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 typically 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 if finished creatively, it can successfully serve a decorative function on its own. If you currently have no idea how to finish these vertical elements, below I have listed the options you can consider. We will start with the most common ones and end with more unique solutions.
Types of walls in the apartment (finishing materials)
PLASTER, SMOOTHING, PAINT
This is the classic option. It is important to remember that the choice of wall paint color should be tailored to individual preferences and the style of the interior. It is also crucial 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 applied to the wall, for example, in the living room.
BRICK WALL
This refers to specific brick tiles - a fairly 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 coated 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 film.
VENEER PANELS
They look like solid wood, but they 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 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 on the wall in the living room can be finished with oil or varnish, smooth or grooved, matte, satin, or high-gloss varnished.
