Refused to lay tiles in the toilet. I made a no less practical, but original do-it-yourself finish.

It has already become a good tradition to decorate the walls both in the bathroom and in the toilet with ceramic tiles.

This is understandable, because this material has proven itself well in the unfavorable conditions of the bathroom.

But time does not stand still.

Today on the construction market are represented and other equally practical materials for wall decoration.

Therefore, I decided to move away from tradition and finished the toilet with modern materials.

How I did it and what came of it, we will consider below.

An excellent alternative to tile for finishing the toilet, in my opinion, is decorative plaster.

For these purposes, it began to be used relatively recently, but the reviews are mostly only positive.

Therefore, I decided to use this particular finishing material in the toilet.

My choice fell on the decorative plaster "Bark beetle", since it is quite easy to apply with my own hands and ultimately looks original.

Before applying decorative plaster, the walls in the toilet were leveled and plastered.

Then on the walls he applied primer for decorative plasters (the movement of the brush was directed horizontally).

To apply decorative plaster, you needed 2 types of trowels: metal and plastic.

I started applying decorative plaster after the primer was completely dry.

I was purchased decorative plaster in finished form.

Therefore, before applying, I only needed to mix it well to restore a homogeneous consistency.

The finished plaster mass was applied to the wall surface with a metal trowel from bottom to top.

I tried to distribute the plaster layer evenly (the optimal thickness of the application is 2-3 mm).

After applying the first layer of plaster, I waited for the layer to set - this is about 15-20 minutes.

It is very simple to check whether it is possible to start further work. You need to run your hand over the applied layer, if the hand does not stick, you can safely proceed to drawing.

The decorative pattern on the surface of the plaster created using a plastic trowel.

I moved it along the surface of the wall in different directions and it turned out groovesthat mimic the moves of the bark beetle.

In my opinion, it turned out great and even managed to save money.

Due to the self-application of plaster, finishing the toilet turned out to be even cheaper than if the tiles were purchased.
