IN Choosing wallpaper for renovation in a country house
Types of Wallpaper
Clearly classify everything modern wallpaper very difficult. But let's try. If we talk about appearance, we can distinguish three main types of wallpaper: smooth (matte and glossy), embossed (corrugated or embossed), and also imitating texture various materials(various versions).
Wallpaper is distinguished by density (up to 110 g/m² are considered light, the rest are heavy) and by the type of base and manufacturing technology:
- paper
- vinyl
- non-woven
- textile
- glass wallpaper.
Let's look at the pros and cons of each type:
Very important parameters in everyday life - moisture and wear resistance
U classic wallpaper There is no protective top layer, and therefore they do not require any cleaning, except for dry cleaning.
Regular moisture resistant wallpaper are able to withstand infrequent cleaning with a slightly dampened cloth or sponge without the use of cleaning agents or detergents.
Washable wallpaper is more durable - special detergents are no longer scary for them.
Super-washable wallpaper can be washed not only with a sponge, but also with a brush, and the cleaning procedure can be carried out at least every day.
And finally, lightfastness
This parameter is very important if your premises are located on sunny side.
And now about what you need to pay attention to when choosing the type of wallpaper:
Condition of the walls
If the walls are even and smooth, without cracks or unevenness, any wallpaper will do. But usually there are flaws - to a greater or lesser extent. If the walls are uneven, immediately cross thin and glossy wallpapers off the list - they will only highlight all the defects. Relief ones are best suited for masking imperfections in the primary finishing. vinyl or non-woven wallpaper.
Purpose of the premises
If it is a priori assumed that the walls will get very dirty, then it is better to choose a washable or super-washable coating. For example, in the hallway or in the kitchen. But in the nursery, it might be better to stick, on the contrary, cheap ones paper wallpaper: all the same, the creativity and curiosity of the ubiquitous little robbers will eventually render any coating unusable. So the question here is one of economic feasibility.
Experience of the master
If you are going to glue wallpaper yourself for the first time, you should not choose the cheapest and, conversely, expensive and complex materials. A beginner will have a hard time with thin papers. They stretch and tear, and you need to be able to smooth them out skillfully, and to fight the bubbles you need skill. There are a lot of nuances with fabric wallpaper . You should not buy wallpaper that requires adjustment of the pattern or those that are glued overlapping and then joined through a double cut (see table above). Most universal option –vinyl and non-woven wallpaper. They are durable and do not change size, and the adhesive only needs to be applied to the wall.
Choosing the wallpaper color
Choicecolors and wallpaper designs – this is a very important stage. Seemingly harmless mistakes can lead to very serious consequences - even a nervous breakdown.
Dining room/kitchen
Remember: orange, yellow and green shades help stimulate your appetite. So if you've been struggling with excess weight all your life, give them up in favor of cool colors. Don't choose too much bright colors– they not only contribute to eye fatigue, but also quickly become boring. After some time, acid yellow or bright scarlet wallpaper, so pleasant at first, can begin to cause irritation. It is best to choose calm, soft shades - they will create a cozy atmosphere in your kitchen or dining room.
Living room
On the one hand, this is the room where we receive guests, and theoretically it should have a formal appearance. Red and burgundy tones work well for this purpose. But you need to use them in the interior very carefully - it is important not to overdo it. After all, too much red can make a person more irritable and aggressive. Are you sure you need this?
It is also important to remember that bright hues make the room more spacious and airy. With dark tones the opposite is true. But here a lot depends on the furniture, textiles, and accessories. Sometimes black walls can look light and weightless if framed correctly.
Children's
Here's where you don't need to experiment with bright colors- so this is in the nursery! Children are already prone to overexcitement, so you shouldn’t take risks by choosing flashy tones. The calmer the shades, the better. The ideal option is light shades of warm green.
Choosing a wallpaper pattern
Selecting a wallpaper pattern – this is also a very important moment. Ornament on the walls can expand or, on the contrary, extend the room, make the ceiling higher or lower, emphasize or level out the curvature of the walls.
