How to Keep Your Wallpaper Looking Fresh for Years

Good wallpaper can completely transform a room - and with the right care, it will keep looking beautiful for many years. At Euro Home Decor we work with a lot of premium wallpapers, and we know just how important it is to take care of them properly.

Here are a few simple tips to help you keep your walls looking as good as the day they were installed:

1. Dust It Regularly

Wallpaper collects dust just like furniture.

Use a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently remove dust.

For textured wallpaper, a clean, dry paintbrush works perfectly to get into the grooves.

This quick step only takes a few minutes but makes a huge difference.

2. Clean Carefully

Before you clean, check if your wallpaper is washable or not.

Washable wallpaper: Wipe it gently with a damp sponge and a little mild soap, then dry with a soft cloth.

Non-washable wallpaper: Stick to dry cleaning methods only to avoid damage.

???? Tip: Always test a hidden corner first to make sure it won’t leave marks.

3. Watch Out for Moisture

Bathrooms and kitchens are common places for wallpaper, but they come with extra challenges.

Make sure the room has proper ventilation to control humidity.

Wipe away splashes or condensation right away to prevent peeling or stains.

Avoid placing wallpaper too close to direct heat sources like stoves or radiators.

4. Handle Stains Gently

Accidents happen - a splash, a fingerprint, or a scuff mark.

Blot stains instead of rubbing them to prevent damage.

For light scuffs, try a soft eraser on smooth wallpaper.

Avoid strong cleaners or chemicals, which can cause discoloration.

5. Fix Small Issues Quickly

If you notice an edge lifting or a small bubble forming, take care of it right away.

Use a bit of wallpaper adhesive to secure loose spots.

Smooth out bubbles while they’re small to stop them from spreading.

Catching problems early keeps your wallpaper looking flawless for longer.

Wallpaper is an investment in your home, and with a little care, it will stay stunning for years to come. At Euro Home Decor, we only carry high-quality wallpapers designed to last - and we’re always happy to help with tips and advice if you need it.
