Wallpaper is an integral part of the renovation. In recent years, in the shops of Barcelona, it is increasingly possible to find wallpaper rolls for subsequent painting
The advantages of such wallpaper are that you can easily change your interior, without re-applying each time a new sheet. To change the atmosphere enough to paint the walls in another color.
Since painting the wallpaper in Barcelona is becoming more and more popular, experts give a number of practical recommendations:
-
The most common type of wallpaper for painting is paper. Paper-based wallpaper is sufficiently dense to withstand moisture. You can paint them with a roller and water-emulsion paint. Suitable for subsequent painting are also vinyl and glass wallpaper, which can be found in the shops of Barcelona.
-
The last two types of wallpaper have an advantage over paper counterparts. They do not tear and do not bubble. At the same time, it should be remembered that they are significantly heavier, and this depends on how to properly organize the adhesive base.
-
Vinyl rolls are better painted with acrylic or latex paint. They are not compatible with paints based on oil or solvents. This is because such paints can damage the top layer of the wallpaper, as well as their excessive density.
-
You can paint the wallpaper using a sprayer, roller or brush. Everything can be easily purchased in Barcelona in any construction store.
-
When painting the opposite side of the roll, you can achieve an original pattern, because the paint will show up in different tones due to the difference in the thickness of the wallpaper material. This method is more labor-intensive, as it requires painting, complete drying of the material and only then the usual way of pasting.
