5 Wallpaper Myths That Needs to Stop

Wallpaper has never gotten out of style. We always think that old people like our grand parents have this in their homes so we think its already out of the trend. 

The truth of the matter is, wallpaper is still on demand up until this digital age. It's just that many people just improvised the material, the look, the style, and the installation process. 

A lot of companies offer the Peel and Stick option. This is great for renters, and to those who are fond of DIY interior designing. Ours, which is traditional and needs adhesive, we cater to professional interior designers, commercial spaces as it is more durable. 

Now, we dive in to the top 5 wallpaper myths and debunk them. 

1. Wallpaper is old style.

This custom wallpaper mural is a testament that it is not outdated. The most popular design of our influencer collaborations on the wallpapers are usually used for an accent wall. 

This space instantly went from boring to tropical beachy vibe. Notice how this is already a small bar inside her home? She just made it extra ordinary by adding the mural making it feel as if she is in Hawaii. 

These custom murals are fully customizable and personalized based off on your choice and wall size. 

2. Wallpaper needs thorough maintenance

Absolutely not true. Many people buy our wallpapers and use them in their powder room and bathroom. Can you imagine the moisture the room gets when people are showering or just using the lavatory? 

The  materials on our wallpapers are durable that make it so perfect for these types of spaces. If you are looking for wallpapers, to add a statement or accent wall, or you are looking for a bold patterns that will enhance the over all look of the space, you can consider bold and minimal prints like what Miriam (One of our influencers) used in this design. 

Incorporate this wallpaper to your black or white decors and it will perfectly blend with them just like what you see on the photo. 

3. The concept of wallpaper is too feminine.

This is absolutely not true. Look at this maximalist design by Warm House Story.

Wallpapers are universal. The wallpapers will adhere to your design and palette.

That's why there are a lot of options now, if you don't like a more feminine look, you can choose geometrics, textured, grasscloth, plain ones and in darker shades like black textured wallpapers or wall coverings.

This space created an emotional connection. The space seems too spacious and in a castle like setting. We understand that minimalism has been on trend in the last decade but there are a lot of experts like Warm House Story who walks otherwise as they know for sure the rules of designs. 

4. Wallpaper is expensive, and labor costs can add up quickly

Labor intensive is not an issue as to the many interior designers and trade partners we work with. The pros of hiring an installer to do it for you is that there are times that when done DIY, the wallpapers are not attached to the wall very well and sometimes the number of rolls are not calculated accurately. 

There were many instances that the customer ordered more rolls because they damaged it themselves or they lack the right tools to calculate the right number of rolls. 

Trade partners and interior designers on the other hand are scheduling the installer when they receive the package from us. You may need to stash extra cash though but the results is extraordinary. 

5. Wallpapers are only for "walls"

We have partnered with Jo Rohal on her projects because what she does is flipping old furnitures and sell them. 

She used some of our wallpapers in the drawer liners which fortunately created a whole different vibe out of the furnitures she fix and added more value on the pricing per furniture.

The good thing about having to incorporate wallpapers to your furnitures is that it transforms the entire look and feel of these. 

Some customers also use our wallpapers in their ceilings. You may check a wide variety of designs on our Pinterest, and Instagram as we feature some designs from our customers. 

We tell you, a little bit of adhesive won't hurt and won't ruin your furnitures and we guarantee this would turn out great. 

We acknowledge that there are certain average people who are not into wallpapers because of its infamous reputation. But as we debunked some of the myths, I hope we shed light of how this industry has evolved through out the years.
