Tips for beginners
If you decide to plaster the walls with textured mixtures, I suggest to listen to the advice of professionals:
- In bark beetle plaster, use special granules in the work. Move them in the desired direction with spatulas.
- To create bas-reliefs, stucco, volumetric decorative figures use plaster compositions, provided that you can do it. Otherwise, you can buy ready-made. They are also full in hardware stores.
- If up to this point you have not had experience and have never worked with decorative plaster, try your strength and capabilities on an inconspicuous section of the wall. balcony, loggia or toilet.
Consider the features of your walls. Textured plaster fits well and without problems on the surface of brick or concrete without prior preparation.
- Take into account the climatic conditions of the room. For example, in the living room, corridor or bedroom you can buy any kind of coverage. And in the bathroom or kitchen, where climatic indicators are unstable, pay attention to silicate mixtures. They, by the way, can be periodically updated and repainted.
- When choosing a color in the bedroom, consider the place. If it is located on the north side, use coffee shades beige, orange, burgundy or pink. If on the sun, then it is preferable to use a cold range: green, grayblue

The preparation of the wall surface is the same for both wallpaper and plastering. True for the second option, a special alignment of the walls is not required.
