Gray wallpapers in the interior

Paper wallpaper is the cheapest, short-lived, they are afraid of moisture, burn out in the sun, are difficult to stick because they soak and shrink. Flizelins have a higher density. As a matter of fact it is the same paper, but with fabric fibers. They look more effective, do not sit down after drying, do not swell, some models can be painted.

Vinyl coatings are of several types: volumetric (foamed); washable (kitchen); flat (silkscreen). Textile wallpaper belong to the class of luxury, are exquisite decoration of the walls. The face is the fabric. Coating requires careful care.

Natural materials can not withstand every interior: the bare brick of a spacious loft, the untreated wood of a country house or a heavy stone like open planning. But for the residents of top-end apartments designers can offer a way out - wallpaper that imitates natural material.

Wooden decor elements in the living room

Wall-papers simulating natural materials will help create the necessary impression, but they need addition, furniture, accessories, which will make them even more realistic.
