Most interior walls are covered with drywall, but each home varies as to how the drywall is finished. The interior design is left completely up to the homeowner, and can be molded to fit each of our individual tastes and desires.

Standard Finishing

Unless an unusual situation, most drywall is finished to a certain point the same way. The cracks, seams, and corners are taped, mudded, and then sealed with a special primer. From this point on, the design can take on numerous forms. Unless directed otherwise, many drywall contractors will apply texture, primer, and then paint a uniform color. When it is your own home, you have so many more design liberties. There are also many different finishes you can create through the use of special painting techniques.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is a long-used and popular alternative to traditional textured finishes. It has changed drastically in material and design over the years. Wallpaper has definitely stood the test of time having been invented sometime during the 1400s. It actually is quite amazing for one interior design concept to remain so popular while the cultures and civilizations have changed so drastically at the same time.

Wallpaper is now manufactured in vinyl coated paper, coated fabric, paper-backed vinyl, foil, embossed, flock, grass cloth or fabric-backed vinyl. Today, we are going to discuss the properties of vinyl coated wallpaper.

• Vinyl coated wallpaper is paper that is treated with acrylic vinyl or polyvinyl chloride.
• One of the most commonly used wallpapers, it is easy to clean and not susceptible to moisture damage.
• It is also easier to strip than some of the other varieties.
• Vinyl wallpapers are not difficult to install, and many come with the glue already on the back. You can also purchase the glue separately.

Wallpaper works well in any room throughout the house. Just be careful to choose a design that will not go out of style quickly. If you would like the assistance of a skilled wallpaper installer, then request free estimates from licensed prescreened contractors in your area today.