Here are a few features of the “behavior” of drawings on walls:
- longitudinal pattern increases the height of the room
- wide transverse stripes allow you to make the room visually wider
- if the room is high, it is better to choose wallpaper with a large pattern;
- if wide, the large pattern should also be bright
- if you plan to decorate the wall with paintings, photos or a carpet, then it is better to choose wallpaper with a small pattern or without it at all.
And now - about the pros and cons different types wallpaper
Paper wallpaper
Paper wallpaper surrounded by their modern neighbors they look like obvious outsiders. They are fragile, they cannot be cleaned or washed, they are difficult to stick on, and they fade. But there are also several undeniable advantages: they are cheap, environmentally friendly and you don’t mind them. And sometimes there are paper wallpapers with stunning designs.
A little trick: use paper wallpaper where it is protected from dirt, sunlight and external influences. For example, in the upper part of the walls, with panels at the bottom.
Vinyl wallpapers
This wallpaper consists of two layers - a fabric or paper base and a decorative layer of polyvinyl chloride with a pattern applied to it. It is thanks to him that these wallpapers are not afraid of moisture. However, it does not save you from mechanical influences.
There are many types of vinyl wallpaper. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Compact vinyl – wallpaper imitating heavy materials, such as plaster, stone, brick, textiles. They tolerate mechanical stress well, have high strength indicators and are unpretentious in operation.
Heavy vinyl most often used in rooms with not very smooth walls. Due to its density and variegated pattern, such wallpapers perfectly hide surface irregularities and flaws.
Vinyl wallpapers with chemical embossing – great option for apartments located on the sunny side. They do not fade in the sun and can withstand wet cleaning using detergents.
Silkscreen printing
Silkscreen printing– smooth wallpaper with a shine reminiscent of silk. Very beautiful, but require a perfectly prepared surface.
Glass wallpaper
Glass wallpaper- This new type material. It is distinguished by the fact that it is based on woven fiberglass threads, which make your wall covering not only beautiful, but also very durable.
The new material has many advantages:
- environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic
- fire resistance
- non-toxic
— high strength and resistance to mechanical stress (dog fangs, cat claws, etc.)
— durability (according to the manufacturer’s forecasts, up to 30 years)
— economical (glass wallpaper can be painted up to 6 times)
But there are also disadvantages:
— this wallpaper can only be glued on perfectly flat surfaces, which must be carefully prepared beforehand: cleaned, puttyed and reinforced with a large mesh;
- glue glass wallpaper
it is necessary only for special, and quite expensive glue
- this is paintable wallpaper with all the ensuing consequences: you need to paint it and you can forget about the design with roses or fleur-de-lis.
Non-woven wallpaper
This wallpaper is made not from paper, but from non-woven fabric - a material with a fine texture and a smooth surface. Its basis is viscose, which gives the wallpaper strength and elasticity. These wallpapers come in two types - just non-woven and with vinyl covering. The first ones are usually plain, the second ones often have a pattern.
Pros:
- thick, dense base non-woven wallpaper allows you to mask small cracks and uneven walls
- fire resistance, fire safety
—non-woven wallpaper(without a vinyl layer) allow air to pass through well, allowing the walls to “breathe”
— ease of gluing: wallpaper does not tear or stretch, and often has an increased width
— easy care: can be washed with detergents
— the vinyl layer is easily separated from the non-woven base, which makes preparing for the next repair easier
Minuses:
— instability to mechanical damage
— price
- for wallpaper to be painted - additional costs for paint
Textile wallpaper
U textile wallpaper A layer of various woven materials is applied to a base of paper or non-woven fabric. These wallpapers look very beautiful. Such rooms are usually very cozy. But you have to pay for beauty and comfort. And not only with money.
Pros:
- "Expensive" appearance
- UV resistance
- sound absorption
- environmental friendliness
- additional thermal insulation
Minuses:
- get dirty easily
- can only be dry cleaned
- fragile
- absorb odors
- complexity of installation.
- high price.
Which choose wallpaper- you decide. But whatever you decide, don't forget a few basic rules:
- always buy wallpaper from the same batch
- be sure to check the quality of the wallpaper ( different thickness unacceptable)
— the edges of the canvas should always be protected by packaging
— avoid opaque packaging, as the design is not visible on them.

