painting walls
Decorative painting walls competes wallpaper, because it allows you to participate in the creation of the background fabric, rather than a ready-made paste. In addition, this method of decoration has several advantages:
- The paint will last longer than wallpaper.
- The surface will whole without seams and joints, the formation of which can not be avoided by using other materials.
- The paint will be on any basis.
- To re-repair is not required to carry out complex manipulation of the old coat of paint and wallpaper You have to scrape away, moisten with water and scrape away the most stubborn remnants again, tightly clasped glue.
- If you use special types of water-resistant paints, such a dressing can be carried out in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

Before painting the wall just prepared. With her clean off the remains of the previous coatings and primers. Bumps and recesses shpatljujut, and after drying fine tuning. Then, an additional primer layer is applied only after the complete drying start to paint. When choosing colors guided by its composition and characteristics, which allow to apply it in different spaces. Product range is classified into:
acrylic | They are environmentally friendly, lie on any surface, after drying to form a solid film which withstands strong temperature fluctuations. |
water based paints | They are referred to as "veterans" construction and repair market. Paints differ cheap, fast drying, absorb moisture, but require special temperature regime in the process of drying and eventually rinsed off with water. |
latex | This modern kind of paint is diluted even plain water. They are suitable for rooms with high humidity, it is absolutely resistant to moisture, are odorless and dries quickly. Of the minuses only emit relatively high cost. |
Paints, oil-based and alkyd | They fit well on the surface, but dry for a long time, while exuding a sharp, unpleasant smell. Last a long time, the water is not washed off, but for the same reason, are expensive. |

There are several ways of applying paint. Conventional paint rollers and brushes it will lay flat, dense layer on plasterboard, plaster or concrete. On the surface of the applied design or pattern using a stencil, but this is the easiest option. Developed a mass of original methods, which require only the means at hand. To get the effect of "bruising" paintings, simply wrap a piece of used cloth roll, which is tied to a foam rubber coarse thread. The more folds formed therein, the original and interesting pattern will be released. More refined figure out, if you decide to create the illusion of Venetian plaster. This type of finish previously used exclusively for the facade, but over time it fit into the design of the interior walls. For this method will have to make a number of actions:
- Take a jar of latex paint and pour its contents into a larger container.
- Then on one half wake pigment that darkens the original color.
- Stir it gently so as not to touch the second part of the paint.
- Simple spatula it is applied to the surface like a plaster. In this dark and light tones alternate spots to get beautiful pattern of two colors, randomly into each other.

If you find it difficult to work with a capacity of under two different color, then pour the paint in two different banks and are already working with them. This is only the most simple ways of existing. By using small tweaks and patience simple wall transform and decorate unrecognizable from the outside the house and inside.
With the help of a new acrylic surface can be artificially aged (stippling) that is perfect for rooms in retro style or Provence. In the office create a "business-like" effect of expensive leather, for which you will need only a makeshift brush suede. With sponzhik, fabric pieces, packages, sponges and sponges designers form not only the texture, but also a relief.

Decorative plaster for interior
The main purpose of the plaster - alignment of the walls, smoothing the rough edges and masking imperfections. It was not until as long as the designers did not pay close attention to the finishing material, which, as it turns out, may play a more important role in interior design. First decorative plaster began to be used only for the outside wall cladding, while the experience is not transferred to the execution of the interior of apartments and houses. The decoration of the premises ceased to be bombastic and pompous, opting for a more rough and practical materials. At the heart of the plaster is based on different dispersion characteristics that cause it. Depending on the type of binding ingredients plaster is divided into:
- acrylic;
- Silicon;
- silicate;
- Mineral.

