In first place in our rating is a French manufacturer, which positions its products under the slogan “Clothes for your walls.” The company occupies a leading position in the French construction market and actively sells products to Europe and the CIS countries. In the production of liquid wallpaper, cotton fiber is used, which is environmentally friendly. Masters in reviews note that the covering ability is above average and amounts to 3.5 m2 per 1 kilogram, but this is not the maximum figure. But in terms of the number of colors and the ability to create a variety of designs from liquid wallpaper, this manufacturer has no equal, which is why it is the best in the rating.
The company's catalog contains three basic Magolia colors (blue, green and gray), which serve as the basis for tinting. To create a different color, the manufacturer has developed a tinting card with 12 components from soft beige to purple, which will help create a cozy home style, and a strict business environment in the room. Using tinting you can reproduce up to 200 different shades. To further decorate the surface, the company produces Glitters, applied at the final stage of work.

The company has built additional factories in Asia, so on the packaging you can find an inscription about production not only in Turkey, but also in Uzbekistan. Liquid wallpaper is offered in three main collections: “Elegant”, “Prestige” and “Elite Millennium”.
We included the manufacturer in the rating due to the increased quality of liquid wallpaper. They can be washed, unlike products from other companies. Thanks to this, the surface is easy to clean from dust and maintain an attractive appearance. The consumption of decorative soft plaster from this company is also more economical - 4 m2 for each kilogram of dry mixture.

Buyers do not need to tint the base colors, but can choose from ready-made ones in the catalog, where there are more than 100 options.

A mixture of cotton and silk threads is used as the basis for liquid wallpaper, which provides sufficient strength and allows the price to be slightly reduced compared to other European products. More than 60 options for silk plaster are available to the buyer, divided into types, where numbering is used instead of names (Type 30-3, 23-3, 11-5, etc.).
Our experts added the manufacturer to the rating of the best for increased thermal insulation of finishing materials.

A good alternative to roll wallpaper is a relatively new interior material called “liquid wallpaper”. Initially, the unusual coating caused some concern among potential buyers. However, the new product quickly managed to take a strong position in the finishing coatings sector due to its special qualities. What is the variety of types of liquid wallpaper, what characteristics does this type of finish have, as well as manufacturers and prices for liquid wallpaper.
An overview of liquid wallpaper - what are they, in what form are they sold?
The world owes the appearance of liquid wallpaper to the French king. It was Charles VII who gave the order for the urgent restoration of the captured castle. Unable to use silk fabrics (the reason lay in the destruction of Parisian machines), the courtiers had to urgently get out of their predicament. Grinding the silk cloth and adding flour as a binder saved the situation. The coating turned out to be not only beautiful and original, it prevented heat loss and the penetration of sounds from the outside.
Generally speaking, the following can be said about liquid wallpaper: in the finishing material in question there is a combination of the best qualities paper wallpaper, paint and varnish coatings and decorative plaster.
Some people confuse the liquid version of wallpaper with decorative plaster. This is a fairly common but erroneous idea. The difference between these materials is their composition. There is no sand component in wallpaper, which cannot be said about plaster. What is the basis of liquid wallpaper?
This type of finish consists of:
- Cotton.
- Pulp.
- Polyester.
- Dyed fibers . As a rule, this is silk (natural or artificial). In fact, this is the main component responsible for creating the tissue effect.
- Decorative elements (with mother-of-pearl presence, shine, marble) adding sophistication to the material.
At points of sale, the appearance of liquid wallpaper bears little resemblance to its roll “relative”. The buyer purchases sealed packages with powder or ready-made mixture. The dry variation is produced in the form of small sawdust. This is a special wallpaper material impregnated with glue. It requires adding warm water. After which the mixture is applied to the surface. The main thing in this matter is the uniform distribution of the applied layer. In some cases, the procedure is completed by tinting the wall using special paint.
For reference . Walls covered with liquid wallpaper can look like paper relief, silk, or resemble foam. It depends on the choice of liquid wallpaper version.
Species diversity of liquid wallpaper
For the final touch in the decoration of residential or office space You can use the following liquid wallpaper, the name of which actually determines the basis of the composition:
- Silk . The material mainly consists of silk fiber. Refers to the highest quality type due to its long service life and resistance to sun exposure. The cost matches the quality, that is, it exceeds the price of the types listed below.
- Cellulose . The quality and appearance criteria are significantly lower than those of silk analogues. The price criterion is at the same level - they are the cheapest in the liquid wallpaper segment.
- Silk-cellulose . Presented with a mixture of fibers. They belong to the middle option between silk and cellulose materials.
Based on the type of use, wallpapers are divided into groups:
- Material ready for application to the surface . Just add water to it. Next, the decoration of the walls begins. Such a process is within the power of an amateur. No special skills needed.
- Wallpaper that needs painting . They are produced exclusively in white. To obtain a different shade, you need skill in the use of dyes and decorative components. As a rule, such work is entrusted to professionals.
What characteristics do “liquid” representatives of the wallpaper sector have – pros and cons of choice?
The benefits include:
- Luxurious appearance. The room becomes comfortable and cozy.
- Originality and unusualness of wall decoration. There is an opportunity to create fancy patterns and panels.
- Ease and speed of restoration work. Experts talk about a time period of 5-10 minutes.

What are the shortcomings:
- Expensive finishing.

Liquid wallpaper: colors, possibilities and selection rules
You should know that the selection of a specific model of liquid wallpaper largely depends on appearance in a specific place. Moreover, pure white, yellow, green, red, blue, purple and other colors (if we talk about pure colors) can be selected quite easily, but shades and combinations are a long process.
For pure color there is only one enemy - yellow spots, which can appear over time if the surface to be coated has not been properly prepared; for other color combinations, the quality of the preparation of the substrate also matters, but with complex patterns and combinations, the quality of the materials and colors that are used with them comes to the fore.

The above makes it possible to formulate a general rule for choosing liquid wallpaper: when choosing monotonous and monotonous patterns and textures, you can use cheaper offers, where quality at the texture level can have less influence. But the higher the detail of the drawings, the higher the requirements for the quality of materials.

It is known that liquid wallpaper appeared thanks to the King of France, Charles VII. One day he ordered his courtiers to restore the captured castle in three days and decorate it properly. Since the equipment of the silk factory in Paris at that time was destroyed, they decided to simply grind the silk sheets and add flour to them as a binding material.
The result was a beautiful and very original coating, which, among other things, also had the property of retaining heat and provided good protection from the penetration of extraneous sounds.
Soon, to decorate the royal chamber, gold thread was added to the mix - and everyone who visited these chambers was indescribably amazed by their splendor and luxury. Since then, liquid wallpaper has gained immense popularity throughout Europe.
