Claim:
A system for covering a surface of a wall, comprising: a plurality of first wall-covering elements; two mounting assemblies, each comprising a second wall-covering element and a connecting assembly adapted to releasably connect the second wall-covering element to the surface of the wall for covering; and a plurality of first coupling elements adapted to couple the first wall-covering elements to the mounting assemblies; wherein the system is configured such that the first wall-covering elements can be mounted via the first coupling elements on the surface for covering by means of the mounting assemblies; the second wall-covering elements at least partially cover the connecting assemblies and the first coupling elements after connection; and the upper surface of the wall covering comprises the upper surface of the first wall-covering elements and the upper surface of the second wall-covering elements; wherein each of the first coupling elements comprise: a plurality of first engaging members which each can be placed into engagement with one of the first wall-covering elements on a transverse side of this first wall-covering element; and a plurality of second engaging members which each can be placed into engagement with one of the second wall-covering elements on a longitudinal side of this second wall-covering element; so that the first wall-covering element is connected via the second wall-covering element to the connecting assembly of the mounting assembly.
