13.06.2024 02:30
Wallpaper, despite changing fashion, is still extremely popular as a finishing material.
However, there are several types of wallpaper - paper, non-woven and vinyl.
Which of these varieties should you choose?
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, emphasizes: there is no universal solution.
For some apartments, paper wallpaper is suitable, for others - non-woven, for others - vinyl.
Before making a purchase, you need to analyze a number of circumstances.
The following points are important: readiness to spend, presence of pets in the apartment, presence of unevenness on the walls, degree of illumination of the room, level of humidity in the room, etc.
Each type of wallpaper has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Pros and cons of paper wallpaper
Such finishing materials are relatively cheap. There is a huge selection in stores: it is very easy to find the right color and pattern.
But there are several disadvantages: paper deteriorates quickly, does not withstand “attacks” from dogs and cats, and does not “react” well to water.
Pros and cons of non-woven wallpaper
Non-woven wallpaper can cover up any unevenness on the wall. It is durable and easy to apply and remove.
At the same time, this material does not tolerate moisture. In addition, the appearance of glue stains is possible.
Pros and cons of vinyl wallpaper
They are also durable and are practically unaffected by direct sunlight.
Vinyl wallpapers are good at hiding wall imperfections. Cat claws are not a problem for this material.
However, the material can hardly be called absolutely safe.
