Despite all the diversity finishing materials, in most cases the choice falls on quite ordinary wallpaper, water-based or silicone-based paint and a simple, albeit quite attractive, laminate. Meanwhile, designers annually offer many new products that can turn any interior into something amazing and fabulous.
"Blooming" wallpaper
Such "clothing for the walls" is commonly called thermal wallpaper. The highlight of the novelty is that as the temperature in the room rises, the image on the wallpaper changes.
For example, a completely traditional pattern in the form of green shoots with tiny buds, purchased in a store, does not manifest itself in cold air, remaining the same ordinary. But in a room where at least plus 22-23 ° C, the buds begin to increase in size, and at plus 35 ° C they bloom with bright, lush flowers.
The disadvantages of such wallpapers are also enough. Firstly, it is not yet clear how thermal paint affects the human body and whether it releases harmful substances when heated into the air, so it is not worth rushing to buy new items before additional research is done.
Secondly, in order to heat the wallpaper to the right temperature, you will have to arrange a real sauna in the room, so basically the flowers appear only around the heaters, and the wallpaper on the rest of the wall will be no different from the usual ones.
Thirdly, they are quite expensive - from 600 rubles per square meter, so many designers advise to purchase a small roll and paste over the walls around the battery or on that section of the wall where the sun exactly hits.
Glowing wallpaper
It is worth noting that ordinary luminous wallpaper that flickers in the dark thanks to drawings applied with special acrylic paint that accumulates light during the day and can shine for 15-25 minutes after the light in the room is turned off will not surprise anyone.
Such wallpapers, usually with images of the starry sky, were popular a few years ago, so you can’t call them new, and they are quite inexpensive - from 120 rubles per square meter.
But the wallpaper that glows in a controlled way and becomes another source of lighting in the room is really surprising. There are several layers in this “clothes for the walls”, one of which is silver, which serves as a conductor, the inventor, the Dutch designer Jonas Samson, prefers to remain silent about all the details.
It is known that luminous wallpapers can be turned off remotely, they perfectly serve as a night light in a nursery, are durable and are not harmful to human health. But such a novelty is very expensive - from 1,500 rubles per square meter.
stone wallpaper
Yes, it's not just styling under a natural stone- such a pattern on vinyl or paper wallpaper has already become a classic and has graced numerous corridors, bathrooms and kitchens. This wallpaper really is the thinnest veneer of stone, which can be glued literally anywhere you want.
The advantages of such wallpapers include the fact that they are absolutely environmentally friendly and quite light - they are based on ordinary gypsum, a square meter of a layer literally 6-12 millimeters thick weighs only 10 kilograms. Such wallpapers look great, but they began to be used quite recently and it is still difficult to say how durable the material will be. Such stone wallpapers are not as expensive as controlled luminous wallpapers - “only” from 240 rubles per “square”.
Liquid wallpaper
If ordinary wallpaper is sold in rolls, then their liquid "colleagues" are offered to customers in bags that are reliably protected from moisture. They are really liquid, that is, they are applied to the walls with a plastic grater or spray gun, and when they harden, they turn into a kind of decorative plaster.
Dry mixture for liquid wallpaper is made from natural cellulose fiber, in which quartz, silk or cotton are added to achieve a decorative effect. Such a mixture is simply diluted with water and then easily applied to any surface, such as concrete, wood or plaster.
To the pluses liquid wallpaper we can attribute the use of only natural components, due to which they “breathe” and easily tolerate frost and sunlight, do not fade and are distinguished by a long service life.
The only drawback is that they cannot be washed with water in any case, they can simply spread over the wall and lose their original appearance.
The cost of liquid wallpaper - from 120 rubles per "square".
"Living" walls
Living plants can also be used as decoration and wall decoration - the Frenchman Patrick Blanc proved. Such "vertical gardens" are already quite common in summer cottages and adjoining territories However, to date, it has not been accepted to decorate the walls inside the building with them.
Meanwhile, the "living" wall not only radically changes the interior of the house, turning it into a real garden, but also makes the air in the room more humid and clean.
The disadvantages of this option for wall decoration include the need for an expensive irrigation system; a certain temperature and humidity must always be maintained in the room. In addition, such a "vertical garden" will have to be maintained regularly, which many homeowners employed in the service will not like.
The price of one square meter of a "living" wall starts from 4 thousand rubles.
In the interior, "living" walls made of green plants look very fresh and beautiful
This natural stone can really be sold simply in rolls, it is flexible and has found a fairly wide application in the interior. A flexible stone is created from a cut of natural sandstone, which is millions of years old. Each cut is unique, so when purchasing a flexible stone, you can be sure that no one else will have exactly the same interior.
