How to use wall finishes in a bedroom design project?

The right Wall Finishes can really improve a Bedroom
Dear friends, any interior space is composed of some primary
architectural elements such as walls, floor and ceiling.
Depending upon the type of structural framework, the
construction method would change.
We always see experience and perceive any interior space in elevation. This means that walls are the first things of any structure that create an impact on our mind. The quality and volume formed because of the walls define an architectural structure.
When we enter a building, what we primarily and dominantly perceive are walls. Let's see how walls can be used as an excellent element in a bedroom design project.
1) Exposed Brick walls.
In order to use these kind of walls it is necessary to preplan the interior design schedule. Normally if a brick wall is to be kept exposed (without plaster), it is built with high quality bricks which are machine cut for high quality and accuracy.
Since bricks have their own color and texture, this option can be used to create a color contrast by keeping only one wall exposed and other with a contrasting color. This can add some interest in the bedroom.
2) Exposed plaster walls.
An exposed plaster wall is a wall which has not been painted.
These kind of walls are very rarely used in interiors. Since the plaster is a composite material using appropriate qualities of cement, sand and aggregate, the final material has a dull color. A dull color on a space like bedroom would express a kind of depression, hence is not recommended.
But portions of a wall with preplanned design and sketching can be used in association with exposed brick wall. Design pattern with partly colored and partly exposed plaster can be a good idea.
Or a completely exposed plaster wall with a design patter in grooves can be used effectively.
3) Wall with tile cladding.
Tile cladding is what we see in kitchen above the cooking platform. Tile cladding is also used in bathrooms and toilets. These are normally ceramic tiles.
In a bedroom interesting patterns can be created to fake the exposed brick wall mentioned above. Many excellent patters can be used just like a jigsaw puzzle.
4) Paint on walls.
The word painting has two meanings here.
a) A wall with plane colors applied to it. This is done above the plastered surface of the wall. Two or three coats of the desired shade of the color and base material are applied.
b)Secondly, instead of using plane colors, the entire wall can be used as a "canvas" to paint a story or mural. This is a very good method to paint children bedrooms. Walls can be used as a storyboard to create interest.
5) Wallpapers.
Applying a wallpaper is an excellent way to quickly change the look and feel of the bedroom. Depending upon the "theme" of the room many wallpaper patterns are available.
Wallpapers are very good in large bedrooms. In large bedroom "emptiness" is a big problem. If there are not enough decorating elements available, a room might look empty. Here wallpapers can serve as fillers and quickly add some interest in the room.
6)Textured plaster walls.
These kind of walls need special techniques to create a textured pattern on walls. Once a texture is applied any shade of paint can be used.
One of the great thing about these walls is, when sunlight falls on them, a very interesting play of light and shadows gets created. Because of the undulations in the surface of the plaster, small shadows form on the surface of the wall, giving it a visual quality.
A wall in the bedroom which receives direct sunlight should be chosen for this purpose.
This article shows you how various options to the existing wall finishes are possible, that can enhance the quality of the bedroom interior space.
I hope this article was informative to everyone.
