Thanks to the huge choice, today you can realize any idea the designer or his own imagination. However, despite the constant updating of materials for interior decoration, there are several categories in demand, over which no power nor the time, nor fashion. On them will be discussed in the article, and prompt FORUMHOUSE experts, is now the most popular, what to expect in the near future, and how safe finish we use.
Wallpaper
In one form or another wallpaper found in virtually every home, their enduring popularity is due to the abundance of species, practicality and ease of use. Of course, there is also in the process of gluing the complexities and nuances, but stick the final coating is still easier than to create a wall. The most commonly used several types of wallpaper:
- Paper - from the most simple, with a typical pattern to exclusive collections in the screen printing technique. These advantages include environmental friendliness, breathability and availability. The disadvantage is considered to be a small service life, poor resistance to mechanical stress and external environment, exposure to microorganisms. Whatever properties or endowed paper manufacturers, it eventually wears out and loses the tint.
- Fleece - the same environment-friendly and breathable as paper, while resistant to any stress, whether damage, humidity or direct sunlight. Designed for decades of service without losing decorative, have a variety of textures, colors and patterns. Disadvantage - a solid cost.
- Vinyl - with outstanding decorative and operational characteristics and availability, have significant drawbacks - create an impermeable cover and being made of synthetic materials, may release the substance in the air adversely affecting the microclimate room. Vinyl is not desirable to use in children's rooms and bedrooms, as well as people suffering from allergies and respiratory problems.
- Glass fiber - an environmentally safe, water vapor permeability, as well as non-woven, resistant to any attack and are able to mask surface defects. Designed for multiple staining, which allows to obtain an exclusive décor with a standard invoice. The disadvantage is considered to be a small selection of patterns and complex dismantling.
This is confirmed by the producers:
Eugene Markin (representative of the Moscow wallpaper factory):
Using the wallpaper from environmentally friendly materials, such as paper and nonwoven, without the addition of vinyl, you reduce the concentration of harmful volatile organic compounds in the building. Volatile organic compounds - chemistry, we breathe using, wall coverings of materials with different additives comprising stabilizers, pigments and antifungal components.
Vinyl wallpaper with additives - more practical to use, but on the other hand, can negatively impact on the climate of the room. In such areas, it is likely to be uncomfortable for people suffering from allergies. Paper and non-woven wallpaper - 100% environmentally-friendly and does not contain a harmful chemical composition additives (VOC) safe, can be used in the children's room, as well as people suffering from allergies or respiratory diseases.
The popularity of different types of wallpaper just depends on their availability, practicality and environmental performance.
Eugene Markin:
The most popular wallpaper on the Russian market are now the vinyl, non-woven and traditional paper wallpaper, which in times of crisis are unprecedented demand. We are seeing an increase in demand for wallpapers that, with the development of printing technologies, are becoming increasingly popular.
Demand - a volatile category, and to know for sure that there will be at its peak tomorrow, it is difficult, but manufacturers track the slightest fluctuations in the market, therefore, have a more complete picture and can predict the situation.
Eugene Markin:
Current trends in the field of wallpaper can be described as the "ecology" and "close to nature". Wallpapers are the most important part in interior design, so the environmental cleanliness and safety for others - an important criterion for selection.
Walls, wallpapered from environmentally friendly materials that can "breathe", and the manufacturers of wallpaper adhesives using only natural substances that are absolutely safe. Due to this, wallpapers from environmentally friendly materials can be used not only in the common room use, but also in the children's room, where it is particularly necessary to take care of the safety data coatings.
Pavel Gerasimov (designer, 3D artist, co-director of the workshop Geometrium):
Now there is a tendency that people tend to live closer to nature, in connection with the gaining popularity Ecostyle and natural materials. As for the wallpaper - for our customers relevant paintable wallpaper with little relief. Often easier and better (in terms of further operation) pokleit paintable wallpaper than paint walls.
Unnecessary details are beginning to strain the modern man in the big city with a busy life. The market activity appears ekooboi from environmentally friendly materials. As for the ornament - popular among our customers geometric shapes.
Where once the wallpaper could make out only dry premises, today released special, moisture-proof brand designed for bathrooms or indoor pools. This greatly increased the possibility of finishing.
Paint
In great demand as interior finishing materials are paint - they can be used as a fully draw the walls, and put emphasis on any details. Despite the abundance of brands, types and varieties of paint can be divided into two main categories.