The base includes mineral lime and cement. It boasts a long service life and relative cheapness. Before this work particularly plaster diluted with water. Acrylic blend tinting, resistant to mechanical damage. Among the shortcomings noted its poor water vapor permeability, so the plaster is recommended to use only within the home for walls and ceilings. The silicone material has a high cost, which is due to the excellent quality: a vapor-permeable material, resistant to temperature jumps are not washed off with water and will last more than one year. Silicone plaster is used for tiling and outside, and inside the house. But the silicate is made on the basis of potash glass, which is toxic, so this option is best left for facade work. Also mixtures of different size granules of which will depend on the texture and topography of the treated surface. Before the finishing base is treated with primer, and in areas with high humidity and even anti-fungal solutions. It should be remembered that in the preliminary step it is impossible to use mixtures based adhesives, oil, or plaster, which will only prevent absorption of coloring granules plaster or a wall.
If you buy ready-made plaster is not possible, it can be prepared at home by the original "recipe" of putty. Pay attention to the last, of some species will mix that will stain the wall section only after the application of several layers.





Wallpapers and wallpapers
Wallpaper market offers a wide range of goods. Among the most popular are:
- Fleece;
- paper;
- acrylic;
- liquid;
- textile;
- metal;
- vinyl;
- Fiberglass.

Paper and non-woven among the most simple and cheap. The first general use for centuries, and the latter are different only the addition of tissue fibers. Both types are used as a base for paint, they are environmentally friendly, have a wide range of colors, but are short-lived (not even wash). The surface of wallpaper is usually smooth but has variations with embossed pattern. Acrylic and vinyl wallcoverings are durable, not afraid of moisture and UV light. Paper or non-woven backing coated with a special "foam" that forms a durable top layer. Of the minuses only say breathability, respectively, such material is not necessary to glue the wall in the nursery. Textile wall made of a paper substrate and a second layer of natural tissue. The material looks very elegant, but it is expensive, burns, easily damaged by moisture and quickly collects dust (you can even vacuum). The wallpaper upper metal layer is made of a thin aluminum foil. They look spectacular, do not fade and are not afraid of water, but for all these advantages will have to pay dearly. And finally the last word in the world of wallpaper - a liquid coating. It is sold in powder form and after application resembles a decorative plaster. In the composition of liquid wallpaper present cellulosic fibers and spangles which create rich, sleek appearance.

Fotoboi made of the same materials as conventional. They are the size of the panorama from floor to ceiling. Images can be very diverse: from the colorful landscapes with "juicy" colors to neutral abstract paintings with calm colors. Before pasting wallpapers, you must clearly define the area to finish to then your figure is not left in a corner or not skosobochilsya. Pictures acquired in specialty stores or made to order according to the selected pattern with the help of special printing materials.

In the children's room when choosing the type of wallpaper guided by their environmental friendliness, and the kitchen and bathroom I have to stop on the moisture-proof material, which is able to withstand the swings temperatures.

Gispokarton
Plasterboard is used mainly for the original wall relief. With this relatively inexpensive material can create a decorative poor, shelves, arches, the tiers and walls. It is also often used in rooms where you want to look nice and neat to hide communication. A top cover is decorated with wallpaper, paint, plaster, tiles, bricks or artificial tree. Oblitsevat room can be with their own hands without the help of professionals. Select the material will have several types:
- Normal;
- moisture-proof
- With increased refractoriness;
- Fireproof and waterproof.

For premises suitable conventional drywall. The bathroom use moisture-resistant, and kitchen can "splurge" on a refractory, to protect his family in case of force majeure with overheated stove.
The material is easy to bend. If you need to "skater" list, you can buy a special drywall for arches or gradually moistened with water plain. In this case, it is placed under the yoke in the form that you want to get a result. Enough 12 hours to sheet "grabbed" and retained bends.





Laminate
Decorating the walls with laminate, perhaps, the most recent and trivial design course. Many saw this material only on the floor, but not on the walls, and in fact this looks rich paneling and original. Laminate perfectly mimics the various surfaces and textures from natural wood and marble to drawing. The basis material is fiberboard, which easily bends, and the upper protection layer for durability of the coating. Laminate not choose the types and classes. Each of them has specific characteristics according to GOST, on the basis of which the material is only suitable for certain types of premises.

