How do I know which wallpaper to buy?

Wallpaper has become a must-have for interior design. All decorators and architects are fighting over it, and are always on the lookout for new products to complete their mood and inspiration boards. Panoramic wallpaper stands out and is popular because with it, you can play with spaces, colors, and themes. It gives depth, enlarges the room, and transports us.

Besides its devastating beauty, did you know that there are several types of wallpaper? Standard wallpaper, non-woven wallpaper, or even vinyl non-woven wallpaper… Do you know which one to choose in your situation?

Historical wallpaper, in brief

The origin: standard wallpaper

Wallpaper, everyone knows it. When this patterned or plain wall covering was created, wallpaper was only created using printable paper . Today it is called standard wallpaper.

Standard wallpaper is printed on thin paper and is often double-pasted (on the wall and on the paper). It is sometimes necessary to have a pasting table to make it easier to hang.

It is now neglected because it is difficult to handle due to tears, and installation can be tricky.

We often talk about installation... But let's also talk about removal! Standard wallpaper, being very thin and fragile, cannot be removed in one go. You will need a wallpaper stripper, or a very soapy sponge, with a little time in front of you...

Non-woven, a revolution in the world of wallpaper

What a bargain when non-woven wallpaper makes its appearance . Made of compacted wood fibres, non-woven stands out and its advantages appeal to many.

In terms of its composition, non-woven wallpaper is thicker (although check the weight of the paper when you buy it), it is easy to handle and resistant.

No more papering table, it is pasted directly on the wall. A joy for people like me, who at the end of the installation had glue everywhere.

Whether you are a beginner, amateur or experienced, non-woven wallpaper is ideal for installing.

Non-woven wallpaper is the must-have wallpaper.

It is also very easy to change, given its tear resistance. More good news for staying on trend!

Thanks to non-woven wallpaper, wallpapering has become so easy that anyone can get started. And it's also cheaper, because there's no need to buy a wallpapering table. So, are you ready?

Vinyl, adaptability to all challenges

The importance of decoration in every room of the house brings us to wallpaper, always non-woven but with a vinyl layer.

This type of wallpaper has the advantage of being covered with a thin layer of waterproofing . As a result, you can easily and without worry put it in your bathroom or in your kitchen! Vinyl non-woven wallpaper is resistant to humidity, and can be washed with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. It has all the qualities to make it a truly special wallpaper. On the other hand, be sure to check the composition, because the waterproofing is a good technique to add products that are not very clean for ourselves and our environment.

No more fear of smudging inks, premature wear and tear and peeling with vinyl non-woven wallpaper. We love this wall tapestry for its adaptability and resistance.

This type of wallpaper is also ideal in high traffic areas such as a hallway because its thin waterproof layer will make it more resistant if small hands are likely to touch it regularly. :)