Flexible sheets of sandstone are attached to thin sheets based on textiles, which allows you to literally twist the stone into rolls and use it in the decoration of columns, walls, bar counters, doors and arched passages. True, such a stone will have to be bent under the influence of hot air, so one cannot do without the help of professionals who already have experience working with this new material.
Flexible stone can be easily wrapped around the column, making it look like a real stone sculpture
Designers attribute the advantages of flexible stone to the fact that it is not afraid of temperature extremes, moisture and sun, it can even be used to veneer fireplaces, it will not lose either durability or beauty from fire and heat.
The main drawback is that there is much more dust from such “wallpaper” than from ordinary ones.
The cost of one "square" of flexible stone is 2200 rubles.
Flexible stone is sold really in rolls and does not weigh as much as it seems
Self cleaning paint
Acrylic-latex paints are now quite popular due to their unique properties: neither dust nor dirt sticks to such paint.
Very practical, durable, attractive shades, they are most often used for painting the exterior walls of the house; acrylic-latex paints have not yet been used in interior design.
Their uniqueness is also due to the fact that the photocatalyst, that is, the accelerator of interaction processes, which is added to their composition, helps the sunlight to break down the particles of dirt that have fallen on the wall. Then these small remnants are simply carried away by the wind and washed away by rain, and the wall itself remains perfectly clean.
"Washing" paint outwardly looks like quite ordinary
The only drawback of such a unique paint, durable and beautiful, designers call the high cost - at least 400 rubles will have to be paid for one liter of self-cleaning material.
"Liquid" tiles
Such a tile is also often called "live", as it reacts to touch, changing the pattern. The surface of the "liquid" tile is made of tempered glass, durable enough to be used as a floor covering or to decorate the top of the bar and dining table.
The internal capsule of the tile is under pressure, which allows the coating to immediately respond to human steps and even light touches of the hand. Such flooring creates the effect of walking on water and will decorate any room.
"Liquid" tiles can be of different shades, the combination of which creates a bright, unique interior
“Liquid” tile is easy to clean, withstands temperatures up to plus 80 degrees, dampens vibration and sound, so you can walk on it almost silently, but it also has a number of disadvantages. So, a “live” tile is afraid of frost, it can crack when the temperature drops, sharp objects leave traces on it, so it’s not worth cutting food on such a countertop with a knife, just like walking on tiles with thin heels.
In addition, it is impossible to put heavy pieces of furniture on it, for example, chests of drawers or bedside tables - the “live” tile does not withstand pressure over a large area. However, who will, having paid such a lot of money, hide the beauty under the furniture!
Walking on such a tile, you can really leave "footprints on the water", which looks very impressive.
The cost of such a unique tile is also very high - from 12 thousand rubles per square meter.
3D floor
The so-called 3D floor looks even more original and attractive - a floor covering that turns the floor in a room into a sandy beach, a flowering meadow or an ocean aquarium.
When creating a 3D floor, any image you like is taken as the basis, which is pasted onto a concrete base. From above, the picture is filled with a special polymer material, which makes the coating perfectly even, seamless and creates the same unique effect volumetric image.
In addition, even voluminous objects, such as sea pebbles or shells, can be placed under the polymer material, which will enhance the effect of a “live” picture.
However, designers warn that such flooring, despite its attractiveness, has a number of disadvantages. So, the 3D floor dries out for five or six days, scratches easily remain on it, so it’s better not to walk in shoes, and over time, the coating can simply fade and lose its bright colors. True, a special washing machine and a chemical solution will help restore its former shine, but this can already be attributed to additional costs.
Bright rich colors of the self-leveling 3D floor, unfortunately, may fade over time
The cost of a 3D floor starts from 1600 rubles per square meter.
living bathroom floor
But for real, without any exaggeration, the designers created a living floor for the bathroom from pieces of oceanic and forest globular moss. Such a rug can only be used in rooms with high humidity: bathrooms or near the pool, he also does not like direct sunlight.
Rug from different types moss is best used in the bathroom or by the pool
The moss rug is very soft, extremely pleasant to the touch, with the right level of humidity it remains green for as long as you like, and does not require time-consuming maintenance. The only point is that it is necessary to ensure that microorganisms do not start in it.
The cost of such a living bath rug is high - from 8 thousand rubles per square meter, however, the designers note that by buying a special substrate for plants and planting forest moss, you can create such a masterpiece yourself.
If you wish, you can become a real designer and create a do-it-yourself moss rug
Of course, not all of these interior design innovations will be appropriate in ordinary apartment. However, the fantasies of the masters who offer such unusual things and materials can only be envied, and some of them can be called not only beautiful and fashionable, but also functional.

