What are poster wallpapers?

What are poster wallpapers?
You must have been in an apartment where you could see a forest covering an entire wall, a waterfall, or maybe a beach with palm trees. Poster wallpapers were a real hit in the 1980s and were present in sophisticated apartments. It went out of fashion for a while, but now it is experiencing a renaissance and is perhaps more popular than before.

Its characteristics
Poster wallpapers are photo-quality wallpapers, which do not differ in color and material from paper, vinyl or non-woven wallpapers. The only big difference is the illustration on its surface, which is more serious in the case of a simple patterned wallpaper. On such wallpapers, you can find large graphic elements that work extremely well on large surfaces.


The manufacturers have broadened the visual appearance of their wallpapers, which differs from the versions of 30 years ago. At that time, only a few characteristic meanings and images could be purchased, it was not possible to choose individual pieces. Today, however, we can find an extremely rich selection. You can also find nature pictures, artistic animal shots, huge flowers, and wall-covering versions of popular paintings. A huge advantage is that they can create these wallpapers based on unique ideas, family photos and graphics of your own design can also be realized.


In order for the poster wallpaper to be effective, it is worth choosing a wall that is free standing and not covered by furniture. Such wall covering solutions look great in bedrooms and living rooms, and they reveal a lot about the personality of the owner of the house.

Placement
The poster (or photo) wallpaper can be customized. In such cases, it must be glued in one strip to the selected area, leaving enough space for the column, of course, so that the motifs can take effect. In a crowded room, it is actually unnecessary to buy photo wallpaper on a small surface, since it cannot reveal its pattern anyway. Such wallpapers should be glued to the most prominent surfaces of the room or apartment. If the wallpaper does not completely cover the wall, you can easily complement it with plain, traditional wallpaper. Here is the opportunity, you can play with patterns and colors, but you must always take care of harmony. You can boldly build on the contrast of poster wallpaper and traditional wallpaper of a completely different color.


Sticking it on
It is applied in the same way as in the case of traditional wallpapers. It can be easily glued with special glue, following the instructions. However, you can't make a mistake with such wallpapers, since even the smallest mistakes will be noticeable in the picture. For those with more uncertain and clumsy hands, I recommend that you entrust the installation of your wallpaper to a professional!
