Wallpaper under a stone in the interior

Nowadays, a home can be designed as you please, and for this it is not at all necessary to buy expensive materials of noble origin. Stone wall decoration looks very presentable and aesthetically pleasing in many interiors. Modern consumers can replace expensive natural material with similar attractive wallpaper. Today we will talk about them.

Wallpaper imitating stone can hardly be called a novelty on the building materials market, since such canvases were popular in the Soviet Union. Since then, of course, the technology for making such wallpapers has changed a lot and modernized, from which their relevance has only increased.

In terms of their structure, these materials do not differ from traditional coatings. They have the same composition, and even the nuances of their gluing are similar to traditional wallpaper. Their main difference is their appearance, which exhibits beautiful stonework. Some canvases also have a similar texture, which makes them even more spectacular.

The realism of these excellent materials for interior wall decoration is achieved by unusual painting of the canvases in several layers with various paint and varnish coatings, which, in a common union, give diverse shades. Wallpaper looks no less interesting and attractive, in the creation of which non-standard technologies for applying paints are used. These materials are a little less common, but they look more original and elegant.

The most common are paper and moisture-resistant stone-like wallpapers. They can decorate not only the hallway, living room or bedroom, but also a bathroom or kitchen.

These shortcomings lead to the fact that the attractive appearance of imitation stone loses its charm and ceases to decorate the room.

Of course, in addition to paper canvases, there are many other options on the finishing materials market. These can be non-woven or vinyl copies. They are more expensive than paper ones, but they last much longer and look no worse.

Fashionable wallpaper imitating stone has a number of important advantages for which many consumers choose them.

Let's consider them in more detail.

• First of all, the wonderful design of such canvases should be highlighted. With their help, you can transform the interior and add zest to it. Wallpaper imitation stone can be glued on all walls in a room or only on one, forming an attractive accent detail;
• Such wallpapers are not very expensive, since their basis is similar to simple canvases;
• For wall decoration with such materials, it is not at all necessary to attract specialists and spend extra money. It is quite possible to cope with such work on your own;

• It is worth noting that with the help of "stone" wallpaper, you can make a variety of compositions on the walls. Thus, it will be possible to radically change the layout and proportions of the room;
• Many consumers choose wallpaper imitation stone, rather than artificial or natural masonry, as they are much easier to remove from the walls during the plywood process. Removing the masonry will be more difficult and longer;
• Wallpaper for stone, as a rule, has an optimal width, due to which rough and sloppy joints will not be visible on the surface of the walls when combined with other wall coverings. For example, it can be moldings or curbs;
• In addition, the range of these finishing materials today is greater than ever. This suggests that you can choose the perfect option for every taste, style and, of course, budget.

Fashionable and attractive wallpaper imitating stone is represented today by the widest assortment.

Consider the most relevant and demanded varieties of these finishing materials.

• Paper. These classic wallpapers are inexpensive and eco-friendly as they are made from pure cellulose. On such canvases can be found almost any pattern, be it a rocky pattern or a spectacular wild stone. However, paper wallpapers are not durable. They also cannot be washed. The only exceptions are canvases with a special impregnation. Such options will last longer, and they can be washed, but they will also cost more;
• Vinyl. Such wallpaper options are very popular today, as they are inexpensive and unpretentious to use. Before pasting them, you do not need to prepare the surface of the walls for a long time and scrupulously. This is due to the fact that, for example, foamed vinyl easily hides any defects and irregularities on the partitions. In addition, vinyl canvases perfectly imitate the relief of a stone. Under conditions of careful use, such wallpapers serve for a very long time and are easy to clean;

• Fiberglass. Such wallpapers have appeared quite recently and are a novelty in the building materials market. These canvases are made of glass, which forms special fibers, combined into yarn. After that, the canvas is woven directly from it;
• Photo wallpaper. The image of the stone on the surface of these wallpapers is as close as possible to real materials. However, such products have all the disadvantages inherent in paper versions. They do not differ in durability and wear resistance. They are easily damaged and are not embossed. Wall murals on a woven basis (for example, tapestry) look more interesting. There are also self-adhesive sheets that can be easily and quickly re-glued without harming the material;

