Wallpaper under the tree in the interior

Now unobtrusive luxury has come into fashion. She is not striking, but certainly speaks of the status of home owners. To achieve such an effect, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money on repairs, you can do with a minimum. Even the imitation, if it is executed with high quality, will look stylish and elegant. The boom in natural materials began right after the crazy potpourri of the eighties. Two decades after such a shake-up of bad taste, which briefly became a canon, it was required for the interiors of the houses to be decorated with a minimum of furniture and decorative elements, and stone, metal and wood returned to the decoration materials. True, plastic still occasionally slips in the decoration of rooms. It’s already difficult to do without it; it’s enough to recall the modern PVC double-glazed windows, with which no wooden frames can be compared in functionality.The basis of the finish is natural materials, because the eco-style keeps the brand. The tree on the walls always looked rich and colorful, but the available species are not so durable, and the rare ones are significantly higher. In addition, pine and birch are already a little boring, but the soul sometimes requires exotic, which is not so easy to get. If you want to see a tree on your walls, then a wallpaper with its imitation is what you need. Consider this material from different angles and reveal all its shortcomings and advantages.

Appointment

Wallpaper under a tree firmly occupied its niche in the market of finishing materials. They really reliably repeat the pattern of wood, and can only give themselves out if you look very closely. In this case, wallpaper means not only paper or non-woven rolls, which we are all used to. Modern materials such as cork, bamboo, veneer and pressed shavings reliably repeat the texture of the original sample. They make the surface layer, which guests and hosts will admire. A more budgetary option is considered to be high-quality murals that mimic wood with only a pattern. The higher the quality of the material, the more difficult it is to visually distinguish it from the original. The product range is rich, which allows you to choose an imitation of almost any type of wood: from a budgetary pine to a fabulously expensive ebony. Although in expensive interiors with a claim to luxury, natural shades of brown prevail.

Among analogues, such wallpapers are more environmentally friendly than plastic imitating wood, and they surely bypass ordinary lining for cheapness.In addition, wood trim can be used in a private house, but it is rather problematic to realize such a project in an apartment. Especially small “boxes” in Khrushchev cannot boast an abundance of free space. Finishing "eat" extra centimeters.

Features of application in the interior

Before you go shopping for finishing materials, you need to determine the required characteristics. They directly depend on the room in which they will be used. If we are talking about a bedroom or a nursery, then it is better to give preference to wallpaper, which is based on natural, recycled wood. Cork sheets or the simplest paper version are also suitable. True, the latter should not be glued in the nursery, as the material has a short life, but is easily replaced by another (in case of the walls drawn with a marker). Durable wallpapers are chosen for the kitchen or hallway, which have increased resistance to mechanical damage and can withstand conditions of high humidity, temperature changes. Here, preference is given to materials from wood waste with a special laminated coating.

Kinds

Conventionally, all wallpapers simulating a tree can be divided into two groups:

  • On a thin basis, most often paper or non-woven;
  • Two-layer, “front” side of which is made of dense materials.

The second, in turn, classifies several more types:

  • Veneer
  • Cork;
  • Panels, tiles and boards from natural wood waste;
  • Bamboo

Each of the types has a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Wood Imitation Wallpaper

Wallpaper with imitation wood is often used to finish one wall in a room. On this surface, emphasis is made, which is complemented by other elements of eco-style. A room completely pasted over with such a budget option looks harmonious only in cases where the texture of the wallpaper changes and alternates.The “solid” option is suitable for the background design of summer cottages or country houses that mimic absolute environmental friendliness and maintain their proximity to a casual, rustic style. Wallpaper with a wood pattern is made of paper or non-woven, as well as of multilayer modern materials. They can be:

  • Acrylic
  • Vinyl;
  • Fiberglass;
  • Textile.

To increase strength, the surface is laminated, and such wallpaper is used in rooms with a special microclimate. Textiles repeat not only the pattern, but also partially the relief of the wood, but the material is capricious and will require special care. Separately, it is worth noting the photo wallpaper. They can imitate not only the texture of the material, but also depict tightly fitted planks, slats, saw cuts or different-sized pieces of wood with traces of nails and paint. The latest aged version is suitable for rooms in vintage and rustic styles.

