The corner of the wall in the apartment is wiped. Decorative wall corners

It is not for nothing that the expression “secluded corner” appeared, which carries not a geometric meaning, but the concept of a comfortable organization of space, a calm place in which it is pleasant to be. Since ancient times, the corner has occupied a special position: in Orthodoxy, this is the most fertile place in the house, in the Taoist practice of Feng Shui, it is a mystical space that “pumps out” negative energy. Today, few people give it a magical meaning, but an empty corner in a residential building looks sad. When a large part of the population lives in cramped apartments, functionality becomes one of the most important criteria for home design. In addition to internal corners, you can and even need to pay attention to external ones: they are the most susceptible to shock loads, and they must be provided with sufficient strength.

How to finish the corners of the walls in the apartment

First, let's look at several ways to decorate the outer corners. They are not protected by anything and due to frequent interaction with other objects (friction, impacts, etc.) they quickly become inappropriate: the wallpaper is torn off, the paint sticks, cracks and chips appear, light walls at the joints they darken, get dirty, and scuffs appear on the dark ones. To prevent such consequences, there are many high-quality methods, and most importantly - stylish options for finishing the outer corners. Huge selection finishing materials allows you to decorate the walls in the most unusual solutions.

Plastic corners for walls (colored and white)

One of the most practical ways to decorate external corners in an apartment is plastic corners. They are often used in conjunction with perforated metal profiles, which allow, at the stage of leveling the surface for painting or wallpapering, to give an uneven corner an ideal geometry. Such a “duet” will surely make the corners stronger and, of course, visually improve them. Plastic corners perfectly perform their functions without mounting profiles, namely:

  • fully protect the corners at the joints of the walls from various traces, chips and scratches;
  • hide existing problem areas;
  • mask the transition from one type of finish to another, zone the room;
  • eliminate gaps and gaps between wall panels;
  • enhance the look and refresh the wall decor.

White corners are the most widespread, as they look neutral in almost any interior. Multi-colored options (including those reproducing various textures) look original and can be used as an element of any style in the interior, and contrasting wall colors will divide the room into zones.

But most often the corners are selected to match the partitions or from similar raw materials. The main materials from which the products used for decorative purposes are made:

  • PVC;
  • polystyrene;
  • polyurethane;
  • silicone;
  • wood;
  • metal.

The most popular is the PVC corner. Reasons for its popularity:

  • easy material processing (can be cut to right size);
  • flexibility (suitable for arches or other plastic shapes and curved surfaces);
  • simple installation (you can glue it quickly, even with your own hands, lasts a long time);
  • wide color palette;
  • democratic value.

Its use is also very popular in the bathroom at the junction of plumbing with the wall. It is impossible to do without installing decorative plastic corners in areas of constant physical activity (for example, vestibules, window and door slopes). Also, the appearance directly depends on their size, shape and texture.
For fixing, the following means are used:

  • liquid Nails;
  • acrylic sealant;
  • silicone sealant;
  • bead nails;
  • self-tapping screws.

It is important to remember that each material has its own way of connecting to the surface. It is necessary to take into account its combination with the wall covering (for example, plastic corners are not suitable for wall cladding made of wood).

Finishing the corners in the apartment with decorative corners is one of the most practical and convenient ways.

Corners from any material can continue the skirting on the walls

Universal flashings for windows and doors

Door and window flashings are designed to tightly close a certain hole, gap or potentially vulnerable spot (for example, a seam, a joint between surfaces). They not only eliminate the visibility of the gap, but also prevent drafts. The flashings can be internal and external. For the most efficient you can use both options: the first will answer in more for practicality, the second - for aesthetics. Universal flashings are usually used for windows and doors. They come in a variety of materials:

  • plastic;
  • wood;
  • metal.

The choice of product depends on the material of the finished surface. The color scheme and texture of the decor item should be based on the parameters and features of your window profile.

Window flashings are used as protection polyurethane foam at the junction of the frame and the opening (because the foam does not tolerate ultraviolet radiation and eventually becomes unusable), as well as for its intended purpose - as additional protection from the wind. For the finished seam window frame and slope use a silicone-coated flashing. When installed on reverse side apply a special self-adhesive layer (otherwise, self-tapping screws or screws are used). As a waterproofing agent, flashings are often used in the bathroom. This item is durable, resistant, unpretentious to climate and humidity.

Wooden corners

The design of external and internal corners with wooden objects is very popular. Wood is the most environmentally friendly material for corners of all types with increased strength characteristics. Most often, products are used to decorate the corners of door and window openings, walls. But the last design ideas made the corner in demand for all kinds of decorative solutions, so today they can be used regardless of wall covering. Their combination with laminate or furniture made of the same type of wood is welcome.

