Wallpapers are the next best thing to paint but they offer a lot more assorted designs and patterns that you can get. You can be highly creative with them; you can have the design you want to have printed and that will be done just the way you like.

Now with the technology the wallpapers have become extremely easy to install now, there are wallpapers in the shape of tiles with different engravements and you can stick them to the wall, and they will be done.

Now there are as many types as possible of wallpapers available just like the number of diverse types of paints available in the market. The first one that put the flag done for wallpapers was paper, yes you read that right that it all started with just 100 percent paper. But now it is not so famous because of all the new types of varied materials and versatility. These papers are made from trees just like other papers and these are installed by gluing onto the wall, but it is of a low gloss kind and not shiny, but these paper type of wallpapers have a classic matte finish to them.

The next thing that comes after simple paper wallpapers is the non-woven wallpapers. These are made up of fibers obtained naturally mixed with vinyl material. This creates a mix that is highly breathable and durable, these are installed also with glue. All are in long sheets so applied in a flowing way from top to down.

Then on the third comes the vinyl wallpaper this is by far the most durable wallpaper and is available in its own three types which we will discuss later. The vinyl wallpaper can easily accept the stress of daily life and does not wear off as easily as the paper and non-woven wallpaper does.

The vinyl is solid vinyl which means that it is made of complete vinyl. It is the best of them all stings you can wash it, scrub it and it is also scratch-resistant for pets and kids. It is ideal for the kitchen, bathroom, and areas where the work might get a lot or a bit messy. The two other options are vinyl-coated and fabric-backed vinyl. In vinyl coated the vinyl, the coating is done on the paper, and the other fabric-backed vinyl is the strongest style of wallpaper that you can have for yourself. It has industrial-grade fabric which is used in hotels and airports and big corporate events.

The other styles that you can get are pre-pasted wallpaper these come in the shape of squares or wallpapers. These come with a backing that is made up of glue stuck on it and then you can just install it as you can also apply somewhat on the backside of it to activate the glue.

Another style is natural grasscloth as the name indicates it is made up of grass it is also like the sisal carpet that is used mostly it all is made in Asia and then shipped to their desired locations.
