The desire to decorate their homes did not give rest to the ancient people. Even living in a cave, they managed to put pictures on the walls. And about us and you can not speak. Fortunately, there are designers, artists, sculptors who can turn walls into works of art.

From ancient frescoes to modern ways of decorating walls, aesthetics have changed many times.
Now the main criterion is beauty and comfort. However, the simplicity of the formulation implies a very hard work.
In modern wall design, there are many techniques and trends. Forms have become more complex, work with the material, and we have become more demanding. If earlier, having started repairing, we invited plasterer, now we call designers and artists. Although there are methods to give free rein and their imagination. But first things first.
Wall design begins with preparation. I do not advise saving here, because it depends on what, in the end, you will succeed and how long it will last. There are three golden rules for preparing walls for further work:
- Align.
- Primed.
- Putty.
If you follow them and entrust the work to the master - you will be provided with an excellent result.
Wallpapers - modern classics of the genre
There are main types of decorative walls:
- Wallpaper, wallpapers.
- The panels.
- Ceramic tile.
- Drapery fabric.
- Decorative plaster and paint.
Consider in detail each item. Decorating walls with wallpaper. This option can vary from relatively cheap to very expensive. There is a choice for any wealth.
It all depends on the quality of the source material. Simple paper wallpapers are already a thing of the past. Dense, washable vinyl, non-woven with an interesting texture or silkscreen confidently push them out of the market. Modern wallpaper has a high wear resistance and the broadest palette of color and artistic performance.
In modern wall design wallpaper is most often used for zoning rooms and to create a warm, cozy atmosphere. Zoning corrects the space and, using wallpaper of different shades, you can select one zone and “hide” another.
The wall, free from furniture, is decorated with wallpaper with a bright print, and the rest of the walls are made of solid colors. This way of pasting can be used throughout the room or in a separate part of it.
If you want to somehow stylize the “main” wall - select photowall-paper with a picture corresponding to the general interior. Manufacturers offer a lot of options for photo wallpaper design.At home, you can be on the ocean, in the mountains or in the garden of paradise with exotic plants.
Wall panels. Stylish decision
Recently, panels have become very popular. This is due to several reasons:
- No need to suffer with the alignment of the walls. Panels make the surface perfect.
- Improve heat and sound insulation.
- Under them you can hide the communication wiring.
- Easy to install.
- Durable and durable.
If you like the idea with panels in the interior, then you can count on a wide variety of this type of decoration. Panels are made of plastic, plaster, natural wood. Even more textured surfaces that cover them. I will tell you about the main models.
Laminated panels - the most unpretentious of all. They are very aesthetic, their surface is treated in such a way that the dust simply does not linger on them, it is enough to wipe with a damp cloth. Another plus is easy and quick installation. Such panels will serve you for a very long time.
Fiberboard panels are inferior in their characteristics laminated, but there are also advantages. They are more affordable and have a large selection of textured finishes. Get off with veneer, textiles, leather. Due to the texture perfectly combined with wallpaper.
Chipboard panels have a large format and are rather heavy. For this reason, difficult to install. Most often they are used in the decoration of the walls in the hallway or hallway.
The panels of natural wood emphasize the nobility and elegance of the interior. Made of fine wood and can be decorated with gold leaf, mirror inserts or colored lacquer. Perfectly fit into a classic interior. Very presentable, but also very expensive.
I must say that all types of wall panels have one drawback. They do not tolerate moisture or high humidity.
Ceramic tile. Glossy Exquisite
It is unlikely that there is a finishing material more durable and wear-resistant than ceramic tiles. Ideal for walls in the bathroom, toilet and even the hallway.
Designers are constantly updating fashionable designs and offer such patterns and patterns on the tile that the repair began to border on art. There is no modern style of the interior, under which it would be impossible to choose the appropriate tile.
Recently, the decoupage of ceramic or tile has become very fashionable. Elegant idea for decorating the bathroom. Decoupage is the application or application to the tile of decorative elements made of fabric, paper, napkins. Looks stylish and allows you to make a design copyright.
Want to creative - stop your choice on the glass tile. Unusual, it fits perfectly into the futuristic interior of the bathroom. With this tile you can make an unusually beautiful partition. Such tiles can be transparent and translucent, and glossy, and matte, and color, and with a different texture.
Stone tile is another fashionable idea. She is wonderful to finish the columns, partitions, assemble with tiles of another texture. Create a stylish image in a modern style. A great advantage is absolute environmental friendliness.
Well, for dessert - 3D tiles. A masterpiece of tiled art. The unique, exclusive design is provided to you.A bright full-wall picture will create the feeling that this is not a tile in your bathroom, and your bathroom has moved into this picture.
Draped luxury
Draperies fabric known for a long time, but only the palace nobility could afford it. Now everything is more democratic. Drapery is used to design bedrooms and living rooms. Like any other finish, drapery fabric has advantages and disadvantages.
I would consider environmental friendliness, simple installation, good noise absorption and the ability to avoid time-consuming and expensive work to level the walls as big advantages. If the advantages of this decor are unambiguous, then the disadvantages are a big question.
Fabric is undoubtedly more expensive than wallpaper, but if you compare the complexity of installation - wallpaper will lose. The service life of drapery is less than that of wallpaper, but due to the tricks of installation (when the fabric can be removed, washed and hung back), it will serve no less.
Or, they say that the fabric attracts dust. But now fabrics for decorating walls are soaked with special solutions that make it resistant to dust and dirt.
In general, drapery can be done even with your own hands. If not to decorate the whole wall, then it is quite possible to make a beautiful draped insert framed in wallpaper. It looks luxurious and gives the room a warm, cozy atmosphere.

Unusual textured plasters can be used to decorate walls in any room: be it a bedroom, kitchen, living room or hallway. They can give any color shades and create a unique design of these sites.
For example, bark beetle plaster. Durable, it can be repainted. "Bark beetle" has a beautiful texture, but due to marble chips in the composition, a unique pattern in the form of small grooves is created. This plaster is good in any room. Moreover, it can make bright accents in the form of paintings in a frame or plaster panels.
"Venetian" plaster is an elite type of wall decoration. Imitating marble, fills the room with a sense of luxury and wealth. Can be matte and glossy. Gloss is beautiful in the living room, and a matte version is more suitable for the bedroom.
Like other types of plaster, "Venetian" is combined with other types of wall decor. It is important to maintain everything in the same style.
One of the most modern and advanced types of decorative plaster is “graphite”. Used in the design of walls and fireplaces. Simulates the laying of the walls and resembles a natural stone. It is very aesthetic and attractive for the most daring design decisions.
"Silk" plaster - the queen of the bedroom. It creates a unique atmosphere of softness and lightness. Mimics silk fabric. Often used by designers to create "airiness" of space.
