Designing a space, whether residential or commercial, can be a daunting undertaking. Everything from how the space sounds when voices reverberate off the walls to the colors, logos, and patterns that draw the eye should be part of the decision-making process.
However, people often overlook digital wall coverings out of the assumption that having a custom solution tailored to their vision will be costly. In reality, digital wall coverings can be one of the most cost-effective options for reinvigorating a space.
Here are some of the main ways you can save money by opting for digital wall coverings instead of other options.
Digital Wall Coverings Offer Lower-Cost Printing
When people hear that digital wall coverings can be custom-designed and printed on demand for their specific goals, they assume that this service comes with a high price tag.
However, digital wall coverings are printed on high-fidelity printers that can handle small orders, so there is no need to pay for more material than you will use.
Digital printing is geared toward short print runs, avoiding the need for large minimum order quantities. Since there are no plates to set or other expenses that limit the feasibility of a small custom order, these printing elements do not impact the price.
In addition, digital prints have a faster turnaround time than many other options, so you can complete your project quickly without impacting visitors.
Wall Coverings Are Cheaper Than Other Options
Redoing any space comes at a cost, but many options require substantial upfront expenses. Retiling a wall or having a painter come in and craft your logo in hand-painted detail will incur a much higher cost than custom printing a digital wall covering, which can be installed quickly and with minimal labor expenses.
Digital Coverings Last
One of the biggest ways digital wall coverings can save you money is over the long term. While you might try to cut costs by purchasing inexpensive paint and tackling the project yourself, you will quickly find that many types of wall surfaces degrade quickly.
Paint can chip, crack, bubble, or stain, and because of lighting, it may not even be the hue you intended when you picked it out at the store.
Other types of walls are not immune from this effect, either. Basic wallpaper can peel and warp, and the glue used to hold it to the wall can be a pain (in both time and finances) to remove later.
Converting a wall to brick or stone for aesthetics is a costly endeavor that still leaves these materials prone to chipping and crumbling, while wood panels can crack and splinter.
Digital wall coverings are highly durable, dampening sound in the space thanks to the thick material that stands up to scratches, dents, and stains.
Compared to other types of wall décor, digital wall coverings can last years in great condition — and if you spill something on them, a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes to remedy the problem. This longevity means fewer replacement costs down the line.
Digital Wall Coverings Are Customizable
Another one of the main reasons why digital wall coverings are popular is because they offer customizable designs. But how does this element factor into the price? Being able to customize your wall coverings can actually save you money over other alternatives.
For instance, suppose that you are a homeowner who wants the walls to match a centerpiece of décor in the room. You could hire a painter to create a pattern that complements this feature — or you could have it digitally printed in a fraction of the time without the hourly rate of such a costly professional.
What if you wanted a stone wall to serve as an accent in your space? Rather than paying the hefty fees to break down and rebuild an entire wall in a new material, consider that digital wall coverings can also be printed to mimic natural materials, including texture.
Additionally, the size of a digital wall covering is just as adjustable as its pattern. This prevents you from paying for more material than you need, saving you money on the installation.
