The functionality of the wallpaper lies in the ability to wash them with a brush, wipe, vacuum. Or to create a special effect in the design of the room.
What wallpaper to choose for the hall? Much depends on the composition of the family. If you have small children or a cat tearing up walls, durable fiberglass or extruded vinyl wallpapers will do.

For painting, cullet and non-woven are produced. When choosing a paint, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer's recommendations: are they suitable for wallpaper or not. Non-woven walls can be painted 2 times, in subsequent times the structure of the picture will be blurred.
For example, wallpaper for the hall in the apartment (photo below) can be selected according to the principle of combining a bright wall with interior items and softening the atmosphere with soft beige.
Combined Wallpaper
The essence of combined wallpaper is the combination of accent canvas and background. The dimensions of the active drawing can be any, depending on the interior and personal wishes. Various combinations allow you to create the correct geometry of the room. For a long room, combined wallpapers are well suited, photos of interiors testify to this. The emphasis on corners blurs and makes the long side narrower, and the background stretches a narrow wall. The combination of a bright canvas with a background is possible in other versions.
For example, combined wallpaper in the hall (photos confirm this), correctly selected for the recreation area, give special lightness and solemnity.
Preparation for work
Which wallpaper to choose for the hall depends on the preparation of the walls. For smooth, it is necessary to perfectly level the surface, which requires certain skills, forces and means. If there is no desire and opportunity to do this, choose a wallpaper with a relief pattern. For 3D wallpapers, you also need a perfectly smooth wall. A room with minor cracks can quickly and easily be brought into proper shape with the help of glass murals. They can be colored or painted.
If the surface is brittle and porous, it will have to be strengthened with a high-quality primer. In especially advanced cases, it will be necessary to repel the fragile layer and level the wall.
Calculation of the required amount of material
When choosing a wallpaper should take into account their consumption. Monophonic canvases do not require the selection of a pattern, do not leave pieces, which significantly reduces consumption. There are options for wallpaper with a pattern without the need for selection, when buying, pay attention to this. Combined wallpaper, when alternating the pattern and the background, is advantageous in that fewer pieces remain.
Impressive photo wallpaper on the walls for a spacious hall, in a small room, such a picture will reduce the space.
To calculate the number of rolls you need to know:
- ceiling height;
- perimeter of the room;
- the width of the door and windows;
- the width and length of the roll;
- drawing size, if necessary selection.
4 strips emerge from a standard roll of 10 m length (with a ceiling height of 2.5 m), if there is no selection of a picture, with a picture of 3. Separating the perimeter by the width of the roll, we find out the number of necessary strips. It remains to subtract the width of the door and window.
Professionals recommend taking wallpaper with a margin: an extra whole roll can be returned within three weeks after purchase, and looking for them if there is a shortage will be completely inappropriate.
How to glue

To begin with, you will have to choose a wallpaper without selecting a picture and without parallel or perpendicular stripes, otherwise the repair result can be completely deplorable. There is nothing complicated in the process, but sleight of hand and skills are needed. Therefore, with a complex drawing, it is better to entrust the work to a professional. And wallpapering requires even more accuracy and a perfectly aligned wall. If you look at such photo wallpaper on the walls for the hall, you can feel the relaxing effect, as if being alone with nature.
When gluing non-woven wallpaper, glue is applied only to the walls, this simplifies the process. For non-professionals, it is better to choose a glue with a shade so that there are no unsolved areas left. For each type of wallpaper, it is necessary to choose the type of glue recommended by the manufacturer. Do not forget about the stage of priming the wall, this improves the adhesion of wallpaper to the surface, reduces the consumption of glue.
