ToggleAlways choose wallpaper printed with high-resolution techniques. Look for:
Color consistency
Pattern precision
Factory-quality control to avoid stretching or misalignment
This ensures a crisp and flawless appearance β especially important for murals and detailed patterns.
The base material affects both aesthetics and performance. We recommend:
Vinyl for high-traffic areas
Non-woven for easy installation and breathability
Fabric-based for luxurious spaces
Match material to the function and mood of the room.
Select wallpaper with a protective coating if durability is a priority. Great for:
Entryways
Childrenβs rooms
Commercial environments
Also consider fade resistance if the wall receives direct sunlight β especially important in bright Colorado homes.
Not all wallpapers are created equal when it comes to application. Ask about:
Prepasted vs. paste-the-wall options
DIY-friendly types (peel & stick)
Wall condition requirements

Reputable brands
Reviews and product history
Cost per square foot, not just roll price
