How to glue wallpaper in the hall so that they can be admired
Once the pasting of walls with paper wallpaper was considered very prestigious, but it was a long time ago, and therefore we can be interested only in the historical fact itself. Today, there are many ways to finish the walls, and pasting them are the cheapest and least labor-intensive. And, before you paste wallpaper in the hall, you need to choose what exactly will be glued. Beautifully can look even the cheapest paper cloths, if the work is done accurately and without blemishes. However, for cheapness it is not worth pursuing, because there is still such a criterion of choice as durability, and it is inherent only in quality materials. These include vinyl, bamboo, fiberglass, metal, textile and many other wallpapers, and only the last place can include paper, and, of very high quality.
If you do not want to do painting work after pasting walls, metal and fiberglass wallpaper is discarded immediately. Bamboo will look really exotic, but the atmosphere in the room should be appropriate. But vinyl and textile coatings will surely provide a very comfortable atmosphere in the hall, however, like paper ones, among which even washable ones are found. Having dealt with the choice of which wallpaper to glue in the hall, it remains only to decide in which style the finish will be performed. In addition to gluing the walls from the bottom to the top, you can leave the stucco strip on top and bottom, then cover it with a stencil pattern or fresco. Very beautiful will look the walls, pasted with vinyl or textiles framed by a baguette. To do this, leaving a strip on the perimeter of the wall, uncovered by wallpaper, we paste on their border a baguette of plastic, plaster moldings or wooden carved planks.
What wallpaper to paste in the hall - the characteristics of the wallpaper in details
When choosing wallpaper, you should pay attention not only to the material from which they are made, , do not forget to look at the marking, which must be present on the package or on the reverse side of the canvas. On it you can judge which wallpaper to paste in the hall you intend. For example, a wavy strip will tell you that the roll contains a moisture resistant material, two such stripes( parallel) mean that the wallpaper is washable, three are washable especially resistant. From the same series a wavy line with a stylized brush attached from below, such an image will mean that the panels pasted on the wall will have a fair wear resistance and can be cleaned with a brush. Well, three wavy lines with a brush image will make it clear that these are really wonderful wallpapers, durable, especially resistant to cleaning.
However, icons can tell you not only the quality of the material, but also how to paste wallpaper in the hall. In particular, an arrow pointing to a vertical line separated from it by a vertical line will designate that wallpaper can be glued arbitrarily, not paying attention to the picture, they do not have top and bottom. Two arrows pointing at each other and separated by a vertical line - that the pattern is symmetrical, and the same arrows, positioned with respect to each other with displacement, one higher than the other, mean that the pattern on the rolls rolled into rolls is offset. Two vertical arrows that look in opposite directions mean that each next roll should be rotated 180 degrees. There are markings notifying that the glue should be applied to the canvas, or directly to the wall, that the wallpaper is self-adhesive or require a special glue. Interesting marking, which shows a knocking on the vertical line of the hammer, which means that the wallpaper is particularly strong and stand up to certain mechanical influences.
Wallpaper gluing in the hall - fineness of cosmetic repair
Whatever wallpaper you choose, and whatever method you intend to glue them, take into account the moment that wallpapering the wallpaper in the hall must be done extremely accurately. You can afford to make mistakes when decorating a bedroom or an eternally dark corridor, but in a room where you meet guests, this is unacceptable. Therefore, it is necessary to remember some subtleties. So, we glue the wallpaper in the hall, where we are faced with all kinds of difficult areas in the form of central heating radiators and light switch boxes( or switches, depending on the point of view).And the angles should not be overlooked, otherwise you will suffer from them, and the result in the end can turn out somewhat unpleasant. By the way, the preliminary advice - , choose a wallpaper with a small rapport( picture), because the larger it is, and the greater the distance between the patterns, the greater the expense of the wallpaper, because they will have to be adjusted, cutting off unnecessary.
But the wallpaper is spread out, measured, the pattern is the same, the panels are numbered to avoid mistakes in the sequence of their gluing. We start to the right or left of the window opening, moving clockwise or counter-clockwise. Wallpaper gluing in the corner is done so that the canvas passed to the next wall no more than three centimeters. If you get more, cut off the excess, because the unevenness of the walls are always present, and after bending the canvas in the corner, the extra 10 centimeters on the next wall may be very warped or even not glued. Finally we reach the socket or the switch, slightly unscrew the fixing screw to form a gap between the body and the wall, after which we continue pasting the walls. The best option is to put the cloth on the socket or switch, and make two diagonal cuts so that they do not go beyond the edge of the housing of the power supply element. Then gently trim the resulting triangles, leaving a small overlap, which we carefully remove under the body and tighten the fixing screw( the result is as if it were).
Behind the radiator wallpaper can be glued without distortions and bubbles, just using a little trick - we make several vertical incisions, starting just below the top edge of the radiator and right up to the very bottom of the canvas. Now, individual strips are easier to manipulate, and a few extra seams behind the radiator will not be visible.
After completing the pasting of the room above and below the window, you can take a breath and admire the embellished hall, and then, with a sigh, go to finish the next room, or bring furniture if the living room was left at the end.
