Repair in the apartment is a space for self-expression and creativity. First of all, it is the finish that forms the general appearance of the room, being a kind of base for a holistic image. Walls are not only a functional division of space, but also a full-fledged platform for the expression of creativity. The design of the walls has always been of particular importance, but at the moment it takes a much more aesthetic and non-trivial look, moving forward in development. However, the formation of a cozy atmosphere and comfort, both visual and physical, remains paramount. For spectacular and unique decoration, special techniques and all kinds of materials are used that can transform the home into an unsurpassed work of art!
Multicolor is in trend, but white also leaves no position - this is a great background for plants, decor and paintings. To diversify the color palette is important competently, given the compatibility, mutual influence and laws of perception. Adjacent spaces do not accept a dissonant form. The entrance hall, for example, in the shade of “coffee with milk”, should not be lighter than the neighboring rooms: light beige, white, opal design is chosen for them. The kitchen space can be bright, but not annoying: pink, red and intense orange are inferior to light green, yellow, olive and terracotta. For the bathroom, you can choose the motley version with alternating sky blue and blue, which will be appreciated by a boy or teenager. If we divide it into office and home shades, then the first can be attributed to blue, gray, turquoise, and the second - coffee, apricot, yellow. An excellent effect is produced by combinations emphasizing each other:
light yellow + deep yellow;
creamy + coffee;
white + chocolate.
Important! To avoid disappointment, before starting work, it is worth experimenting on a computer screen in any graphics program.
Style selection
The decoration is designed in accordance with the style preferences: baroque, hi-tech, modern, country, classic, minimalism, etc. Each of them determines the decor, color palette, choice of furniture. For baroque painting is not suitable, it is more relevant for country, high-tech and minimalism. The latter assumes uniformity and neutrality. Country and modern in this regard are more creative and multifaceted. Experiments are welcome here. The pattern is applied using a stencil and can be contrasting. Folk style and country are characterized by imitation of stone or wood, which is important for the kitchen.The freedom-loving loft is characterized by plastering, steel tile lining and exposure of surfaces - the presence of brick ledges. A distinctive feature of the avant-garde can be called a large number of mirror surfaces, creating the illusion of incredible space and luxury. Antique style stands out for the use of expensive natural materials in decoration.
Materials
You can only envy that young man or girl who, without difficulty, found a suitable finish for the hall, nursery, bedroom, guest room of their home. The rest have to study the advantages and disadvantages of a large list of materials. The answer to such a frequently asked question is often in the preferred interior style and financial position. When preference is given to ethnic design and eco-style, it is worth choosing natural finishing materials. If preferences are more modern and technological, it will be more rational to dwell on the latest innovations in industrial design. Admirers of antiques can also taste the peeling walls - there is nothing wrong with this if the interior brings positive emotions. An important aspect of the choice is practicality, since each room and its zones have separate functional purposes. Putty will help level the surface or create a texture, paints are almost always used for illustrations or backgrounds. The tile can become an independent finish or a component of the mosaic, and a false gypsum plaster - a central decoration.

Paint
Acrylics are chosen for artistic painting, and water-based ones for contrast. In the first case, in the absence of artistic skills, stencils and vinyl stickers are used. Using masking tape, stripes or a cage are made. Multi-colored slate options will highlight a stand for drawing and writing.
Wallpaper
The most affordable solution. There are monophonic, with a wood-like texture, wild stone, with patterns, different in density and water resistance. The method of vertical or horizontal combination will add a twist. Paper - hygroscopic, non-woven and vinyl - strong, hide defects, cullet - resistant to damage, repainted.
Photowall-paper
Used as an expressive accent, for example, at the head of the bed. To order are made according to the provided photo or picture. Fabrics are made and applied with a single sheet, non-woven and paper - in parts.
Decorative plaster
For many, the word "plaster" pops up in its memory its direct purpose - surface smoothing or rough work. But such surface decoration is distinguished by a wealth of advantages: small defects of the base, artless application, duration of use, and the creation of all kinds of relief are masked. Thanks to it, it will be possible to decorate the surface with patterns or geometric shapes, add pearly tint to them. Even with two competent strokes with a spatula, it will turn out to give the room a spectacular and unique look. You can experiment with the use of multi-colored plaster. Many types are distinguished, including: silicate, acrylic, mineral, etc. Each of them has specific features, ranging from appearance to technical characteristics. The invoice may be as follows:
under the stone;
bark beetle - under slightly spoiled tree bark;
with marble chips;
"Rain" - similar to drops on glass;
flock - silk effect;
Venetian
"rock".
Wooden lining
Lining has a large-scale decorative potential. In addition to low cost, the material has a lot of aesthetic and functional advantages.A typical wooden lining is environmentally friendly, and the natural structure and pattern successfully fit into Provence, minimalism, country, French, Mediterranean, English, Scandinavian and Far Eastern directions. It will be possible to avoid the “country-house” effect, which is not liked by the girls, if it is used selectively as accent areas, and not over the entire surface. The lining can be painted or tinted in any shade (pink, white, blue, purple, etc.), if the wood motifs did not appeal to you. For cladding inside the house, manufacturers begin to offer more advanced materials instead of typical cladding boards of pine or oak:
Eurolining - from expensive wood;
American lining - stylized for laying overlapping boards;
block house - looks like a log masonry.