Amazing wall design.
Saturday, July 11, 2015 08:17 AM (link)Apartment renovation and interior design is a diverse and inexhaustible topic. A lot of ideas for repair and design options for your apartment can be found on the Internet or it’s easier to go here where experienced designers will always be happy to help you arrange the interior in accordance with your dreams and desires. Projects of any complexity with high quality, in a short time and on affordable price, with an individual approach to the client - these are the main principles of the design studio "Galaxio".
interactive wall
 |  |
Wonderful if you could create your own mood? For as little as $25,000, you can have a wall that shimmers and glows in your living room. The ability to fine-tune the interactive led lighting and other elements created by artist Arjuna Noor. Combination of digital painting and photography LED backlight makes the image shift and change.
Thursday, May 28, 2015 1:46 pm ()In appearance, ordinary wallpaper can be alive. A new type of wall decoration - interactive wallpaper was developed by the Institute of Technology and called "Living Wall".
At first glance, the coating does not differ in any way from traditional wallpaper, but as soon as you touch its surface, the music starts playing, the lighting turns on and even the temperature in the room changes. In theory, creating an interactive screen requires a large number of energy-intensive sensors, but the author of the invention, Leah Buchli, managed to achieve results using conductive and magnetic paint, paper, a small number of sensors, LEDs and Bluetooth.
I think that the renovation of an apartment or office with such a coating on the walls would not even need an additional design project. A major overhaul of a three-room apartment in a 101 with wall decoration with such wallpaper would be expensive, but with the help of wallpaper the problem would be solved general lighting and decorating rooms. In addition, such repairs may have made it possible to free up as much space as possible, and therefore it would be possible to get rid of boring furniture without regret.
Interactive wallpapers consist of steel foil that is sandwiched between layers of paper. On paper, in turn, was applied acrylic paint with small inclusions of iron. In order to designate sensitive areas, a pattern is superimposed - a pattern of flowers and climbing stems of plants. In fact, the wall image is a network that includes: lamps, sensors and other equipment. The system is safe, as it uses a voltage not higher than 20 volts.
It is enough to touch a certain area with your hand and turn on the lights or music. The creators believe that this is the technology of the future - simple and easy to use. And what is important, it opens up further opportunities for its modernization.

No wonder the flight of imagination of designers is considered limitless, because thanks to their creativity and originality of thought, unique materials appear, in the literal sense of the word, striking with their fantastic properties. Chinese designer Shi Yuan, who constantly surprises with unusual developments, this time amazed everyone with his invention. This is a flowering wallpaper for walls, a unique kind of interior decoration.
The history of live wallpapers
You can also find other names - live wallpaper for walls, or heat-sensitive. Their feature is “blooming”, or a change in the color of the pattern, arising from the effect of positive temperature values on the surface of the decorative coating.
For example, at a temperature environment equal to + 15 ° С on a pattern, most often flower, small buds appear. When the temperature background reaches +25°C, buds of unimaginable beauty begin to grow and bloom on the stems, and at +35°C, live wallpaper for walls replace slightly loose buds with lush flowers.
What causes such an effect? The answer to this question lies in the ultra-sensitive reactive paint that covers the surface of the paintings.
In order for the flowering wallpaper with heat-sensitive paint to bloom in full, it is not necessary to wait for the onset of the heating season or the arrival of a hot summer. To do this, just lean your palm against the pattern or turn on the electric radiator, and the brightness and riot of colors will move you to a flower meadow.
In order for the decorative effect of the material to manifest itself to the maximum extent, it is best to stick flowering wallpaper on the wall near heating appliances or on areas subjected to periodic exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Live wallpapers on the wall, or rather, the idea of their creation, arose at the turn of the 70s. It was then that mood rings were introduced to the world, which are ordinary rings that can change their shade from the effect of human body temperature.
The reactive dyes used by Shi Yuan contain crystals similar to those used in the development of mood rings.
Benefits of blooming wallpapers
Heat-sensitive wallpapers are characterized by excellent wear resistance and durability. In addition, the material is light resistant. In addition, as previously noted, it is the sun's rays that are able to "revive" the decorative base.
At the same time, ultraviolet in no way affects the visible part of the pattern, allowing you to maintain the original color and performance characteristics.
Vapor permeability is another plus in the treasury of the material. By sticking live wallpaper on the walls in the apartment, you can not be afraid for the appearance of mold and fungal microorganisms, because the finest structure and its ability to steam exchange reduces the risk of accumulation of condensate vapors on the surface to almost zero.
