Luxury Wallcoverings
08 September 2022
Walls are an important part of every interior. A beautiful wallcovering creates the ultimate atmosphere in your home or hotel. Dutch Walltextile Company was therefore founded in 2014 to share our passion for textiles and interiors with you.
At DWC, you’ll find luxury wallcoverings in all kinds of varieties. We cater to both private individuals and the business market.
We’re happy to explain the possibilities, the pros and cons, and the various collections you can choose from at DWC. Read on to explore the world of luxury wallcoverings.
What is Luxury Wallcovering?
Luxury wallcoverings are made from high-quality materials. They are often used in elegant homes and commercial spaces to add an extra layer of luxury and sophistication. This type of wallcovering comes at a higher cost than alternatives like wallpaper, but it’s also very durable.
In addition to their attractive appearance, luxury wallcoverings improve acoustics. This makes spaces more pleasant to live and work in, and helps reduce noise disturbances for neighbours or other occupants.
Why Choose Luxury Wallcoverings?
Luxury wallcovering gives any home an elegant and refined look. It provides each room with a unique appearance and makes the space feel more intimate.
At Dutch Walltextile Company, you can choose from a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures. So, there’s always a luxury wallcovering that fits your interior style.
How to Choose the Right Type of Luxury Wallcovering
Every room is different. When selecting luxury wallcovering, consider a few factors to make sure it complements the room. Let’s walk through them:
Room Size
Room size is crucial in selecting your wallcovering. A large room suits larger patterns or designs, while a small room requires more subtle designs. It’s important that the design doesn’t overpower the room—a good wallcovering enhances, not dominates.
Wallcovering Colour
Room size also plays a role in colour selection. Light colours are recommended for small spaces as they create a sense of spaciousness. In larger rooms, darker tones can add intimacy.
Of course, you may opt not to cover all walls with textile. In that case, ensure the colour complements the rest of the space.
Room Style
Choose a wallcovering that matches the room’s style. If your interior is very modern, go for something contemporary. Conversely, a traditional wallcovering would feel out of place in a minimalist setting.
Luxury Wallcoverings in the Bedroom
Luxury wallcoverings can give any room a completely different ambiance, which is especially desired for bedrooms. You usually want a different mood here than in the living room.
Wallcovering can add a unique character to your bedroom. Plus, it improves acoustics—reducing outside noise and enhancing comfort inside.
You can cover all bedroom walls, but many people opt to decorate just one wall with textile.
Luxury Wallcoverings in the Living Room
The living room is the crown jewel of most homes—it’s where we spend most of our time, host guests, enjoy meals, and relax. Naturally, you want it to reflect your personal style.
Luxury wallcovering gives your living room a unique touch and turns it into a space you’ll love coming back to every day.
Installing Luxury Wallcoverings
Most people choose to have their luxury wallcovering professionally installed by a specialist. If desired, Dutch Walltextile Company can connect you with experts.
If you’re handy and prefer to do it yourself, be sure to follow the instructions on our website. Applying wallcovering requires more care than traditional wallpaper.
Benefits of Luxury Wallcovering
Luxury wallcovering is not an impulsive purchase—you’ll want to be well-informed. Here are the main advantages:
A Sense of Elegance and Sophistication
Luxury wallcoverings go beyond what regular wallpaper can offer. You can choose from a wide range of materials, including fabric, vinyl, and leather.
They’re perfect for creating accent walls, which are covered in different materials to add visual interest and elegance.
Variety of Fabrics
Unlike paper wallpaper, luxury wallcovering offers a wide selection of materials. At Dutch Walltextile Company, you can choose from:
- Jacquard
- Leather
- Velvet
- Silk
- Linen
- Grass weave
Each fabric has its own characteristics—what’s your favourite?
Sound Absorption
Besides being beautiful, wallcoverings are functional. They have sound-absorbing properties, improving room acoustics.
Disadvantages of Luxury Wallcovering
Luxury wallcovering isn’t without its drawbacks. Consider the following:
Higher Cost than Regular Wallpaper
Luxury wallcovering costs more than traditional wallpaper. If budget is a key concern, it may not be your best option.
However, keep in mind that these are durable, high-quality materials that last much longer than simple wallpaper.
Choosing the Right Luxury Wallcovering
Luxury wallcovering is a long-term investment. With so many styles and fabrics, how do you choose? Here’s a quick guide:
Define the Purpose
The intended use matters. For bathrooms, choose water-resistant materials. Alternatively, undertake the necessary measures during the design process to ensure the best outcome, i.e. distance and ventilation.
Define the Desired Look
Define what mood you want to create. Do you want modern luxury or a warm, cozy vibe? Different materials and colours suit different atmospheres.
Balance Maintenance and Aesthetics
Although walls are low-maintenance, in places like hotels or daycares it’s smart to choose a low-maintenance option. Choose accordingly.
