Painted lining is an excellent solution to give the interior an original and unique style. Which coating is best suited for the lining, which color to choose? Look for answers to these and other questions in our material.
Benefits
Some time ago, it was generally accepted that lining was no longer fashionable. But modern manufacturers produce a variety of types of this finishing material, allowing it to become popular and in demand again. If you want a certain zest in the interior of the room, then you should pay attention to the painted lining. Such material will make it possible to bring many design ideas to life. Today, you can easily find a finishing material that would be professionally painted in production using a special technology.
The lining, painted in an industrial environment, has a number of advantages. For example, such a material is pleasantly pleased with the quality of the color, since there are no stains and paint drips on the surface. In addition, the quality of professional paint is different from that which is usually used independently. You can also save time and not waste it on painting the lining yourself. By the way, manufacturers offer a large selection of colors, it can be white, blue, yellow and any other lining.
Separately, it should be noted that the wooden surface in production is pre-treated with a special varnish or other impregnations, which serve as reliable protection and ensure durability.
Which coverage should you choose?
In the event that you plan to do everything yourself, then it is worth choosing the right covering for the lining. The overall appearance of the interior of a particular room, as well as the durability of the work done, depends on its quality. For those who are a lover of everything natural and plan to create an eco-style interior, you can use ordinary wax or wood stain. In another case, it is recommended to pay attention to the varnish, thanks to which the wooden surface will acquire an original shade and uniform texture.
It is worth mentioning that varnishes for such works are also different. For example, the so-called aqualak will allow painting both walls and ceilings. This product is absolutely non-toxic. It is recommended to apply it in a thin layer and, after complete drying, cover the surface with several more thin layers.
Another type of varnish is alkyd, which is particularly durable. The only drawback of such a product is that it has a pungent odor and takes a long time to dry. Often, such a tool is used during outdoor finishing work. There is also an acrylic-based varnish. Such a composition reliably protects the surface from various damages and external influences. As a rule, it is applied in two layers. The first is protective, and the second allows the shade to appear on the surface of the lining.
In the event that you want not just to give a certain shade of wood to the surface of the lining, but to choose your favorite color, then you should choose a paint. The most popular are oil, which allow not only to give the lining the desired color, but also form a water-repellent film.
Acrylate paints are good because they will retain their original color for a long time, and the paint will not fade over time. This is the best option if the room is on the sunny side. In addition, such a paint product will not form any cracks over time. There are also silicone and acrylic compounds that are also great for painting lining.
Subtleties of painting
In order to independently paint the lining, it is worth remembering a few simple rules. To begin with, before starting painting, you need to check the surface of the panels for defects and noticeable damage. If everything is in order with the panels, then you need to make a careful sanding. In the event that grinding will be done manually with ordinary sandpaper, it is recommended to pay attention to the graininess of the paper. It should not exceed 290.
Grinding must be done carefully and carefully. To achieve a perfectly smooth surface, it is best to work the panels in a circular motion. Only the part that will be covered with paint or varnish needs processing.
The selected mixture must be applied with a brush or roller. A small amount of the product is applied to the panel with a short stroke in smooth movements, after which it can be shaded to avoid streaks and to make the surface uniform. Next, you need to leave the product until it dries completely. In order to fix the color and texture, you can use special wax or various oils.
If you plan to paint in two or more layers, then the second layer can be applied only after the first one is completely dry. Sometimes it can take a day or even a little longer. In addition, there is one more important rule to remember. If the paint you have chosen is pearlescent or of any bright shade, then such a product must be mixed for a long time and thoroughly so that the color lays down evenly.
If you do not want to paint by hand, you can use a spray gun or compressor. This staining method can be handled only by those who know how to handle this technique. In this case, it will be possible to achieve a uniform layer, without streaks and streaks. Of course, this automatic method is faster, but it will take a little more paint or varnish than with manual painting.
Recently, it has become very fashionable to paint wooden panels with a decorative method, getting an unexpected result. In this case, the surface of the lining should be textured, since two colors will be used at once. This is the best solution for those who are not afraid of experiments and are not indifferent to the loft style. For this painting, you need to choose two colors. The first is necessarily a dark shade, and the second is lighter or brighter.
Initially, the board is painted with a dark color, and after that - with the second selected shade. An unusual effect is obtained due to the fact that the first layer of paint is easily absorbed into the uneven texture of the wood, allowing all irregularities and cracks to appear. It is also quite possible to cover the panels with patina, which also looks very original.
Stylish solutions
In order for the interior with the use of painted lining to look interesting not only in color, but also in style, it is worth showing a little imagination and not being afraid of experiments. In the event that you decide to use panels of different thicknesses, this will create an unusual wall texture. Wide panels are mounted on the wall in such a way that there is room between them for narrower ones. In this case, you can alternate the panels as you like. It can be two wide panels, and then one narrow. It is best to cover such a wall with paint of the same color, but in different shades. This contrast between the panels will help create an unusual effect.

For example, if we are talking about a bedroom, then the area near the lamps and sconces, which, as a rule, are located at the headboard, can be painted with lighter paint. Such a non-standard solution will visually not only expand the space, but also focus on other items, accessories, distracting it from the sleeping place.

Try to choose not too bright and not too dark colors for the nursery. Ideally, these are soft green, blue, light yellow or beige. The original painting on such a background will look great. By the way, the finishing stage in the completion of such work should be the coating of the lining with colorless varnish or oil. This will help the drawing last longer.
In order to create not just an interesting interior, but also an unusual texture of the walls, you can use non-classic lining. Prefer uneven planks and panels that have grooves, depressions, or even waves. As a rule, they are inherent in eurolining. Thanks to this material, it will be possible to create an unusual design.
And the relief of the walls can be emphasized by painting using two colors. This option is perfect for a living room. In general, a wide variety of styles can be used for the living room. For example, you can paint the panels in a classic white color, and then age them a little, which will give the room an unusual and cozy look. In the event that the lining is covered with light-colored paint, then be sure to choose dark-colored furniture.
This solution will allow you to achieve a visual expansion of the space. For the kitchen and dining room, you need to choose light shades. For example, it can be blue, pistachio, light green or beige. By the way, walls of blue or pistachio color are in perfect harmony with white kitchen furniture.
For the kitchen, it is best to choose the Provence style, for which the above colors are ideal.
Tips & Tricks
- During the installation of the lining, it is worth remembering that in case of poor ventilation, wood panels can turn blue, and if there is a lot of color in the room, then the panels can acquire a grayish tint. If the board becomes bluish, you can treat it with a special chlorine-containing product, and then cover it with a protective agent. If the board has acquired an unpleasant grayish color, then first you need to sand it, and then apply any paint or varnish.
- If a single layer of paint or varnish of dense texture is applied to the surface of the panel, then this surface needs to be re-sanded. After that, it needs to be painted with a second layer.
- Before covering the lining with paint or varnish, be sure to treat the surface with a special mixture that will not allow mold or mildew to form.
- Before starting the main painting, you need to do a test to understand exactly how the paint or varnish will go. A small experiment can be safely carried out on an ordinary piece of wood or on a piece of lining that remained after the repair.
- When choosing materials to create a flawless interior, consider the fact that for the ceiling you need to choose panels with a flat, not embossed surface. As a rule, wider panels look better at the top, and narrower ones on the wall.
- If you do not want the relief of the panels to stand out, then it is better to give preference to matte or semi-matt paints.