Along with this, it is worth noting good moisture resistance. However, it is still not recommended to decorate wet rooms with them, since there is a possibility of thinning of the heat-sensitive paint and its complete washing off, which will lead to the further impossibility of “blooming” of the canvases. In other words, they will lose their decorative properties.
You can stick flowering wallpaper on the wall yourself. Their installation is completely identical to working with ordinary wallpaper and does not require specialized skills and tools from the master. Cutting cuts is carried out using the most convenient means, most often scissors or a knife.
The most important advantage that distinguishes these articles among the entire range of wallpaper fabrics on the construction market is their decorative effect.
At the moment, there is simply no analogue of this fantastically beautiful development by a Chinese designer. Magical flowers, blooming under the influence of positive temperatures, fill the room with a feeling of constant summer and warmth.
It is especially pleasant to watch the birth of flowering, when in a matter of seconds a lush and bright flower grows from a small bud. The presentability of the canvases is in no way inferior to the now popular 3D stereoscopic wallpaper.
Flaws
Alas, blooming wallpapers with heat-sensitive paint are not without flaws. The most significant of them is the possible environmental friendliness. This is primarily due to the lack of certificates indicating the safety of wall coverings.
In addition, the effect of paint is rather doubtful. It is this that causes concern among experts about the possible isolation harmful substances directly on heating.
In addition, by sticking live wallpaper on the wall, it is almost impossible to achieve a 100% flowering reaction. That is, only areas located close to heating devices or in places exposed to sunlight can please with a riot of colors. Uneven flowering is unlikely to look very aesthetically pleasing.
The high cost of canvases is another minus. Their cost of which ranges from 1500 to 3000 rubles. per m 2.
As already specified, sticking live wallpaper on the walls in the apartment is quite simple, therefore self-assembly is more appropriate here.
The gluing procedure begins with leveling the base - it is subjected to a double treatment with a primer. After that, the direct installation of pre-cut, in accordance with the geometry of the room, strips is carried out. Application of the adhesive composition is possible both on the plane itself and on the cut of the roll.
Unusual ideas, which from the outside seemed fabulous and unreal, thanks to the courage and eccentricity, the ideas of designers come to life.
Flowering wallpaper for walls is a very good solution for decorating a decorative panel or a separate section wall near the radiator. Finishing the entire room with such material can be called unjustified.
Soon digital wallpaper for walls will appear in every apartment and house and will become the main element in any design style. With their help, you can not only create, but also change it without repair. Professional craftsmen believe that such wallpapers will soon replace traditional lighting.
Types of digital wallpaper
So far, manufacturers offer 3 types of digital wallpapers:
- printed;
- electronic;
- interactive.
Printed ones resemble photo wallpapers, but differ from them in image quality, like a steam locomotive from a modern locomotive. Despite the fact that the pattern is applied to or non-woven fabric, unlike photo wallpaper, digital technology allows you to realize any fantasy. For example, put a photo of yourself on the entire wall. At the same time, the quality will be so high that every bristle in a two-day stubble on the face will be visible. If you wish, you can remove the stubble during photo processing or give your appearance a mysterious and masculine look.
To protect the canvas from exposure to sunlight and mechanical damage to it. Depending on the composition of the coating, a glossy or matte surface is obtained.
Electronic only out of habit can be called, so they have nothing in common with traditional types. They are more like slide show screens. The image, static or dynamic, is projected by a system of LEDs placed under the ceiling. The selected images are processed by a computer and displayed on the wall according to the programmed program or switched manually at least every minute. For example, you can create a view from the attic window on the ceiling.
Interactive wallpapers react to external influences: touching, pressing, stroking, and so on. For example, touching flower buds causes them to open. Models produced for children can react to the approach of a child and include the desired image. For example, an image of a forest that you can walk through is included. These miracles are realized due to the built-in wall, configured to perform certain actions when exposed to them.
Digital wallpaper in modern design
Printed, as already mentioned, provide images of the highest quality and a complete rampage of imagination. Electronic and interactive give a number of advantages:
- interior replacement without repair;
- the lack of building materials for repairs increases the environmental cleanliness of the premises;
- change the image in accordance with the mood;
- energy savings due to the glow of the walls.
The disadvantages of digital wallpaper include their high cost and complexity of installation. You can't do without the invitation of the master. But as mass production proceeds, prices will come down.
The idea of digital wallpapers continues to develop - the first batches of 3D photo wallpapers with subdued illumination and LED with 3D images have already gone on sale. While their release is being adjusted, developers are mastering a video viewing system on the walls using electronic wallpapers.
