Point wall paper has several types, and each, as will be shown, is made with a different material. Hence, they all have pros and cons. However, despite these slight differences, all the types have some fundamental properties that enable them to be used effectively as wall decorations.
Vinyl point wall paper is a very popular type of wallpaper due to its practicality. Vinyl wallpaper consists of a paper backing covered with a layer of vinyl. Sometimes, the vinyl is also embossed to add texture to the wallpaper. Due to its water-resistant property, it can be used in almost any room, even in kitchens and bathrooms. It is also quite durable and can be cleaned frequently without damaging the patterns.
Still, paper point wall paper is the most traditional type. This type of wallpaper is made from paper and comes in simple, non-embossed designs. Although less durable than vinyl wallpaper, it is more environmentally friendly and allows walls to breathe. It also comes in an extensive range of designs, and one of its major drawbacks is that it is less resistant to moisture and wear and cannot be cleaned like vinyl.
Another type is non-woven point wall paper made from a blend of natural and synthetic fibers. Non-woven wall paper has unique qualities that make it easy to apply and remove because the adhesive is applied to the wall rather than the back of the wallpaper. This kind of wallpaper is also very breathable, allowing air to circulate within the walls, which is ideal for humid conditions. In terms of design, this wallpaper type ranges from the very classic to the most contemporary.
The last type of point wall paper is foil wallpaper made of paper or fabric backing covered with a thin layer of metallic foil. Foil wallpaper adds a touch of elegance with its metallic finishes, which can range from matte to shiny. However, it also has some drawbacks: while installation is quite complicated and cannot be easily cleaned due to the delicate surface, it also has a tendency to peel at the edges.
Point wall paper has a variety of designs, and each design can be used to achieve different decorative styles depending on the room. The variety of design will fit every taste and occasion, from subtle elegance to bold statements in wall decor.
As discussed, geometric patterns are among the most popular designs of point wall paper, and some have even pointed out that it could be due to its versatility and modern appeal. Geometric patterns typically comprise shapes such as lines, triangles, and circles. Such patterns can be large and bold or, at the same time, have a finer and more understated point. These designs are quite useful in creating a feeling of order and symmetry and are especially well-suited to contemporary and minimalist interiors.
However, floral designs work best if one or more of the discussed designs is preferred. Floral designs in point wall paper range from realistic and densely illustrated to simple and stylized. Large-scale flowers are great to use when looking to make a statement, while small, delicate patterns can be used for more subtle accents, and, as mentioned, these can all be found in either embossed wall paper or non embossed wall paper. The variety in the point wall paper will add color and liveliness to any room and can be used in both modern and traditional interior designs.
Other classical designs like stripes and damask are also popular designs for point wall paper. The striped wallpaper can be placed both horizontally and vertically so that the room can appear wider or even taller, as desired. In contrast, damask patterns give the wall papers a royal and rich design. These designs work perfectly in formal living rooms, bedrooms, or other spaces where a touch of class and sophistication is desired.
Last but not least, point wall paper is available in custom designs; hence, one can design everything from the paper to photowall papers and much more to fit their individual style or even for a particular theme in a room. This flexibility allows people to step out of the design box and say that the design of their point wall paper is influenced by a particular culture, personal hobbies, or even some form of unique artwork.
Choosing perfect point wall paper is not all that difficult. However, one must first consider the aesthetic elements and practical uses to get perfect point wall paper. The subsequent paragraphs will be about some crucial factors to consider when purchasing point wall paper.
As they say, one has to be the judge, although, as discussed in the previous sections, one has to choose between embossed wallpaper or non embossed wallpaper, and the choice of material one will also have to make will also affect the overall feel of the room. For instance, embossed wallpaper will give the wall a classy, chic appointment with an added dimension, while plain printed wallpaper will give the wall a neat, uncluttered look, though one that is rather flat as compared to if the embossed wallpaper were used.
