What wallpaper is best for "wrong" walls

In old apartments and houses, as a rule, there are no perfectly even walls. Starting repairs, it is worth knowing that it is not so simple to fix defects on the surface of walls. Here both material costs and a good master are needed. And such work will require a lot of time.

It is not surprising that many owners do not want to attach much importance to this. Moreover, if the wall is hidden from view by a wide sliding wardrobe or book shelves. New wallpapers can also be glued, although strong swings will still have to be slightly aligned. But not all wallpapers can be glued to them.

What does not fit

When choosing wallpaper for uneven walls, you need to consider the following:

• Thin paper wallpapers will not work, as all problem areas will be emphasized even more;
• No need to take wallpapers that require fitting according to the drawing - sticking them just butt will not work;
• Smooth wallpapers also do not mask flaws;
• The picture should not consist of geometric figures, vertical and horizontal stripes - they cannot be joined exactly.

What wallpaper to choose

To hide irregularities, you need to choose a denser and thicker wallpaper. It is desirable that the picture was embossed or voluminous, and the images are asymmetrical, with a saturated pattern. It is better to prefer abstract motifs, bright flowers. They will distract attention from the irregularities of the wall on themselves.

Vinyl wallpapers have such qualities. For curved walls, they are ideal. This wallpaper consists of two layers: the top layer is vinyl, and the bottom can be either paper or more durable non-woven.

The top layer differs in application technology. For uneven walls, two types of coverings are suitable: foamed or hot stamping. Due to their texture, they do an excellent job.

It happens that uneven walls are also in rooms with high humidity. Then the best solution would be non-woven wallpaper for painting. They are completely natural and not so afraid of moisture. Among them, it is necessary to select corrugated canvas with a textured pattern. If you take the wallpaper under the paint, then they will create an additional volume, visually smoothing out irregularities.

Cork wallpapers made of natural material are also a good solution. They perfectly close small flaws, grooves and tubercles on the walls. They also look beautiful. The downside is their rather high price. But with proper care they will serve for a long time.

Finally, liquid wallpaper will help to successfully hide small chips and cracks. They are applied like decorative plaster and have no joints. With minor irregularities, it will be appropriate to make a relief coating. Liquid wallpaper is suitable for any room.

When choosing wallpaper for uneven walls, you should take into account the degree of unevenness, and your material budget. Then picking up beautiful, high-quality and functional materials will be simple.
