Decorative plaster in the interior: beautiful, stylish, non-standard. Unusual combinations of wallpaper in the interior: harmony of color of wallpaper and ceilings, furniture, floor Decorative plaster in a classic living room interior

Interior decoration of apartments and private houses has long been not limited to wall coverings. Today, the range of materials allows you to bring any original design idea to life. However, a special niche on the shelves construction stores rightfully occupies. We will present photos of the interior in today’s article, but it’s worth understanding the types of such building mixtures, understand how to choose the composition, and whether it is possible. You should not ignore the cost of decorative plaster for walls. Let's start the conversation with the areas of application of this amazing (let's not be afraid of this word) material.

Decorative plaster- This is a universal finishing material that creates interiors, textures and volumes. This putty is used in apartments, private houses, cafes, restaurants, hotels... the list goes on for a long time. The first mentions of such a mixture appeared in the Middle Ages. Then it was made from natural materials. Today, natural stone and other components have replaced acrylic compounds, and the putty itself has become available to all segments of the population.

Advantages and disadvantages of this finishing material

The advantages of such mixtures are many times greater than the disadvantages. Let's try to list them:

  1. When finishing with a decorative mixture, you do not need to pre-level the walls. Surface treatment is limited to applying primer;
  2. the viscosity of the composition allows it to be easily applied to semicircular surfaces;
  3. If applied correctly, seams and joints will not be visible. It appears as if the wall was plastered in one continuous layer;
  4. the use of white decorative plaster leaves the right of tinting to the master. Paint is added while stirring the mixture;
  5. an extensive assortment allows you to choose the interior style planned by the home craftsman;
  6. additional protection in the form of special varnishes preserves the plastered surface from abrasion;
  7. Water-based putties can be restored in case of chipping.

Against the background of the above positive aspects, the shortcomings are lost, but we cannot ignore them:

  1. Such finishing material, built less than 5 years ago, is not used. Subsidence, which is mandatory in such cases, contributes to the appearance of cracks on the walls. The same applies to buildings in a seismic zone;
  2. Such coatings are not tolerated. If a special varnish protects against a small level, then it will not help in the bathroom;
  3. A significant argument “against” for home craftsmen is the high cost of putty, although today the price has dropped compared to the level of two or three years ago.

Decorative plaster: names of types with photo examples

The main types are structural, textured and Venetian plaster. However, do not forget about types that imitate expensive materials. These include marble, flock (silk) or marbled putty. Each of these types is special in its own way, and therefore we will consider them in detail, having familiarized ourselves with photographs of walls plastered with different mixtures and methods.

The properties of all types are identical and depend on the components of the mixture (we’ll talk about this in detail below), but appearance is different.

Textured finishing material and its appearance

The name of the type already indicates that the applied finishing material has a clearly defined texture. Applying such a coating is not difficult, the cost is relatively low, which makes the mixture popular among finishing craftsmen.

There are 3 main textures - “lamb” (the coating resembles animal hair with curls), “fur coat” (gradually losing popularity) and “bark beetle” (more difficult to apply, has the appearance of a tree with grooves similar to the result of the work of a bark beetle).

Photo of textured decorative plaster for interior work can be seen below:

Helpful information! This material has a very significant advantage - the result is noticeable immediately after application. You don't have to wait for it to dry completely to see it.

What is the difference between structural putty

The peculiarity of this mixture is that the master never knows what the surface structure will be after complete drying. It will not be possible to set a specific direction for the patterns. Such mixtures should not be applied during wet areas. If you want to decorate your bathroom walls with this material, you need to ensure low air humidity until the putty dries completely. We invite you to see photos of wall decoration with structural decorative plaster:

Venetian plaster and its features

Applying this putty requires experience and skill. A home handyman who has not performed such work is unlikely to be able to do everything correctly. This smooth decorative plaster, after application, looks like marble, which becomes matte or glossy, depending on the finish coating. Another difficulty in using it is that the surface requires careful preparation before application.

