The interior consists not only of furniture and any accessories (read also about its choice here). Ceilings, floors, walls (considered here) are also directly related to the decor. You will especially have to think carefully about the decor of the walls in the bathroom and in the kitchen, since there you can’t paste the wallpaper and you won’t do much with the walls.

Many materials will not pass the test associated with temperature extremes. It's good that there is a great alternative to wallpaper - this is tile. You can’t even imagine how she is able to transform the room: to make it not just beautiful, but individual, designer.

Let's find out what needs to be done so that it is combined with a kitchen set, does not fall off and delights you every day.

The basis of the apron for the kitchen

We are talking about tiles, but it is worth mentioning, after all, other materials that can be used.

• Glass - a serious competitor, excellent qualities, but installation requires experience, is expensive.

• Mirror - This is a one-piece panel that is very demanding to care for. If you love order and are ready to spend 15-30 minutes every day, wiping it from grease and dirt, this option is right for you. On the other hand, if the room is small, the mirror will increase the space.

• Mosaic - without a doubt, this is a creative and bright choice of material. But this option is time consuming and long. Over the years, grease and dirt can clog between mosaics. To avoid this, you need to buy a more expensive grout.

• MDF + plastic - it will pleasantly surprise you with its price, good appearance, you can make a beautiful design. Moisture resistance at a low level, inferior to tile in durability.

• Chipboard + plastic - easy to install and easy to clean, otherwise this option is not profitable to buy, because it will deteriorate quickly, and you will have to purchase chipboard or more expensive and high-quality material again. Good options can come out of it.

• Polycarbonate - it will help you a lot if you need to hide the wallpaper (they said how to choose them here), as this material is transparent. There are cons: if dirt gets between it and the wallpaper, it will be noticeable. Over time, it loses transparency, looks cheap.

• Fake diamond - one of the most high-quality and durable options. The high price is justified, there is a restoration function: if an artificial stone is scratched, it can be increased, and it will become as good as new.

• Metal - the metallic color is considered cold and uncomfortable, but if you combine metal and dark brown harmoniously, the eye will not tear off.

• Tile - we will discuss an apron in this execution. This material is in the middle between the glass (described here), artificial stone, particleboard and MDF. Installation will cost inexpensively, if installed by yourself. In this case, do not take it under the mosaic. You have to prepare the wall well, otherwise it will look ugly, and it will not last long. Ceramics will last you 15–20 years, and therefore, choosing, think: “But will she bother me tomorrow?” Easy to wash.

Varieties of tiles

• Tile (ceramics) - the composition includes clay rocks, sand, quartz and mica.
• Clinker - considered durable, used to simulate natural stone.
• Porcelain tile - has low porosity, is suitable for rooms with a large load. It can imitate granite, marble, brick, stone and even leather.

Photographic tile is a new technological type of decor. This opportunity allows you to come up with your own design, which no one has.

Ideas for photo printing can be found in the shooter bank. It presents numerous photographs and pictures for printing.
