To date, the wallpaper is the most popular option for decorating walls in apartments. Incredible variety of colors, textures and drawings, various types of wallpaper made of natural and synthetic materials, design collections — all this makes it possible to choose wallpaper for any interior and for every taste. The price of the wallpaper is also different — from the lowest to one that is quite comparable with the cost of expensive types of wall decoration — elite decorative plasters or, for example, artificial stone.
What are the wallpaper? And how to choose wallpaper for your own apartment? Let’s try to figure it out.
First of all, we dwell on the classification of wallpaper depending on what material they are made. One of the most popular options is paper wallpapers. As a rule, such wallpaper costs inexpensively, and glue on the walls of them relatively simply. But paper wallpapers are not very durable. Of course, manufacturers of paper wallpaper try to strengthen their strength by manufacturing two- and three-layer paper wallpaper, but if you do not plan to make repairs in the apartment in 5-7 years, it is better to look at other options.
Non -woven wallpaper with cellulose and textile fibers is stronger and more practical than paper wallpaper. They can be repeatedly painted with various types of interior colors, and the process of stickers on the wall of non -woven wallpaper will also not cause difficulties. The only peculiarity is that the wallpaper glue should be applied directly to the wall. At the same time, non -woven wallpaper is afraid of water, they can not be washed and quite simple to damage them mechanically.
The first place in strength and durability is occupied by vinyl wallpaper. The basis of them is paper, but the upper layer of vinyl creates a surface resistant to fading, mechanical damage and moisture. Vinyl wallpaper can be washed without afraid to damage the surface. But vinyl wallpaper cost more than paper and non -woven.
Other non -traditional types of wallpaper can be found on sale — liquid wallpaper, which before applying to the wall must be diluted with water; fiberglass wallpaper, most resistant to damage; Wallpapers with a surface made of natural materials — leaves and crust of trees, bamboo, mats, etc. D.
Having decided on the material from which the wallpaper is made, it is necessary to make a choice from many colors, drawings and textures. Of course, the decisive role in this case is played by the taste preferences of the owner of the apartment, but there are general recommendations for the choice of wallpaper that will help to visually make your apartment more and lighter, and the ceiling is higher, emphasize individual zones or hide the wall defects.