Clay tiles
Paving tile manufactured from clay with addition of fluxes, and dyes. In the production of its baked once. The material came to us from Western Europe, where they were stoning the house and laid the road. Tile is highly durable, easy to clean, the water passes, is not susceptible to temperature and UV. Among the shortcomings noted only a strong fragility of the material and a high price, especially when compared with the conventional ceramics. It is for this reason that in the design of its decoration of the house is rarely used. At times easier pokleit wallpaper or paint the walls, instead of messing around with a material that is easy to give a crack. But looks clinker tiles noble and elegant. It combines well with other materials and is ideal for the decoration of the kitchen aprons or portions of the walls in the bathroom.






Fake diamond
Artificial stone is actively used in the manufacture of sinks, countertops and window sills, but the designers took a step further and began to use this material in decorating the walls. Stone can be different textures and colors. It is divided into several types:
- Acrylic;
- Quartz;
- polyester;
- Cast marble.

Acrylic is the most common. He is a sample of the good value for money. The polyester main binder substance is ether resin, not acrylic as his close "relatives." It has a sharp, unpleasant odor that disappears with time. Polyester stone does not bend, so it can not be used to create curved elements. Quartz material is more fragile, so this area is quite sensitive to mechanical damage. Casting another stone also called liquid. Buying material is called, will cost a pretty penny, but it is ideal for creating complex compositions with smooth lines and curves. It is durable, durable and does not crumble.





A natural stone
Natural stone has a lot of varieties. Among the most often used in decorating the walls of note:
- Granite;
- Marble;
- Sandstone;
- Booth;
- slate;
- Zlatolit;
- Lemeza.

Used as rock dust, river pebbles and specially trimmed wedges. On the sandstone will be discussed below, because it is combined with an artificial base. The result of these experiments was the material of the "new generation". The most durable and popular are granite and marble, but such coverage is "fonit" and affect the health of the owners of the apartment. Before acquiring the stone reserves to finish, ask them mine. In some quarries of granite or marble more radioactive. It is their property depends on the mining field. The fortress of such material is unlikely to be able to compare different topcoat. He was not scared nothing: temperature, humidity, mechanical damage. To see this, it suffices to recall the marble and granite memorials, which for decades are in the open and retain their beauty. Natural stone make the baths, work surfaces, they spread the floor or walkway in the garden. This Mother's refractories and applies even in the lining of fireplaces.

flexible stone
Sandstone is used not only in the "natural" form. It represents the plastic sedimentary rock. Her "cut" into thin slices - layers, which are attached to fiberglass. Such a stone well-bends, and depending on the intricacies used to create designer wallpaper or tiles. The material is considered to be the most successful combination of natural and artificial. It is lightweight, environmentally friendly, fire retardant, moisture resistant and can withstand the most aggressive conditions. Flexible stone is universal, it can coat even the walls in the nursery and bathroom. According to the manufacturer the average service life of the material is about 30-35 years.

natural wood
Wood - a unique material that combines the beauty and excellent performance. The range is wide and rich wood. The most accessible and affordable recognize:
- pine;
- birch;
- Cedar;
- Spruce.

For more rare and expensive include:
- Oak:
- cherry;
- Ash;
- Karelian birch;
- Manchurian walnut;
- Crimean mahogany;
- Maple.

And of course the most "exclusive" view of the wood is considered to be ebony, more commonly known as "black." For the walls using wooden materials already prepared. The most popular include:
- battens;
- panel;
- Block house;
- Gusvarblok.

Molded is processed narrow boards. Block-house - this is the same material that has rounded ends, imitating Russian log cabin. Panels are created as solid wood and from its remains (with the help of the press and a special adhesive backing), which greatly reduces the cost. For gusvarblok called hidden wooden wallpaper, which differ filigree in the production and a high price. This is not a paper rolls, to which we are all accustomed to, but rather a thick wooden panels, fastened together through the slots. As a raw material for any of the above coating materials take coniferous, deciduous or rare trees.

