Rules for choosing wallpaper for decorative plaster

Before choosing and buying a material, it is worth considering the characteristics of the room and thinking about the desired result. By comparing all the nuances, you can get a room that is harmonious in all respects.

• Embossed wallpaper is best used in places where external contact with them is minimized;
• When choosing a material, it is worth considering their desired service life, since paper canvases will last about years, a fiberglass-based coating will last up to 30 years;
• Color and pattern can visually change the area of ​​the room. Dark tones and large patterns reduce the room, light color and small patterns, on the contrary, expand the boundaries;
• Plaster wallpaper goes well with other finishing materials, such as brickwork, stone or other wallpaper;
• Given the wide variety of colors and textures, the stylistic features of the interior should be taken into account before choosing. For example, Venetian plaster will look out of place in a Scandinavian style, and imitation under a rough plastered wall will not work for classic designs.
