1. Tiles and porcelain stoneware: great classics of yesterday and today

Tiles and porcelain stoneware are two very traditional wall coverings. A safe bet that is a complete success in rooms of the home such as kitchens or bathrooms, where their popularity is high due to the excellent resistance they confer against stains or humidity.

These wall coverings have evolved over time, especially in terms of their shapes, textures and colors. An innovation that has allowed to decorate in a very creative way any type of room, impregnating each one of them with the most exquisite and refined atmosphere.

However, it presents a drawback to consider: the presence of joints on both surfaces, affects the accumulation of dirt between the separation lines and, because of this, their cleaning and maintenance can be tedious.

2. Wallpaper: speed without sacrificing aesthetics

Wallpaper is the ideal wall covering in the search for speed, efficiency, and modern aesthetics. One of the most popular options for being, in addition, relatively cheap and easy to apply compared to other market alternatives.

One of the main benefits of wallpaper is that it offers a wide variety of designs and styles. It doesn't matter if you prefer a discreet or striking design, the wallpaper of your dreams exists. It is also possible to customize its appearance, so if you have an idea in mind, you will surely be able to find a wallpaper that suits your tastes and faithfully reflects your personality and intention. And when you get tired of it, it's as easy and comfortable as removing it and replacing it with a new one.

The main disadvantage of wallpaper as a wall covering is that it tends to absorb moisture and, in addition, if it gets stained it is difficult to fix. However, there are some types of wallpaper, such as washable or vinyl, whose properties allow it to be resistant to environmental moisture, scratches or stains.

3. Stone: wall cladding with its own personality

Stone is a wall covering with a very special charm and aura. The reason? Its ability to adapt and be part of any decorative style, perfectly combining with each of its atmospheres and connotations.

And it is that this wall covering is versatile due to the diversity of finishes it offers. It evokes the most classic decorative styles, as it is a texture that we have always known and that we trust, and therefore, it conveys warmth and closeness to us, but at the same time, its installation in line with a more modern style, such as industrial, adds personality, character and style.

A material that, moreover, prevents moisture and the proliferation of bacteria. Of great durability and completely fireproof, which allows it to stand out against other wall coverings, thus responding to concepts that allow us to enjoy one hundred percent of each and every one of our rooms.

4. Brick: the essence of the authentic New York loft

When the New York of the 40s began to experience an excessive increase in rent prices, its citizens were forced to convert commercial premises into homes. An optimization of resources with which they would never have thought to achieve the creation of a trend that is sweeping in current decoration.

And it is that, this New York influence is still present today thanks to the installation of brick as a wall covering. An option whose decorative value is incalculable, by creating open and authentic spaces. A material that gives a unique character and personality, impregnating each room with true expression and style.

Its aesthetic advantages are obvious and they are capable of making each room a striking and highly attractive place. Characteristics that do not leave behind its low maintenance, strength, durability, sound insulation, heat resistance and the huge range of colors it has.

But, although at first glance it may seem like the wall covering of our dreams, we must consider the high cost of its repair in case of damage, as well as the accumulation of moisture on its surfaces that can cause the brick to break over time.

The wall cladding of the industrial style par excellence

Thinking of brick as wall cladding is automatically thinking of the industrial style. A decorative style characterized by its special sense of spaciousness, brightness and height.

The creation of open spaces in which metal, large windows, and gray tones are the main protagonists. A style that mixes the charm of the old with the elegance of the most modern.

Dominated by neutral tones that offer a feeling as warm as it is welcoming, to which a variety of grays and browns are added, the industrial style is one of the favorite options of interior designers when what is sought is a surprising result, through textures that contrast with each other, but that match due to chromatic similarity.

A material that offers a wide variety of textures, colors and finishes to evoke the most diverse decorative styles. Chameleonic and capable of blending in with the environment depending on the intended purpose, thus making its design something unique, distinctive and completely exclusive.

Especially chosen on bathroom and kitchen surfaces for the waterproof finishes it is capable of conferring, microcement as a wall covering is a super material, in every sense.

Venetian stucco has become a very popular wall covering in recent years. A decorative technique that originated in Venice over 500 years ago characterized by its smooth and shiny appearance, which makes it ideal for creating a wide variety of designs and textures.

A most original wall covering, which imbues the room in which it is applied with extreme elegance and sophistication, thus creating true spaces worthy of any art gallery.

But, beyond its aesthetics, its distinctive element as a wall covering is its extreme durability, hardness and resistance to moisture, thus being an excellent option in living rooms or bedrooms, but also in bathrooms and kitchens, where its coated walls reach the pinnacle of beauty.

8. Wood: wall cladding that provides warmth, harmony and balance

Talking about wood is talking about one of the most requested wall coverings. The material that connects us directly with nature, making us feel a warm hug that conveys trust. The tranquility of being surrounded by what we know well, by what is close.