These models are somewhat more expensive than plastic ones, but the price is justified by their appearance and quality.

Finishing corners with natural stone

The stone is one of the oldest building materials, does not lose popularity today. Such cladding in the interior always looks expensive, creates a feeling of a slight touch of antiquity, which gives the room a special charm.

Finishing natural stone– pleasure is not cheap, as it is environmentally friendly and safe material besides, heavy-duty and durable. AT modern world, filled with technical devices, low-quality plastic consumer goods, a person sometimes wants to feel a little closer to nature. A wonderful feeling of unity will contribute to the decoration with natural stone, even in small quantities (for example, in the corners of the apartment).

It is the joints of the walls that are subjected to greater pressure from the owners, so finishing with natural stone will protect them from damage by 100%. It is important to consider that some types of raw materials require periodic care (washing, brushing).

The disadvantages include the fact that, if used incorrectly, framing the corners with natural stone can bring gravity into the space. But with proper use, even the internal joint, allocated to a separate zone, will be very cozy and neat.

To decorate the corners in the apartment, the following breeds are used:

  • sandstone;
  • slate;
  • limestone;
  • dolomite.

The following types are used mainly for the exterior cladding of the building, however, they can be found (in exceptional cases) in the finishing of corners inside the apartment:

  • marble;
  • granite;
  • river and sea pebbles.

Natural stone for finishing can be in its original form (chipped, torn natural relief) or processed. Many resulting factors depend on this (for example, whether damage will be noticeable on it, style, and, of course, cost). It is not recommended to cover the stone with paint.

Many types of masonry are used - plate, plateau, castle, rondo, assol, etc.

Finishing corners with artificial stone and brick

Today, decorative stone trim is in great demand. There are many reasons for this, they are quite justified:

  • artificial stone protects corners from mechanical damage not worse than natural;
  • the material is light, comfortable and practical, does not require special care(because it is smoother, it is enough just to wipe it with a damp cloth);
  • with the help of modern technologies, it is possible to recreate almost any type of stone with amazing accuracy, keeping within a smaller budget;
  • looks stylish and modern, not so heavy.

Artificial stone is compatible with almost all types of materials, so it can be successfully combined with other design solutions in a variety of styles, since the shape, color, relief and dimensions can be completely individual. It is more suitable for painting, easier to operate at the finishing stage.

Depending on the manufacturing technology, there are several types of decorative stone:

  • rubble (similar to boulders and pebbles);
  • chipped (imitates raw rock);
  • sawn (clear geometry, unpolished surface);
  • mosaic (imitation of many small stones, fitting to a specific composition);
  • brick (imitates various types of brickwork);
  • tiled (similar to natural polished stone).

And not so long ago there was another completely unusual view- fantasy. He has complex shape and colors not found in nature.

Also, natural brick is often used as a decorative finish. However, it cannot be attributed to natural stone but it is not synthetic.

More often facing corners are used in the hallway. This is due to the fact that most of the dust and dirt accumulate in this room, but you can get rid of them with such a finish quite easily (using only water). If you decide to use household chemicals to clean the surface, then it will not spoil the material at all.

Kinds decorative stones can be combined, creating unusual images and ornaments.

Corner protection with moldings and MDF panels

Molding is an overlay decor in the form of a three-dimensional plank, it gives any object a more complete, expressive and sophisticated look. Most often, moldings are found from plastic:

  • polyurethane;
  • polystyrene;
  • foam.

These materials are resistant to external influences, characterized by an affordable cost.
Also found in:

  • gypsum;
  • marble;
  • tree.

They are more expensive and not as practical as modern plastic ones, so they are more often used in the design of historical interiors.

Decorating with a three-dimensional plank is especially often used to protect corners at the junction of walls and ceiling, floor. We are well acquainted with ceiling and floor moldings - the so-called skirting boards. The decor for the corners of the ceiling can be within a certain style and combined with other decorative elements (for example, stucco, bas-relief).

Corner moldings for framing external corners are used if ordinary plastic or wooden corners do not fit the style of the room.

Corner tiling and mosaics

In some rooms, walls can be tiled (in the bathroom, in the kitchen). At the junction of surfaces, special inserts are used - trims that play the role of corners. They are attached to the tile using silicone or acrylic sealant. There is also such a type of tile as a corner tile, it will allow you not to interrupt the masonry, but to make a smooth transition from one surface to another.

