Animal world

Animal wall mural is one of the most striking design accents that can be realized. Each beast causes its own associations to the person looking at him, therefore one cannot do without a psychological factor. Few people decide to stick a picture of an animal that he does not like on the wall.

Revitalize our walls with animals

Often there are African-style cuisine that does not become less popular over time. Often it is used in those that are combined with the living room. For such rooms, safari-style wallpapers will be a good option: images of desert inhabitants, wild predators.

Art wallpaper is not suitable for everyone

3D wallpaper

Why today, many apartments continue to look the same, like “stamped on the model,” as in Soviet times? Some do not like to experiment, choosing monotonous models of wallpaper offered on the market. Others simply do not know about the existence of innovative printing techniques.

Backlit

Creating a backlight is a great way to add raisins to photo wallpapers. LED lamps are most commonly used, which are attached to the surface of either the pattern itself or its part.

The backlight is the perfect complement to the interior.

The starry sky, pictures from space, the night megalopolis can all be revived on the kitchen wall, thanks to the use of either LED or fluorescent lighting.

It’s quite possible to do it yourself; many cope with sticking, doing it for the first time. But to get a quality result, you must adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer.

It is advisable to entrust the sticking to the professionals.

First you need to carefully prepare the walls for the application of the material. Any residue of glue, previous wallpaper, mud stains can be an obstacle for applying a perfectly smooth roll. If for ordinary wallpaper it does not create a big problem, then a small defect in the photo wallpaper will distort the picture, so that the effect can be completely lost.

First, be sure to view the canvas at the time of error

The process of gluing itself is standard: first, the glue is kneaded, it is applied to the wall and wallpaper using a roller, then the canvas is applied to the wall, right next to the previous one. The edges must be smoothed immediately so that lumps and creases do not form. For this, a plastic spatula is used.
