Wallpaper Design - The Most Modern Ideas 2016

It is extremely difficult to imagine a modern room in which wallpaper would not be used as a finishing material. The history of wallpaper design dates back many years and during this time, in addition to the simplest paper version of this finishing material, many variations of the use of various raw materials to create original, textured, textile, washable and other models have appeared. When a modern homeowner gets into the store of finishing materials, it’s time to get confused by the vastness of the assortment - paper, vinyl, non-woven, textile, from cork and papyrus, burlap and with metallized elements, liquid and glass. Let's take a look together - for which rooms to choose one or another type of wallpaper, and what designers advise in the upcoming season.

 

This type of wallpaper appeared long ago and does not lose its popularity, first of all, because of cheapness. You can easily re-wallpaper wallpapers in rooms at least every year if you use paper-based products. Unfortunately, at a low cost of material, the benefits of this type of wallpaper end. Paper products can not be washed, they can be torn easily enough during repair, as well as being already on the walls. Of course, such wallpapers are suitable only for rooms with low humidity and pollution levels - bedrooms, offices and living rooms.

Single-layer paper wallpapers are called simplex, and double-layer wallpapers are called duplex. Duplex wallpapers are slightly more durable products - in the production process two layers of paper, one of which with the decor, are glued together. Duplex wallpapers are more popular - they can hide defects in the surface of the walls, simple sticker and subsequent removal.

Vinyl wallpapers are much stronger, more durable than paper, in addition, they can withstand moisture, which means they are suitable for decorating kitchen facilities, hallways and even bathrooms. Vinyl products can be created on a paper or non-woven basis with a PVC coating. This type of wallpaper costs significantly more than paper, but the cost is depreciated due to a sufficiently long service life.

In turn, hot embossed vinyl wallpapers can be divided into different types - heavy ones are great for masking wall irregularities, compact vinyl (foamed wallpapers) can imitate various surfaces and be embossed, silk-screened wallpapers have an original texture, but need preliminary preparation of glued planes .

Vinyl wallpaper can be found in the decoration of the kitchen and even the bathroom, because this material does not fade under the influence of sunlight and can withstand cleaning, wet cleaning. Such wallpapers can be glued in the hallways, where the level of surface contamination is quite high.

The production of modern vinyl wallpaper allows you to create the smallest micropores on the surface of the product, which allows the upper layer of material to “breathe”.

This type of wallpaper can consist entirely of non-woven fabric or a combination of non-woven fabric and PVC film. Flizelin is a non-woven material based on cellulose fibers, this raw material is much stronger and more durable than paper.

Non-woven wallpaper is not only durable, but also resistant to abrasion, can be found with a printed pattern, and can be used for painting. But for gluing this type of wallpaper it is necessary to use special glue. Although the sticker process itself is very convenient - the adhesive is applied to the walls, and the canvas itself remains dry. Which significantly reduces the risk of tearing the base and erasing the top layer of the decor.

This original type of finish, which is a powder that must be diluted independently in water, can become a highlight of the interior. Such a powder consists of cellulose and cotton fibers, glue, and dyes. One of the most important characteristics and at the same time an important advantage is a seamless surface. The process of “pasting” is more like painting, because liquid wallpaper is applied with a roller.

This type of wallpaper is a combination of a paper or non-woven backing with a textile canvas. As the top layer can be used flax, cotton, viscose and even velvet. In addition to the fact that this type of wallpaper is environmentally friendly and easily “breathes”, the material has much higher noise insulation properties than ordinary paper wallpapers.

But textile wallpaper also has drawbacks, among which, in addition to high cost, there are low dirt-repellent properties. Textile wallpapers are not wet-cleaned; they can only be vacuumed and wiped with a dry cloth. Textile wallpapers look especially advantageous in bedrooms, where you can give free rein to imagination and use, for example, velor wallpapers with velvety decor on a paper basis.

Such wallpapers are distinguished by the presence of gilding or silvering in the decor. These are dense products that can hide surface imperfections that do not fade in the sun and at the same time bring luxury and elegance to any interior. Such wallpapers look great in bedrooms and living rooms, large offices or home libraries.
