At times and for different reasons, we take our interior walls to look the beauty of the wood and give a different climate to stay special. As we say, one option is to provide a stay of a different climate, creating an atmosphere more in keeping with a rustic style, or elegant but warm. Another alternative in the use of wood veneers to hide damp patches, covering the entire surface of a wall, or a height of 60 centimeters to one meter.

Coating Types
The alternatives to the traditional tongue and groove slats are cork, vinyl siding, wallpapers and even imitation. If the natural wood in sheets or plates are molded or cut in special shapes according to the manufacturer.

The Grain patterns and colors of wood
The election marked a vein, such as pine, will create a more rustic atmosphere in a timber trucks more uniform climate produces a more serious and modern.

As for colors, dark climates create more elegant, distinguished, light colors and a more familiar environment and bright. It is important to note the color on the interior lighting of each room.

Orientation Plates
In the case of the slats in place an entire wall horizontally, the wall looks wider and lower than normal. Vertically, visually we grow up and is to display narrower, useful for low ceilings, but if the blades are too wide may not be very effective indeed. A more difficult form of location, at the time of placement but very decorative, is in diagonal form.

The Glossy Varnish Layer
Apply varnish to the wood will protect against moisture and prevent stains. You are further highlights the wood and flower colors. The brightness depends on the style and tastes. The matte finish is generally used in rustic interiors. The shiny satin and can be more elegant (if accompanying the wood) and washable.

Sometimes the wallpaper on the walls is an excellent alternative to paint for interior decorating. But during the renovation of the rooms, the paint or paper change of motive is necessary remove all the paper so that it does not affect the new paint or layers.

For non-washable papers without Layer Vinyl
Dampen the paper with water using a sponge, rag or brush. Remember that during the work may be exceeded in water so it would be advisable to cut the supply of electricity where you are working for security reasons.
When meeting the wet paper will begin to blister and rise from the wall. At this time take the top corners and pull low. If the paper tears can help with a spatula, removing the remains gently, trying not to damage the wall. You can override the sizing liquid water or a mixture of water and vinegar.

For washable or vinyl Papers
You can remove the first “layer to the view” by hand with a spatula and without water as this will be useless. Subsequent layers of paper are common, so after removal of the first can continue with water as indicated above. Another way is to use a roller drill, a plastic tool that is responsible for making small holes in the paper so that it penetrates the liquid and thus dampen the lower paper layers, softening the glue.
We recommend you go doing the strip of paper work, dipping in and pulling a few minutes after the paper is wet and tends to rise. Finally subtract the walls waiting to dry completely, paint repair imperfections or marks up with putty or dough scraper, sand, and proceed with new paint or wallpaper.

Paper is usually placed on every wall of a room, but it is also possible to opt for alternatives, combined with painted walls or other coverings. For this we papering just one wall or to a certain height as a base, to approximately 80 centimeters in height.

Here are two ways to calculate the amount of paper an entire room:

Form 1, the square footage
We measure the area to cover, wide and high, in the case of wallpapering an entire room width we take the sum of all its walls and multiply by the high middle of the room. Example:
Height x width = area of walls
2,30 m x (4m + 5m + 4m + 5m) = surface of the walls
2,30 m x 18m = 41.40 m² approximately
Now, multiply the length of the paper width. depending on the type of the same manufacturer and find different measures. Consider the following: a roll of 10 meters long and 60 centimeters wide.
Length 10m x 0.60 m width = 6m ² covers the role
This is what each roll yield. Then divide the room area by the area covered by a roll room: 41.40 m² / 6 roll = 6.9 m² rolls. This means that we need 7 rolls of paper to cover the room in our example.

Form 2, Number of Strips (recommended)
In this second way we are certain that we cut strips that cover the top of the wall and not what we have to do with scraps. Maybe we occupy more paper but we will get concrete results and a good finish.
Divide the length of a roll of paper through the top of the room. This gives us the number of strips that will yield a full roll.
Example:
Roll length / height of room = Number of throws per roll
10 meters / 2.30 meters = 4.34 strips

Therefore we conclude that a roll yield 4 strips, and on more than 30 inches for small areas such as under and over windows or doors. Then divide the perimeter of the room by the width of the strip. Continuing with our example:
Perimeter of the room / width of the strip = number of strips
18 meters / 0.60 meters = 30 strips
divided by the number of strips per roll (4.34) or rather 4
30 strips / = 7.5 rolls
need 7 rolls and a half, or more exactly 8 rolls of paper.

Other recommendations
- In these calculations can deduct doors and sales, although the process may be somewhat more complex, but is easier to do so by the second form.
- Please note that the paper is usually placed usually mounted a few inches, so in a 53 cm wide should be considered only 50. This is used even more in corners where you have to “step on” another paper about 10 centimeters.
- The strip can (or must) cut some centimeters longer than the height of the wall above 5 up and down, cutting off the excess with a cutter and a ruler at the time of placement for not branding the measures.
- Try to acquire all the paper once, to avoid color variation in the different items.
- If you are new placement is always advisable to buy some others because you can waste a few strips.