However, the pattern itself causes more practical than aesthetic problems and, more importantly, enhances the beauty of a wall irrespective of the aesthetics of a room. Patterns like the geometrical or embossed damask patterns on the vinyl wallpapers discussed above may contradict the room and the furnishings and make one of the two look much less appealing.
Another thing that one should consider in the point wall paper is its quality and durability, and, of course, how one would want to have a quality product. For example, vinyl wallpapers are embossed types and are water-resistant; thus, they are ideal for use in kitchens and bathrooms and in areas with heavy traffic such as children's playrooms, hallways, etc. Also, one can get papers with washable surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain, although this will depend on the design embossed on them, as very intricate designs such as foils have a tendency to catch dirt and dust.
The points mentioned above are essential when purchasing, but a good knowledge of areas like the thickness of the paper, the type of adhesive needed, and so on, would help with the installation in case one opts to do it oneself.
Proper maintenance and, when necessary, repair of a point wall paper are crucial if it is to last longer. Therefore, below are some steps on how to properly maintain point wall paper and how to repair it when the need arises.
The most crucial step when cleaning wall paper is that one should first do a spot check on a hidden section of the wallpaper. This will help find out if the cleaning agent will affect the colors of the paper. It is advisable to use a soft cloth or a feather duster, especially if the paper has embossed designs. To gently eliminate dust from the wallpaper without harming the design, one must be very cautious because doing so will cause one to pull off or flatten some of the points. Washable wallpapers can be cleaned using a cloth dampened with mild soapy water, but one should refrain from putting too much water on the paper as it can get damaged. Few wall papers, such as vinyl stretch wall paper, can be cleaned with commercial wall paper cleaners. However, one needs to ensure that they do not use cleaners with harsh chemicals in them.
Point wall paper does not go through constant wear and tear, unlike regular walls, which are subject to paints. Nevertheless, it still can develop cracks or peels at the edges over time. Punctures, holes, or flaws in the wall caused by hanging items on the wall, putting furniture close to the wall, etc., may occur. Little patches or wall paper pieces can temporarily cover the little holes or punctures. In the case of extensive damages, the best solution is to replace the portion of the wall on which the wallpaper has been laid. Another thing that is very important to note is that it is better to get another piece of wallpaper."
While it is repairable, point wall paper is not easy to repair. Most of the time, the repairs that can be done on wall papers are for minor issues such as little holes that can be fixed using little patches and small pieces of wall paper or punctures that can also be patched. Major damages require replacement of a particular section of the point wall paper, which may be difficult sometimes, especially if the design cannot be reproduced. If, however, one is lucky enough to get a similar piece of point wall paper, repairs can be done by applying adhesive on the fractured end and placing the paper on it. In the case where the paper is beyond repairs, then it is better to install new wallpapers on the papered areas. During installations, ensure that the last portion of the old wall paper is taken away and that new paper is placed on the seams."
The future of point wall paper can be subjective. However, modern technologies in graphic designs and the emergence of new materials for wall fashion make it likely that point wall paper will remain popular wall coverings. Additionally, point wall paper seems to increase people's need for more personalized and innovative solutions to interiors, which wall paper would adequately address.
All of the above benefits are in addition to the fact that the point wall paper serves as an ornamental covering and helps conceal irregularities and imperfections on the walls that may have been created at the time of installation or due to the wear and tear of the structure over the years.
Lastly, point wall paper is an easily removable wall decoration and will not damage the surface of the plaster wall underneath as paint does when it is stripped off.
A1: Yes, please, but not all types of point wall paper are washable. Non-woven and vinyl wallpapers can be washed, but ordinary paper wallpapers should not be washed.
A2: No, but there are various types of wall papers, and there are countless types of walls that point wall paper can suit. The most important criterion that must be satisfied is that the wall on which the paper is to be placed must be smooth and even.
A3: Yes, as long as it's the right kind of paint for the specific surface. Vinyl wallpaper requires special types of paint since it is non-porous, while paper wallpaper requires normal paint like wall paint.
A4: Yes, and many types of wall papers, including vinyl point wall paper, have sound-absorbing properties that will reduce the level of noise in a room.