Criterias of choice
All-season endurance. Unlike country cottage, the country house is small building, in which they live only during the warm season. Therefore, when asked how to choose wallpaper for your dacha, experts answer simply: look for coatings that are least susceptible to fading, moisture, and are also easy to clean and restore.
Studying materials
What types of wallpaper are there, and how suitable are they for use in the country? We list only those varieties that make sense to use in an unheated house.
- Paper wallpaper. They are attractive because they are cheap, but gluing them is quite difficult: the surface must be well leveled, and the technology of impregnating cut strips with glue requires two pairs of hands and a certain skill. If the house has just been built (there are no problems with cavities on the plaster), and you are not afraid of the difficulties when gluing, this is an ideal country covering. They are faded, dirty, peeling at the seams due to dampness - we mercilessly tear off the stripes and re-glue the room before the new season. If you want to save effort and time, choose duplex wallpaper over simplex (single-layer paper). They do not fade longer and are more moisture resistant than single-layer ones.
Examples of interesting collections of paper-based wallpapers.
- Vinyl wallpapers. Ideal country houses: vinyl for painting. They are easy to wash and clean, which is quite important at the dacha, when household members or a pet, unwittingly, due to the proximity of the garden, can stain the wallpaper with earth or grass. Such wallpaper can be painted many times. Wallpaper with vinyl coating is not afraid of direct sun rays.
After the winter “downtime” of the dacha, as a rule, nothing bad happens. Unless the roof leaks, then the canvas may partially or completely come off, and it will have to be either glued or replaced. To decorate the walls in your dacha, you can choose inexpensive foam vinyl or luxury silk-screen printing - it all depends on your financial capabilities.

Wallpaper on a non-woven base with vinyl coating is resistant to fading, stains and scratches, and can be washed.
- Cork wallpaper. Unlike vinyl, which is often “suspected” of environmental problems, cork is a 100% pure material. In fact, this is a type of wallpaper on paper based: a thin layer of natural cork is applied to it. Important advantage of the material: cork covering does not attract dust, provides heat and sound insulation. Cork wallpaper can be washed and stubborn stains can be removed with fine sandpaper.
- Liquid wallpaper. In essence, it is an analogue or replacement for plaster: the composition is diluted in a basin, the flakes quickly take on a uniform consistency. This composition is applied to the wall, the design is applied with a spatula. It is important to remember one thing: liquid wallpaper is very hygroscopic, it must be covered with a layer of varnish.
When thinking about what wallpapers are on the market and which ones to choose for your home, don’t forget about the obvious things and use little tricks that will help correct some of the room’s shortcomings.
Buy expensive things. A country house is not that big - you can “splurge” on a couple of rolls of expensive wallpaper. The more expensive the coatings, the more durable they will be. Select several rolls very good wallpaper, and you can save money, for example, by shopping on sales days in large stores.
Combine. Country premises are most often small. It is not necessary to completely cover all the walls with wallpaper: you can afford a combination with plaster, wood, and brick.

Let you stick just a couple of rolls of expensive wallpaper on the wall. But they will become the decor of a country house, and not the filling of an empty wall.
Don't skimp on glue. It doesn’t matter whether you buy cheap or expensive wallpaper, you must choose the right adhesive. Moreover, it is better to buy wallpaper and glue at the same time.
Buy neutral ones. White, salt and pepper, small drawings, abstract patterns pastel colors - perfect option. This wallpaper is not afraid of fading in the sun. In addition, light colors visually expand the space.
Adjust the space. How to choose wallpaper for a low room? - The advice is simple: buy striped ones. The vertical strip raises the ceilings. Moreover, than larger area rooms, the wider the strip you can afford: a large strip in a room is 8 square meters. m inappropriate!

The question arises: why do you need to provide 2 customs declarations (one preliminary short one of 50 columns and a standard one of 10-15 columns for the same product within 2-3 days??
I wonder where our people managed to get this from which country or is it own invention to complicate business and replenish the budget through such fines?
