Apartment renovation implies high-quality and original design all existing surfaces in the room. For this purpose, modern materials are used to decorate the walls in the apartment.

Types of finishing materials used in the interior

The options for wall decoration in modern apartment design are quite varied (see Wall decoration with MDF panels).

For this we use:

  • Wallpaper.
  • Decorative plaster.
  • Fake diamond.
  • Ceramics.
  • PVC panels (see Wall decoration with PVC panels).

Wallpaper for interior decoration

Wall decoration and options using wallpaper are very different due to the difference in the material itself (see Wall decoration in the living room).

Currently used:

  • Paper.
  • Non-woven.
  • Vinyl.
  • Textile.
  • Liquid.

All about paper wallpaper, characteristics:

  • This is the most common design option for wall surfaces. They allow air to pass through perfectly. Therefore, you should not use the material in rooms where there is humidity. They are also able to easily absorb moisture. To a greater extent, they perform decorative functions.


  • This material has a large selection of colors and designs. Standard width paper wallpaper is 50 cm. The material is produced in rolls 25-50 m long. Paper wallpaper is very light and is used on its surface different types embossing.

Non-woven wallpaper:

  • This type of wallpaper is a more durable material. It is also produced in rolls, only the width in some cases can reach 1-1.20 m. Non-woven wallpaper is moisture resistant, which makes it very simple and easy to clean.

Advice. The surface of such wallpaper can only be cleaned with a damp cloth and not using abrasives.

Today there are two types of non-woven wallpaper:

  • For painting.
  • Structural.

Vinyl wallpaper


Vinyl wallpapers a fairly common option for wall decoration. They are a paper or non-woven material, protective layer which is polyvinyl chloride.

This type of wallpaper is also moisture resistant and its surface is not capable of absorbing dirt. It is easy to clean with a regular damp cloth. Wallpaper is glued very easily and quickly, as it comes in different sizes.

Quite often you can find embossed elements on the surface, which add originality to the design of the room. Vinyl wallpaper can be silk-screened. There are types of them that have a heavy mass. Due to this, they can be used to level the surface if it has not too deep or large defects.

Textile wallpaper

This type of wallpaper is roll material, the surface of which is fabric. The material is quite dense and durable (see Wall decoration with fabric).

Advice. Textile wallpaper should not be used in rooms where there are different odors and high air humidity, as they absorb unpleasant odors very well.

Textile wallpapers have varied design and types. They stick to the surface quite easily and quickly.

Advice. When using such a finishing material, it is worth considering that the wallpaper is quite dense and to ensure a high-quality finish, glue is applied to the surface of the wall and to the inside of the wallpaper.

Liquid wallpaper

Liquid wallpaper is a new type of finishing coating, which consists of special mixtures and fabric inclusions. This material is sold in dry form, and in order to apply it to the surface there are specific instructions according to which they are diluted.

To install this material you will need:

  • Container for mixing the solution.
  • A construction mixer used to mix the mortar.
  • Two spatulas.
  • Liquid in the sprayer.

The principle of applying such wallpaper is very similar to applying plaster. Everything is done in a similar way, only here it is necessary to apply only one layer. In case of damage to the surface, you need to moisten the area, usually with water, and move it with a spatula, and as a result appearance wallpaper updated.

Wallpapering the surface


The process of gluing the surface is quite simple, and you can do it yourself without the involvement of specialists in this field. The most important thing is to properly and efficiently prepare the surface for such work.

Preparatory work:

  • This finishing material can only be glued to flat surface. It can be leveled with plasterboard or plaster. Drywall is a more practical material, which is mounted on a special profile metal carcass. With plastering there is a larger volume, and the whole process is characterized by a large amount of construction waste and dust.

Advice. If leveling the surface needs to be done very quickly and efficiently, then it is better to use drywall.

Every surface must be treated with a primer solution. If you don’t have it at hand, then use regular wallpaper glue instead, which will be used to carry out the pasting process. It is applied in a small layer to the surface and wait until completely absorbed.

Pasting process

To paste the walls you need to use:

  • Container for mixing adhesive.
  • Tool for mixing the composition (wooden stick).
  • Brushes (1 - for applying glue to the wallpaper, 2 - on the wall surface).
  • Foam rollers for leveling wallpaper on the surface.
  • Dry rags.

