Non-woven wallpaper for a design house

Let’s forget old wallpapers – memories of houses where everything tasted old. Thanks to the new materials available on the market it is now possible to use wallpapers as a true interior design tool: draw lines, rejuvenate rooms and renew entire environments.

Wallpaper: potential and advantages

When compared to wall painting, the advantages are quick to see: with wallpapers it is possible to decorate each room in a different way and easily change it when we want – we may change it after a few years, not requiring long work. Moreover, we can play with full/empty or simple/complex effects, or even place it only in a section of the wall – behind the TV, around the windows, behind the bed header.
Furthermore, the potential of wallpapers from the point of view of an interior design enthusiast is virtually infinite: thanks to the very wide choice of fabrics, colours and designs on the market we can find abstract graphic patterns, macro prints, wall murals, vintage combinations or material effects.

Non-woven fabric wallpaper

Non-woven wallpaper is now one of the most modern and popular materials in interior design. It is composed of both textile and synthetic fibers, and its main characteristics are the similarity of the touch with a “real” fabric, its cheapness and resistance, the high water repellence – it is therefore suitable in combination with vinyl papers -, the excellent perspiration, its being completely washable and the resistance even at high temperatures. Furthermore, thanks to its resins, it can be washed or cleaned with great simplicity, simply by mixing a mild detergent with water.
Last but not least, this paper – unlike old wallpapers – does not need to be soaked, as its installation is fast and easy: just spread a layer of glue or adhesive paste on the wall and then apply the paper on it.
