Buy vinyl wallpaper | Selected Wallpapers

Vinyl wallpaper combines a durable plastic surface layer with a fleece or paper backing, giving you wall covering that resists moisture, stains, and daily intensive use. Whether you choose a subtle texture, a matte relief, or a striking pattern: in the collection of Selected Wallpapers you'll always find a design that fits your interior and meets the demands of the space.

Vinyl wallpaper: properties that make the difference

The vinyl surface layer makes the wallpaper wipeable with a damp cloth, making it suitable for spaces where traditional paper quickly reaches its limits. Many collections comply with the European standard NEN-EN 15102, meaning they are tested for durability and fire safety. Additionally, there is a growing supply of PVC-free variants for those who want to choose consciously. The textures range from smooth and glossy to matte and relief, so you can explore all aesthetics.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Vinyl wallpaper

What exactly is vinyl wallpaper?

Vinyl wallpaper is a wallcovering with a durable synthetic top layer (PVC or a PVC-free variant) on a non-woven or paper backing. This top layer makes the wallpaper water-repellent, scratch-resistant and wipeable with a damp cloth. This makes vinyl wallpaper ideal for rooms where walls take a beating, without compromising on luxurious appearance.

Why choose vinyl wallpaper instead of regular wallpaper?

Vinyl wallpaper is the smarter choice when you want both design and durability. The vinyl top layer protects against moisture, stains and wear — qualities where traditional paper wallpaper eventually gives up. This makes vinyl perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and children's rooms, without compromising on luxurious appearance or pattern choice.

Can vinyl wallpaper handle splash water?

Yes, that is one of its main advantages. Vinyl wallpaper is splash-water resistant and suitable for bathrooms (outside the shower zone), kitchens, toilets and utility rooms. For genuinely wet spaces like a walk-in shower, we recommend our dedicated bathroom wallpaper collection — specifically developed for higher humidity and direct water exposure.

Is vinyl wallpaper environmentally friendly?

More and more brands are developing PVC-free vinyl wallpapers with a focus on recyclability and low emissions. Collections from Vescom and Arte, for example, offer sustainable variants that meet strict European standards for harmful substances. Check the product specifications for certifications such as emission class A+ or PVC-free — these are the reliable indicators of an environmentally friendly choice.

How do you hang vinyl wallpaper?

Most vinyl wallpapers have a non-woven backing, which means you apply paste directly to the wall and hang the wallpaper dry. This is faster and cleaner than traditional paper wallpaper. Does the vinyl have a paper backing? Then soak the strips first — this is always stated on the label. The current application method can be found on each product page.
