One of the biggest mistakes people can make is thinking walls are just walls and don’t need to be decorated or colourful. You see this particularly in workspaces where many consider the look of surrounding walls to be superfluous but they underestimate what beautifully decorated walls can do.
Research has shown that colours directly affect creativity and mood, and images influence emotions and can be used to enhance productivity. So what do your walls reflect? Wall decoration is not limited just to painting either.
This article looks at 3 ways walls can get the wow factor – so check it out and see which best suits your needs…
1. Painting
Beautifully painted walls are hard to beat for colour choices and variety of finishes, both inside and out and so it is not surprising that this is generally the most preferred form of wall decoration. There are some differences between the application (and sometimes the products) of exterior and interior painting though and you can discuss this with your painting experts.
There are also some differences in the way the painting process plays out in residential and commercial applications so this too should be discussed upfront and aligned with your needs.
Hot tips – Always use the best quality paints – it’s not worth compromising on this and if it is a commercial painting contract it is advisable to use paint contractors with good knowledge and experience in the construction sector.
2. Customised wall systems
Some people prefer something out of the ordinary and standard painting and paint finishes seem a bit mundane. They want walls that stand out and have something different. These are the people who usually go for a customised wall system. These come in variations of Trowel on, Scratch plaster and Technique finishes.
Hot tips – Consider using one of these applications in some rooms and going for standard painting in others, as they can give certain rooms a unique feel. Get advice on this from an interior decorator or your painting experts.
3. Wallpapering
Wallpapering, once the standard wall application of only those who could afford it, is now very affordable and still very much in fashion for those who want something stylish but different. This is where imagery really comes into play and every room can have its unique look and feel.
Hot tip – There is nothing worse than wallpapering not correctly applied and you want to have plenty of choices, so do ensure you liaise with professionals who have a good supply and particularly those who are skilled at wallpaper application!