Stages of work:

  • Before cutting a roll of wallpaper required size stripes for the surface, you must initially attach the material to the wall and make marks at the top and bottom with a pencil. Using scissors, cut a piece and coat it with glue. The same actions are carried out on the surface of the wall.
  • The strip is applied and begins to be leveled from the very top to the bottom, using rollers and rags. All this is also done with other stripes.

Advice. As a rule, when gluing wallpaper, difficulties often arise with the joints of the material, which are formed as a result of poor-quality coating of the strip. To prevent this from happening, a special paper tape is glued to the surface under each joint, which easily holds the edges of the wallpaper on the surface.

Decorative plaster for wall decoration

Modern wall decoration in an apartment can be done using such an interesting means as decorative plaster. The basic type of plaster has been used for centuries.

Types of decorative plaster:

  • Silicate plaster.
  • Silicone.
  • Acrylic.
  • Mineral.

More details about materials:

  • Silicate plaster is quite strong and durable. It does not absorb dirt and is quite easy to clean with a damp cloth. Before choosing this type of plaster, it is worth considering that it very easily breaks off from the surface if accidentally hit.
  • Silicone plaster is the most practical. It consists of polymer binders. The price is quite high. It is easily applied to the surface due to its elasticity.
  • The most versatile is acrylic plaster. It is used not only in interior but also in exterior work. It can be used in any room with any air humidity and temperature changes. The drying process is very fast, which makes it possible to complete finishing work several times faster.
  • Mineral plaster is not very durable. Especially when the walls are constantly exposed to some kind of vibration. It cracks and falls off the surface very easily and can be used in decorative works Not recommended. This is the cheapest remedy.

Advice. The choice of decorative plaster is based on the surface material and the complexity of the work.

How to apply decorative plaster

Wall decoration modern materials It is distinguished by its simplicity and ease of implementation. All this can be said about decorative plaster. To apply it, you need to prepare the surface.

Surface preparation:

  • Decorative plaster can only be applied to a flat surface, since the purpose of its application is to decorate the room. Drywall, plaster or any other methods are used to level the surface.

Advice. When choosing a material for leveling the surface, it is worth considering that decorative plaster can only be applied to ordinary plaster.

  • Therefore, starting plaster is applied to the surface in several layers (the number of layers depends on the size of defects on the surface), each of which after completely dry processed with sandpaper.
  • After the starting plaster, finishing plaster is applied, which is designed to hide small defects of the first layer. It is applied according to the same principle as the starting one.

For application ordinary plaster you will need:

  • Building level.
  • Construction mesh.
  • Two spatulas of different sizes.
  • Construction mixer for mixing mortar.
  • Container for solution.
  • Sandpaper.

The process of applying decorative plaster

Decorating the surface of a wall using decorative plaster is a fairly simple process (recommended, see Finishing corners in an apartment).

For it you will need:

  • 2 medium spatulas.
  • Sandpaper.
  • Container and construction mixer.

The product is applied in small layers, it all depends on the type of plaster.

Advice. In any case, the first layer on the surface of decorative plaster should be translucent. It will provide the basis for further surface decoration.

The video shows this process from start to finish and there is nothing complicated about it, especially if the surface is well prepared.

The decoration of the walls in the room must meet not only the criteria of beauty, but also be practical. Therefore, appropriate “clothing” is selected for each room in the apartment.

There are many options for finishing and design, and every year there are even more of them. They are becoming more and more diverse, there is plenty to choose from. If for walls in rooms that are intended for relaxation, finishing materials are chosen based more on their appearance and beauty, then for walls in the kitchen, more practical materials that can withstand wet cleaning.

No matter how technically the kitchen is equipped: a powerful hood, dishwasher, steam will still be released during cooking, greasy splashes from the stove, drops of water. In addition, as many people as there are, so many tastes. Everyone wants to decorate the interior of an apartment at their own discretion, so that the design is not similar to any other, and to show their individuality. Wall cladding can be very diverse, and there are no strict rules in this matter.

Ceramic tile

Man gluing tiles to the wall

Traditionally, tiles are laid in rooms where increased demands are placed on the walls for wear resistance, moisture resistance, and easy cleaning. These are bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, industrial premises.

