The characteristics of non-woven wallpaper include such qualities as strength, durability and aesthetics.
But even the most attractive appearance can become boring over time - and then it comes to mind to refresh the interior with paint. The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino , sorted out the aspects of this issue.
Non-woven wallpaper can indeed be painted – moreover, this way you will not only update the interior, but also protect the wallpaper from damage and even extend its service life.
For painting, choose water-based, latex or acrylic paint intended for interior work and having a high degree of adhesion.
Before you start working, prepare the wallpaper.
You need to make sure that they are dry and clean (if there are stains or other dirt, remove them with a special agent). In addition, make sure that the coatings do not come off the wall anywhere.
Just in case, we remind you that when painting you will have to keep the windows and doors closed to prevent drafts.
Start applying paint from the top and gradually move down. Try to do it evenly, avoiding gaps and drips. After the paint dries, apply a second layer if necessary.
