Using Wallpaper to Enhance the Beauty of Your WallsPosted by McFarland Alvarado on June 12th, 2021 Choose a concrete wallpaper for any room in your home to add a unique and stylish urban style to the living space; use a vibrant white concrete wallpaper in the bathroom for a bold statement, or go with a cool, black and grey concrete wallpaper for a more modern look. As with all types of wall art, the wall colour needs to be complimented with clever paint colours. For example, if you have a light or airy room then paint the walls a pale, sky blue to create a feeling of openness; if you have a dark, cavernous room then paint the walls a rich, earthy brown to make them seem warm and inviting. If you are choosing concrete wallpaper for the walls of a large room then you can experiment with different colours to create the effect of a larger space; you may want to create a feeling of limitless space by painting the walls a deep, navy blue or perhaps an opal red! Whatever you decide, you will definitely have a great looking room! To complete your concrete wallpaper effect, why not add some photo murals? posters could either frame a picture on each one of the wall tiles or you could buy photo murals to use as a frame on the tiles. Frame a picture of your favourite family member, create a photo mosaic with a collection of family photos, or display a favourite photo of yours or a loved one. Remember that when you choose this type of wall decor, it is important that you pick a theme or design that reflects who you are and what you love. Themes such as sports, beach photos or favourite vacation spots are popular choices for photo murals and are easy to re-install if the original wallpaper is removed. You can also choose a faux finish over a genuine finish, or even over painted surfaces. A faux finish looks like the real thing with the benefit of not chipping, cracking or peeling. These types of concrete wall murals are especially useful in kitchens and bathrooms where spillages or accidents may happen. If you are choosing this type of faux finish, make sure that the colours match those in your interior design. The faux finish will also provide a softer look to your walls. There are many different companies that make wall murals with concrete wallpaper. Some are more expensive than others but they all offer professional quality designs and installation. If you want a simple, clean finished product then look for plain unpainted murals. These are easy to install, however if you are keen to give your walls a textured look you should consider adding stencils to the design. You can find many great decorative stencils at any local home improvement store. Another option is to purchase pre-fabricated stencils that come with the installation kit. As with any other type of wallpaper, you have the choice of using acrylic paint or a vinyl coating to achieve the effects. Both styles of wallpapers are popular because they allow you to create a multitude of effects. Acrylic paint provides a cleaner, lighter finish; however it is also slower to dry. Vinyl coatings provide a high gloss finish on your concrete walls and the cost of these products is comparable to acrylic paint. If you use wallpaper with the texture on it, be aware that if you use regular paper towels to wipe the wallpaper off, the texture may come off when you apply the vinyl coating. Concrete wallpapers are great if you want to create a professional industrial look in a restaurant, garage or basement. You can choose from many different colors, patterns and designs when choosing concrete wall murals. You may prefer bold designs or abstract patterns that you have never seen before. Whatever your preference, you are sure to find concrete wallpaper murals that will enhance the beauty of your walls.Like it? Share it! More by this author |
