The most common type of interior decoration is wallpaper. This type The material refers to functional coatings that can not only decorate a room, but also make it as comfortable as possible for work and relaxation. Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of wallpaper products, which differ in technical parameters, physical properties, and design directions. This article will consider one of the types of such coating - paintable wallpaper.
Paintable wallpaper - varieties, their characteristics
Paintable wallpaper is an excellent option for those who constantly want to change their interior without spending money on repair work. It is enough to just paste over the walls once, and then just change their color scheme. It is also very important to take into account that in case of external defects, everything can be easily eliminated by just touching up the damaged area.
Based on the material that served as the basis for the product, there are three main types of wallpaper for painting:
- paper;
- non-woven;
- glass wallpaper.
In order to understand each type in more detail, we will consider them separately.
Wallpaper on paper basis
The product has a two-layer structure, due to which it is possible to obtain the required level of strength, allowing it to be painted several times. Despite the properties of paper, wallpaper forms durable stripes with a relief structure. The possibility of re-painting is provided through the use of a special water-repellent agent during the production process.
Experts note that the density of such a coating can hide minor surface errors. That is, there is no need to spend extra money and materials on perfect alignment. Relatively appearance, they are made in white, but models with pastel shades may be available.
Non-woven wallpaper
They are considered one of the best and practical means for pasting. Such wallpaper consists of two layers, the bottom one is represented by a non-woven base, and the second by vinyl coating, with the help of which it is possible to form a variety of structural reliefs. Both of these materials are characterized by fragility, which can lead to crumbling after a certain time. In order to preserve their appearance, painting is used. The density of the material allows painting work to be done up to 15 times, so you can choose the optimal color scheme.
The main advantage of non-woven products is the ease of gluing them. This process does not require a large space to roll out the pieces, because the glue is applied directly to the wall.
Non-woven wallpaper is available on the market in white or in a painted version. Both of these proposals are popular and can be used in new buildings. Due to its flexibility and strength, non-woven fabric allows you to hide cracks on the walls that form when a new house shrinks.
The environmental friendliness of such wallpaper is also at high level. They are absolutely safe for human health and can be used in premises with increased safety requirements.
Glass wallpaper
They are a special type, in the production of which soda, sand, lime and dolomite are used. When mixed, these components form glass, from which fibers are subsequently drawn to serve as the basis for wallpaper. Due to the fire-fighting properties of glass, the product is not afraid of high temperatures, and also has features similar to fiberglass and spider webs.
In the wound you can find two types of glass wallpaper, differing in structure:
- single-layer;
- two-layer - supplemented by a paper base.
Each of these types has a characteristic surface appearance, pattern, and pattern. It is by these criteria that products stand out from a number of similar proposals. Fiberglass wallpaper can be painted over a long period of time, up to 12 times. You can paint more, but there is a risk of losing the relief.
In addition to the attractive appearance of the room, which is formed after pasting with such wallpaper, it is important to note their practical qualities. They are easy to clean and wash with a brush, and also have high resistance to mechanical damage.
IN modern design, experts note another subtype of aesthetic wallpaper coverings that can be painted - linkrust. This material is made from a paper base on which natural elements are located ( wax, wood shavings, chalk, etc.), contributing to the formation of original drawings. Pasting with such wallpaper takes a minimum amount of time, since when applying it to the wall, it is enough to moisten the base with water.
Areas of use of fights for painting
Technical parameters and properties of materials allow them to be used for the implementation of a wide number of objects and projects. To choose the most suitable option for a specific room, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the characteristics of each product and the recommendations of specialists for their use.
In office buildings, preference should be given to wear-resistant and durable materials that can withstand mechanical damage. In this regard, non-woven or glass wallpaper would be the best options.
If you select a department for your home, then you can use paper wallpaper in rooms with little traffic, but for corridors, hallways, living rooms, it is better to give preference to a non-woven base or fiberglass.

After all, even if there is a very original idea, a beautiful landscape or an extraordinary drawing, but executed “in a mistake,” such an interior will no longer have any appearance.
In addition to everything, reproducing the painting with two, three or big amount colors and shades, remember also some nuances:
1. There are 3 kinds of color combination:
- Related shades are combined. For example, blue and mint, etc.
- Combining shades related to the same color, they can only differ in saturation!
- Opposite colors. For example, green and red, orange and blue, etc.
When choosing contrasting colors, you need to pay attention to their saturation, as well as their “sound” and temperature. All this should be similar to each other. For example, combine orange or orange with dark green. But if orange is more muted, then green should be the same, softer. If you can’t come up with a color combination on your own, it’s better not to take risks and turn to professionals, or combine no more than two shades with each other.
The most correct combination of colors is the choice of shades found in nature!
2. You should first think about exactly how you will combine colors.
To create smooth borders, you can use masking tape.
If the color combination is on a protruding corner, you can install an aluminum profile on it. This method will avoid the destruction of the corner altogether, and will also help make a neat joint.

