PVC Free Wallpaper

PVC-free wallpaper is a deliberate choice for anyone who wants to combine a stylish interior with a healthy indoor climate. Because this wallpaper contains no PVC, it lacks the plasticisers and chlorine compounds found in traditional vinyl. You notice the difference most in rooms where you spend a lot of time, such as the living room or bedroom. Natural backings like non-woven and paper also give a wall a warm, understated character that synthetic alternatives struggle to match.

Why PVC-free wallpaper makes a difference

PVC-free wallpaper is about what is left out. Without plasticisers, the air indoors stays cleaner and the surface yellows more slowly under light and heat. The backings are also more pleasant to work with and feel noticeably more natural. With non-woven wallpaper you paste the wall rather than the strip, which speeds up hanging and lets the strips peel away dry later on. Paper wallpaper has a matte, classic surface that shows off fine print detail beautifully.

Materials within the PVC-free wallpaper range

The choice starts with the backing. Non-woven is versatile and forgiving, paper lends an authentic and refined character, and a woven textile wallpaper adds depth and a tactile structure that catches the light in its own way. If you want more relief, you can also look at textured wallpaper, where the surface itself forms the motif. Each of these materials is PVC-free, making it a logical choice for a healthier and more sustainable home.

Choosing PVC-free wallpaper room by room

The right backing depends on the location and how it will be used. In a living room or bedroom, paper or textile builds a warm, layered atmosphere. For larger walls or rooms where you may want to change the design later, non-woven is the practical choice. For a children's room too, a PVC-free variant is preferable so the indoor climate stays protected; take a look at the children's room wallpaper collection. One example of an expressive PVC-free design is the Voyseys Garden Magna wallpaper by House of Hackney, a lush botanical pattern on a dark ground.

Order a sample first

Colour and texture on a screen always differ from the real material. So order a sample before you make a final decision. That way you can see how the wallpaper responds to the daylight in your space and hold the colour next to your floor and furniture. The wallpaper calculator then works out exactly how many rolls you need. Unsure about hanging it? A professional wallpaper hanger can help.
