How to decorate a heating pipe in a room

To create a holistic interior owners need to take care of all the details of the design of the various premises of housing. Special attention should be paid to the closure of unattractive communications. We considered the most convenient and practical options that tell how to decorate a pipe or a hood. In work can use improvised materials or special construction panels, sheets. Depending on the location of communication interchanges, different types of decor can be used. It is also important to remember the requirements of public services, which can limit the number and type of solutions for different nodes. Having carefully considered all kinds of decoration, the owners will be able to choose a permissible way to decorate communications, without disturbing the overall design style of residential and non-residential premises in the house.

Preparation for work

Before working with the creation of false walls, boxes should take care of the communications themselves. Damaged items or old connecting nodes should be replaced with new ones. So, it will turn out to prevent problems with their condition in the future. Above the heating elements it is necessary to install small ventilation hatches. This eliminates the possibility of moisture accumulation, poor heating of the premises. Moisture insulation should be provided around or under water pipelines. Thin rolled materials or tighter, cut to size boxes can be used for this tile counterparts. Their use will eliminate the accumulation of moisture and the destruction of the finish, the appearance of mold. As for the old metal communications, they should first be cleaned with sandpaper and covered with a new layer of paint (resistant to high temperatures, moisture).

Decor features

Before you beat the communication, you should consider some of the features and requirements for them. For example, the gas pipe in the kitchen can not be completely closed. The best solution for her would be decoration or painting. In living rooms, mounting false walls and boxes is allowed. If necessary, they can be supplemented with a grid or grill for ventilation. Any materials can be used for finishing and assembly: they will not be subjected to special impacts. But in the bathroom it is necessary to use only those materials that endure high humidity. These include lining, moisture-proof plasterboard sheets. To close the vertical communications, you can use different solutions: trim and decoration will not lead to a decrease in space. But horizontal communications should be closed only after careful consideration of the available solutions. After all, even a small trim can lead to limited space.


 

Painting

A striking and unusual arrangement of communications in any room of the dwelling will be helped by their stylization using paint. Solutions in this direction can be divided into the following types:

  • creating an accent. Great for heating systems in bedrooms and halls. For example, against the background of blue, turquoise, purple walls, yellow and orange batteries and wiring will look striking.
  • neutral clearance. For this method, the paint should be matched to the finish used. The optimal solution for communications, located in front of plain wallpaper, paint, tile.
  • stylization under the interior. To the toilet layout or layout in the bedroom with colorful tiles, wallpaper minimally stand out, it is recommended to supplement the one-color painting with thematic patterns, ornaments or drawings.

Using paint, it is possible to stylize vertical wiring under the tree in the corridor or children's room, living room. For this, a crown is depicted on the wall, and the tubes themselves act as a trunk.


Decoupage

A simple way to decorate communication in a living room or in the dining room is to conduct a decoupage. You can use decorative paper, a newspaper and even napkins with small pictures for it. Doing the work with your hands quite easily and quickly. For its correct implementation, you can use the following scheme:

  1. To clean the surface of communications fine sandpaper. Remove dust with a stiff brush.
  2. Cover communications with building glue that is resistant to temperature extremes, high humidity. It is recommended to do work in stages: conditionally dividing communications into several parts.
  3. Attach newspaper sheets and napkins pre-cut along the diameter of the communications over the glue.
  4. Carefully process the attached materials using a flat stiff brush, removing air bubbles and leveling the surface of the pattern.
  5. After the adhesive composition is completely dried, the paper materials are coated with acrylic varnish with a high degree of stability.

Use bamboo

The use of bamboo will help decorate communications in the kitchen, plumbing areas and living room outside the box. Hollow barrels with different diameters are sold in building and garden stores. It is recommended to select them, having previously measured the diameter of the made out communications. In this case, the selected bamboo internal cavity diameter should be at least 0.5 cm larger. Otherwise, there may be problems with their installation. Close communication with such posts is pretty easy. It is necessary to make 1-2 vertical cuts on bamboo. And then just put it on top of pipe communications. If necessary, one of the edges can be glued with glue for reliable fixation.

Choosing such an interior element as bamboo, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of its introduction into the general appearance of the room. Such a decision would be appropriate to look at the background of light brown linoleum or wooden flooring, wooden walls. It fits well in the eastern, Japanese style.


