Living Room Wall Design

The design of the living room walls should be consistent with the overall style of the room. But to do this is not so simple, because there are various materials and this does not mean at all that it is simple to make repairs. It is necessary that the decoration fits into the overall interior.

Today we will consider how to properly design the living room wall design. What is worth using and how to make various combinations of materials. Also on the video in this article, it is quite possible you will find a ready-made solution.

Materials for decorating the living room

The wall design in the living room should immediately be considered on the basis of the design materials. After all, each of them has its own specifics of installation.

Not every room will fit any material. And although almost everything can be done with your own hands, there will need to be something to consider when choosing the material and the design itself.

Attention: Take into account not only the style of the room, but also take into account the technical specifications. For example, if the wallpaper does not require extra area for fastening and does not increase weight, while the plates will take up useful area. A stone finish will increase the load on the bearing walls.

The design of the living room wall can be determined by several of the most used materials.

Let's look at which one is right for you:

Wallpaper The use of wallpaper in the decoration of the living room	They can be combined, by dividing the room into separate zones or adding variety to the interior. It is allowed to combine wallpapers that are identical in texture or pattern, but differing in color, or canvases of the same key, but with a different pattern. A special position among the entire variety of paintings belongs to the photo wallpaper (seeHow to choose a wallpaper for the living room) This is the highlight of any interior. Under the mural, it is recommended to choose one of the walls that will not be covered by furniture. And in the interior, apply a couple of elements that will be in harmony with the theme of photo wallpaper.
Painting Painting walls in the living room	This is a common option. The accent wall is impressive, visually increasing the space and helping to bring the selected wall closer or closer. Determining the color of the paint, it is recommended to pay attention to the style of the living room and its dimensions, location relative to parts of the world. For a small room, light shades are suitable, for a room with windows facing the south - warm, to the north - cold. So it’s quite possible to design a living room wall design of 18 sq m. Occupy a special place water based paints: quick-drying, odorless, with the possibility of tinting. Glue or silicate paints are also good, but you should not use oil paints.
Decorative plaster Decoration of the hall with decorative plaster	Great for decorating decorative plaster. Outwardly, it is very diverse and depends on the type of composition used. At the end of the finish, an unusual surface is obtained with a tint or slight bulges. In addition to excellent decorative qualities, this material has other advantages: it fits any type of interior, is able to hide the imperfections of the walls, durable and environmentally friendly.
Drywall Drywall decoration	This is not really a finish, but it cannot be called a finish either. This is the ultimate base for fixing many materials. Drywall also allows you to make various niches and transitions. If you are tired of construction work, then the use of drywall is the perfect solution. It smooths the surface well. For a short period and relatively low cost, an unusual architecture is created in the interior - arches (see.How to beautifully finish a plasterboard arch), niches, partitions, on which you can later set the backlight.
Wooden lining Wood paneling	To create an environmentally friendly living room, natural wood is best suited as a decoration material. Lining is made of different tree species. In apartments with low humidity and the same temperature throughout the year, they recommend pine wood with a warm shade and relatively low cost.
MDF panels Decorating the living room with MDF panels	MDF panels are a good replacement for clapboard. These panels perfectly create an imitation of various materials, such as wood and stone. Distinguish between tile, rack and sheet panels. Rack and pinion resemble a lining. The basis is an MDF board, which is either laminated on top or veneered, and in some cases coated with paint.
Laminate The use of laminate in the decoration of the living room	An alternative to MDF panels for living room decor is an ordinary laminate. Preference can be given to any type of laminate, even the simplest one, since its strength, wear resistance and water resistance do not play any role. Laminate flooring makes the finish unusual. Just like MDF panels, the laminate well imitates the texture of stone and wood of any tree.
A rock The use of stone to decorate the living room	The rarest option used for decoration is natural stone. Pleasant in appearance and with a long service life, but at the same time expensive and moody in work. If it comes to its use in decoration, then, as a rule, they mean a stone created artificially. Outwardly, it cannot be distinguished from natural, but it is ideal for a limited budget. In addition, it is lightweight. Manufacturers that have proven themselves to be the best in the manufacture of artificial stone use a large number of parts. For this reason, the same components in the created product are rare. This is what gives the similarity to artificial stone and natural.
Ceramic tile Ceramic tiles in the design of the hall	You can get away from the usual and standard design by using tiles as a finish. When choosing to pay attention to indicators such as resistance to moisture or exposure to harmful chemicals, it is not necessary, since the room is usually low humidity, there are no pollution with fat, which, for example, can not be said about the kitchen or shower.
Wall panels Soft wall panels	If you wish, you can use wall panels. They are usually trimmed with leather or textile. They are great for the interior of the room. Attention: In this case, it is recommended to take only part of the wall under the panel. Ideal would be the use of panels to decorate the relaxation area. The panel consists of plastic, a soundproof layer and an external decorative layer. From above it is corrugated, soft and pleasant to the touch. The use of these panels helps to create a unique look, increase the soundproofing of the room, mask the unevenness of the walls. It is not difficult to carry out installation - the material is easy to use.

Wall decoration with different materials

Using paper wallpaper

The advantages of paper wallpaper include a relatively low cost.

Attention: Please note that they are made of thin material, gluing of which is possible only on level surfaces.

• In addition, the wallpaper has a low resistance to ultraviolet radiation. If the windows of the room are facing south, the canvases will quickly lose their original appearance, the brightness of the colors will go away. A more rational solution is the use of non-woven products.

We use vinyl wallpapers for the living room

Vinyl wallpapers look unusual and fashionable in any living room. Vinyl coatings look like one piece - it’s difficult to make out the joints. Unlike non-woven, they are thinner, but this does not affect their quality. They can even be wiped with a damp sponge. In addition, they are environmentally friendly - bona fide manufacturers do not add toxins to them.

Using fabric wallpaper

Wallpaper made of fabric will fit perfectly into the living room if it is decorated in the Rococo or Baroque style. A large color gamut, the originality of textures, a variety of patterns - these are the distinctive features of these products.

A high degree of protection against wetting, burnout and various contaminants is possible due to the presence of a Teflon layer. The decorative layer is made of silk, velor, felt or polyester.

Attention: It is necessary to pay attention that cloths cannot be washed. Under the influence of moisture, they will lose their original appearance. A vacuum cleaner will help to avoid the accumulation of dust on them.

Using photo wallpaper for the living room

A beautiful and unusual atmosphere in the room can be created through the use of modern photo wallpaper. Sea open spaces, outer space, tropics, megalopolises - any pictures and for every taste. Wall mural - the highlight of the room. They make the interior stylish and unforgettable.

We combine different textures of wallpaper

If you combine wallpapers that differ in texture and color, you can remake the living room beyond recognition. One of the simplest solutions is to paste wallpaper on the walls with borders. However, they are more appropriate to use in high rooms: dividing the wall into parts visually reduces the room. At the same time, the room will become refined and presentable.
