Liquid

Seamless liquid wallpaper allows you to make an absolutely smooth wall without joints, reminiscent of plaster in its texture.

This type is suitable for decorating the interior of a living room, bedroom, hallway. Non-woven coatings for painting are also made.

Paper

Paper wallpaper has several advantages: it has a breathable surface, relatively low cost of material and a wide range of colors. However, among all the options, this is the most impractical material: it fades in the sun, absorbs odors and is almost impossible to clean when dirty. This type of finishing is suitable for a bedroom or living room.