In fact, there is a very wide variety of painting walls using a combination of two colors!
The most simplified option is to horizontally separate the colors, i.e. one will be above the other. In this case, as a rule, the bottom color is painted on a third of the entire height of the wall, the rest is painted in a different color. This option is classic. But at the same time, it is very similar to decorating a wall with panels. Of course, you can use another method of applying paint, showing all your creativity and imagination. This method of painting walls is excellent for decoration. modern interiors, as well as children's rooms.
You can also use a vertical method of separating colors in wall decoration. Here you can decide for yourself how to differentiate colors from each other. For example, you can create a contrast by painting only one of the walls a different color or separating areas of the room with different shades. In this case, it is best to use a light or neutral color and a bright, saturated one. But make a softer and smoother transition between colors using a “gradient” (coloring method).
If there are ledges or niches in the room, they can be carefully and originally highlighted with color. To place accents, it is appropriate to use a darker color or, conversely, light tone(by 2, 3 or 4 tones) compared to the base. Alternatively, you can directly paint “panels” on the walls with paint. In this matter, “play” with your imagination.
The stripes look very beautiful and impressive. For example, you can make one horizontal one, passing through the entire room (room), or many vertical and narrow stripes. Yes, of course, such work is quite labor-intensive and painstaking, but the result is stunning!
For creative people An interesting option for interior design would be when the walls are painted in a curly way. Moreover, this can be displayed in absolutely any form - whether it will be some kind of waves, small geometric figures, or maybe entire landscapes or graffiti!

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most common options for using paints on wallpaper.
Method number 1. Horizontal painting. This can be stripes of different widths across the entire surface of the walls or a double division of the surface using different shades. In the first case, horizontal lines are created in a certain sequence to create a bright and natural design. In order not to create visual overload, it is advisable to decorate only one of the interior walls in this way. The second option expands the space and looks more restrained and comfortable, especially with the use of moldings and other dividers.
Method number 2. Vertical stripes You can draw over the entire surface of the wall with a certain alternation or select only some zones of such a surface (for example, at the junction with adjacent walls). Vertical combinations are useful because they allow you to raise the ceilings in the room.
Method No. 3. Painting one of the walls a brighter or richer color: This design creates . This effect attracts attention and also allows you to zone the space. If desired, paint of the same color can be used to decorate the ceiling.
Method number 4. Gradient transitions between adjacent walls or along one wall. Each wall in the room is painted a different color: adjacent walls will be the same or opposite. The main thing is that the shades used differ from each other only in the degree of saturation. This way you can create a soft and cozy atmosphere in any type of interior.
Method No. 5. Frame design: involves creating decorative inserts or frames on a solid, plain surface. To do this, just choose a brighter or darker shade against the background light wallpaper. Such “frames” or panels can be used for paintings, wall clock, mirrors, TV and other interior items.
When painting wallpaper in the form of small rectangular or round shape you can use moldings that will emphasize the classic direction of your design.

Method No. 7. Division of space. This method is implemented if it is necessary to allocate several zones in a room. For example, the living room can be divided into a hall and a bedroom, and the children's room can be divided into recreation, study and play areas. This method is useful in studio apartments: the kitchen area is completely painted in one tone, and the living room in another, and the transitions between different shades do not even have to be masked.
Method No. 8. Creating geometry. Surfaces covered with plain wallpaper, are decorated by applying paint in certain geometric shapes. These can be solid lines, diamonds, diagonal strokes, waves, zigzags, checkered patterns, circles and other elements.
Depending on the overall style of the interior, you can use different shades and place such patterns in different ways. Moreover, it is not necessary to apply drawings to the entire wall: you can decorate only the upper or lower part of it.
Method number 9. Creation of unusual compositions. One of the advantages of painting wallpaper is the ability to create a pattern of any nature. This can be an imitation of the sea and clouds (which is especially important in a children's room), scenes in the form of trees, skyscrapers and famous landmarks, cartoon characters or arbitrary lines and strokes.
