The interior of an apartment can tell as much about its owner as its appearance. Everyone wants to stand out from the crowd at least with something and carefully select interior items for their home, trying to fill it with warmth, comfort and individuality. We propose to create an exclusive embossed wall panel that will look simply amazing and will decorate any room. It is somewhat reminiscent of chasing, but much easier to manufacture..

In order to feel comfortable at home, you need to think through every detail, and perhaps create it yourself. Even the most insignificant, at first glance, decorative element can radically change the atmosphere of the house. Since ancient times, people have decorated their homes with paintings, flowers, animal skins, and paid huge sums of money for art objects. But it is much more pleasant to create something original with your own hands, and, every time passing by your masterpiece, be proud of yourself.
So, let’s start making an embossed foil wall panel. It only takes us 30 minutes.