High-quality and stylish mosaic masonry will decorate the walls no worse than any other type of decoration. Materials can be synthetic or natural. Corner joints in any of these cases may not necessarily be framed with decorative corners, it is enough to bring the ends of the tiles of the most visible (front) side to the surface of the less noticeable (side) part mosaic cladding. Mosaic can be glass, plastic. You can decorate the joints in this way in the form of any pattern or ornament.

We fill empty corners in the apartment

Not all corners require finishing and cladding. Most of the internal joints remain unfinished, but the free space in them is successfully filled various elements decor.

On the shelves you can arrange your favorite figurines, awards, stylish accessories that complement the interior, just cute things. The shelves are well stocked with books. Their types are extremely diverse:

  • wall;

The most problematic rooms in the apartment in terms of storage are the entrance hall, kitchen, bathroom. It is here that residents most often do not know how to place all the necessary things compactly without prejudice to appearance. Here are some tips: in the hallway, corner shelves can simultaneously serve as clothes hangers or stands for shoes and bags, and in the kitchen they put small appliances and utensils.

Modern designers offer many unusual ways the location of the shelves in the corners, as well as their sharing with racks. They can continue on the walls, even run around the entire perimeter of the room.

Also, expensive and especially valuable vases can be placed on special stands. Containers can be an independent element of decor or they can contain artificial or natural flowers, natural and decorative branches, bamboo stalks. The filling of the vase can be changed depending on the mood, season and other factors. If one pot looks distant in the corner, you can add "companions" to it.

If you place them in the corners, it will significantly enliven the space, complete the image of the room. Lighting fixtures and various decorative figurines can be completely independently placed in a corner or on any other structure (on a shelf, whatnot, chest of drawers, in a closet, etc.). If you decide to choose floor version, then the main rule applies here - it must be sufficiently stable for its dimensions and “withstand” in the event of unforeseen mechanical interactions with it.

Now this trend is gaining popularity.

Now you are familiar with the many ways how and how to finish the joints of surfaces, so you can easily choose decor for the corners of the walls in the apartment, limiting yourself only to your imagination!

When you make repairs with your own hands, if you are not a professional in this matter, many questions arise that require immediate and right decision. This also applies to finishing the corners in the apartment. Corners are external and internal, rectangular and not very. And now the problem arose, how to put them in order, that is, if possible, straighten and decorate. Internal corners are often not very noticeable due to their curvature, because they are hidden under wallpaper or under decorative plaster and filled with furniture. Another thing is the outer corners. They are usually always in sight. But let's try to figure it out and find ways to solve this problem: during the repair, correct the curvature of the corners allowed during construction and somehow transform the corners.

So, internal corners walls can be aligned in several ways, and here are the two most common:

  • by plastering the corner and adjacent wall
  • corner correction with drywall

Plaster of any surfaces, as you know, the process is rather laborious, dirty and lengthy. If you decide to go this way, calculate in advance all the pros and cons. We need to see if the angle is far from perfect (90 degrees). If the error is too large, then there is a lot of work to be done, because along with the corner, you will have to plaster most of the wall. And more than 2 cm plaster cannot be applied, otherwise the thick layer will crack. And you will have to do this work several times, applying layer after layer. You need to figure out if you really need this ideal angle, or maybe you can leave everything as it is, limiting yourself to its decorative finish. If you still decide to plaster, use a metal corner called countershulz. The corner is pre-primed and the counter-shulz is glued onto the putty, slightly pressing it into the still soft putty mixture. This corner will provide the desired right angle. The contraschultz is equipped with a reinforced mesh on both sides along the edges, which will go under the plaster and thereby make the corner strong and even.

With help drywall You can even out a variety of irregularities on any surface. If the curvature of the angle is small (up to 2 centimeters), then use frameless way installation of drywall sheets. If more than 2 cm, then a frame is constructed from wooden bars or metal profiles and drywall is attached to them. The advantage of this method of aligning corners and walls is that with the help of drywall sheets you can achieve almost perfectly even walls and right angles in the room.

But there is a big minus - the room is getting smaller.

Which way to choose, decide for yourself. Whether or not to align the corners and walls is also a question for everyone to decide for themselves. And if you think that decorating uneven corners will be enough, read the article further.

If there are children or pets in the house, then the outer corners are especially vulnerable. The wallpaper will peel off decorative plaster fall off at the corners. Bad picture. But is there any way to exclude this process? Of course! After all, a lot of decorative building materials are now on sale that allow you to do this.

I chose plastic corners for myself to protect external corners in my corridor from damage. This outer corner, covered with wallpaper. We recently renovated and the wallpaper is still fresh.

But if you look closely, the corner looks like this: an ugly joint between different wallpapers.

I measured the height of the corner from floor to ceiling and bought a plastic corner from the hardware store. I cut off the desired size with ordinary scissors and smeared it with liquid nails inside.