Interesting information! Using this material you can create the appearance of not only natural stone, but also various precious metals. This effect is achieved by adding special pigments to the mixture.

One of the varieties of this type of application can be called Leonardo plaster, photos of which are presented in a small gallery:

Features of applying decorative plaster in the bedroom

There are no differences in composition from the previous version. Any types and compositions are applicable. But if a light shade is more acceptable in the hallway, then the bedroom needs a dark, deep color. The use of a mixed interior is encouraged here. Materials such as or embossed are compatible with putty gypsum panels. An interesting option with fabric is that drapery gives a unique charm to the room and intimacy to the atmosphere.

Helpful information! A bedroom is a room in which mechanical damage to the walls is minimized, unlike the corridor. This means that wax can be used as a finishing coat. It will give the wall a gloss that visually resembles a glass coating.


Using decorative plaster in the toilet and bathroom

For such premises you need material that is resistant to moisture. As in the kitchen, a good choice would be to purchase acrylic or silicate mixtures. Plaster for such premises is more expensive due to the inclusion of impurities in its composition that prevent the appearance of fungus and mold. Often, for such purposes, façade mixtures are used for external finishing works.

Important information! Despite the fact that bark beetle plaster is resistant to moisture, it is not worth finishing bathrooms and bathrooms with it. Water will accumulate in the grooves, which will eventually lead to rusty or limescale stains on the walls. Moreover, their appearance does not depend in any way on the color or shade of the wall.


Decorative plaster: photo in the living room interior

There is room for your imagination to run wild here. home handyman. Various combinations of materials, playing with colors and styles of applying putty, and even the possibility of plastering the ceiling to look like “Venetian” or “silk”.

It should be understood that if the hallway gives the first impressions of the owners, then the living room is the soul of the entire house or apartment, where a lot of time will be spent. This indicates the need for tinting in light colors. Pearlescent and metallic shades like gold, silver or bronze will help add expressiveness. But you shouldn't abuse them.

Using several different techniques for applying plaster, you can create a panel, landscape or painting on the wall - this depends on the artistic skills of the master. If you have no experience or desire to perform such work, you can turn to professional plasterers for help, but none experienced master will not be able to implement what the owner himself will do. We agree that it is difficult, but nothing is impossible. The work will progress slowly, but the result will amaze not only the guests, but also the home craftsman himself.

Mix the putty with the primer-based grout until the mixture looks like sour cream. To check the density, you can apply a small amount of onto a small piece of drywall. The mixture should not drip, but do not make it too thick - it will be difficult to apply. Lastly, pour in the stone chips and mix thoroughly again.

Main characteristics of decorative plasters

Depending on the binder, mixtures are divided into four main categories. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages that determine their application.

Mineral mixtures require a cement, gypsum or lime base. They are applied to a surface that has been pre-treated with a primer.

Among the advantages of mineral mixtures, we note high strength, resistance to high humidity, vapor permeability, ease of application, obtaining a silk surface, and fire safety. The mixture is quite affordable and involves the use of chips, flocks, and various decorative elements.

Among the main disadvantages of mineral mixtures is the appearance of cracks during shrinkage of the building.

Acrylic plasters are offered to customers in finished form. They have a high level of adhesion to any mineral surfaces, high elasticity, and a low moisture absorption coefficient. But acrylic compounds are flammable, and they are not suitable for cladding.

Silicate plaster mixtures are based on “liquid” potassium glass. They are emulsions that must be stirred before use. The mixtures have excellent vapor permeability and elasticity. Finished surfaces are easy to care for, but an opened container with the mixture must be used within a short period of time.

Attention ! Such plaster mixtures are good for outdoor work.

Silicone mixtures are vapor-permeable, have a long service life, are waterproof, and are suitable for all types of coatings. If desired, you can get a mixture of any shade by adding color to the putty. The downside is the need to use a silicone primer.

Finish options
