Why Wellington Homes Are Embracing Wallpaper

Wallpaper is experiencing a renaissance in Wellington homes, and for good reason:

Instant Transformation: Dramatically change the look and feel of a room in less time than it takes to paint.
Moisture Management: Certain wallpapers can help manage Wellington’s infamous dampness issues, particularly in older homes.
Insulation Boost: Some wallpapers offer additional insulation properties, helping to keep your home warm and dry.
Acoustic Improvement: In compact Wellington apartments or homes near busy roads, textured wallpapers can help absorb sound.
Camouflage Imperfections: Ideal for older Wellington homes, wallpaper can disguise minor wall imperfections and uneven surfaces.
Durability: High-quality wallpapers can withstand the wear and tear of daily life, often outlasting paint in high-traffic areas.

A Wellington Wallpaper Success Story

“Our 1920s bungalow in Ngaio had seen better days, with walls showing every imperfection. The team from Residential Painters Wellington suggested a subtly textured wallpaper for our living room. The transformation is incredible – the room feels warmer, more inviting, and the wall flaws have disappeared. It’s like living in a completely new house!” – Emma and James, Ngaio
