• The coating is breathable, since the texture of the liquid wallpaper is such that the whole consists of tiny pores and holes. This provides good heat and air exchange in the room where liquid wallpaper is used - at least in the hallway, at least in the living room. Also, this design is an additional sound and noise insulation. In a room with liquid wallpaper it gets warmer.
• Liquid wallpaper in the interior is very simple to use. Even a beginner finisher will easily figure out how to apply them.In addition, even if the application is not completely even, the porous rough texture will easily hide all small flaws. And in any case, the output will be a beautiful smooth surface with a luxurious fibrous texture. And if you have initially uneven walls in the living room, hallway or on vertical surfaces of the kitchen, they have holes or other blemishes, liquid wallpaper will help to hide them.
• Liquid wallpaper is simple and easy to use. And if a child or pet irreparably ruined a part of the wall with liquid wallpaper, contaminating them or scratching them, then in this case it is enough to cut an unfit piece, and put a new coating of the same shade in its place. Would it be possible to make such a “repair" unnoticed with ordinary wallpaper? Unlikely.
• Liquid wallpaper is very durable, especially if it is made on a silk basis. They are very pleasant to the touch - silky and soft, warm.
• Wallpaper is not afraid of sunlight, does not fade even if the wall is constantly under sunlight. Over time, they do not fade, do not lose their decorative effect, luxurious texture and attractiveness. The design of the living room, hallway or kitchen is very durable.
• Liquid wallpapers are also good because their loose and supple structure allows you to lay out any picture. For example, the nursery can be decorated with suitable cartoon characters, and in the hallway lay out a stylish geometric pattern. Making a drawing is not difficult even for a novice decorator. To do this, you need to make a pencil contour of the future drawing on the wall and fill this contour with the necessary colors of the liquid composition. And after the drawing has dried, it is already possible to apply the background around it.
• Such a decorative composition is also unique in that when you get tired of the design, you can easily remove the old pattern and make a new one without damaging the background around. In this case, you can regularly update your interior, without making large material costs. The new pattern will organically fit into the old background, you will not see even a small seam, even if it is the white walls of the kitchen. And on the other hand, if you are a conservative, and for durability, reliability, consistency in everything, then liquid wallpaper will not disappoint you.
• Annoying joints spoiled more than one roll of wallpaper and cost a lot of nerve cells to those who glued them. When using liquid decorative composition, you will forget about such a problem. The entire surface of the treated wall will look like a single, monolithic whole. This design looks very harmonious.
• In order to apply the composition to the wall, you do not need to free the entire room, as in the case of ordinary, rolled wallpaper. This makes their use convenient.
• Before applying a decorative composition, you do not need to perfectly align the walls. Since they themselves serve as an excellent equalizer.
• If desired, liquid wallpaper, already applied to the surface, can be repainted in a different color directly on the wall. This is especially true in the hallway, where the most dirt is brought in from the street. Also often on the walls of the kitchen there are greasy annoying stains from food and splashing oil.
• The surface treated with such a decorative composition does not attract dust, it is hygroscopic. Therefore suitable for use in children. There will be no need to often wash the walls, wipe them, or in any other way care.
• And if you cover the decorative surface with varnish, then it can be washed. This option, of course, is not suitable for children and kitchen, it is more applicable in the hallway or in the corridors.

Where apply

In construction stores, you can find two types of liquid wallpaper. The first type is a ready-to-use mixture. It only needs to be diluted with water and can be applied to walls. And the second type is just a white powder, in which you still need to add pigments and additional decorative components. Professional design, of course, involves the use of the second type, with independent selection of the desired shade and texture.Consider where and in which rooms the use of liquid wallpaper is the most common and justified:

• Most often, design with liquid wallpaper is used in those rooms that are "in sight" where they receive guests. These are living rooms, dining rooms, corridors. Very often they are used to decorate the hallway. But now this decorative design is leaving more and more “deeper” rooms, conquering bedrooms, nurseries and kitchens.
• In the living room, dining room and hallway, liquid wallpapers with decorative components look very good. For example, designers like to use small pearl strings as decorative impregnations. With such wallpaper, an ordinary living room will immediately turn into a royal one.
• In the kitchen, the use of this decorative material is justified by the fact that it is very practical and looks beautiful. You can choose any color to match the kitchen furniture, make any desired shade and texture. With this design, the kitchen takes on a luxurious and well-groomed appearance. In addition, such walls do not require constant self-care, they do not show dirt and grease, and if necessary, the dirty parts of the wall can easily be replaced with a new coating.

How to dilute the mixture correctly

In the store you get a decorative composition in special packages in a dry form, like gypsum or other dry building mixtures. At home, you will have to, using the attached instructions, dilute the dry mixture with water in the prescribed proportion, and then apply it to the walls. Keep in mind that after you have diluted the mixture with water, you can not immediately apply it to the surface - the fibers need time to swell and soak in water. Only then will they fully display their adhesive and decorative properties. It takes 15-20 minutes.

A properly prepared mixture should, in consistency, resemble dough for fritters, that is, be semi-liquid. Add dye, achieving the desired shade, which provides for the planned design of the room. Apply the composition with a construction spatula. Sometimes a roller is also used for this. But the roller is most often used when it is necessary to make decorative drawings on the surface.

In conclusion, it must be said that the use of liquid wallpaper in the realities of modern life is a perfectly justified choice. Such materials are the future, since it is much more convenient, simple and durable and practical. Obsolete roll wallpaper is gradually replaced by modern materials, like liquid wallpaper that everyone loves.
