Local wallpapers: One of the fastest-growing design styles
Wallpaper is a quick way to add character, personality, colour and depth to any space. A great starting off point or the finishing touch to make the space feel put together. With an endless variety of colours, textures and designs, wallpaper can set a theme for your space and carry that theme throughout every area in the décor project. Wallpaper is not limited to domestic use only, but a popular choice for commercial use too: restaurants, hotels, offices etc.
Wallpaper is relatively inexpensive, conveniently installed by professionals, can last up to 10 years and easily cleanable, so definitely an alternative to the usual paint finish. One can wallpaper all walls in a room, or make a statement feature on one wall. Wallpapers can diversify from peaceful tranquilly to drama dramatic – the choice is yours.
These days, wallpaper comes mainly in two options – paper or vinyl. ‘Paper' is the most well known, referring that it is made entirely of paper without any coating on it. These provide a dry and matt finish, ideal for printing on : stripes, geometrics, florals, murals etc. ‘Vinyl' options usually have a paper base with a vinyl surface coating. The vinyl coating makes the wallpaper thicker, more durable, longer lasting and washable.
