To date, there are many ways to decorate the walls. In recent years, people are increasingly looking at the so-called soft walls, which are ideal for a bedroom. It should be noted in advance that it is better to look at this finish only for those people who live in large houses, because soft walls visually reduce the room. In addition, this finish will be quite expensive, and given that materials for soft walls are made in European countries, in our stores the prices for this product are constantly growing.

Selection of wall finishing materials

As a material for creating soft walls, one of three options can be used:

• imitation leather;
• skin;
• cloth. Of course, fabric is the most popular and practical material for this kind of wall decoration. It is worth noting that in this case, a strong and durable fabric is needed, which will last at least several years, without losing its original quality. If the house has a dog or cat, you need to take care of the high-strength fabric. It will cost much more than usual, but this ensures that pets can not spoil the finish. In this case, you can also look at buying
  upholstery fabric for furniture. It is quite strong, and the variety of choice in stores is always pleasing.

  

  Many companies produce fabric to order. In this case, you can choose from hundreds of options available in the manufacturer's database.

  The imitation leather is also often used for upholstery. However, this material is often of low quality, including low strength. Despite the fact that this is just a substitute for the skin, it is very expensive. In itself, leatherette - a very heavy material, so in terms of stretching to the surface of the walls, it shows itself not from the best side. Thus, professionals are more likely to admit such work. In the end, the finish turns out to be original and solid.

  Natural skin for wall finishing is not often used. Obviously, it's all about the high cost of the material. To cover the skin of the entire room will require a lot of money. Also, for finishing, you just need to hire professionals who, by their competent work with expensive materials, will not incur any losses to you. Often, the natural leather in terms of decoration is no different from leatherette. Many people choose in favor of natural leather because of a more attractive appearance. If the properties of leatherette and natural material are identical, it is better to save money.

  Filler for soft walls

  Before the repair work, you need to opt for the optimum filler for the finish. It's about the material that will hide under the skin or cloth.

  Most often people prefer foam rubber. This is a fairly well-known material that has been used for decades. Foam is best suited for creating a thick filler layer. At the same time, the material is very soft and remains so for many years. With the help of foam rubber, a layer 4-5 cm thick, and sometimes even thicker, is created. Note that you should not create a too thick filler layer, otherwise the wall will look like a kind of trampoline. Foam is best used when performing decorative elements of a soft wall, which should create a large ledge.

  

  Synthepone is also used quite often. The main feature of this material is the uniformity of the surface. This greatly simplifies the installation of a soft wall. Most often, people acquire solid rolls of material and in a short period of time finish the entire surface of the walls. Also, the sintepon is much lighter than foam rubber, so in time it will not sag. To fix the material, use a construction stapler or small nails. Thus, for finishing the bedroom, sintepon is an ideal option.

  Types of decoration of soft walls

  Despite the fact that masters prefer to create soft walls very rarely, there are several ways to do this upholstery:

  • wall covering using a frame and special rails;
  • creation of soft tiles and further lining their walls;
  • draping;
  • wall covering by technology "capiton".

  The first way in which a frame and slats are used is used very often. In this case, a large metal frame is created, which will look like a frame for gypsum board. Mounted metal structure to the wall with screws. All the internal space of the construction must be filled with sintepon.

  

  This same work can be done with racks. Wooden elements( racks) should be located along the perimeter of the walls and hold the filler. In this case, it is necessary to fasten the sintepon( or foam rubber) to the fabric fixed on the top rail. The fabric needs to be wrapped in several layers, and fasten with a construction stapler. Then the fabric is stretched to the lower rack and similarly attached to the filler.

  If the wall is very large, then in the case of creating a metal frame it is necessary to divide the structure into several parts, otherwise a large load on some areas of the frame will negatively affect the reliability of the upholstery.

  

  The fastening with the technology "capiton" will create a really chic interior in the apartment. In this case, there is no need to create a frame, but experts advise to cover the wall with plywood. On the sheets of plywood holes are made necessary for the installation of buttons. Holes can become contours to create a unique pattern-contour on the wall. The fabric is attached to the back of the plywood sheet. Between the fabric( skin) and plywood is foam. Such panels are attached to the wall using liquid nails or dowels.

  Drapery is the simplest way of creating a soft wall .It consists in the erection of a free composition of tissue. You can glue the fabric to the wall so that it looks like wallpaper. You can also alternate different types of materials, creating a unique pattern.
