Caring for Luxury Wallpaper: Maintenance Tips for Lasting Elegance
Investing in high-end wallpaper means paying attention to proper care to preserve its texture, color, and craftsmanship. For natural fiber wallcoverings like Kudzu or Moiré Chanvre, avoid excessive moisture and clean with a soft, dry cloth or a lightly dampened microfiber cloth—never use harsh chemicals.
Silk and linen wallpapers like Broad Strokes and Lin will benefit from gentle dusting or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to prevent buildup. For embossed or three-dimensional designs like Soft Surrounds, a light dusting keeps details crisp without damaging the structure.
Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations, and if in doubt, consult a professional wallpaper specialist to maintain the longevity of your luxury wallcoverings.
