Mural on the wall
What should be understood as a mural?
To understand it, it makes sense to recall the times when this technology was first started using this method of home decorating. Visually, wall paintings are similar to frescoes, but in fact these are all different techniques, although in both cases the walls are decorated. For application, only fresh plaster is needed, therefore it is difficult to repeat the procedure under current conditions..
But there are masters who can reproduce even complex landscapes on fresh plaster.. As a paint materials with natural pigments act. This allows you to get rich and bright picture.
This option is preferred. If the picture gets bored, then it can be easily removed or moved to another room.
Landscape fresco in the interior
Due to the fact that the paints were expensive, and not everyone could do the work, the frescoes used to be used for the decoration of palaces. Could see them in rich houses. The basis of paint, except for natural pigments, created a mixture of sand and lime. After applying the paint on the wet surface, it firmly grasped the wall. On top of the image was covered with a film that protects it for a long time.
Now it is used in ordinary homes, and in hotels, and in restaurants. Often this area is highlighted in a special way. This will make the picture more visible.
Feature of performance of work consists in speed. During the day the master must have time to do everything - lime dries very quickly. Accordingly, making mistakes in creating a picture is impossible. The technology itself denies making any changes. If an error is allowed, then the entire composition is completely deleted and redone.

This has been described classic technique. But now it has changed a bit, as the composition of the paint has become more modern.As for the examples of ancient frescoes that have survived to our time, they can be seen in old buildings. For example, the famous work The Creation of Adam was preserved almost unchanged in the Sistine Chapel. Mural represents any technique of applying the image on the wall. To do this, any technique and any paint will do.
There are even wallpapers imitating murals. The limitation to create may be a mismatch of styles. She can look bad in a room with a modern style. It is important to guess the theme of the image. For a new style this could be:
- space;
- futuristic motifs.

Murals on non-woven fabric
In the old days, only one technology was used - applying the image on the wet plaster. Now there are much more variations.
Textured non-woven base
Murals on non-woven fabric belong to Italian technology. To create a picture using non-woven base. You can make an image on a special printer.
You can add a picture for several decades by the formation of microcracks - the so-called craquelure. Cracks can either be strengthened or abandoned at all. For one square meter of the picture they can ask for about 15 thousand rubles. Fastened non-woven sheet as usual wallpaper. There are no special secrets of installation. There is a special glue just for non-woven wallpaper.
With craquelure effect
Especially good to use these wallpapers for large surfaces. The lack of joints makes connecting individual parts simple. The very same picture is complete.
Work can be quite expensive, since it is performed only manually, and, at all stages. First, a plaster base is created. After creating the base image is applied.
As in the previous case, this image must undergo aging before it gets to the canvas. The uniqueness of the method is that it can be performed by masters from Spain or Italy. Exclusive or large murals will be long and for a lot of money.
Design of interfloor space is expensive and stylish
Finished products are sold as a roll or on a stretcher. For bonding requires glue for heavy wallpaper. Excess canvas is trimmed at the edges before the plaster is applied and the wall is leveled. The picture should always be coated with wax. It can not be touched because of the fragility. Also, it can not be washed with water.

As for the self-adhesive base, it is a non-woven fabric. The image is applied to this canvas with the help of sand paste. The image is created and applied digitally. After removing the protective layer, it is simply glued to the wall. The master can combine these murals with paints, wallpaper and other finishing materials.
Interior with ceiling painting
In frescoes on a rigid basis, the foundation is created from:
- wood;
- ceramics;
- polymer
The base, despite its rigidity, is light. To underline the old times, it is customary to do artistic chipping on the edges. Mounted as a picture and as wallpaper. There is a strict size limit, since it cannot be more than 3x1.4 meters.
The most preferred option is to create an image on the elastic plaster. The elasticity of the plaster is given on a special Italian technology. The presence of the mounting grid is required so that the product does not crack during bending. The image is applied with modern printing technology and harmless inks.
On elastic decorative plaster
The layer of plaster turns out to be large, and due to this it turns out to create relief and texture of the image. Plasterer fits around the picture, which creates the impression of a picture painted on the wall. The mural can be washed with water, as it is not afraid of moisture. Similar can be seen not only on the walls, but also on facades. They are glued with any mounting glue.
return to menu ↑What to choose between the mural and photo wallpaper? Is there a compromise?
It is this question that is of increased interest to those who want to decorate their interior, to make it unusual. In both cases, it will revive the situation. The sizes, as well as wall-paper, are impressive, therefore the listed materials can be conditionally attributed to one category. But the effect of using these materials is different. If the mural is a large-scale image made by painting, the wallpaper is simpler and cheaper. The image is created from separate fragments of wallpaper.
The process of sticking wallpaper
To understand the differences, you need to understand the process. Initially, the technique was the application of paint on the still raw plaster. Now such work is carried out less frequently.
But the same mural can be considered painting on a dry layer of texture.
Drawing is considered more creative occupation, than a pasting of wall-paper. Yes, and in other indicators they are ahead.
There are reasons for this:
- In the first case, the artist tries to reproduce the plot, which the customer liked. The artist in this regard has a lot of room for imagination, as he can remove elements or add something of his own. This approach allows you to decorate the interior.
- Do not forget that the wallpaper is made automatically, while the fresco is purely handmade. Handwork is appreciated and paid for more. But manual work does not mean that the fresco will quickly become worthless.
- The characteristic advantage of the frescoes is their durability. Wallpapers are not so durable - they have a degree of wear resistance. The wallpapers have a paper base, which immediately puts forward a number of requirements for the working surface and the room as a whole. The walls should be perfectly flat, and the room should not be too wet. Wallpapers can be textured vinyl. Vinyl gives wallpaper more durability. But to compete on this indicator with the frescoes wallpaper can not. If we consider the most durable wallpaper, then this non-woven model.
In the modern interior of the dining room
Non-woven wallpaper can be purchased immediately, knowing the parameters, but most often they are made individually for the order. After coating with a layer plaster, wallpaper begin to resemble a mural. They have a clear bias at the average price. A more affordable option is to buy photo wallpaper.
Antique painting
You can go even further and purchase the cheapest paper wallpaper. Due to its fragility, it should be done only if financial opportunities are severely limited. You can also find a cheap option, as the cost is formed on the degree of skill of the artist.
