About Wall Finishes products
Wall finishes influence a room’s ambience and protect the surface beneath. New Zealand homes use paint, wallpaper, plaster, timber and acoustic surfaces across living areas, kitchens and bathrooms. Feature wall panels can give a focal elevation added depth, while wallpaper and plaster allow pattern, colour and texture.
Paint and wallpaper
Using paint and wallpaper for a wall finish is a relatively straightforward way to revitalise a space and one that can be easily updated.
Wooden/organic
Wooden and organic finishes, such as bamboo, add a modern, yet calming atmosphere. These materials can be aged to create an even more rustic, authentic look.
Tiles and ceramics
Tiles and ceramics are popular wall finishes used in bathrooms and kitchens around New Zealand. Thanks to their durability they perform well in these conditions which are especially prone to moisture. Tiles and ceramics are one option for commercial kitchen wall finishes, particularly where moisture is a concern.
The advantages of high-quality wall finishes
High-quality wall finishes, along with the right home decor can improve the aesthetics of any space. Good quality wall finishes will retain their integrity and style over a long period of time. This saves you money and hassles down the line. For example, high-quality wallpaper does not easily scuff or tear and can last well over a decade without being replaced. Similarly, high-quality tiles will remain watertight for years and protect the underlying wall from water damage in bathrooms or kitchens.
How to choose a wall finish that’s right for you
Consider the functionality of a wall finish when deciding which finish to choose. Some finishes perform best in different environments like tiles where the humidity is high. Wallpaper and paint are primarily used in bedrooms and living spaces where they can be easily installed and updated. Also consider both style and colour when choosing a finish, for example, a lighter colour will make a room feel more open whereas a bold colour will make a space more dynamic. Texture also comes into it, not just in terms of touch and feel with satin vs matte, but design too with respect to patterns. Patterns immediately draw the eye as a visual point of interest which may or may not be what you’re after. Textured plaster wall finishes create depth through variation across the surface, while coloured plaster for walls introduces colour without relying on a separate wallpaper pattern. Exterior wall finishes need to suit the substrate and its exposure to weather.
