Perhaps the most important of considerations when bringing a vision to life is wall surfaces. Muraspec Wallcoverings has developed a global reputation for quality, design and the provision of production and technical support
Whether you choose paint or wall coverings, this can have a significant impact on the cost effectiveness, longevity and even functionality of your interiors. Common misconceptions about wall coverings include that they are too expensive. However, in reality, not only can they be practical and cost effective, but they are also a visually and aesthetically appealing alternative that will fit in with any design scheme.
The first and perhaps most essential benefit of choosing wall coverings is their fire safety credentials. Fire safety is determined by Euroclass testing. A quality wall covering will meet European fire standards and achieve the highest levels of performance.
Another key benefit is durability. The finest wall coverings are carefully designed to resist knocks, protect wall surfaces and retain appearance over time. Unlike paint, they do not require maintenance and biocide additives for stain resistance and ease of cleaning are yet another benefit.
Minimal preparation
Redecorating has never been easier. If they have been correctly applied to sound wall surfaces, wall coverings are easy to strip off and replace with minimal preparation. In fact, many professional designers prefer wall coverings for this reason. You’ll no longer be anguishing over paint swatches and contemplating the number of coats of paint needed every time you decide to renovate a space.
Another significant pro is the scope of designs, textures and colours that wall coverings offer. You need the perfect blend of palette and pattern to bring life to any vision and no other decorative solution offers such an extensive portfolio in just a single application.
From subtle or richly textured –such as rich embosses from nature inspired to animal prints and geometric shapes, contract or digital prints and patterns from floral and botanical illustrations to natural effects, metallic finishes and beyond –the possibilities are endless.
Designers also have access to a wider variety of colours, which can have their own artistic and functional benefits. The right palette helps to create the right ‘mood’ or ‘air’ for the space. Colour has the most significant of consequences for the atmosphere of any interior scheme.
Ask yourself, “How do I want this room to feel?” To answer this question, it will be essential to consider the purpose of any design project. This will help you to make decisions on everything, from colour to pattern to texture and beyond. For example, is it a space for rest and relaxation? You might want to consider pastel or neutral colours. Do you want to cool down for the summer? Go for a palette of purple, blue and grey tones. Or you might want to warm up your scheme with deep comforting tints from gold to maroon. The choice is yours.
