Timeless decoration to your walls with red black and white wallpaper
When decorating a room, the appearance of the walls is one of the most prominent aspects to consider. You have a choice between paint and red black and white wallpaper, and there are pros and cons to both.
One of the advantages wallpaper has
over paint, however, is variety and design. There is no denying that wallpaper
offers some of the largest design selections in the home decorating world.
Modern wallpaper touts an endless array of colors, designs, patterns and art,
which can be used to match any vision of your room that you may have. However,
upon making the decision to use wallpaper, there are a few things to keep in
mind, such as that different types of wallpaper works better in some rooms than
in others
The common types
The most common types of wallpaper
available are: vinyl coated, coated fabric, paper backed vinyl or solid sheet
vinyl, and fabric backed vinyl. Vinyl coated wallpaper is not only the most
popular type of wallpaper, but is also the most durable type. Because it is
treated with vinyl acrylic, it is tough, moisture resistant, and easy to clean.
Therefore, it is best suited for any type of room, but is most commonly used in
bathrooms, kitchens, and children's bedrooms.
Fabric-coated wallpapers
Often, a more artistic license can be
taken with coated fabric wallpaper. This wallpaper is exactly what it sounds
like: fabric coated with liquid vinyl. However, be careful with this
wallpaper-it is not at all moisture resistant, and is therefore only really
appropriate for low-moisture rooms such as libraries, living rooms, or
bedrooms, not kitchens or bathrooms.
Paper-backed wallpapers
Paper backed or solid sheet vinyl is
another very durable type of wallpaper. It is almost like vinyl coated
wallpaper, except that it has a layer of pulp or paper on the back. It is still
very moisture-resistant and easy to clean, so it works well in any room. Fabric
backed vinyl can be a little more tricky. It is usually more durable than
coated fabric, but not necessarily as durable as paper backed or solid sheet,
or vinyl coated wallpaper. It consists of fabric with vinyl, but the fabric
layer is not always coated. So be careful to fully inspect this type of
wallpaper before purchasing it for your decorating job.
Grasscloth wallpapers
There are also other, more specific
and unique types of wallpaper. Some of these are flock wallpaper, which is made
with wool to give it a velvety feel and an elegant design; grass cloth
wallpaper, which is made with different types of grass, and foil wallpaper,
made with various metal foils. The disadvantage of these is that they are
difficult to work with, and not very durable. Also, foil wallpaper will crease
and bend, and highlight any flaw behind the wall that it is put on.
Many people choose to apply wallpaper
themselves. Depending upon the type of wallpaper, this can be quite easy.
However, most home improvement companies will perform this service if you
choose to go that route.
