What Makes a Wallpaper High Quality?

When choosing the best place to buy wallpaper, you should be able to compare quality, not just design. Here’s what actually matters:

Wallpaper Thickness

Thicker wallpaper is easier to hang, more forgiving during installation, and provides a better finish without seams showing. 

Too thin and it is very easy to tear or stretch and is generally of poor quality.

Choose the right material

Wallpaper TypeBest ForKey Benefits
Vinyl wallpaperBathrooms, kitchens, hallways               Washable, water-resistant, durable
Paste the wall Most installationsEasy to hang, breathable, 
Living room patterned wallpaper in pink
Villa

Paste to the Wall as opposed to Paste the Paper makes for an easier application. Most contemporary wallpapers are paste the wall and strippable. This makes them very easy to remove when the time comes.

Non woven is a word you will often see in relation to wallpaper. It is a good thing to look out for. Non-woven refers to the backing of the wallpaper. It was the transformation of wallpaper manufacture from the old school stuff that your grandma hated removing to the modern wallpaper we love now.