Veneer Wallpaper

Veneer is translated from German as “wood chips”. The wood is processed on a special machine, which cuts it into thin sheets with a thickness of 1-3 mm. According to the production technology, the material is classified into three types:

  • Peeled;
  • Sawn;
  • Sliced.

Veneer sheets often surface furniture and flooring. In appearance, they are also divided into three types:

NaturalThe most environmentally friendly type. Its colors are limited to shades of brown.
Fan-lineThis veneer undergoes double processing. Shelled softwood sheets are pressed into blocks, which are then cut again into sheets. Using this technology, the finished material has a complex pattern.
Color veneerIt is obtained by coloring natural material.

Wallpaper consists of two layers: the bottom is paper or non-woven, and the top is a veneer sheet. Finishing material is made, as a rule, from valuable species of wood:

  • Beech;
  • Oak;
  • Wenge;
  • Zebrano

Wallpaper has high sound and heat insulation properties.They let moisture through, which allows them to be used in combination with artificial materials, thereby reducing the level of negative impact of the latter.

Cork Finishing Materials

Cork - part of the tree bark, occupying the second place in lightness among solids. The material got its name from the tree of the same name, in which this layer is the thickest and fastest growing. The bark is cut from cork oak without harm to the tree, after a certain period it is restored. There are two types of wallpaper:

  • Roll;
  • Leafy.

For both species, the bark is carefully ground into shavings, which are then pressed. For sheet wallpaper, the resulting mass is ground on the front side and coated with a special varnish. Often this material is made single-layer. In a rolled version, the crushed cork is applied in a thin layer on a paper base, and sometimes it is coated with wax on top. The material is obtained in a beautiful sandy shade with dark splashes. Separately, you can order wallpaper with a complex pattern, original colors or even with an abstract picture that is made up of wood texture. Cork has high elasticity, which does not affect its strength.

The paper base of the roll wallpaper can be made of self-adhesive paper. Such material is suitable for smooth walls without defects.

Bamboo wallpaper

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. The stems look spectacular especially in the interior with oriental motifs. Bamboo is actively used not only for decoration, but also as a decor. Living plants or "trees of happiness" are placed even in the bathrooms, as they like high humidity. Bamboo wallpapers are classified into two types:

  • From the inner layers of plant stems;
  • From the outside.

The first stages of processing are the same for both species. First, the stems are dried, and then kept in a room with a special temperature regime and humidity level.After this, the wood (although in relation to the plant it is absolutely correct to call it that) is cut into thin strips, which are glued to the base of the fabric. Wallpaper from the outer layers, as a rule, have a more colorful picture. They are stronger than the second type and resistant to ultraviolet, as this part of the plant is adapted to the constant struggle with environmental conditions. Wallpaper from the inside of the bamboo is smoother, because they must be sanded. The color of this material is solid, closer to the dark shades of brown. Such wallpapers are coated with special substances that prevent burnout.

Bamboo wallpaper in the interior

Bamboo in the interior should not be carried away. Due to the characteristic structure, a large amount of material in the room can “ripple in the eyes”. For this reason, it is recommended that either only one wall, or even a part of it, be finished with wallpaper. Of the shortcomings, sensitivity to temperature is noted, the material can become wrinkled and simply fall off from the fabric base. But with bamboo wallpaper, subject to the use of a special coating, you can finish the wall not only inside the house, but also outside. Wood is environmentally friendly and has a bactericidal effect: it prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms. Unfortunately, the joints of the paintings after gluing will be visible to the naked eye and this aesthetic defect cannot be fixed. Bamboo will last a long time, is resistant to mechanical damage and is easy to clean.

Solid wood sawdust and shavings boards

Slabs of sawdust and shavings are material that is produced from production waste, but at the same time it has all the advantages of wood and is free from its drawbacks. The composition of the products includes resins that are absolutely safe for humans and mineral binders. The special treatment to which the plates are subjected makes it possible to forget about rotting and cracking. Solid wood uncoated material is widely used for roughing.A special top layer, which provides a beautiful aesthetic appearance, makes the plates more noble. It is made of paper with a characteristic pattern, which is covered with a protective film. Even the rooms decorated in the elite loft and art nouveau styles do not disregard such decoration. In more expensive versions, plates on top of the film are coated with a special composition that simulates the relief. Also, the material is necessarily saturated with antiseptics and solutions that make it immune to moisture and fire. For this reason, the coating is used for wall decoration in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Of the shortcomings, low vapor permeability is noted. The walls will not breathe and the room will have to be ventilated periodically. Such “wallpapers” are made in various formats from small tiles to large sheets, which can be used to finish walls in a spacious room with “one fell swoop”.

