How to protect wallpaper from abrasion near the bed?

The problems of residents of small apartments are often associated not only with how to arrange furniture so that there is still some free space left. It often happens that the size of the room does not allow you to purchase a luxurious bed with a headboard, and the covering of the walls behind the bed gets dirty over time, loses color and wears out.

In this case, renovating the apartment is expensive and not necessary at all. You can protect the covering of a small area in the immediate vicinity of the bed or decorate an entire wall adjacent to the sleeping area. This can be done in a variety of ways.

What kind of varnish can be used to coat different types of wallpaper?

In the old days, when finishing materials were not of such high quality as they are now, they had to be coated with various protective compounds to increase their service life.
I had to paint boards, walls, wallpaper. If we look at wallpapers of the past, varnish was used to physically protect them, which additionally gave them gloss. Modern wallpapers of various types can also be coated with a special varnish that will help them withstand adversity. We’ll tell you right now which wallpaper varnish to use and for what types of wallpaper.

A good solution for many wallpapers

Butterflies that are trending right now

The most trendy solution in wall design for several years now has been butterflies. They can be anything: cut out of paper and bent in the center as voluminous butterflies, flocked together, three-de stickers, one-dimensional stickers - here the flight of imagination is truly endless. To ensure that no one guesses that you are masking pinpoint damage to the wallpaper, there should, of course, be several butterflies (at least three).

What wallpaper can be used for?

Contamination of wallpaper can be caused by various factors: in the kitchen it is cooking, in the hallway there is dirt from the street, in children's tricks. To protect the wallpaper from dirt, you can create a protective film on top of it; this requires a special varnish. At the same time, it is important to understand the types of wallpaper and varnish so that all wall painting activities are successful.

Of course, there is a universal varnish that fits perfectly on any surface, be it plywood or wallpaper. But in order to achieve maximum results that will last a long time, it is better not to paint anyhow, but to pay attention to the type of wall covering and choose the best option for it.

Using white wallpaper in a children's room is not the best option and requires additional protection

Let's look at the most popular of them in turn:

Porous materials, such as paper or non-woven fabric, are most often subject to the application of protective compounds. To protect against dirt, paper wallpaper can be coated with various compounds, but the most effective is water-based acrylic varnish. Water-based varnish is suitable for various wallpapers; it adheres well to paper and non-woven fabric; it is used to cover photo wallpapers. It provides high protection from moisture and dirt, and at the same time does not spoil the decorative appearance of the wallpaper. Painting walls with this paint coating is convenient, the work does not take much time.
In most cases, vinyl wallpaper does not need to be covered with an additional protective layer. Vinyl is already an excellent modern material that easily tolerates moisture and is ready for constant washing. An additional layer of varnish applied on top can harm the decorative and practical qualities of the wallpaper. It is permissible to varnish only foamed vinyl wallpaper, the material of which is the most delicate and vulnerable. Hot stamping vinyl sheets do not require additional processing, so there is no need to paint them.
Natural wallpapers, such as cork, wood, bamboo, most often require additional processing, because they do not tolerate moisture particularly well in their natural state. Knowing this, manufacturers of paints and varnishes have prepared a special varnish for each type of material. For example, using regular varnish for cork wallpaper is unacceptable, since it significantly reduces the elasticity of the material, while at the same time closing the holes and pores through which air passes through the cork. The special composition partly solves these problems. Bamboo wallpaper is not so sensitive, so you can choose any varnish for it, and after the wall sticker has been successfully applied, the coating should be varnished. It is, of course, advisable to paint bamboo with a clear coating, since it already has a pleasant color.

Bamboo on a balcony often requires additional protection

Whatever varnish you want to cover your fabric wallpaper with, it will definitely be the wrong decision. You will not gain any benefit from this event, due to the characteristics of this material, but you can ruin the decorative surface in the bud. If you want to try it anyway, start varnishing in a corner and see how poorly the fabric reacts to this treatment.
You can varnish liquid wallpaper without even using a brush; just add the composition to the mixture during its preparation. Without a doubt, this will be a worthy solution designed to enhance the performance of the material. The varnish will perform especially well if you use it to make liquid wallpaper with your own hands from paper. If you miss the moment, there is nothing to worry about, you can also apply a varnish coating to the finished liquid wallpaper finish; special compositions are produced for this. However, in this case, you will have to work hard to carefully apply the varnish to the entire surface of the wall, with all its flaws and growths. In some cases, liquid wallpaper will look even better after varnishing.

Methods of protection

Let's look at recommendations on how to protect your wallpaper.

From cats and dogs

Our beloved cats and dogs – it’s hard to imagine life without them. Cute, touching, funny. They bring us a lot of positive emotions. But sometimes they cost too much. Scratching, gnawing, biting are natural manifestations and natural needs of our pets. We have to come to terms with this. But we can reduce these processes to a minimum or make them less painful for both parties, thereby giving animals a comfortable life and becoming kinder ourselves.

Ways to protect wallpaper from dogs and cats that tear up wallpaper:

Be sure to buy a scratching post. It’s best to hang it (if it’s on the wall) or put it (if it’s on the floor) exactly where the cat has already chosen a place for itself and where they’re already sharpening their claws. They should be taught this device from birth. If he starts to tear up the wallpaper, then patiently guide him to the scratching post. Perhaps not right away, but everything will work out, and your pet will get used to it.
Use protective caps on claws. They can be purchased at any veterinary clinic.
Trim cats' claws at least once a month.
Use different types of wallpaper:
Glass wallpaper is practically not interesting for pets. In addition, glass wallpaper can be periodically repainted in new color shades.
Liquid wallpaper is not so practical. But light restoration will always help get rid of defects (read about what liquid wallpaper is, how to dilute and apply it correctly, here).

