The hallway has a special "status" in any apartment, as this room is, in fact, a checkpoint. That is why it is necessary to take into account all the nuances before deciding the question of how and how to trim the walls in our hallway and what material to choose.
First, it is more polluted than other rooms, once we take off our shoes, outer clothing, put things on the floor( and often close to the wall).Secondly, it is in the hallway, more often than in other rooms, various scratches appear on the walls. For example, in winter, coming from the street with sleds, the child will not go to the living room with them. He will leave them in the hallway, putting them to the wall. If the dog waits, when it is led to walk, then a couple of times will necessarily scratch against the wall. And examples of the fact that the cladding of walls in the hallway is more often than in other rooms, is worthless, very much.
So, the finishing materials for the hallway should:
- be durable and durable;
- is not very dirty and easy to wash;
- create a certain positive attitude, since it is the finishing of this room that people judge both about the house and about the household.
The choice of finishing materials is huge, there would be money. Let's try to figure out what to use for finishing the hallway, if we have a small, like most of our compatriots, prosperity.
Wallpapers
Vinyl wallpapers. Have two undoubted advantages - they can be washed an unlimited number of times and the price is quite affordable. And given the rich choice of different colors and shades, drawings for every taste, there will be no difficulties in selecting such wallpapers. Vinyl wallpaper is produced either on paper or on a non-woven basis. The latter are more durable. If the walls in the hallway are uneven, have pronounced defects, then it is recommended to use models with foamed vinyl. They "disguise" all the flaws in the surface of the walls. By the way, experts pay attention to the fact that such wallpaper cat for some reason does not scratch.
Liquid wallpaper. Such wallpaper is considered an expensive material. However, a wide range of their cost allows you to choose not too expensive option. Their advantage is that they perfectly align any surface. To prepare walls for processing with liquid wallpaper, there is no need to spend time and effort on preparatory measures. If the liquid wallpaper to cover with varnish, it will increase their service life and allow easy washing of any stains.
Manufacturers produce various types of liquid wallpaper, both for VIP buyers and ordinary consumers. When working with them, you do not need to unroll and measure the strips, work with glue and something to constantly trim.
Decorative plaster
This type of finishing material is also quite popular with consumers. Someone confuses this plaster with liquid wallpaper, but these are different materials. On application, it is somewhat more "capricious", since it requires an ideal flatness of the surface. Therefore, the preparation of the wall is mainly in its careful alignment. However, unlike liquid wallpaper, you can buy either "colored" plaster, or unpainted composition. In this case, the coated surface can be painted or painted to your taste. But the liquid wallpaper will not work.
Paints
It is clear that repair of the hallway is best done in the last place. After all, its design depends on how the rest of the room will be finished. It should "fit" into the design of the entire apartment. Therefore, in some cases, painting the walls is the most acceptable option. However, the complexity is the same as with plaster - you need to level the surface of the walls. Completely or partially unevenness is eliminated, if partially applied a layer of plaster( normal), and then pasted the walls with old paper wallpaper. This will hide the existing irregularities.
Walls can be finished with siding panels, because their choice is huge. And the material of such panels is different. It can be plastic, wood, metal. However, one must take into account the fact that the preparation of the walls will take a long time.
There are more expensive finishing materials, but it is their cost and imposes certain restrictions on the application.
