Design and patterns
Venetian wallpapers are available in different textures, which makes it possible to choose a more suitable surface for a particular style.

Provence
The elegant at the same time simple style of Provence is achieved by elements of white or beige, complementing the Venetian style.

How to paint?
One of the advantages of plaster wallpaper is that it is durable. But this scares many people - they are not attracted by the prospect of observing the same design for a long time. In fact, such a coating can be painted. This makes it possible to vary the style to suit your preferences and fashion trends. Only latex paint is suitable for painting. You need to paint a Venetian like this:
- Pour paint into the pallet.
- Place the roller in the paint.
- When taking out the roller, it is necessary to allow excess paint to drain.
- Apply to walls covering as much surface as possible. It is necessary to scroll the roller several times, pulling the paint along the walls.
- It is important to ensure that there are no bald patches.
- Finally, roll over the painted walls again.
How to glue the Venetian wallpaper?
The gluing process depends on the substrate. But in general, it is similar:
- First, you need to level the surface of the walls as much as possible. For minor defects, they are putty, for large irregularities, plaster or drywall is applied.
- The walls need to be primed.
- Wallpaper is cut into stripes. In this case, it is important to observe allowances. The upper allowance is 1.5 cm, the lower one is 3 cm.
- With the help of a plumb line, a landmark is outlined.
- In a special container, the glue is diluted in accordance with the instructions on the package.
- Apply the glue to the wall with a roller or wide brush. If the base is paper, then it is necessary to glue the strip itself. Vinyl Venetian does not require this.
- Apply the first strip exactly along the plumb line. Begin to apply the strip from above.
- Use a spatula to remove all bubbles from top to bottom, and do the same from the center outward.
- The second strip is glued end-to-end with the first. You need to walk along the joint line with a dry roller.
