood and other materials, they are easy to install, but they still look cheap - plastic remains plastic, no matter how beautifully it is painted or decorated with photo printing.

But wooden panels, for example, the famous boiserie, always look very respectable, solid, expensive and can turn the most ordinary living room into an aristocratic salon. Boiserie is made today not only from natural solid wood, but also from veneered MDF or chipboard, which made it possible to significantly reduce the cost of their production.

Usually decorative boiserie panels are not painted, since there is no need to hide the beauty of wood or veneer, but if the main style of the interior of the room requires it, why not. These white decorative panels not only hid heating radiators, but also became a very beautiful design element.

Natural boiserie panels look great in an English interior

The seventh idea is such a different porcelain tile

Porcelain stoneware, unlike ordinary ceramic tiles, is made at very high pressure - at least 50 MPa - and fired at a temperature of at least 1.2-1.3 thousand degrees. As a result of such production, a non-porous, almost moisture-proof material is obtained, wear-resistant, not afraid of either frost or heat.

At the same time, porcelain stoneware has a number of properties that allow it to be used not only for wall decoration in the bathroom, kitchen or on the outer facade of the building, but also in a chic living room, bedroom or office.

So, thanks to its textured surface and modern methods drawing a picture, porcelain stoneware perfectly imitates leather, wood, natural stone.

Today, going to a building materials store, you can choose porcelain stoneware, which in terms of its external parameters will not be inferior to natural stone or wood, and in terms of functional properties even surpass them

Eighth idea - eco-coatings

Today, the desire to make your home environmentally friendly covers an increasing number of homeowners. Is it possible to achieve such an effect without the use of natural coatings?

1. Sisal.
2. Cane.
3. Rattan.
4. Jute fiber.
5. Arrowroot.
6. Bamboo slats.
7. Cork veneer, zebrano, apricot, sandalwood, cherry, etc.

The basis for such natural coatings is thick paper, which has a stronger and more reliable texture than the usual wallpaper base. Non-woven fabric, well known from ordinary wallpaper, is also used.

Interest in such natural coatings is also fueled by the fashion for Asian ethnic motifs in the interior. Such wall decoration is used not only in the Japanese interior, but also in the fusion style, for decorating not the entire wall, but its individual sections - niches, arches, stripes above the sofa and other elements.

The choice of natural wall coverings today is quite large, but, unfortunately, usually this option for wall decoration is more expensive than using the usual wallpaper or painting.

Idea nine - decorative plaster

Decorative plaster can be called both traditional and innovative, an up-to-date option for wall decoration. This method has been used for many years, but has not lost its appeal.

Decorative plaster is a fairly thick coating layer, which consists of fillers no larger than 10 millimeters in size:

1. Stone chips made of marble, granite, quartz or dolomite.
2. synthetic granules.
3. Nylon or cellulose fibers.

Accordingly, depending on the filler used, decorative plaster also acquires external parameters, so this criterion must be taken into account when choosing a wall covering.

However, do not forget that the original relief and texture of decorative plaster also depend on the tools used and the application technique. In connection with this feature, the choice of builders who will apply it should be approached with particular care.

Decorative plaster is a frequent guest in a classic interior, Art Deco style and is able to emphasize the luxury and chic of an elite renovation.

The current trends in the use of decorative plaster, designers consider surfaces that imitate aged stone, soft and warm colors such as golden honey onyx, as well as the use of a moisture-resistant coating in the bathroom, created on the basis of quartz sand and lime.

Moisture resistant plaster can also be used in bathrooms

Tenth idea - an original combination of painted walls

Wall painting rightly enjoys great popularity - it is simple, convenient and allows you to change the style of the room quite often. But just painting all the walls of the house without exception in the same neutral shade is no longer fashionable. Designers prefer to experiment with shades, creating very original, but harmonious, integral pictures of the interior.

Among the most interesting options are highlighting one wall with a brighter color, stenciling, applying any images. For example, a clock face painted on the kitchen wall, two similar shades of paint separated by a wavy strip, and so on, will look very unusual and attractive.

Of course, there is nothing new in using wallpaper or paint for wall decoration. But among the collections of paint or mixtures for decorative plaster themselves, there are a huge number of options that allow you to experiment with texture and colors.

Listen to the advice of professionals, choose a wall covering that will not only be functional, but also beautiful in itself - this will help create the perfect backdrop for brighter decor elements or emphasize the luxury and elegance of the interior.
