Whether it’s a new job, the fulfilment of a dream to have children, or the day your children leave home to go to university: our lives change, and with them our expectations of our own home. The children’s bedroom alone is usually adapted several times over the years to suit both their tastes and their practical needs. Similarly, a home office may suddenly become more urgently needed than a hobby room, whilst the guest room is transformed into a spacious dressing room.
When we redesign rooms, however, it’s about more than just new furniture. How do we make the most of the floor plan? What zones do we want to create? Where can we add focal points or create calming areas? The best place to start is with the walls. After all, they take up a large part of the space and shape the light, atmosphere and overall feel of the room.
With wallpaper from Erfurt, we create the perfect foundation for a home that can be flexibly designed. Whether it’s classic woodchip, modern non-woven woodchip or embossed non-woven wallpaper, all can be repainted multiple times and make it easy for us to reinvent rooms time and time again. The great thing is that a fresh coat of paint is usually all it takes to transform the whole feel of a room. An accent wall for the guest room? Different functional areas in the living room? Or a completely different look? All this can be achieved with minimal effort.
Each type of wallpaper has its own strengths. Woodchip wallpaper, for example, is particularly robust, durable and can withstand minor knocks – ideal for children’s bedrooms or high-traffic rooms. Non-woven woodchip wallpaper offers similar advantages whilst being easy to hang: simply apply paste to the wall, press the strips into place, and you’re done. Ideal if you want to redecorate on the spur of the moment or repurpose a room at short notice. Non-woven textured wallpapers offer a wide variety of different textures, open up exciting design possibilities and – depending on the texture – lend rooms depth, a sense of calm or lively accents. The following applies to all Erfurt wallpapers: produced in an environmentally friendly manner from high-quality materials, they are free from harmful substances and promote a healthy living environment. Depending on the wallpaper, independent certification marks and testing bodies – such as the ‘Blue Angel’ or ‘TÜV Nord: Suitable for allergy sufferers’ – confirm their safety. What’s more, the appearance remains attractive even after years, saving us the effort and cost of new wall coverings and enabling truly sustainable interior design. Find out more at www.erfurt.com.
