The decor in the living room - a photo of the ideal
Transfiguration of the interior of the living room made to start from the walls, because they will be the background of a refreshed atmosphere.
The right way to decorate them can dramatically transform the room, emphasizing the necessary accents and hiding flaws.
The decor of the modern living room allows you to move away from the traditions and give free rein to the imagination, using a variety of materials to decorate the walls: from traditional to the most shocking.
We will offer several popular options, and which one to choose is a matter of house owners taste.
Traditional wallpapering
This method is known to all, it is very simple, and therefore extremely common. Everyone at least once was present when pasting walls with wallpaper: he customized a drawing, smoothed air bubbles.
Skeptics point out the fragility of the coating: they say that in a couple of years they will lose their appearance.
But this idea can be called obsolete, because wallpaper "evolved" from paper to more durable for a long time - let's talk about them:
Vinyl. Unusually practical, subject to the rules of pasting will decorate the room for many years, without losing the pristine beauty.
They are much stronger than paper, although the price does not differ so much. The color palette and the richness of the patterns are limited only by the imagination of the manufacturers. Another handy plus is that vinyl wallpapers can be washed with liquid products;
Flizelinovye. This type of decor has also long and firmly gained its place in the market. All non-woven wallpapers are good for their longevity, the variety suitable for coloring has earned the greatest love of the people.
If the color of such a coating is suddenly bored, you can simply repaint it, and the non-woven fabric will have enough strength for five such design moves;
Glass. Of course, they have little in common with the usual all fragile fragile material. These wallpapers are made of fiberglass, the threads of which are extremely elastic.
This quality greatly facilitates the process of pasting and allows, if desired, to paint the wallpaper in a different color;
Fabric The variety is not new: once upon a time they disappeared from the shelves, giving way to a more economical paper one.
Today, fabric wallpaper is gaining popularity again. They look very original and cozy, as seen in the next photo of the living room decor.
But deciding to stick such wallpapers, it is important to remember that the fabric absorbs odors and gets dirty quickly, so you will have to forget about the habit of smoking in the living room;
Beaded. The variant is interesting and unusual, the room just just pasted over with wallpaper from beads looks elegant.
However, quite a bit of time will pass and the beads will begin to crumble, because they are simply glued to a non-woven or paper base, and not woven.
Among the variety of types of wallpaper, there will definitely be those that will please - the modern market offers a sea of colors and materials for any, even the most pretentious taste.
Wall painting
The method of decorating the walls in the living room with paint is also quite in demand, because economical and practical.
But there is one caveat: painting walls looks good only on perfectly smooth walls, not having a large number of projections.
Otherwise, after decorating all the irregularities will become even more striking. Therefore, choosing this method will have to thoroughly prepare all the vertical surfaces of the living room.
When the walls are in perfect condition, it's time to think about choosing paint. Each variety has its own advantages, which are worth looking at:
- Water-based paints are vapor-permeable, and therefore belong to the breathable. They dry quickly, have virtually no odor. If the house has normal humidity, water emulsion is an excellent choice;
- Acrylic paint also almost does not smell and dries quickly. The presence in the composition of acrylic resins makes it possible to use paint in rooms with high humidity;
- Latex paint with a chic texture is ideal for painting wallpaper or textured plaster.
- It is resistant to scratches and other mechanical stress. Latex paint organically looks on vertical surfaces, you can appreciate it by the attached photo wall decor in the living room;
- Silicone. Modern technology of using silicone resin makes this paint particularly resistant. It is more often chosen for outdoor use, but this does not negate the possibility of internal use.
