Which Wallpaper Material is Right For Me?
Choosing the Right Wallpaper for Your Space: Traditional, Luxury Peel & Stick, and Faux Grasscloth
Wallpaper can truly transform a room—whether you’re covering an entire wall or just adding an accent. But with so many options to choose from, how do you decide which one is right for your space? At Ayara, we offer three distinct types of wallpaper: Traditional Wallpaper, Luxury Peel-and-Stick, and Faux Grasscloth. Each one has its own unique benefits, and we’re here to help you understand which material will work best for you! Let’s break it down! ✨
1️⃣ Traditional Wallpaper: The Classic Choice
Pros:
Traditional wallpaper is the way to go if you’re looking for a seamless finish and high durability. Here’s why this is a favorite for many:
-
Finish: The beautifully textured matte finish gives it a high-end, polished look. Plus, it’s great for ceilings—so go ahead, make a bold statement up there!
-
Durability: This material is great for low, medium, and some high-traffic areas, too! It’s easy to clean. Just wipe off smudges or fingerprints with a slightly damp cloth, using a small amount of soap if needed, and you're good to go!
-
Installation: We recommend professional installation or some experience with booking and double-cutting wallpaper. Requires paste, is easy to adjust during installation, and the 1" overlap makes it easy to line up your pattern as you go.
-
Long-term investment: This is a permanent application, so once it's up, it's staying up! (And it's not going anywhere anytime soon!) It can be removed later on, of course, but it is a bigger process than our luxury removable wallpaper!
💡 Best for: High-traffic areas, creating seamless designs, and people looking for a long-lasting, professional finish.
2️⃣ Luxury Peel & Stick Wallpaper: The DIY Dream
Pros:
If you’re a DIYer or renter, this is your go-to option! There isn't a higher-quality peel and stick walllpaper on the market. It's easy to apply and easy to remove without any mess. Here's why it’s awesome:
-
Installation: This one’s a breeze! No paste needed—just peel off the backing and stick it to the wall! It comes with about a 0.5" overlap making it easy to match up the pattern (no trimming required) and is perfect for quick, easy application. We can install one wall in about 45 minutes! It also works on no, low, and medium-textured walls.
-
Durability: It’s great for low-traffic areas, but still has a durable, luxury-textured matte finish that feels high-end. It’s breathable, so if air gets trapped behind, it can be pushed out of the woven material.
-
Removable: One of the biggest perks? You can remove it in under 5 minutes with zero damage to the walls! Perfect for renters or anyone who loves change.
-
Cleaning: Gently clean with a soft cloth. Avoid any soap or chemicals! This one ranks lower on cleanability when compared to our traditional wallpaper.
💡 Best for: Renters, DIYers, and people who want to switch things up without commitment! It’s a great option for accent walls or spaces that need a temporary, stylish update.
3️⃣ Faux Grasscloth: The Textured Beauty
Pros:
Want the look of grasscloth without the price tag? Faux grasscloth has you covered, offering that gorgeous texture and the ability to install on walls or ceilings. Here's why it's special:
- Installation: Like our traditional wallpaper, faux grasscloth requires paste and double-cutting. It’s a similar process to the traditional, so if you’re familiar with that, this will be a smooth experience.
- Finish: It has an intricate, textured finish that mimics the look of real grasscloth—perfect for creating a unique atmosphere in your space. It’s also perfect for both walls and ceilings.
- Cleaning: Our faux grasscloth can be gently wiped with a soft cloth to but should be handled with care!
💡 Best for: Those wanting the textured look of grasscloth at a more affordable price, and those who want a traditional installation with a fun, natural vibe.
Important Note About Color Variations:
Since each of our wallpaper materials has a slightly different base, colors may vary slightly from material to material. For the best results, we recommend first ordering a sample of your design in the material you plan to use so you can see it in person before ordering your wallpaper panels.
Which Wallpaper Is Right for You?
It all depends on your project needs! Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Traditional Wallpaper: Best for long-term, high-traffic spaces or dark, saturated prints.
- Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper: Perfect for renters, DIYers, or anyone who wants an easy-to-apply, removable option.
- Faux Grasscloth: A beautiful, textured alternative to real grasscloth that adds a touch of organic charm.
