7 Steps to Perfect Wallpaper: A Guide for Homeowners in the Denver Metro Area

Updated June 2025

Choosing the right wallpaper can dramatically enhance the look and feel of your home. Whether you’re renovating a room or starting from scratch, these 7 steps will help you avoid common mistakes and ensure a long-lasting, stylish result. Here’s what every homeowner in the Denver metro area should consider.

πŸ–¨οΈ Quality of Printing and Production

Always 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.

🎯 Material Quality

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.

πŸ›‘οΈ Durability and Sustainability

Select wallpaper with a protective coating if durability is a priority. Great for:

  • Entryways

  • Children’s rooms

  • Commercial environments

Also consider fade resistance if the wall receives direct sunlight β€” especially important in bright Colorado homes.

🧰 Installation Technology

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

🌱 Ecological Considerations

Eco-conscious choices include:

  • Water-based inks

  • PVC-free materials

  • Products certified for indoor air quality

These are especially important for bedrooms, nurseries, and eco-friendly homes in Colorado.

Balance your budget with performance. Higher price doesn’t always mean higher quality β€” look for:

  • Reputable brands

  • Reviews and product history

  • Cost per square foot, not just roll price

🎨 Themes and Patterns

Choose designs that reflect your personality and space. Consider:

  • Large patterns for open spaces

  • Subtle textures for small rooms

  • Color coordination with furniture and lighting