The tile perfectly withstands almost any load; it can be used both in the middle of rooms and outside. There are tiles for walls and floors. You can safely install a heated floor system under the floor tiles.

The variety of shapes and colors allows you to choose ceramic tiles for any interior. Tile manufacturers produce the material in whole series that have a common design.

For example, several options for wall tiles and floor tiles in the same color scheme, but with different textures and patterns. In addition to them, decorative elements are also produced, various strips, tiles with a pattern, which also have the same color scheme. But the choice should be approached carefully and carefully. This material is not so easy to take and change. Wall covering ceramic tiles- “dirty” work, only an experienced craftsman can do it.

Laying tiles

Before laying the wall, you need to mark it with a pencil to find out the location of the tiles. For guidance and foundation, under the first row of the inlet you need to glue a strip or plaster beacon(they should be leveled).

A layer of glue is applied to the base with a notched trowel-comb. The tile is carefully applied to the surface and pressed. Before gluing, the product should be moistened with water. To level the tiles use rubber hammer, which will not damage the outer layer of the tile. For correction during installation, you can use special plastic wedges. Each row must be checked with a level.

Tip: To ensure that the seams between all tiles are the same, use plastic crosses. They are different sizes: The thicker the cross, the wider the seam will be.

Grouting joints

After the tile is glued, it should be given time to dry and adhere to the surface. After this, you can start grouting. Grout is dry decorative mixture, which is needed for decorative finishing seams. It is produced in various colors. It is convenient to rub the seams with a special rubber spatula. Excess grout mixture must be removed immediately with a wet cloth.

Watch the video for the process described above.


We use stone

Wall covering artificial stone or natural is quite popular today. The procedure for working with stone is approximately the same as when laying tiles. The only difference is that the stone is more heavy material, therefore, to glue it, you should choose the appropriate glue.

Combination of fireplace and stone in the interior

In addition, if the pieces of stone are large, it is difficult to simply glue them to the surface. Therefore, if the stone plates are large, then under each plate, from below, in order to ensure the stability of the material, small pegs are driven in, on which the stone tile will rest.

Stone in Lately is becoming an increasingly popular finishing material, but most often it is used in combination with other materials. For example, decorative stone islands are glued to a putty wall, while simultaneously framing the door and window openings with stone. Or in conjunction with wooden surface corners and parts are trimmed with stone working wall in the kitchen. It is also used for finishing building facades, decorative fences, gazebos, fountains.

You can see the stone finishing in the video below.


Plasterboard finishing

Wall cladding with plasterboard is used in the decoration of premises of any type. The popularity is explained by the fact that such sheets are convenient and easy to level any surface.

A man attaches sheets of drywall to the wall

The material is simple and moisture resistant. Moisture-resistant boards are used in rooms where there is high humidity, in bathrooms and kitchens. Plasterboard boards can be used for walls or ceilings. Gypsum fiber materials are used for the floor. Ceiling material thinner and lighter, wall slabs are thicker.

To design or install a rounded surface, there is a special “arched” material that can be bent.

There are two ways to install plasterboard boards:

  1. On the frame. In this case, a metal or wooden frame is first installed. Special metal profiles for constructing such frames are available for sale. They come in different sizes. For ceiling structure They use thinner profiles; for walls they are wider and thicker. Before installing the structure, the walls, if they do not have significant damage, do not need to be specially prepared. The main thing is to align the frame evenly. Then the sheets are screwed to the frame using self-tapping screws. If you plan to strengthen wall cabinets on the wall, then during installation of the frame in the places where the cabinets will be attached, you should additionally install metal or wooden slats. Furniture should then be hung on these slats.
  2. On glue solution. The technology for wall cladding in this case is as follows: special adhesive for plasterboard is applied pointwise to the wall. Popularly, this method is also called “gluing on bloopers.” Plasterboard sheets are glued to the solution and pressed. Each sheet is checked for evenness with a level.

The drywall can then be puttied and painted; you can glue wallpaper, tiles, and stone onto it. Various textured plaster can be applied to a plasterboard wall.

In general, such a surface most often serves as a base for subsequent decorative finishing. In the space between the base and the plasterboard, you can hide communication networks (pipes, electrics).

Installing drywall on walls is not too difficult. See for yourself.


Variety of panels

Wall cladding with panels - this method of finishing walls is similar in installation method to laying drywall. No careful preparation of the walls is required; the panels can be installed on the frame.