• Non-woven. Such canvases have appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, but have already gained enormous popularity. The relevance of such materials is due to their attractive appearance, excellent performance and easy pasting. What's more, this wallpaper can be recoloured up to 5 times;
• Acrylic. Wallpaper with an acrylic coating imitating a natural material boasts strength, durability and excellent breathability, which protects the material from the formation of mildew and mildew. They do not require special care and are inexpensive;
• Plaster. Such finishing materials are more reminiscent of embossed gypsum panels with a beautiful texture, glued to a perfectly flat wall surface. Plaster canvases today are represented by a huge assortment. They are easy to process, so in stores you can find options with a variety of "stone" prints of all possible shades;
• Flexible. Such canvases are also a novelty on the Russian market. They are a great alternative to heavy and expensive stone. Such materials are produced using a special technology using sandstone (a little less often - gypsum) applied to a woven base. After that, the surface of the canvas is painted. Colors can be absolutely any.

Currently, spectacular stone-like wallpapers are made in a variety of colors. With their help, you can decorate both the entire area of ​​the walls, and a certain partition or even a small section of it.

The most popular colors for stylish stone wallpaper are as follows.

• All shades of brown, from light caramel to dark chocolate;
• Neutral gray;
• Golden tint of the stone;
• A snow-white shade, diluted with pale gray paints;
• Monochromatic beige or diluted with more saturated "stones" of red and pale brown color;
• Shade of coffee with milk;
• Luxurious marble color with black splashes.

Often, one canvas combines several similar shades at once. Such materials look especially lively and interesting. However, monochromatic options look no less stylish and rich in the interior.

If you are choosing wallpaper for a stone for pasting only on one wall or on a certain part of it, then it is better not to give preference to monochromatic options of the same color as the rest of the surfaces. For example, against the background of snow-white floors, the same light "stones" will simply dissolve.

It is better to choose a canvas that differs from the main finish by a couple of tones or even contrasts with it.

Many brands offer beautiful and high-quality stone-like wallpapers today.

Consider several popular manufacturers that produce canvases that are in great demand.

The products of this Russian company can boast of a huge assortment of finishing materials of various price categories;
• TPK "Flexible Stone". This is another popular Russian manufacturer that produces inexpensive but very beautiful stone-like wallpaper. The assortment of TPK "Flexible Stone" is very diverse and is represented by canvases of various shades and textures. In addition, a good discount is provided for many finishing materials, which makes the products of this company even more popular;

• RStones. This company is a Russian manufacturer of decorative artificial stone and beautiful wallpaper imitating stone. Canvases from RStones are environmentally friendly, lightweight, moisture-resistant and perfect for a wide variety of interior styles;

The selection of wallpaper for a stone should be approached responsibly so as not to be disappointed in the perfect purchase.

To do this, you need to rely on the following criteria.

• Performance. The correct choice of this or that type of wallpaper should depend on the specific room in which you want to paste it. For example, paper canvases are not recommended to be glued in rooms with high humidity or in places where they can be easily damaged. For such premises, it is better to choose non-woven or acrylic options;
• Colour. Wallpaper should look harmonious in the interior. To do this, you must responsibly approach the selection of their colors. Depending on the setting, they can either contrast with the rest of the elements, or be combined with them in shade. It all depends on the personal preferences of the owners and the style of the interior;

• Manufacturer. Contact only well-known and popular firms that produce stone-like wallpaper, so as not to come across a short-lived and unreliable product;
• Price. Too cheap canvases should raise your doubts, with the exception of simple paper options. A suspiciously low price may indicate poor product quality.

It is advisable to glue textured and dark stone wallpaper with a relief surface in spacious rooms and dilute them with light tones. For example, in a long corridor, only one wall can be pasted over with such materials, and the floor opposite can be finished with cream plaster.

Beige stone canvases will become a bright accent to a dark coffee room with a light glossy floor and the same light furniture.

"Stone" wallpaper can be used to decorate the space around the entrance doors or arches in the room. For example, against the background of a corridor decorated with pastel colors, a doorway decorated with decorative canvases under a stone of red and cream shades with rough edges will look great.
