DIY liquid wallpaper: easy and without masters
Do you want to update your interior without spending extra money on builders' services? Liquid wallpaper is the perfect solution for those who value ease of use, stylish results, and environmental friendliness. They combine the advantages of decorative plaster and wallpaper, allowing you to easily create a unique design with your own hands.
Advantages of liquid wallpaper
- Easy to apply - just prepare the surface, then add the dry mixture to warm water 40-50° C and mix the soaked mass by hand just enough so that there are no dry areas left in the mixture. Then leave to infuse for 6-12 hours, then mix again and evenly distribute the material on the wall from one corner to the other with a spatula.
- Seamless surface - unlike roll wallpaper, liquid wallpaper forms a single seamless coating.
- Possibility of repairing individual areas - if a stain or scratch appears, you can easily repair the damaged area only.
- Environmentally friendly - the material consists of cellulose and silk fibers, without harmful impurities, safe for children and allergy sufferers.
- Heat and sound insulation - the coating creates additional comfort in the room.

- Apply evenly over the surface with a trowel.
- Let dry for 24–48 hours.
Thanks to the ease of application and wide selection of designs, liquid wallpaper can be safely used in any room - from the bedroom to the office.
Tips for those just starting out
- Start with a small area, such as a small wall or a cozy corner. This will help you feel the material and the trowel working technic.
- For greater convenience, use a transparent plastic trowel; it will help you see the evenness of the layer.
- If there are noticeable irregularities on the wall, make the layer a little thicker so the coating will look more uniform.
- To speed up drying, ensure light ventilation in the room.
And most importantly, take your time. Let the process become a pleasant creative moment, not a pursuit of results.