And finally glued to the corner. Agree, so much better. Of course, it was possible to pick up a corner in a different color, but I wanted a contrast.

This is what it looks like up close. The corner in our corridor began to look neater and minor irregularities disappeared.

As you already understood, the outer corner can be leveled and protected from damage using plastic corners. Now we are talking about those corners that are glued directly on top of the wallpaper. They are available in hardware stores. different colors. The length of the corners is usually 3 meters, but the width is different: from the narrowest to the widest. You need to choose the width, depending on how much the corner is curved.

The larger the flaw, the wider the corner will need. Look at the photo below, in stores you can find rectangular and even semicircular corners. Before you buy, think about which corner is best for your case.

But there are also such corners that are glued to the outer or inner corners even before the wallpaper is pasted onto the walls. These corners are glued to the inner or outer corner, puttied and due to this the corner becomes much smoother. Wallpaper is glued on top, decorative plaster or other fine finishing is applied.


As mentioned earlier, with a plastic corner, you can close both the outer and inner corner and even the joint between the wallpaper. But then it will not be a corner, but a plastic strip. Some decorative plastic corners are provided with adhesive tape, removing protective layer with which, without the use of glue, you can stick plastic on the wall.

Plastic corners look good on walls with wallpaper. But with tiles The plastic doesn't fit very well. But if you don't mind a combination of plastic and tile, you can use them together.

There are plastic corners that look like metal, such corners can fit almost any tile.

For finishing external and internal corners of walls with ceramic tiles You can also use ceramic corners.

If the outer (or inner) corner is far from perfect, you can hide its flaws under a decorative stone.

In construction stores you will find the shade and shape of artificial stone that you like.

Rational organization of space implies thoughtful functionality and decor of the corners in the apartment. But in any house there are not only internal and external corners that must be properly protected from mechanical stress and destruction. In a small apartment of a typical layout, it is important to think over the arrangement of all corners so that every square meter is endowed with useful functionality.

You should not decorate the corner with a low vase, with the exception of wide round vases.

If the vase interesting shape, bright colors or spectacularly painted, then it is not necessary to fill it with something, it is beautiful in itself.

But it is better to fill an inexpressive vase with stylish contents, for example, bamboo, reeds, spruce branches, original twigs, herbarium or artificial flowers, as in the photo of the decor of the corners.

Plastic wallpaper corners are glued on top for decoration, zoning and surface protection. Perforated products form and reinforce the junction line of planes before finishing putty.

Arched (with different sizes of shelves) products are used to frame curved surfaces.

There are advanced modifications of PVC corners:

  • flexible self-adhesive, repeating any given joint configuration (internal and external corners, arched surfaces)
  • docking structures for corners formed PVC panels, slopes
  • combined with tape to facilitate the adhesion process when puttying

Creating a clear line is not the only purpose of the corners. Aesthetics is combined with decorating cracks, irregularities, chips and giving strength to the joint. Plastic will ensure safety under mechanical stress, will keep the protruding surface clean.

Advantages of PVC corners:

  • create a neat appearance of joints, decorate complex curved surfaces, arches
  • have resistance to abrasion, not under the influence of unforeseen mechanical loads
  • not subject to corrosion
  • the laminated film of the outer coating is inert to aggressive chemicals and gases
  • easy maintenance, do not require additional operating costs (painting)
  • low price compared to analogues made of metal or polyurethane
  • service life is unlimited
  • expanded range of colors
  • resistant to moisture (can be used for finishing corners in kitchens, sanitary and bathrooms)

To fix the corners, use:

  • liquid Nails
  • self-tapping screws
  • small (bead) nails without caps
  • acrylic sealant
  • colorless silicone sealant

It is important to remember: compounds that are designed for metal and glass destroy the structure of plastic! Before buying glue, you need to read the instructions, and pay attention to the scope indicated by the manufacturer.

Glue the corners carefully. Removing and re-gluing plastic leads to deterioration.

Arched products are designed for bending.

Cut out segments allow you to give a smooth shape that follows the given line of the opening.

Aligning the angle formed by two sheets of drywall begins with an assessment of evenness.

A level is applied to each side of the slope and littered is marked. If the joint has significant deviations, then a starting layer of putty is applied to the recesses and recesses like beacons.

The perforated corner is applied to the installation site and slightly pressed into the applied solution. Excess solution is removed with a spatula. The verticality (horizontality) of the installation of the corner is checked by a level. Correct the position of the plastic with gentle pressure.

After setting the mortar and fixing the perforated corner, proceed to the finishing putty. Finish work on the formation of corners by grinding the surface.
