Do you enjoy mountain hiking or rock climbing, do you like arrangements full of mystery, or are you simply a fan of unusual solutions in interiors? If so, then maybe it is worth creating a substitute of mountain climate at home - a rock wall. This solution will be an original highlight of the bedroom, bathroom, living room, or office. Unusual, spatial motif will attract the eye and give the interior an avant-garde character.

Nature Inspirations
Nature is a great source of inspiration. Stone in the interior, despite its austere appearance, can look artful and elegant. It is a simple, but also extremely sophisticated material. Properly composed, it will add a solid and decisive character to the interior. It will certainly suit interiors decorated in industrial, loft or ascetic style.

Artificial rock
One of the most interesting ideas for creating a rock wall is to build an artificial rock from concrete and mortar for wall decoration. This is handled by specialized sculpture companies, which create very accurate and natural-looking reproductions. Some compositions are characterized by great complexity, incorporating rock shelves, overhangs or stairs, so in addition to the paint layer, the walls have solid support structures, which most often use various types of steel for this purpose. Artificial boulders and stones are often indistinguishable from natural ones.

Plaster - stripped or created from scratch
Textured walls can be created by ripping off old plaster and reinforcing it, or by creating it from scratch. Ready-mixes allow you to create a decorative plaster on any substrate.

Spatial wallpapers and wall murals
Wallpaper imitating stone is a relatively inexpensive option for those who want to highlight their arrangement in an original way. It can be a flat or spatial wallpaper. If it has a multidimensional structure, the whole interior will take on a bold and mysterious character. They can resemble slate, sandstone, marl or marble.

The right lighting
The fantastic effect of the rock wall is inextricably linked with the play of light and shadow. On the intricate, disjointed form, both the sun's rays and artificial lighting will diffuse, emphasizing the three-dimensionality of the structure. It is worth remembering that the light should fall from the side, perpendicular to the direction of the pattern.
