TYPES OF WALLPAPERS
There are three major ways to categorize: by material, application/ installation, and design.
The wallpapers that fall under these three categories range from vinyl, grasscloth, textile, and embossed to metallic, foil, textured and many others.
MATERIAL WALLPAPERS
- Vinyl wallpapers: These are the most popular type of wallpaper and are known for their durability, affordability, and easy maintenance. Most customers decide to opt for vinyl instead of regular paper wallpaper because they are more reliable and versatile.
- Grasscloth wallpapers: Grasscloth is another popular option, providing a natural, organic texture that adds warmth and depth to a room. Although these are more high maintenance when it comes to cost and installation, they are an excellent choice when opting for a feel of nature in your space. These wallpapers also have the paintable option as well.
- Textile wallpapers: These types come in a range of fabrics, including silk, cotton, and linen, adding an elegant touch to any space.
- Flock/ Embossed wallpapers: These are also another popular option for wallpapers. The term ‘flock’ refers to a raised velvet design on the wallpaper. It is perfect for adding simple elegance to a space. But be careful during installation, improper application of the adhesive can ruin the face of the flock.
- Peel and Stick: Just as the name implies, you peel and stick this wallpaper wherever you want. Its simple application makes it perfect for a rental apartment because it can easily come off your wall without damaging it.
APPLICATION/ INSTALLATION
- Self-Adhesive: If you don’t want to deal with any adhesive or wallpaper glue issues, this is a great option for you to use. Simply place it over a smooth, or painted wall and you’re good to go. it can also come in a variety of textures and designs to choose from.
- Paintable: This usually comes in vinyl texture or material, and it can be painted on. It’s a great pick that gives you control over the colour while maintaining a beautiful texture.
- Strippable: Strippable include all types of wallpapers except the peel-and-stick type. They refer to wallpapers you glue to the wall with an adhesive. These types are preferred over the peel-and-stick because of their durability. If you want your wallpaper on your walls for years and years to come, then the ones that need to be stripped off when taking them down, are your best option.
DESIGN WALLPAPERS
