Ideally, sew up the walls of thick plastic or paint armor-piercing with enamel certainly is the most practical of options, but what if you want to combine practicality with beauty, but also create a positive impression on the guests about the house since the threshold?
Task, to put it mildly, not easy, but, fortunately, solved. In fact, high-quality materials for finishing the hallway a lot, but wanted to talk about liquid Wallpaper. Many fear to use this, unique in quality, material, and absolutely nothing.

The key is to know what guided the choice and then the interior hallway will not only be practical but will become a worthy part of the design of the house in General.
Choose Wallpaper for the hallway ↑
First we need to understand what are liquid Wallpaper. There are four kinds, each with its own quality characteristics:
- Pulp and liquid Wallpaper. The main component of Wallpaper is a paper, they are most sensitive to the effects of dirt, moisture and even a simple touch. Despite the lowest cost among «fellow», use them in the hallway is undesirable.
- Silk liquid Wallpaper. At their core lies the paper, but the composition of the added small strands of silk. This coating is more durable and less sensitive to the effects.
- Textured Wallpaper with stone chips. From ready-mix is the most expensive option, but as part of a small marble, makes these Wallpapers are resistant and durable. This is perfect for the hallway and other rooms with complex environment.
- Combined. Typically, these Wallpapers represent a homogeneous white mass, to which you add any components as desired. Most often they are used by professional finishers, so as to create a high-quality mixture requires certain skills and knowledge.
The choice of these options depends largely on personal preferences and budget. In any case, the surface of the Wallpaper is desirable to cover paints, alkyd or water based.

Many of the designers in developing the interior hallway, go to the little tricks, for example, you can combine a few shades at the bottom, at a height of about 50 cm are Wallpapers of dark color, and then to the ceiling, soft light. This technique allows to distract attention from the floor, and the transition between colors visually increases space.
