Vinyl Wallpaper

Vinyl wallpaper is very common and comes in different designs such as solid vinyl, vinyl coated, paper-backed vinyl and fabric-backed vinyl. It can easily change your room’s atmosphere and overall look in a really unique way. Arguably the most durable design, you can use solid vinyl to cover moist and humid rooms. Its waterproof design makes it perfect for the bathroom or kitchen. It is scratch resistant as well for areas prone to a little more wear and tear such as a child’s bedroom. Paper-backed vinyl wallpaper is thicker than the other designs and it is moisture and stain resistant. Consider these options for the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom.

You will be glad to know that vinyl coated wallpaper cleans easily. What is more, it is easier to remove when compared to solid vinyl. Cover the annoying defects on your wall with fabric-backed vinyl. It is thick enough and peels away quickly when you want to remove it.

Foil Wallpaper

Foil wallpaper is a blend of foil sheet and paper backing. Color choices are limitless and range from copper to silver or gold. Personalized designs can be screen-printed on the foil if you wish. The metallic sheen created by the foil wallpaper in a room beats what other products offer.

That glamorous allure you have always craved for can be provided by foil wallpaper. However, exercise caution when hanging as it tears easily. Also, ensure your wall is even and smooth before covering it with the foil wallpaper. Beware of the delicacy, however, when applied with great care, this style wallpaper gives the home a touch of luxury.

Grass Cloth Wallpaper

If you wish to go natural, then grass cloth wallpaper should be at the top of your list. It is made using woven grasses, for example, silk, jute, bamboo or arrowroot. With the grass fixed to a rice paper backing, its texture gives your room a natural earthy feel. This wallpaper offers a truly one-of-a-kind look with a range of colors to choose from. It would be for your own good not to use it in high-traffic areas, but instead reserve this as a way to open up those tucked away spaces.

Flocked Wallpaper

Fiber materials such as nylon or polyester are attached to an adhesive surface to create flocked wallpaper. The fibers are fixed firmly together to create a rich velvet feel and look. This also comes in different designs and imitates ancient tapestries.

Paintable Wallpaper

Paintable wallpaper offers different patterns such as molded plaster or carved wood. It is strong enough to cover high traffic areas like the staircase. If your walls have some defects or are uneven, you can use a paintable wallpaper to hide the imperfections.

Use a faux painting technique for an intense effect while lightly painting the raised areas of the wallpaper with dull colors to improve shadow depth. Any color can be used to paint the wallpaper. It depends entirely on your style and taste, but be sure to consider all of your options. Redesign your bedroom, living room, or kitchen using this high-end paintable wallpaper.

Non-Woven Wallpaper

Non-woven wallpaper allows for proper air circulation. It does not swell which makes it easier to apply. It can also cover uneven surfaces and hide any imperfections on your wall. Modern non-woven wallpaper is polymer-coated making it damage resistant and easy to maintain. Retouch your boring bedroom using this wallpaper in your preferred design or color.

Wallpaper offers a high degree of luxury and opulence that paint, among other decorating options, simply cannot achieve. If this sounds like something you would like in your home, you are free to try out any of the above.