- Smooth - matte, glossy, water-based, latex or acrylic, on the basis of natural or synthetic substances, the output they give an even coating. Color depth depends on the number of layers, and the method of application.
- Textured - with the addition of natural or artificial fillers obtained relief coating simulating the various textures - dune sand, stone, cloth, metal and the like. To a large extent the result depends on the used application technique, however coating is exclusive.
There is currently a boom in timber construction: log cabins, houses of profiled or laminated veneer lumber are at the peak of popularity. Beautiful natural wood structure eliminates the extra interior trim. In view of the increased demand for wood coatings, do not hide, and emphasizing the advantages of the natural pattern, giving it a depth and protect the surface from external impact, together with paints using different oils and waxes.
Alex Smurov (representative of the company ADLER - production of paints and related products):
Who is most in demand translucent blue, wax, water-based and oil with different effects - antiseptic, anti-slip, matte, and others. We see also the increased attention to the protection of wood from UV inside the houses. Inside the paint visible range such trends: is requested more and more kinds of "white" shade more waxes, oils, colorless varnish.
Bright coating visually expand the space and protect the wood from yellowing retains your chosen shade. If somewhere coating based on oil was marred (stained, erased), you can then restore locally that location. Regarding the protection of the environment, in light of the concerns of people about their health, the wood treated with products based on linseed oil is safe for human and animal health. Such coatings are also permitted for children's toys and furniture.
Pavel Gerasimov:
Also have interesting colors that mimic the whiteboard. It is transparent, and it can be applied to any color. It forms a surface coating which mimics the whiteboard. You can write and erase markers sponge. This original idea for children's rooms and offices. Also from the same series have paint that mimics the board for chalk. This is what we use in our projects and what's popular among our customers.
According to Paul, it is now the most demanded natural colors and matte paint, instead of parquet - Solid wood flooring.
decorative plaster
Like paint, decorative plaster provide an opportunity to get a unique, unique interiors. Even a master with its own style of application, can not make two identical coatings, not to mention the self-application. Often an amateur, following general guidelines and techniques, pattern gets even superior to the reference or even inventing entirely new. This allows decorative plaster remain among the leaders in interior materials. With them, too, can make smooth or embossed surface.
- Provide smooth Venetian plaster and the like, imitating natural materials, with a mirrored or metallic effect. In the composition of the filler have only soluble mixture of components of different resembling soft paste consistency.
- Give relief plasters with artificial or natural filler - marble, granite, a large river sand and others. The layer thickness depends on the particle size as the resulting deposition pattern. Formulations for interior distinguishes the fine fraction of the filler, and on the performance properties are practically not inferior to the materials for exterior finishes.
Oleg Karmirkodiyan (YugTehProm Company - production of decorative plasters and paints ):
There is a bias towards coatings that mimic natural stone travertine. Oblitsevat room stone tiles - is too expensive and is not suitable for every style, plaster are also available, and the surface turns out not less decorative. Besides, now the emphasis is on sustainability, and this product is completely safe and approved for use in all areas. Since the composition is produced white, it can be tinted to any color, in the course of the pastel, natural gamma, perfectly combined with any interior.
Pavel Gerasimov:
Plaster now there are very interesting. In particular, I would like to draw readers' attention to microcement plaster and under concrete. Concrete combined with wood and paint in bright colors - this is what is now in the trend in Europe and Asia, and slowly moved toward us.
decorative panels
Quite often when you make a wall, and resorted to the decorative panel - as affordable, interesting materials. It attracts the consumer and a variety of textures, and ease of installation, which is the strength to perform on their own, without the involvement of professionals. Depending on the variety, the panels cover the entire surface of the wall or use them in certain areas. The main materials for the manufacture of panels are: wood, veneer, MDF, particleboard, fiberboard, PVC. For the manufacture of the form there are three types - rack, sheet, tile.
Last but not least the panel is chosen because of their undemanding to the ground: even the most subtle varieties perfectly camouflage the defects of the walls, thus saving time and finances on pre-finishing. Also tempting mounting segments speed, versatility and durability of the coating. If before the panel lost several other finishes in the decoration, the appearance of 2D and 3D collections to equalize the situation.
Natalia Gorbasheva:
Decorative panel, with the base of the impact-resistant plastic and the outer layer made of eco-leather - is truly universal and original solution for interior decoration of various types. Faux leather - multifunctional material in which individuality is combined with aesthetics and functionality. Panels quite undemanding care, be wet cleaning, do not emit harmful substances, wear-resistant, impervious to light, durable.