Drapery fabric

It is considered quite elegant to play around with PVC and old metal vertical communications with the help of cloth. This is a profitable solution for residential premises or premises where cooking is carried out. Usually, translucent tulle is used to close the communications. The same canvas should be used to close the windows. You can completely copy the curtains on the windows and use both light and thick sheets for draping wiring. In order for the chosen method to look harmoniously in the room, the eaves should be extended to the corner where the vertical communications are located and mounted next to them (on the next wall). Thus, the canvas in the floor will close not 1, but 2 walls at once. Dense sheets can be hung on one side of the window opening and near the communications. And you can use them near the pipe and on both sides of the window. The rest of the space is covered with translucent sheets.

Ropes

The original decor of vertical and horizontal communications can be held with ropes. It is not recommended to use the cheapest jute ropes (with an uneven surface) for work, as they quickly become covered with dust and it is difficult to remove. But neat smooth counterparts from jute (normal or painted) are suitable for use in living rooms, toilets. Vertical wiring with this material can be stylized under a tree, a palm tree. For such decoration in the upper part of braided communications, it is recommended to fix artificial greens, branches with plastic lemons or oranges.

In a small Khrushchev, using thin ropes, you can create original marine decorations. White cotton ropes are suitable for work. In this case, the horizontal wiring can not only braid, but also decorate the falling ropes. In addition to the sheath, you can glue small shells.

Stained glass and furniture cornices

The use of non-standard solutions for styling an apartment and hiding communications of gas, water, heating makes it easy to transform living rooms and dining rooms. It is recommended to use stained glass for vertical wiring. They can decorate living rooms, adults and children's bedrooms. The stained glass window will not only close the communications, but also become a stylish decoration. If behind the multi-colored glasses, framed by a wooden or similar case, to arrange the illumination, the finished object will become an auxiliary lamp. In the case when communications pass upstairs (ceiling placement), closing them with furniture curtain rods will be a profitable solution. They are installed on the side of cabinets, headsets on top and fixed under the ceiling. At the same time, access to communications remains simple, and the space around them is free.

Figured curtain rods fit the classic headsets, but are unlikely to complement the model with bright facades or chrome rails.


Drywall Box

Close the exhaust duct, wiring for plumbing is pretty easy using drywall. It is possible to assemble from it any kind of shape and size that allows you to change the layout of the room. At the same time all communications will be closed from prying eyes. This approach is applicable to hide chimneys. Work on the assembly of the structure is carried out as follows:

  1. The layout of the sides of the design relative to the closed communications. Requires consideration of the thickness of the plasterboard used for work.
  2. Tightening guide and carrier profiles.
  3. Screwing to the profile frame plasterboard sheets (pre-trimmed). For work in sanitary rooms it is recommended to take moisture-proof sheets, for residential premises - ordinary.
  4. Grouting and protection of joints, installation of additional elements (corners, sanitary hatches)
  5. Finishing design tiles, painting, wallpapering.


 

Laminated box, MDF

The assembly of structures made of wood-based panels and similar materials is suitable for communications located above the baseboards leading to the basement. Their base should be collected from the slats. The use of timber, boards allows you to quickly make a strong frame, supplemented by a raised door of MDF or a fixed top. With the help of rails you can assemble a fully removable design. From above it can be closed with laminate. The sizes and materials of different types of boxes are determined individually. The use of rails and laminate will lead to significant costs. Wood-based panels, plywood will be cheaper, but their appearance will be simpler. Therefore, this type of box is recommended to be made for rooms in which strict styling is not needed. The use of expensive laminate mainly for rooms with a dedicated stylistic direction (for example, modern, Provence, Scandinavian).


False walls

In a situation where the pipe layout has large dimensions and the creation of a small box does not solve the problem, you should make a full false wall. It is assembled from profiles and plasterboard sheets. The created ledge is recommended to be added with the sanitary hatch. This will allow owners to easily access communications and repair or replace them. False wall in sanitary rooms can be non-standard. To do this, boxes are assembled on the left and right, and plumbing roller blinds are hung on top of them. Such a solution will allow you to instantly gain access to the wiring, eliminate the leak and immediately implement a complete replacement of communications. The false wall itself can be covered with wallpaper or painted, tiled with tiles. Moisture-resistant gypsum plasterboards should be used as the basis.


Conclusion

Using the recommendations for decorating and closing communications, it will not be difficult for owners to choose the best way to style their housing. The simplest solution will be painting and painting the junction. But also communications under the sink, near the sink, can be easily sewn. Properly selected building materials will help to make a small projection or a full false wall in the form of a projection for storing cosmetics and towels without problems. The same method is optimal for residential premises, but other types of materials can be used in them: a more unusual type and with lower requirements for operating conditions. For example, it can be raw wood or polymer panels. Selecting the materials used for the application, practicality, shade and relief can correctly and at the same time be original to complement any stylistic direction.
