Choosing Wallpaper for a Room: These Life Hacks Will Help You Avoid Making Mistakes During Renovations, Advises a Designer

Wallpaper is a finishing material that is extremely diverse.

That is why it is worth approaching the choice of wallpaper sensibly and with discretion.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI on issues of interior design and interior design, will tell you what points to pay attention to.

Wallpaper selection criteria

When choosing a material for wall decoration, it is important to consider several characteristics.

First, pay attention to the type of wallpaper. They can be paper, non-woven, vinyl, textile, and also made from natural materials, such as bamboo.

Paper ones are not suitable for rooms with high humidity, so it is better to choose waterproof varieties for the kitchen.

It is also important to pay attention to the characteristics of vapor permeability and light resistance. The first value should be no less than 100 grams per square meter, the second - no less than 6 points out of 8. This is the only way to guarantee that the wallpaper will not peel off the walls.

Also note that wallpaper is never bought in bulk, because if there is not enough, you risk starting the whole process over again if it goes out of stock.
