Welcome to the wonderful world of wallpaper and tapestry. Are you a little lost and don’t know which one to choose for your project? Breathe, you’ve come to the right place. Below we present the different types of wallpapers, their advantages and how to choose the one that will suit you best.
1. Pre-pasted wallpaper : simplicity and precision
Pre-pasted wallpaper is a choice that is gaining popularity thanks to its ease of installation. This is relatively new. This type of paper is already impregnated with a dry glue, which is simply activated with water, unlike tapestry, which requires a more complex installation.
Benefits:
- Quick and clean installation: no need to add glue manually.
- Less expensive (and yes, no need to buy glue and brushes).
- Precise and professional result, even for beginners.
Disadvantages:
- Very heterogeneous paper quality on the market
Applications: This wallpaper is perfect for classic walls or smooth surfaces in spaces such as the living room, bedroom. or damp rooms like bathrooms.
2. Adhesive wallpaper : practical and reusable
Adhesive wallpaper, adhesive vinyl and also called peel and stick wallpaper, has a sticky layer directly on the back. Simply remove the protection and apply it to the wall. Think of it as a big band-aid.
Benefits:
- Glue and water-free installation, reducing the need for tools.
- Easily repositionable during installation.
Disadvantages:
- May lose its colors in the long term if exposed to friction
Applications: This type of wallpaper is ideal for small areas, wall customisations, splashbacks and all your projects where flexibility is essential, such as ephemeral installations.
3. Textured pre-pasted wallpaper : premium and textured
The premium pre-pasted wallpaper available at Wellpapers, is made of non-woven paper. It is a thicker, slightly textured paper made from a mixture of textile fibers and compressed cellulose. This paper combines the ease of application of classic pre-pasted with a high-end finish. It is handcrafted in Barcelona and cut by hand.
Benefits:
- Robust, tear-resistant material.
- Premium look, ideal for demanding professional or residential projects.
- Quick installation thanks to the adhesive already integrated.
Disadvantages:
- Less suitable for high-traffic areas (especially public places)
Applications: Recommended for large spaces without heavy traffic, at the risk of degrading its fabric fiber appearance
How to choose the right wallpaper for you?
The choice of wallpaper type depends on several factors:
- 1. Your level of skill in pose. Beginner? Opt for pre-glued or adhesive. Wallpaper with the glue on its own is more complex and the result is generally less qualitative.
- 2. The type of room and the size of the wall. For large spaces, choose a pre-pasted, textured or not. For a small space, a splashback or a furniture customization, rather adhesive. More information on which support to put wallpaper on.
- 3. The type of project. Temporary projects adapt better to adhesive paper, while renovations or professional decors require a high-end paper like our 2 pre-pasted papers.
