PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Beyond aesthetics, choosing the right wallcovering is about balancing beauty with durability. In high-traffic or moisture-prone spaces like kitchens or hallways, Drapesy offers vinyl wallcoverings, valued for their exceptional strength, washability, and long-lasting finish. For more relaxed settings such as bedrooms or living rooms, our selection extends to non-woven, textile-backed, and natural wallcoverings that add tactile richness and warmth. Many designs come with a paste-the-wall application for easy installation, while others follow simple guidelines for a flawless fit. With proper care, these luxury wallcoverings retain their elegance for years, making them a lasting investment.
FAQs
Is modern wallpaper difficult to remove?
Gone are the days of spending hours scraping. Most contemporary wallpapers, particularly "paste-the-wall" types, are designed to be "strippable." This means they peel off in large, clean sheets, leaving the wall beneath in good condition and ready for a new look with minimal fuss.
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of each wall you intend to cover and multiply them to get the square meters. Always check the roll's label for its coverage. The golden rule is to account for the "pattern repeat" – the larger the pattern, the more waste you'll have when matching it up. It's always best to buy at least one extra roll just in case.
How should I clean my wallpaper?
For most standard wallpapers, a light dust with a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. For more durable vinyl or "scrubbable" papers, you can use a slightly damp sponge with a tiny amount of mild soap. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and never use abrasive cleaners.
Should I hang the wallpaper myself or hire a professional?
If you're a confident DIYer tackling a simple feature wall, hanging it yourself can be a rewarding project. However, for whole rooms, tricky areas like stairwells, or complex, expensive patterns, hiring a professional decorator will guarantee a flawless, long-lasting finish and is often well worth the investment.
Can I use wallpaper in a kitchen or bathroom?
Absolutely, but it's wise to choose carefully. Go for durable, scrubbable, or vinyl-coated wallpapers that can withstand moisture and humidity. Avoid hanging any wallpaper in areas of direct water contact, such as a shower enclosure or directly behind a sink without a splash back.
