When it comes time to sell the property, the interior design can increase (or decrease) its potential asking price, which is why choosing smart decoration options is essential.
Custom wall coverings can boost property values and help you achieve the look you’re going for all at once.
Here’s how.
Why Custom Wall Coverings Are Superior
Deciding between paneling, paint, wall coverings, and other options is one of the most important choices a building owner can make when renovating.
Custom wall coverings offer numerous advantages that can directly lead to increased property value compared to other alternatives.
1. More Resilient to Damage
Wall coverings are typically made of durable vinyl or compound materials that resist damage in ways that paint cannot.
Some wall coverings can be made especially resistant to humidity, while others do not degrade under the bright light of a sun-facing window.
Wall coverings are also highly scratch-proof, so potential buyers are less likely to see wall damage and more confident in the longevity of the interior space if it has been filled with wall coverings over something like paint.
This translates to a higher value because fewer repairs are necessary both immediately upon purchase and over the long term.
Wall coverings can be especially valuable for commercial buyers interested in office space that stands up to constantly moving desks and chairs, as well as residential prospects with children or pets.
2. More Customizable
Wall coverings offer greater customization than paint, making a space more flexible and, in turn, increasing its potential value as an adaptable canvas for any buyer’s needs.
Because wall coverings can be customized, any buyer for any type of commercial or residential property can create a design that suits their vision and goals.
In addition, wall coverings are easier to change than paint. Painting a room often comes with more work than expected. Old coats of paint may need to be stripped and sanded.
Other painting projects may involve primer or multiple coats of paint for an even application. On the other hand, old wall coverings can simply be removed, and the new installation can be applied — typically in a single day.
Buyers will not need to worry about the hassle of decorating a space.
3. More Comfortable
The best-looking paint commonly creates a smooth, flat surface (which can be glossy, depending on the paint type).
This uninterrupted flat plane does no favors for the sound in the room, allowing sound waves to bounce freely to create echoes and unnecessary noise.
In contrast, wall coverings can come in a wide range of textures and can even mimic natural materials such as stone.
When sound waves encounter these textured surfaces, they are absorbed by the thick, high-quality vinyl or become trapped in the uneven texture, reducing noise pollution and making the space more comfortable.
Texture can also reduce glare so that the room is easier on the eyes. When potential buyers can feel at home in the space, either for rest or work, they are willing to pay more for such comfort.
4. Lasts Longer
While paint can chip, stain, crack, and bubble, wall coverings can remain intact for many years. Thanks to their thick, durable material and resilience to a wide range of conditions, wall coverings offer a long-term solution for interior design.
Buyers will not need to worry about imminently replacing wall coverings or touching them up over the years, which can increase the property’s value.
5. Hides Imperfections
Decorative options such as paint do almost nothing to mask the underlying surface. If a wall contains imperfections, bumps, or cracks, these will show through the paint — if not immediately, then over time.
However, wall coverings are excellent at masking minor imperfections.
While they should not be used to hide damage that could escalate and cause structural harm, wall coverings are a cost-effective method of removing unsightly spots without the need for extensive (and costly) repairs.
Buyers are more likely to bid higher on a property when it looks appealing and does not come with needed fixes baked in.
Boost Property Value with High-Quality Custom Wall Coverings
While the design of an interior space can accomplish a lot for homeowners and business managers, some consideration should go toward how those design decisions will impact the property value.
Custom wall coverings can seamlessly help owners achieve their aesthetic vision while simultaneously setting their property up for a good sale whenever the time is right.
