Everything you need to know to choose the perfect wallpaper
We give you all the keys to choosing the ideal wallpaper for your luxury interior design project in Madrid .
First, let's talk about the type of wallpaper backing, as it's the part that comes into direct contact with the wall. In this regard, we need to differentiate between non-woven and paper-based wallpaper.
TNT ("non-woven fabric") wallpaper is the most widely used today due to its ease of installation and high durability, two key features we look for when choosing this type of designer covering.
On the other hand, "paper" support , although more widely used in the past, is less recommended today due to its poorer quality of resistance and installation.
We therefore recommend choosing non-woven paper whenever possible , as the benefits it provides are very significant and it is the standard in current interior design.
The next aspect to consider is the wallpaper finish , that is, the visible part of the wallpaper once it's already on the wall. There are basically two types: vinyl and non-vinyl .
The former offer three main benefits: their waterproofing, high durability, and ease of cleaning . For this reason, they are most commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and children's rooms, as these are the areas most subject to stress in the home. Thanks to technological advances, they are now available in both satin and matte finishes, something that interior designers have long demanded.
Wallpapers with non-vinyl finishes have the print made directly onto the paper itself, and although they may be more aesthetically attractive due to their characteristic matte finish, this makes them more exposed to possible scratches or knocks .
Nowadays, in addition to these two main finishes, we find new developments such as embossed papers or sound-absorbing wallpapers , which, in addition to providing a unique design to our spaces, allow us to soundproof an environment.
The beauty of wallpaper lies in its ability to transform a room simply by modifying the walls. Thanks to the multitude of patterns and designs available today, using this designer covering is considered by many to be a form of expression close to art.
As a final consideration, it's very important to know how to adapt the wallpaper you choose to the space where it will be installed, as it will vary greatly depending on the size of the wall. In this regard, we recommend seeking expert advice on both the number of rolls and the size and format of each roll.