Pros and cons

Wallpaper under a tree in the interior has a number of advantages, which significantly outweigh the few shortcomings. They are created, as a rule, trying to “fit” the imitation to the original not only externally. The technology for wallpaper production allows the use of exclusively natural additional components, binders and solutions for coating. Bamboo wallpapers, for example, are glued to the wall using organic glue only. Cork, veneer, sawdust and chips have good thermal insulation. They were specially modified for the sake of increased immunity to mechanical damage and wear. With a natural tree, you will constantly have to worry about decay, cracks on a withered surface, deformation and the appearance of parasites that will insidiously eat up and destroy the material from the inside. Here you can forget about all these troubles.Good noise insulation will be installed in the rooms, which will drown out the neighbors and the sounds of the street. Sawdust and chips are impregnated with special solutions that are harmless to humans, but increase the strength and characteristics of materials. The main disadvantage of such wallpapers can only be poor vapor permeability. This does not apply to bamboo, but is characteristic of other materials, so the rooms will have to be constantly ventilated to expel stagnant air. Some of the minuses include the price. The imitation materials of the highest quality using natural raw materials, the cost is certainly high, but still beats the original wood. And finally, with such wallpapers it’s easy to do the repair yourself, the technology of fixing them on the wall does not require special skills from you.

Texture

The texture of the wallpaper under the tree can completely repeat the original pattern or create entire complex abstract paintings from numerous dashes and lines. There are many variations: from ornate designs of juniper wood to spotted yew. The author's collections reproduce complex drawings of rare breeds: wenge, Aningeria, bubingo, gonkalo, laurel. Although such wallpapers can imitate not only ordinary wood. Their texture repeats the ship's skin, sawn trunks with annual rings, boards of different sizes, fitted to each other. The color scheme is not limited to shades of brown, although for adherents of eco-style you have to choose only from natural tones. The gradation of the most popular options is as follows:

  • Light gold;
  • Mahogany color;
  • Sepia;
  • Black ebony with an admixture of gray tones;
  • White birch shade with yellowness;

In the interior of the rooms

In the bedroom, a “piece of wood” is placed on the wall against which the head of the bed rests. As a rule, this side is highlighted with color, light and decor. Wallpaper is also pasted in two stripes, which are combined with other materials in soothing shades. The tree here will add additional comfort, and it will become easy and pleasant for the owners to fall asleep. It’s not worth saving on wallpaper in the bedroom and the nursery. These are the very rooms where a person is most vulnerable to all kinds of toxins and harmful substances, which can emit poor quality materials. In the nursery, one corner is also sufficient, which is convenient to indicate the working area. The design of a spacious living room with a fireplace can not do without a piece of naturalness. The tree is especially suitable for a guest from the north - the Scandinavian style and for imitating a Russian village house with national color. It is convenient to use such wallpapers to zone the area on the section in combined rooms. In small halls, the space can be expanded due to the gray wood pattern of boards placed horizontally. They will seem to extend the room and visually make it wider, similarly do with too low ceilings, which adjust the decoration of the walls, tending to the sky.

The interior of the room with wallpaper under a tree

In the bathroom and in the kitchen, the microclimate is very similar. In both of these rooms, calm intervals alternate with “stress” for the interior: temperature changes, increase and decrease in humidity. Wallpaper for the kitchen and bathroom must be selected special. Their coating should be heavy-duty and withstand the above loads without harm to the material and additional wear. The view of the hallway, pasted with wood wallpaper, immediately from the doorway will tell guests that nature lovers with good taste live in the house.For this room, they usually choose light shades of brown, because the size of the hallway leaves much to be desired, and natural light hardly gets here. These colors will cause a feeling of additional spaciousness, and the walls seem to begin to breathe. Wallpaper under the tree will not be lost in modernity, provence and fusion. In the best traditions of modern design, they decorate only one side. In general, in any room a "solid" finish should be avoided, otherwise it will be in the room in excess. This rule can only be neglected in rooms where the walls really act as an inconspicuous background, which is mostly covered by interior items. In other cases, try to combine, if not materials, then at least their colors and texture.
