Cozy, modern and beautiful. This is what we strive for on a conscious level when decorating our homes.
All stages of the design of the room must be carefully thought out if we want to feel comfortable while being in the house.
And one of these important points is the question of how to finish the walls inside the house, namely, what materials to use.
For some, the main thing is quality and expensive appearance, someone prefers inexpensive options and looks for suitable material based on this criterion.
What materials can be used when decorating the walls inside a country house?
There are a lot of finishing materials today to get confused when choosing the type that suits you.
In order not to get lost in all the variety, we present to your attention the main options, among which you will find both classic ones that have become familiar for a long time, and something new, but no less attractive. In any case, the choice and the final decision is yours.
There are the following types:
Wallpaper. This is a classic that has a very wide price range, and is also divided into various categories that differ in the structure of the material, color, pattern, quality, etc. It can be paper wallpaper (the simplest and cheapest), vinyl (more dense and durable), paintable, textile. The latter are laminated with fabric, are environmentally friendly, but will also cost you a lot.
In addition, liquid wallpaper is gaining popularity due to the ease of installation and the absence of seams. A few more eco-friendly options are glass and cork (from cork).
And not many have heard of metallic wallpaper, which consists of paper and a layer of foil with embossed or patterned. Also today on sale you can find murals with a 3D effect, which will give the room depth and originality.
Wall panels. They can be moisture resistant - from natural wood, from plastic, with a double-sided laminated surface, from hardboard (fiberboard, MDF). And they can be non-moisture resistant, based on chipboard. Cork panels are popular today.
In addition to the decorative function, others also perform - sound and heat insulation, and the air gap between the wall and the panel will mask communications and wiring. In addition, they are easy to care for, just wipe with a damp cloth. And the ease of installation and the absence of debris is another plus in their favor.
Cork. Remarkable for its texture, natural shades, environmental friendliness. Average cost per 1 sq.m. is approximately 400-450 rubles. and more expensive.
Tiles are also quite a popular material., which is distinguished by a variety of prices, colors, textures. It can imitate wood, stone and other natural surfaces. There are ordinary tiles and mosaic (more expensive). If we talk about the first option, then the most common will be ceramic. It can be porous and glazed.
For interior decoration, tiles under the marking A / B III are suitable. There is also a glass tile, a popular variety of which is mirror. Another type of tile is polystyrene, which is an excellent insulator (from steam, gas, moisture), but it melts at 60 ° C or more, and also does not retain heat, which is not a negative factor on a hot summer day.
Natural stone - a very beautiful coating, however, not everyone can afford to decorate the walls in the country with such material, since natural stone is expensive.
In addition, it must be used wisely and preferably in combination with other coatings, otherwise you can only waste money and get banal bad taste. A cheaper option is an artificial stone, which is not easy to distinguish from the real one.
clapboard- an inexpensive and very popular material that will give the room comfort and warmth.
What determines the choice of material for wall decoration?
Just saying "like" is not enough. It is necessary to take into account what the walls of the house are made of, the type of room where the walls will be finished (bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, etc.).
You can decorate the walls of a wooden house in the following ways:
- wall painting;
- using plastic panels;
- wet cladding - rarely used, since the tree does not tolerate moisture;
- plastering;
- drywall;
- use of lining.
Before you start decorating the walls of a log house, you first need to put tow, moss or other material for thermal insulation and sealing in the cracks. Also try to choose a material that will protect the walls from the timber from moisture on them.
The internal walls of a frame house can be finished with almost any material that you like. The main thing is to select it in accordance with the type of room. Usually I choose drywall as the basis, as the most affordable material, and the final finish is already laid on it.
For the kitchen and bathroom, ceramic tiles, plastic panels and other moisture-resistant materials are usually chosen. Wallpaper is perfect for wall decoration in the bedroom, living room.
And if the walls of the house are made of foam blocks, which are sensitive to sudden changes in temperature and humidity? Then the finishing materials must be selected depending on these criteria. Here, again, it is better to take a hinged drywall structure and the use of vapor barrier materials as a basis. This will help prevent condensation from forming. Well, you can already glue wallpaper, paint, etc. on drywall.
You can finish the walls in the country in many ways, the main thing is to think through everything in advance and not rush. Remember that when buying finishing materials, you can always consult with consultants in the store.