MDF panels
MDF panels are sheet material made by dry hot pressing of wood chips. The fibers are bound by ecological lignin obtained from wood. The material is easily milled, polished, glued, drilled and mounted. Above, decorative cutting and sawing of various patterns can be performed. MDF panel panels are most popular due to the ingenuity of installation: there is a ridge on one side and a groove on the other. The tiled variety resembles large-sized tiles (installation is similar to the previous one). Sheet panels can have unequal dimensions and decoration. The front surface can be: veneered - texture and color are made "under the wood"; laminated - with the application of a polyvinyl chloride film of various shades, pictures, textures. You can also decorate the decoration using fashionable photo printing: the image from the photo is covered with water-repellent varnish on an acrylic base. MDF panels with the 3D effect are no less in demand, the surface of which is made in the form of waves, volumetric figures, relief.The material can also be treated with special paints with nacre or silver.
Wall Panels and Laminate
Sophisticated drywall panels look stylish and are successful in facing. The material is environmentally friendly and endowed with high technical characteristics. With its help, partitions are built for zoning the space. A non-standard idea is the cladding of the laminate, carried out on the same principle as on the floor. The type of lock joints is pre-selected - for this use, a fastening and railing system is specially developed that allows you to mount panels yourself. Mounted on a crate or by gluing. There are a lot of applications: as an auxiliary element, a kitchen apron, highlighting individual sections in the bathroom (laminated waterproof panels). The laying direction can be horizontal, vertical and Christmas tree, diagonal. The first method is relevant for a small area: the panels are stacked whole, the joints are closed with skirting boards. Vertical installation will help increase the height of the ceilings.
Important! Installation of the castle type of panels requires a substrate, while the adhesive is attached directly to the surface.
A rock
Facing with decorative stone is expensive, it requires the involvement of professional stackers in the process. The material is durable, strong and natural, able to emphasize the representativeness of the owner. In order for the decoration not to look gloomy, you will need sufficient lighting from the side and top or alternation of masonry with light plastered areas. With the help of stone, decoration of aquariums, fountains, landscaping areas, doorways is carried out. To simulate whole boulders and blocks, a special frame with stone trim is performed. The option is relevant for large rooms; for narrow rooms, stone decoration is generally not recommended (with the exception of the corridor).To save money, you can resort to facing with an artificial stone, as similar to natural as possible. It is lighter and easier to install, characterized by the presence of all kinds of colors and shapes. The expressiveness of the masonry will give a dark finish coating. Another design move is to highlight the contour with gold or bronze pigments, iridescent when exposed to light.
Tile
Ceramic moisture and wear-resistant tiles are relevant not only for bathrooms and loggias, it is also used in other residential premises. Porcelain stoneware, due to production specifics, is a durable and practical product, therefore it is widely in demand for finishing wall surfaces. It is characterized by imitation of most natural finishing materials, including wild stone and even crocodile skin. Tile "Cottoforte", for example, will be a perfect complement to any interior design. However, the cost of laying can not be called budget. In addition to ceramic, there is another type of tile: glass, tile, polyvinyl chloride, etc. The coating can be glazed (with a special glass layer) and unglazed. Using mosaic and figured tiles, you can create accent areas.
Fireplace
With a similar functional object, you can organize a real home. The design is executed in various stylistic directions and acts as the central or background object of the living room. First of all, the degree of creativity and the budget itself affect the result. The external arrangement of the hearth should not be out of the style of the selected room, especially if it acts as a leading accent. The most common minimalistic way of facing, because it successfully fits into any arrangement. Classic is characterized by even greater versatility and will be relevant almost always.Designers often offer country-style styling for private home ownership, involving stone or brick cladding using wood in the form of panels or battens. A full TV zone can be placed above the hearth.
Important! If the fireplace runs on natural fuel, you should take care of the presence of an air duct.
Niches and other drywall decorations
Functional superstructures from GKL can have the form of arches, niches and ledges for an aquarium, TV, communications shelter. In the latter case, the designs are equipped with hidden hatches. The false wall does not have to be straightforward; various shapes, bends, drops, shelves, arched passages, auxiliary structures for attaching attachments are allowed. Departure of false walls should have reasonable limits, since in case of insufficient space it can look ugly. Niches can be additionally equipped with lockable doors or curtains - this will help hide household appliances. A niche of a more saturated shade than the interior of all the walls in the living room, for example, can visually divide it into zones. To crush or complicate color fragments is not desirable. Alternating shades can increase the space or make it more compact in appearance.
Glass constructions and mirrors
Glass panels can differ in colors and textures - they are glued to a special color film or applied paint. The variety of choices allows you to choose the right model. Tempered glass structures can be fixed on top of previously finished glass, which creates a 3D effect. Among the advantages are the absence of seams due to integrity, moisture resistance, ingenuity of cleaning and high strength. The original look, great lighting and roominess will give the room a mirror. It is important that the frame meets the chosen style, for example, metal is relevant for high-tech. You can lay mirror tiles or make a solid mirror surface.From several pieces of mirrors with pronounced geometry (oval, rectangular, etc.) you can assemble a spectacular panel. The coldness of a large mirror is leveled by fixing on top of another smaller one, enclosed in an interesting decorated frame.