Decorative painting
If you do not have artistic talent to paint the walls in the apartment will have to see a specialist. This thin, hard work, which depends on the complexity of the selected pattern. Room with painted walls acquire an impressive flavor. Furniture and furniture will have to meet him. For artistic painting walls using three types of colors:
- Acrylic;
- Tempera;
- Oil.

Acrylic is durable and is not afraid to moisture, temperature extremes. Tempera adjust the smallest details, as the paint falls more gracefully. For the embossed pattern, it is applied to a Venetian stucco. The paintings become three-dimensional and abstract with blurred features. Painted oil facilities in the Middle Ages. Now the composition of oil paints has changed, and it is unlikely your masterpiece will live as much as the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, but we do not pretend to compete with the great masters of painting of the past. Recently popular type of applying paint is considered airbrush. In the cartridge is compressed powder or liquid dye that is sprayed over the surface. However, such work requires special training: to adjust to the non-standard "writing" supplies is difficult. You can work out on any smooth surface, which is not a pity: the door is unnecessary cabinet, old mirror, built a wall to be demolished.





Bung
The plug is extracted from the outer portion of bark of some kinds of trees. Most often it is produced from the same balsa wood, which gave the name of the material. Due to the complex technology of processing the material has a rather high cost, durability and moisture resistance compensating coating. The plug is available in two forms:
- rolls;
- Sheets.

Depending on what area of the wall going to cover it, and the type of material selected. Cork is pleasant to the touch: it is both strong and pliable. By mechanical damage resistant material. With little impact, it just sag, and then returns to its previous state, so it is quite difficult to scratch the cork. Of the minuses only say "poor" color scheme, which is limited to all shades of brown.

decorative panels
For the installation of decorative wall panels require a special design: lath of metal or wood. Her "skewer" components. The panels are classified into three types:
- sheet;
- tile;
- Pinion.

The second is much less and are easier to lay out the original drawing. Usually use tiles of different sizes and colors within the same range. Pinion vaguely resemble battens: long, narrow plank. Sheet panels are used to cover large areas. As the material is plastic, glass, gipsovinil, wood and its derivatives (MDF, particleboard, fiberboard).





Wooden panels
The particle board manufactured from chips, which is subjected to hot pressing. Material less strong in comparison with the wood, and is susceptible to moisture, temperature jumps. It can not be used for the bathroom or kitchen, so you have to limit ourselves to the living room, hallway or bedroom. Fiberboard is made by the same technology, but instead of using vegetable chips and wood fibers are more resistant to the conditions of the kitchen, for example. However, this material should be protected from direct contact with the water surface, so the bath is still a taboo.

MDF is dry-pressed, as a result of which chips allocates lignin. It also forms a strong "film", which holds and raises performance. MDF is not afraid of no water, no UV or high temperatures. Also, the material is able to withstand heavy loads, so it is often used to create shelves. MDF panels are suitable for absolutely any room in the house or apartment. From the chips, resins and synthetic wax produced OSB boards. They have a rather unprepossessing exterior, which is compensated by a nice in all respects price and durability. The material in the interior film is mainly used for flooring, walls, but such a variant is also suitable.





plastic panels
PVC has long established itself as a durable synthetic material. Surprisingly, his formula was the result of chance. French scientist got it in the course of the experiment and are simply unable to describe his invention. PVC is manufactured from PVC and plasticizer. Last added to minimal concentrations. PVC is actively used to create windows, window sills, doors and other items essential for living quarters. Plastic Refractories, not afraid of water, temperature changes, it is easy to clean and difficult to scratch. PVC is relatively cheap and safe for health. Emission of toxic substances is accompanied by only its production.






conclusion
Repair is not always an excessive burden, from which it would be desirable to get rid of as soon as possible. This process can be pleasant and bring a lot of fun. Do not forget that the wall - a background of your apartment: bright, calling, or calm. Furnishing and "box" at home should be "tied" to the complex composition of the design project, which maintains internal harmony. That is why the walls are decorated in accordance with the rules of the common interior concept.
