The tile in the bathroom, cork floor in the kitchen and "bags" often refuse because of stereotypes. In practice, things are not so bad! The main thing to know how to use impractical materials so that they ceased to be.
1. cork flooring
Cork floors varnished hot application, which will not harm even the claws of pets. It can be used not only in living rooms, and even in the kitchen, hallway and bathroom. Cork tile is warmer, so many moments even more practical tiles.
Council: in wet areas, use a special cork on a waterproof base. And to use the cork for the walls in the house, where they live pets, it is not necessary.
2. Fabric on the walls
This decision is considered impractical, but in fact the fabric on the walls do not absorb odors and perfectly conceals irregularities of the walls. The fabric sits on a special adhesive for textile wallcoverings and can last for decades. If desired, the wallpaper can be removed, washed and stick back.
Council: so the only drawback of such a solution - a fabric collects dust. Therefore, the wall will have to be vacuumed once a week.
3. Carpets and other "dust collectors"
Many are afraid of open shelves, racks, brick, stucco, textiles and carpets in the interior because they allegedly do dusty house.

Council: solution to the problem would be a quality vacuum cleaner with aquafiltering to be traveled not only by gender, but also on the walls. And pretty expensive carpets on the wall can, for example, enclosed in a frame under glass.
4. The paint in the bathroom
Still remain those who are afraid to paint the walls in the bathroom. Of course, the paint is suitable not any - only silicone, acrylic or latex. Then, the surface can be treated with a protective polymer composition.
Council: if the walls in the bathroom are smooth, the paint will cost much cheaper than tiles. Until before selecting this option, it is necessary to test the ventilation system in the bathroom, otherwise the paint appearance may change over time not for the better.
5. Wallpaper in the bathroom
Even more stereotypes associated with the use of wallpaper in the bathroom. Ostensibly, they are there is a fungus, they wear out, lose presentable, if not come unstuck. It is important to know that the walls that are in direct contact with water, it is necessary tiled. For the rest of the suit washable wallpaper - vinyl or fiberglass.
Council: you can even use the wallpaper with paper top layer. But they will have to cover with a special varnish.
6. Large format tiles
On the floor tiles in size 60x60 cm and more can be found quite often, but for walls solved its use very often. Meanwhile, the larger the tile or granite, the smaller joints, and so will seem more spacious room. In addition, you can combine a large tile with a fine or with mosaics.
