Types of wallpaper

The offer on the wallpaper market is so rich that it is easy to get confused in this variety.

Just 10-20 years ago, the appearance of wallpaper on our walls was associated not so much with a conscious choice, but with its... absence, because, in fact, wallpaper was the only available finishing material.

Today, the situation has changed dramatically and in addition to wallpaper, Ukrainians can choose from dozens of different types of interior decoration. However, wallpaper does not lose its popularity, and hundreds, if not thousands of different wallpaper design solutions are presented on the market.

In the living room and bedroom

Paper wallpaper — the least durable, but at the same time the most inexpensive type of wallpaper. They can only be glued to smooth, dry walls. Any traces of moisture immediately affect their appearance. Therefore, paper wallpaper is not recommended for use in rooms that are often and actively used (hallway, entrance hall)
Acrylic wallpaper more resistant to various types of damage, due to which they can be used in rooms that are used more intensively, such as living rooms. Acrylic wallpaper cannot be washed.

Fiberglass wallpaper - very durable, can be used for uneven walls. Such wallpaper can even be repainted, but they are quite expensive.
