How to use wall finishes in a bedroom design project

Dear friends, any interior space is composed of some primaryarchitectural 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 spacein elevation. This means that walls are the first things ofany structure that create an impact on our mind. The qualityand volume formed because of the walls define an architecturalstructure.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 tobe kept exposed (without plaster), it is built with high qualitybricks which are machine cut for high quality and accuracy.Since bricks have their own color and texture, this option canbe used to create a color contrast by keeping only one wallexposed and other with a contrasting color. This can add someinterest 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. Sincethe plaster is a composite material using appropriate qualitiesof cement, sand and aggregate, the final material has a dullcolor. A dull color on a space like bedroom would expressa kind of depression, hence is not recommended.But portions of a wall with preplanned design and sketching canbe used in association with exposed brick wall. Designpattern 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 theexposed brick wall mentioned above. Many excellent patterscan 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 desiredshade of the color and base material are applied.b)Secondly, instead of using plane colors, the entire wall canbe used as a "canvas" to paint a story or mural. This is a verygood method to paint children bedrooms. Walls can be used as astoryboard 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 roommany 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 canserve as fillers and quickly add some interest in the room.6)Textured plaster walls.These kind of walls need special techniques to create a texturedpattern on walls. Once a texture is applied any shade ofpaint 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, smallshadows form on the surface of the wall, giving it a visualquality.A wall in the bedroom which receives direct sunlight should bechosen for this purpose.This article shows you how various options to the existing wallfinishes are possible, that can enhance the quality of thebedroom interior space.I hope this article was informative to everyone.Copyright Shrinivas Vaidya
