Commercial Wallpaper For Your Store?

Commercial Wallpaper Enhances Your Store image

When starting a design project, clients often ask about what designs to add to their walls. I suggest that commercial wallpaper significantly enhances the store image. In addition, commercial wallpaper is made differently than residential wallpaper.

Commercial wallpaper is made differently than residential wallpaper. Using it as wall covering gives a jewelry store an inexpensive way to create an accent wall and a unique feeling to the area.

Wall covering which is made of vinyl offers long-term benefits to the store. The important attributes include the following:

• Available in different patterns, colors, and textures to add warmth or cool tones to your store

• Durable and resistant

• Cost effective to maintain

• Compatible with cleaning agents intended to fight bacteria and other disease-causing micro-organisms

• Nonporous and highly cleanable

There is no hard-set rule that a commercial space chooses to use Type I or Type II commercial grade vinyl. Most commercial vinyl will be a faux linen, grass cloth or even textured design. This is fine for your store because these types of patterns tend to tie into the overall design of your store image.

Waterfall Jewelers and Williams Jewelers are two jewelry stores that have tapped into commercial wallpaper in their stores.

Williams Jewelers in Englewood, CO wanted a wall covering that gives a casual Denver feel, which was accomplished by using commercial wallpaper. See image below. See page 26 for the story of Waterfall Jewelers and their use of wallpaper.

Effective Use of Wallpaper

When I designed Waterfall Jewelers in Waterford, MI, my client wanted a waiting area that was tied into being close to the metal vault and bar. The owners of Waterfall Jewelers chose the metalic, semi-shiny wall covering that matched the vault. See photo above.

They also wanted a trendy wall covering as an accent wall in their waiting area to coordinate with the other materials. See the right side of the picture of this area below.
