Embossed wallpaper for painting
Wallpaper that can be painted is always popular due to the fact that the owners have the opportunity to update the interior with little effort and at minimal cost. It is not necessary to remove old wallpaper. It is enough to just paint the walls. Is it tempting? Typically, wallpapers that can be painted produce a neutral color, with the addition of white pigment to the dye. This is necessary so that the base turns out as light as possible. Sometimes rolls of light pink, bluish or beige colors are sold. The surface of the canvases is matte or semi-matte, since the texture devoid of gloss contributes to better paint adhesion. Let's try to figure out what embossed wallpaper they are for painting.

There are 3 varieties of wallpaper coatings for painting:
- Cullets.
- Paper.
- Non-woven.
Each of the varieties has its own characteristics. But they have a common point: the ability to paint glued surfaces in any shade. Which option to give preference is up to you. So, how to choose a wallpaper for painting on the walls?
Non-woven
Non-woven base is characterized by increased density. Such a canvas does not deform or crumple. Foamed vinyl is applied to the non-woven surface. It looks beautiful, of course, but damaging it is easy enough. When painted, the risk of damage is reduced.
Important! Coating with non-woven visually smoothes the unevenness of the walls. Wallpapers are great for use in new homes (walls often crack when shrinking). The non-woven fabric not only masks cracks, but also does not allow them to grow.
Cullet
The raw materials for the manufacture of cullets are fiberglass (dolomite, quartz, sand, soda and lime are part of the filaments). Fiberglass yarns are applied to the paper base, resulting in a magnificent textured pattern. Sometimes interweaving of fibers creates an intricate pattern.
Like wallpaper on a non-woven basis, cullets well mask small bumps in the walls. The main advantage of this type of wall coverings is its strength and durability.
Important! Cullets are highly resistant to wear. For this reason, they are used in office premises and hotels. Gluing such a coating is extremely simple, and dismantling causes significant difficulties.
Paper
Designed for coloring paper wallpaper is made in two layers. They are impregnated with a water-repellent composition, so that they can easily withstand several stains. In addition to walls, they are also suitable for gluing ceilings. There are 2 categories of paper trellis:
- Simplex. Single-layer wallpaper with a uniform texture or embossing. They are easy to stick, affordable. Their main disadvantage is a short service life.
- Duplex. These coatings consist of 2 layers, with the lower one being thicker. The upper, thinner layer has a decorative function.
Important! Double-layered wallpaper, in comparison with simplex canvases, has a higher density. Their cost is higher, but they will last much longer.
There are also wallpapers that, in addition to paper, contain shavings. In texture, they resemble a canvas made of rough material. These embossed wallpaper for painting is a real find for interiors where deliberate simplicity and roughness of decoration are required. With gluing the walls with paper wallpaper, a novice master can easily cope.No special skills are needed to work with them.

Staining options
Painting walls glued with wallpaper makes it possible to adjust the design of the room. Relief drawing of paintings gives an additional charm to the interior:
- Painting in two colors looks very nice when the surface with a pattern is painted over with a contrasting shade. The walls at the same time look very original.
- A good option is to coat the non-woven fabric “from the inside” with a coloring composition. The convex pattern in this case will have a brighter shade, and the base will be dull.
- Smooth wallpapers also make it possible to create masterpieces. For example, they are the best suited for wall painting. A little imagination, hard work and artistic abilities, and you get a unique design.
Important! The drawing can be anything - a city landscape, a still life (it is especially appropriate for the kitchen), a thematic picture or abstraction in the spirit of artists of the beginning of the last century. Images of cartoon characters, animals or paintings on the theme of children's books are great for a children's room.
- An innovative solution - coloring with a 3D effect - looks very nice. It is advisable to use such an unusual painting not for all walls, but only for one.

A few words about how to make the right choice.

Each pattern is beautiful in its own way, so giving any specific advice is pointless. It is important to study the proposals and choose what you like:
- If you like rigor and geometrically correct lines, then a wallpaper with a geometric relief pattern is suitable for you. Creative people, quite possibly, will like chaotic lines.
Important! Consider the dimensions of the room when choosing. If the room is small, then smooth canvases or with a chaotic small pattern will do.
- When choosing colors, keep in mind that if the texture of the wallpaper is well expressed, the gloss will not look very beautiful. The matte or semi-matt option looks much more organic.

With textured paintings this can not be done. And so that the end result does not disappoint you, choose high-quality paint for wallpaper for painting.
Type of premises
