Wallpapers on the ceiling are back in fashion

One of the most important elements of any residentialthe room is the ceiling. It is on the quality of its finish that the general idea of ​​the repair work performed depends to a great extent. So, if it is possible to cover furniture flaws on the floor and walls, then the ceiling is always in sight.

Until recently, especially popularused the kind of finish, in which as a ceiling coating used painting with a water-based dye. With the proper skill of the master, it turned out perfectly smooth white (or any other shade) surface. And the wallpaper on the ceiling was considered "yesterday's day", although the adherents of this method of finishing still remained.

New old

As is known, fashion develops in a spiral: something that was once popular, and then safely forgotten, through time is again in demand. Wallpapers on the ceiling - this is a vivid example of this. Although, of course, there were various variations. For example, wallpaper for a nursery and other rooms now do not necessarily have to be made of plain paper - progress has suggested new materials with very interesting properties. But about this a little later. First it is worth considering the issue of choice.

Width

Although the web has quite a lot of information on the theme "wallpaper on the ceiling", it is not always possible to find an answer to an interesting question in this area.

As is known, there are several standard sizesrolls. The unspoken standard is 10 m long and 0.5 m wide, although there are others. Wallpapers on the ceiling should be glued neatly, so as not to focus on the repair technique, but on a design idea. This can be achieved, in particular, by reducing the number of joints between the strips. Therefore, it is recommended to choose models with meter-wide roll width. The same rule applies to walls.

Volume and plane

The next point, which must be taken into account,is a texture. So, the wallpaper for the living room and other rooms can be flat (the picture is simply applied to the material) and embossed (embossed). In the latter case, all the lines seem to be squeezed out, they can be probed.

Choosing this option, you can not only getmore interesting form, but also to achieve some savings on the surface preparation, since there is no need for an ideal alignment - the volume structure partially conceals shortcomings (for example, after shpatlevaniya too careful grout is not needed).

Material

Now the market offers a fairly rich choicedifferent versions of wallpaper on any wallet. The simplest are the paper varieties. They are familiar with everything. For the ceiling is quite acceptable. Affordable cost, a wide range of patterns, time-tested quality are just some of their advantages. Nevertheless, by performing the wallpapering on the ceiling, you can choose other options.

When choosing it is worth paying attention to the basis. It can be paper or non-woven fabric. The latter has a remarkable property that can not be overemphasized - it can stretch a little, thereby not bursting if cracks appear on the surface. This option is recommended to use in private homes, where microcracks are not uncommon. If the ceiling is not reliable enough (old plaster), you can use a roll of mounting fleece, painted it with water-based paint.

The top layer of wallpaper is now often made of vinyl. This material is a derivative of polyvinyl chloride, which explains the high performance characteristics of the rolls.
