WHAT TO CHOOSE FOR WALL FINISHING IN AN APARTMENT? PART 1
Wall in the apartment
The wall in the apartment serves many functions. Structural walls support the roof and ceilings and maintain the stability of the entire building. Interior walls usually divide the apartment into individual rooms, such as the living room, bedroom, and kitchen. The wall is also an element where you can place furniture, shelves, pictures, and other decorations that give the apartment character and comfort, and when finished thoughtfully, it can successfully serve a decorative function itself. If you currently have no ideas for finishing these vertical elements, below I have listed the options you can consider. We will start with the most common and finish with more unique solutions.
Types of walls in the apartment (finishing materials)
PLASTER, SMOOTHING COMPOUND, PAINT
That is the classic. It should be remembered that the choice of paint color for the walls should be tailored to individual preferences and the style of the interior. It is also important to properly prepare the walls before painting to ensure a durable and even final effect.
TILES
You can achieve an interesting and original interior with the help of tiles. The material that we usually use in the bathroom or kitchen can also create an interesting effect when used on the wall, for example, in the living room.
BRICK WALL
That is specific brick tiles - a quite popular solution. Often, not all, but only one or a few walls are finished as brick. They are durable and easy to maintain. They can be used in both dry and wet rooms, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Brick tiles can come in various sizes and shapes and can also be covered with glaze or other decorative layers.
WALLPAPER OR MURAL
These are popular options for finishing walls inside buildings. Wallpaper is made of paper or another material that is glued to the wall with adhesive. A mural is a wallpaper with printed graphics or a photo on it. Wallpapers and murals can come in various patterns and colors, allowing them to be tailored to individual preferences and the style of the interior. Wallpapers and murals can be made from different materials, including paper, vinyl, fabric, and foil.
VENEER PANELS
They look like solid wood but are definitely cheaper. Only the top layer is made of wood. In addition to natural veneer, which retains the natural grain pattern, there is also modified veneer - during the processing, all imperfections of the wood are removed from the veneer sheets. As a result, the panels have a nice, uniform color and regular pattern. Veneer panels for the wall in the living room can be protected with oil or varnish, smooth or grooved, matte, semi-matte, satin, or high-gloss varnished.
