Vinyl
Materials can be washed, and this is the main advantage. And the fact is that they are resistant to direct sunlight. This means that the vinyl is quite suitable for apartments with children and pets, where the walls can be stained.

The most durable. At the same time, Flizelin is also not harmful to health, so it can safely be used in an apartment with allergies. Water resistance is another quality. Due to the porous moisture structure, it does not accumulate inside, therefore the fungus is not formed.
Fabric
The last view of those that we will look at today. It is considered quite durable, and at the same time environmentally friendly - the basis of natural materials. However, because of this, they attract dust to themselves, and they can not be washed. But externally they look exquisitely, patterns and pictures are often made on them.
Does the texture matter?
In addition to choosing a tissue, it matters and texture. It can be different. Smooth surfaces are often chosen for printing color images, with a large number of shades and parts - so it is easier to consider.
There are options imitating plaster. The embossed surface attracts attention and can give volume - in this way, the frescoes, architectural plots often mimic. See how a similar interior with photo wallpapers may look in the hallway in the photo.
Wallpaper like canvas - On the basis of the name it is clear that on the touch they are really like a painted canvas, and at the closer look at the surface there may be even strokes or traces from the brush.
Linen imitation - Finishing on a tissue basis, which can simulate rude matter with fibers. Often, images of flowers, landscapes and vintage paintings are applied to this surface - thus create an appropriate atmosphere in the interior.

- Panoramic images. For example, a major night city, balconies, terraces. And also natural paintings.
- Subject pictures. They create a chief accent. This can any item, such as flower, animal. Often - macro shot. Just with such wallpaper should be careful. Too large and deliberate pictures - for example, a bright rose with drops on the petals, they left fashion, and they also grind space. It is dangerous to use them in a small room.
- Realistic wallpaper with 3D effect. These are modern options that appeared on the market relatively recently. Create a feeling of real space, transmit all the details as much as possible and displays the features of the picture.
Wall mural, expanding space in the interior of the living room
The pros uses many ways to adjust the shape and size of the room. Wall mural is one of them. We list how this can be done, and what pictures will help.
- Use horizontal or vertical stripes. Horizontal will help expand space. Suitable if there are high ceilings in the room. And if the problem is just the same in low ceilings, vertical stripes are what you need. Let even improvised - for example, the image of trees seeking toast.
- Objects that have the top also contribute to a visually more elongated ceiling. For example, the tops of the mountains, high buildings.

- Forest and nature create an impression of an additional window in the room.
- Another simple idea to increase the area with the help of photo wallpapers is to use glossy paper, and still working with a color - everyone knows that light cold shades (white, blue, gray) will make the living room of the air and spacious. But with warm shades you need to be careful, there is a risk of creating the opposite effect.
- The techniques are also used when the canvases show the "continuation" of the room - for example, an open window, a veranda, a long corridor. And another 3D wallpaper with a perspective with which the boundaries are blurred.
