How Do Wall Coverings Work?

July 18, 2022 by Tree Towns Digital Decor

In these situations and more, custom wall coverings can be a simple and effective way to completely change the look of your rooms without the need for costly reconstruction.

In order to choose whether wall coverings are a good choice for you—and what types can help you achieve your goals—you must first learn more about how they work and what they do. Here’s what you need to know to make that decision.

What Are Wall Coverings?

Wall coverings, as their name suggests, are materials used to cover walls and alter or improve their aesthetic appeal. Wall coverings are not limited only to sheets skin to wallpaper; they also include fabrics, wooden decorations and even artwork.

Each type of wall covering has its own benefits and disadvantages, so learning more about how they work is an important part of picking the right one for your interior space. When it comes to choosing the right covering for you, it’s not just about the visual aesthetic—each type of wall covering has several meaningful, functional uses as well.

What Do Wall Coverings Do?

Wall coverings change the visual appearance of your space without needing to change any large features, like the locations of walls or windows. Some wall coverings help to reflect light and brighten your space to cut down on utility costs.

Others can eliminate unwanted echoes in busy areas or keep a space feeling intimate and quiet. You can customize some types of wall coverings to incorporate your company logo, artwork that is important to you or even useful information for visitors. The function and aesthetic utility of wall coverings are limited only by your own imagination.

The Advantages of Custom Wall Coverings

Custom wall coverings can be easily adapted to your needs and personal style, which means that you can select from a wide variety of options to achieve the ideal design and function that your space needs. Some of the benefits that custom wall coverings provide include:

1. Acoustic control

These walls may still echo even when a group of people are conversing at a normal volume of indoor speech. It may also be hard to pick out details in conversations even if you are standing right next to a person.

If this sounds like your space, custom wall coverings can cut down on the noise. Try wooden slats or textured coverings that will absorb noise rather than bounce it back into the room. You could even opt for acoustic art—artworks and installations made with special materials that absorb sound. What’s masquerading as a beautiful painting could serve double duty as a sound dampener!

2. Easily maintained

Custom wall coverings are often much simpler to clean and keep pristine than other, more traditional forms of wall coverings and designs, such as interior paint. If your paint chips, stains or peels away, you need to think about matching the color, applying it so that it blends it, allowing sufficient time for it to dry and keeping people away and protected from the paint’s chemical compounds as it dries.

With custom wall coverings, most options are made of sturdy materials like vinyl, which you can scrub clean. Most stains can be rubbed away with soapy water, and custom coverings are resilient against scuffs and dents.

3. Customizable

Unlike wallpaper, which you can browse and purchase in a store, wall coverings are customizable and made special to order. Whether you want to show off your brand logo or print your menu in a stylish font across your wall, there’s no limit to the options that custom wall coverings offer.
