Wallpaper murals in the interior

People decorated the walls with frescoes in Antiquity. Over time, technologies have changed and now wallpaper-frescoes are a wonderful option for any interior, available to everyone. They are used not only by the owners of private houses and apartments. It is a perfect decoration for restaurants and cafes.

Wallpaper murals are easy to stick to the walls. They look aesthetically pleasing. In this case, you can order your own theme and drawing. All this will be printed out and will bring a lot of positive emotions.

The fresco is versatile. It can be successfully applied in the interior of any room: kitchen, living room, bedroom, hallway. Often the canvas is given the appearance of an old picture, due to which this type of decor looks spectacular.

Depending on the subject of the drawing, the fresco can visually expand the boundaries of the room, make it more spacious. You can choose a drawing in such a way that the room looks luxurious.

Not only walls are decorated with frescoes. It looks great on the ceiling, in niches. Often, a drawing can smoothly transition from wall to ceiling.

Common subjects of frescoes: voluminous flowers, landscapes, ancient castles, reservoirs, steps, old streets. In this case, the canvas does not have to be of the correct shape. The fresco looks very interesting, in which the edges seem to be broken off, and individual parts are placed at some distance from each other. There is a feeling that we have before us an ancient work on which time has left its merciless imprint.

Bas-relief frescoes have a convex surface, which creates additional volume. Masonry, tree bark, leaves - all this looks very realistic and gives the design a special "zest", focusing on itself.

Depending on the method of application on the wall, the following types of fresco wallpaper are distinguished:

• Wall painting. Carried out on wet plaster. The technology is closest to the decoration of walls in the Middle Ages. In its completed form, such an element of decor looks like a single monolith, fused with the wall. The process is quite laborious and expensive. If you want to decorate the wall in this way, you will need the participation of a specialist.
• Painting on canvas. Such a fresco is as similar as possible to a medieval painting thanks to the use of the aging technique. The wax coating will keep the painting in perfect condition for a long time. Plus, it provides ease and ease of maintenance. From time to time, it will be enough to simply brush off the dust with a dry cloth.

• Self-adhesive. They resemble wall murals. This is the most affordable way that anyone can afford. In order for this type of decor to look good in the interior, it is necessary to align the walls and make them absolutely smooth.
• Non-woven base. Printing displays the image on sheets. The panel is glued directly to the wall using a universal glue. The most common themes are Paris, Venice.
• On a solid foundation. This is one of the most expensive forms of decor. The fresco is applied to a solid workpiece covered with special plaster. The element created in this way is inserted into the wall. Such a product is quite heavy, therefore, as a rule, it does not differ in impressive dimensions. It can be used with or without a frame.

The drawing looks more impressive if the texture is inherent in the surface:

• In a small room, a dull fresco of pastel colors will look advantageous, on the surface of which a wide brush seems to have left a mark.This texture is called Penello.
• Antica gold and Antica silver combine gold and silver blotches and the effect of antiquity. Such a fresco will make the interior stylish and sophisticated.
• Old engraving imitates texture Muro antica.

• Luce - rough surface. The degree of its relief is indicated by the following parameters: semplise (the lightest option), media (medium roughness), grande (maximum relief).
• Strong and strong-willed natures can afford texture Marsel relievo... She, very opportunely, will emphasize this feature of the character of the owner of the apartment.

Despite the fact that the fresco is personified from Antiquity and the Middle Ages, it is appropriate in the interior of almost any style due to the variety of patterns. Therefore, choosing the right option will not be difficult.

Abstract drawings will perfectly emphasize the interior of the room, created in the Art Nouveau style. Black and white colors will also be appropriate.

Eastern minimalism and fresco with hieroglyphs are a good combination.

Faces, masks - all this is perfect for high-tech style. Monochrome frescoes look especially colorful.

Frescoes with images of ancient castles and landscapes will help you to feel all the mystery of the Gothic style. This is ideal for a living room. Complement the interior with heavy curtains, antique furniture and more.

The luxury and pomp of Rococo will be emphasized by canvases with monograms and pearls.

When choosing a fresco wallpaper, pay attention to the purpose of the room and its size. This parameter is no less important than the interior style. In large rooms, you can use wallpaper with a large pattern, which is unacceptable in small rooms. For them, it is better to choose wallpaper that visually increase its space, for example, tunnels, corridors.

For a children's room, choose a drawing that is understandable by the subject for the smallest members of your family.

For the bedroom, choose a panel made in soft pastel colors. Marine and romantic themes are also appropriate. The canvas should tune in to rest and relaxation.

A fresco for the kitchen should be practical, resistant to moisture and temperature extremes.

The fresco is glued only to a flat and smooth wall, pre-treated with a primer. This ensures the maximum degree of adhesion between the canvas and the wall. Do not use a dark colored primer. It can distort light colors on the wallpaper.

The sheets of the canvas are hermetically packed. After breaking the integrity of the package, the shelf life should not exceed five days. During this period, the wallpaper must be glued to the wall.

Before you start gluing, you need to do the markings. This requires a building level.

If the room is humid, you need to treat the wall with a special solution that will prevent mold from forming. This will help keep the decor flawless.

The glue is applied in a thin layer both to the wall and to the canvas itself.

Draft is the enemy of the pasting process. Therefore, it is important to carry out the procedure with closed windows and doors. Otherwise, all the work will be ruined: in 1-2 days the canvas will move away from the wall.

Use a roller to smooth the surface of the pasted mural sheet. It will smooth and remove bubbles.
