What are you looking for when shopping for pet-friendly wallcoverings? Animals present some unique challenges for your interiors, so you need wallpaper that will hold up for years even with your four-legged friends enjoying the home. You don’t have to become an expert designer to get the job done. Just look for customized wallpaper that lives up to the following five essential features.
Durability
You don’t want to replace your wallpaper every three to five years because it started to bubble or peel away from the wall. You deserve highly durable wallpaper that will last for many years, even if you have a curious dog who enjoys rubbing against the wall or a mischievous cat who likes to use the wall as a stretching and scratching post.
Your wallpaper mural should stand up to an energetic puppy sliding into the wall while running through the house. The same goes for children throwing toys to the puppy, occasionally hitting your beautiful wallpaper.
You want your family to enjoy life without worrying that you’ll have to replace the wallpaper soon. That only comes with highly durable wallpaper that can live up to the demands of your busy life.
Scratch-Proof Material
If you check nothing else before investing in wallpaper, make sure that it’s printed on scratch-proof material. Even older or less excitable pets can occasionally rub against the wall, possibly with sharp claws. Simple things like collars and dog toys can rub or hit a wall, leaving scratches if the material wasn’t designed to withstand life with pets.
Even humans can scratch some delicate wallpapers and murals. Prepare for the unexpected and protect your wallpaper. You want it to look just as grand on day 700 as it did on day one after installation.
Washable Material
Here’s another essential feature for your wallpaper: Make sure it’s easy to clean. You can’t remove your wallcovering every time it gets a little dirty, so make sure you can easily wipe the material down without the ink running or fading. Pets are often messy creatures, and you want to keep your home sanitary and tidy without anxiety over every accident.
If you also have children or grandchildren running around, then washable material is even more critical. Look for wallcoverings and murals that are printed in one big strip. That modern printing style ensures you don’t have seams that loosen, pull back, or peel when you wipe the wallpaper down.
Odorless Ink
The ink used to print your wallpaper is essential. Not only does it determine how long your wallpaper will last before the color starts to fade, but it determines what you smell when you unroll and install the paper.
Traditional wallpapers have a strong aroma that could easily agitate or excite a pet. Humans may have vivid imaginations, but dogs have us beat when it comes to vivid noses ready to sniff out any and every possible danger. You can do your pet and yourself a favor by selecting modern wallpaper that is printed with odorless ink designed to last years without fading.
While you’re at it, make sure the ink is water-based and free of PVC. Sustainable inks deliver bold color with less impact on the environment. It’s also safer for your pets and family.
One-Piece Designs
The days of hanging one strip of wallpaper at a time are over. The best wallcoverings come in one big piece perfectly sized for your wall. That level of customization is no longer for the rich and famous. It’s a luxury that every homeowner can enjoy when you choose the right design and print agency.
