Any owner of an apartment in a new building faces a dilemma: what material to choose for wall decoration?

According to the experience of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino , from the assortment in the form of wallpaper, paint, decorative plaster and other, more exotic materials, apartment owners choose the first option.

And this is their main mistake.

The slightest movement of the walls causes a defect on paper wallpaper, which is easily torn.

That is why you should not chase cheapness – it is better to take a closer look at more durable and elastic materials, for example, vinyl wallpaper.

If there is such an opportunity, then postpone the renovation of the new apartment for some time so that the house has time to settle as much as possible.