The difference is that drywall is used as a material to level the walls. After this, the drywall should still be finished with other decorative materials. The panels initially have external finishing and design. You just need to install them.

Variety of MDF panels

But the price of such material is much higher than the cost of drywall. Decorative panels can be made from various materials– wood, fiberboard, MDF, plywood, plastic, glass, including mirror.

The surface of the panels can be matte or glossy, wood-like or imitation of another structure. The panels, depending on their strength characteristics, can be installed in almost any room. Available for sale for designing corners, transitions, and joints. whole line additional structural elements. Sheets can usually be easily cut to obtain the desired dimensions.

Wall decoration with ceramic tiles.


Characteristics of tiles.

To carry out such facing works will be needed following materials and tools:

  • actual ceramic tiles;
  • special glue;
  • alabaster;
  • grout for seams;
  • plastic dividers;
  • spatulas;
  • building level;
  • rubber hammer;
  • ruler, tape measure;

  • rail;
  • tile cutter;
  • sponges;
  • water containers;
  • water;
  • glue container;
  • wide brush.

Exist various ways laying ceramic tiles, the main ones are:

  • staggered, when the seam of the tiles of the next row is located strictly in the middle of the previous one;
  • a seam into a seam is the simplest method, in which all the tiles are exactly underneath each other;
  • diagonally - a labor-intensive installation method in which the angle of the seam line relative to the wall and the floor is 45°;
  • modular mesh is a complex installation method that requires careful calculation and design of the pattern.

Having decided which installation method will be used, it is necessary to use nails, cord and other measuring instruments mark the wall surface. Beacon tiles attached to alabaster in the corners of the wall can serve as guidelines for further work. Subsequently, after performing their functions, these tiles are re-glued with glue.

Before starting tiling work, ceramic tiles are inspected, sorted and counted. If necessary, a tile cutter is used to prepare incomplete tile blanks.

To obtain a distance from the floor, a strip is installed before laying the first row of ceramic tiles. Further orientation of actions is carried out on it. Ceramic tiles are laid from bottom to top.

Use a damp sponge to wipe the bottom of the tile. Apply it on it with a regular spatula, and then level it with a notched trowel. required amount special glue. After this, the tile is pressed tightly against the wall with your hand and lightly tapped with a rubber hammer. It is best to lay the first row from the middle and focus on the beacon tiles. To adjust the thickness of the seam, plastic dividers are installed between the tiles, which are then removed.

The last stage of facing work is treating the seams with a special grout.

Interior decoration of the room with wall panels.

The house is built, and all that seems to be left is to complete the interior decoration and the furniture can be brought in. But to order correct finishing, you need to know the rules for combining and using basic materials.

Basic finishing rules

Despite the fact that the stage itself finishing works comes at the end of construction, plan what materials will be used for the interior decoration of the walls of the house, and in what capacity, preferably from the very beginning. In addition, we must take into account that the department itself is divided into start and finish. This means that even before choosing, for example, wallpaper, you will need to finish the walls with sheets of plasterboard or putty. The first method is called “dry”, the second – “wet” (because the putty requires working with water). In any case, they are produced preliminary work:

    The walls are first removed as much as possible unnecessary elements(screws, extra guides), the rust is burned off, old elements (if any) are also removed;

    Walls degreased and are processed additionally if necessary (for example, impregnated with a fire-resistant compound or treated against fungus).

Which method to choose depends on the availability of time and money. “Dry” will also require plaster, which will be applied over the drywall, but rather in one layer.

At a minimum, you will have to putty the joints between the sheets of drywall and the recesses left by the screws Source papamaster.su

By the way, when finishing dry it is not necessary to use drywall - it can be sheets of MDF or other smooth material. “Wet” is initially not applicable in a number of cases - for example, a house made of foam blocks.

Important nuances when choosing finishing material

Good to have for final finishing ready-made design project. If there is none, then it will be more difficult to figure out how many materials are needed and what can replace them if necessary. For example:

    If you live indoors all year round, then it is better not to choose MDF panels and plastic. Despite the high class of these materials in current production, they are still not among the most fire-resistant and environmentally friendly.

