Design of apartments with photo wallpapers
Photo wall-papers is one of ways to transform apartment design. They are glued in the bedroom, living room, corridor. There are also self-adhesive wallpapers that are popular when decorating a bathroom and kitchen.
If we talk about the type of wallpaper for apartments, then they are: panoramic, background, stylistic. Panoramic covers show doors or windows overlooking the sea, terraces, woods. On the background - a certain abstraction or drawing. Stylistic ones are executed in a certain style( "country", "retro", etc.).
For the living room, abstract drawings, that is background wallpapers, are good. Photo walls in the corridor can be with the image of long streets and bridges( visually lengthen the space).In children's rooms will be very handy wallpapers with animated characters.
It is also worth noting that these coatings can be both fabric and paper based. The first are more dense and resistant to various external factors. However, the apartment is successfully used, and those and others.
Photo wall size
Wall-papers consist of different number of panels: two, three, four, six or eight. Each panel in turn has its own size. If the number of panels is two, the size is 86x200, 190x135cm. If three are 291x135, 287x135, 295x135, if four is 368x127, 183x254, 190x270 and so on. The more panels, the larger the size of each.
It should be noted that there is a size of 0.97 cm x 2.2 m, which is ideal for doors( more often on self-adhesive paper).Such a cloth will completely cover its surface. When you need to create a panoramic composition on the wall, this is done by buying an additional set of wallpaper of the same brand and the same size.
How to paste wallpaper?
In addition to aesthetic function, photo wallpapers perform a number of practical. For example, if they are made on self-adhesive paper, they can easily be washed, and they will be useful in places prone to severe pollution( in the corridor, in the kitchen, in the bathroom).Plus, they practically do not burn out and retain their original appearance for a long time.
After you have chosen the type of wallpaper, the most common question is how to glue them? To do this, you must follow a certain methodology, and you will need a number of mandatory tools.
Used tools: spatula, tape measure, bucket, glue, brush, office knife, pencil, level. Surface is cleaned of old coating and any contaminants. Panels of a set of photo wallpapers are laid out on an equal place for combining the picture. A level and a pencil make marks on the wall. It is on these marks will be applied to the canvas.
The adhesive is diluted according to the instructions. In any case, the mixture should not be lumps. Then alternately begin to put it on each panel and glue to the wall. All panels must be strictly adhered to the lines previously marked on the surface. At the final stage, wipe off the glue residues from the outside of the coating. At the same time use a damp cloth.
If you give an example, then you can compare the process of drawing with the game "Tic-Tac-Toe."First you draw a rectangle on the wall. Inside the rectangle are squares equal to the size of the modules. Next, alternately glue each module( as a puzzle).At the final stage, the surface is smoothed and given a certain time for drying( most often it is indicated on the package).
