Paint Art: June 2018

Sellers of construction stores are already accustomed to the kind of confused clients who do not really know what they need. Even when choosing a tile, such people often can not count how much it is necessary. If the design of the bathroom involves the combination of several colors or tiles of different sizes, the calculation of the required amount turns into flour. In the end, the builders are buying tiles, and after a while they return to return the remains or buy the missing 0.5m2. And if the use of residues in large stores is usually practiced, then problems with the purchase of missing materials may occur.
It may turn out that one of these batches of goods has already been sold, and to order another store does not plan or the shade of a new batch of tiles does not coincide with the previous one. In the store you will not notice it, and at home on the wall, such a difference will be greatly in the eye. The cost of a quality tile is rather high, so it is not worth buying it "on the eye". It is necessary to make a precise calculation and only then go for a purchase.

To avoid all these troubles when choosing a tile, follow this algorithm. First, measure the walls and floor of the bathroom. Then go to the store, choose a tile and be sure to ask the seller if there is enough quantity for you exactly this product. If there is, be sure to write down the size of the tile and the direction of the drawing on the decor. Now go home and do your calculations. On a sheet of paper, draw up a plan for your bathroom in a deployed form (each wall separately), while keeping the scale. Now apply the tile contours on the walls. The height and width of the wall rarely turns out to be a multiple of the size of the tile, which means it will have to cut it. It is precisely on the plan that it is easier to determine the places where the cut tile will be the least noticeable. In addition, accurate calculation will allow you to significantly reduce the number of pruners. When the plan is ready, count the required number of tiles of different colors. In order not to be mistaken, make calculations not in square meters, but in the number of tiles. Now you can go back to the store and buy the material, but do not forget that besides the tile you will need a glue for it. If the repair work in your bathroom will be done by a hired employee, he will tell you which glue to buy.

Types of paint

For residential premises, water-based paints are more suitable. Water-based paints are not toxic and lie on any surface (except metallic). Water-based paints have a porous structure. Walls under the layer of paint "breathe". This creates a healthy microclimate in the room. Water-based paint creates a durable, beautiful coating that retains its brightness and freshness for a long time.
Some types of paint are suitable only for dry rooms. But there is a water-based paint, suitable for use in wet rooms. It:

acrylic paint
acrylic paint with latex
silicone paint
silicate paint

These types of paints can safely paint the walls in the kitchen and bathroom. They are not afraid of moisture, pollution, walls will be easy to wash.

Bathroom with grey walls and white ceiling

A new technology in painting walls - the use of "mosaic" or "granite" paint. This paint consists of small bubbles. It is sprayed with a special gun. When the paint is applied to the wall, a pattern similar to a granite texture is obtained.
Another new paint - "velor". In addition to air bubbles, the paint contains tiny solid particles. The surface covered with such paint, in appearance, resembles velor (although in fact, it is smooth). There is one kind of paint - "mother of pearl" or "chameleon". The paint changes the shade of color depending on the angle of view. In this paint is added natural mother of pearl.

There are a lot of wallpapers, so when faced with such a choice, you need to clearly understand what kind of result you want to achieve. What are the varieties?

Vinyl
Non-woven
Paper
Textile

Each of these species has certain advantages and disadvantages. For example, vinyl wallpaper perfectly suited to washing, because most of the dirt from them can be wiped off with a damp sponge.

Classical paper products have high environmental friendliness and variety of choice. If the owner of the room has any allergies, then the paper will become a salvation. After all, there is nothing more important than comfort, especially in private bedrooms. A major drawback of such wallpapers is their low level of strength, as well as the inability to erase any damage or stain.

Choosing wallpaper for the bedroom - one of the nicest points in the process of repairing the home. On one side of the bedroom - the room is private and all the gaze of guests is not addressed to it, as it happens with the living room. On the other hand, the microclimate of the sleeping space is normal, its walls are not contaminated and not exposed to moisture, as in a hallway or kitchen, for example. So, the choice of material for wall decoration is incredibly wide in terms of the variety of technical characteristics. It remains only to decide on the color and textural decisions - and here before each owner of the apartment or private house there is a big dilemma. I want to create a truly relaxing, quiet environment in the bedroom, using light, neutral shades. But I do not want to get one more boring, stamped interior. We hope that our large selection of design projects, bedrooms, in the decoration of which the wallpaper was used, will help you to find the very "golden mean" of the interior design of your dream.

The second step is a primer. It is applied in two layers, carefully impregnating cracks, bends, depressions, knots. The second layer should be applied after the complete drying of the first, about an hour, one and a half.
Then the walls are painted in several layers. The drying time of each paint is different, all subsequent layers are applied after the final fixation of the coating. The finishing layers are varnish, it is also applied in 2-3 layers.

The application of the LMC with a brush should be carried out by horizontal smooth smears or by a spray. The application of the product with a spray gun is also carried out in layers.
The colors can be matte and glossy. Brilliant surfaces are not to everyone's liking, besides, all cracks, knots, and other flaws appear on them.
