How to Choose the Right Wallpaper for High-Traffic Areas
Some rooms in your home get more wear and tear than others - hallways, kitchens, mudrooms, kids’ rooms, and busy living areas. If you're adding wallpaper in these spaces, durability is just as important as design.
Here’s what to look for when choosing wallpaper for high-traffic areas:
1. Go for Durable Materials
Vinyl and washable wallpapers are perfect for busy spaces. They’re strong, easy to clean, and resistant to scratches and scuff marks.
2. Choose Textures That Hide Imperfections
Textured wallpaper, stone looks, and subtle patterns disguise fingerprints and small dents better than flat designs.
3. Avoid Very Light, Flat Colors
In high-use areas, slightly deeper tones or gentle patterns stay cleaner and look newer for longer.
4. Look for Washable or Scrubbable Finishes
These wallpapers are ideal for kitchens and hallways where walls need occasional wiping.
5. Consider Darker Accent Walls
A bold or darker wallpaper behind the sofa or along a hallway adds style without worrying about constant cleaning.