    It is best to pay attention also to material class– any package will be marked with the letter “E” and a number. Everything that does not have a value equal to “1” refers to materials not for residential premises (“E3” is not used at all in a residential building).

    Do not apply under any circumstances products for external cladding inside houses (this is not only impractical, but also harmful).

    For foam block construction option plasterboard finishing from within - the only correct one.

    Under certain conditions (unpretentiousness, first of all), it is possible the same material finish the ceiling, floor and walls at once. At the same time, it is worth knowing that slatted materials are best suited for such use; you can immediately finish the wall and ceiling with them, but tiles, for example, for the floor and wall should have different densities and abrasion resistance.

    Thermal insulation, treatment against fungus, moisture and mold perform until direct finishing of the internal walls of the house, regardless of the characteristics of the laid material that will go on top.

    Materials for finishing walls inside the house, such as wallpaper, tiles or paint, will require careful initial preparation and alignment of the walls. If this is not possible, it is better to turn your attention to sheet materials.

    When choosing a putty, it is worth assessing not only the work, but also the approximate drying time all required layers (application will most likely require more than one pass).

    For use in damp areas(for example, a bathroom) you should not use the same options as in residential ones. There are higher requirements here.

Behind the beauty of the bathroom lies a fairly thick protective “pie” Source dizayn.top

    For those rooms where daily use is expected, associated with mechanical contamination (for example, a kitchen or hallway), it is better to think in advance about the issue of additional cleaning of the surface. You should not choose finishes with patterns or corrugations. Most likely, it will look very nice, but will be difficult to clean.

    Wood coverings will require a room with stable humidity and temperature levels all year round.

Types of finishing materials

The materials themselves for decorating walls inside the house have the following general classification:

    Rack and pinion(all kinds of lining, cutting boards, PVC and MDF panels) - convenient and inexpensive option to quickly close large area. Cleans well and is easy to repair. There is only one minus here - wooden lining demanding on temperature and humidity, and plastic parts are not as environmentally friendly as we would like;

    Varied covering(textile, vinyl or linoleum) - wash well, are practical and quite durable, and are not as expensive as panels or panels. The downside is the need to combine with other types, since textiles, for example, collect dust and moisture well, while vinyl and linoleum will not allow the surface to “breathe” when pasted. Both options are not suitable for the bathroom or kitchen;

    Rolled polymer(wallpaper) - a method in which it is possible to imitate almost any surface. Unpretentious wallpapers with a wide choice of designs have long since occupied their niche on the market - and if you have to choose between ordinary or cork or bamboo, it is better (albeit less profitable) to choose the latter option. The most inexpensive paper version, Besides, paper wallpaper They do not block the air exchange for the wall, which is very convenient in rooms with low levels of natural light or less than ideal humidity levels. This also includes silk and textile wallpaper, velor, as well as photo wallpapers that make up the picture. Disadvantages - if they are not paintable, it will not be possible to repair a separate area, you will have to re-glue everything;

    Paint and varnish coatings(acrylic, silicate or silicone paints) - there are a lot of advantages here. To begin with, the paint easily repels dust, washes well, has long term service (more than 10 years), and can be used on any type of base. But - it requires almost perfect alignment, otherwise any roughness will be noticeable immediately;

    Plaster(including decorative) - very demanding on the hands of the master. They can be completely different - relief, Venetian, mineral or structural, simple smooth, textured. They can create any wall effect, and they can be applied even to a not very well leveled area. From nice bonuses– plaster usually increases the sound insulation of a room and slightly insulates it. Such decoration of walls in a house requires additional specifications and a lot of experience, so it may not be entirely budget-friendly;

    Slab(natural and artificial stone and brick, tiles themselves) – convenient option, but will require the involvement of qualified labor and preliminary layout of the pattern; in addition, the tiles not on walls or floors will be quite fragile, so it is not worth storing them for a long time. Covering the entire room with stone would also not be very appropriate; designers advise using the coating only for small areas of the room;

    Leafy materials for cladding walls inside the house (this includes, for example, cladding panels for interior decoration, usually having dimensions on one side of no more than 1 m, made from wood or plastic) - easy to use, reliable, hide wiring or communications inside, and install they can be done in an extremely short time frame. The only disadvantage here is the same as in the case of using rack structures - plastic is not always optimal, and wooden panels for finishing – the most expensive thing on the market;