We invite you to watch a video on how to protect wallpaper from a cat:

From abrasion by the bed

The wallpaper gradually begins to get dirty and wear out at the headboard or along the bed . This can be prevented:

If space allows, place the furniture so that it does not touch the walls of the room.
Buy a bed model with a stationary headboard. If it is not provided, then choose high-quality silk-screen printing as wall decoration. Such wallpaper looks very rich and is not scary to wash with a brush and soap.
Make your own or buy hanging decorative headboards, such as throw pillows, tapestry, rug, curtains, panels, etc.
Arrange shelves or niches. It's convenient and functional. You just need to use lightweight structures and not overload them.

From wiping with a chair

Make a custom-made bumper board for the walls from chairs according to individual sizes. You can choose the color according to the tone of the wall design, and also experiment with contrast. After all, a fender board is not only protection, but also a decoration with the function of preventing damage and contamination of premises. Lay a board on the floor as a plinth and thus maintain the distance to the wall, that is, the chair will not come into contact with the adjacent wall.

Near the table in the kitchen

If your dining table is against a wall, then you are familiar with the problem of the wall that is adjacent to the table constantly getting dirty. Agree, it’s not very pleasant to sit at lunch and see a not-so-clean wall in front of you. To avoid such unpleasant moments, you should pay special attention to the decoration of the walls in the kitchen.

If you decide that you will have wallpaper in your kitchen, then you definitely need to choose washable, liquid, vinyl or glass wallpaper. Paper wallpaper will not suit you. They get dirty easily, absorb odors and fade quickly (how to choose the right wallpaper for the kitchen?).
A simple, cheap and effective way is painting (what kind of wallpaper is suitable for painting?). The paint must be environmentally friendly. Water-based paint is ideal. And if acrylic is added to it, it will give your walls a velvety feel (how to glue and paint wallpaper correctly?).
An unconventional option is decorative plaster, panels or brick. All this is quite appropriate in the kitchen. It is possible to finish only the area near the table with these materials. The main thing is that the overall picture matches the chosen style.
An unusual and original method of decorating a dining area is to hang a mirror next to the table.

Around the switch

We touch switches several times a day. The wallpaper around them, of course, gets dirty with incredible speed. How to protect these places from stains:

Install plastic covers. They are sold in hardware stores and are presented in huge quantities: any style and to suit any interior; any color, shape, size. It won't be difficult for you to install them. The cover will become not just a protective element, but also a real decoration, both for the light switch keys and for the entire interior as a whole.
Place a mosaic around the switch. It will be original and beautiful.
Paint the area around the switch with clear varnish.

From the dirt

If your wall is constantly exposed to external influences, then consider painting the wallpaper with varnish.

Characteristics

Applying varnish first of all involves creating a protective layer on the finishing material, which protects it from unwanted contacts with the outside world. But these are not all the useful properties of this coating:

After drying and polymerization, the varnish coating perfectly resists moisture, which can be destructive for paper or natural wallpaper.
You can always wash the wall with a regular soap solution to remove dirt and grease, thereby easily maintaining cleanliness and order.
The varnish reflects sunlight, thereby protecting the decorative wallpaper from fading. This is a long-known advantage of the material; just remember how long the lining on the balcony retains its original color.
The strength of the protective layer protects the wallpaper from mechanical influences; now the wallpaper is not afraid of scratches, chips, and dents.

Light walls look beautiful, but quickly get dirty, especially in a nursery

Of course, I would like to ignore the disadvantages of this method of strengthening the finishing material on the wall, but we will talk about them:

First of all, I would like to note that the varnish adds gloss to the surface of the walls, so minor defects come out. If the walls were prepared well, then such problems will not be visible, even when gluing extra thin paper or photo wallpaper.
In order to apply varnish to the walls, you need to buy it, which means additional repair costs. Of course, they are not very large compared to the total volume, but they are worth taking into account.
When drying, the varnish narrows slightly, as a result of which it tightens the wallpaper. In some cases, the physics of this process will allow the wallpaper joints to separate.

If these negative aspects do not bother you, you can safely go to the store for a jar of varnish, we will apply it to the walls.

What is the best way to cover paper wallpaper so that it does not get dirty?

Advantages and disadvantages
What can you lose?
Which varnish to choose
Treat with PVA glue

Every person's dream is to buy inexpensive, beautiful paper wallpaper, then glue it so that it hangs for 5 years or more, like new. Unfortunately, cheap paper options have one noticeable drawback: they get dirty easily and it is not always possible to remove the dirt.

Worn decorative surface near the switch

Craftsmen have found an original solution for those who want paper finishing materials to last a long time, and dirt or grease on them to be wiped off. After pasting on the walls, when the glue has completely dried, acrylic varnish is applied to the canvases. Thus, you will increase the service life of your wallpaper and after 5-7 years of service they will look decent.

Advantages and disadvantages

What is the advantage of this treatment using acrylic varnish:

The treated surface can be wiped with a soapy sponge without fear of spoiling it.
If you properly varnish your paper wallpaper, the color and pattern depicted on it will become noticeably brighter.
If you want to hang a poster on the wall using tape and then remove it, the paint and paper particles will not remain on the tape. Touching the wall with dirty or greasy fingers will not leave stains, and if they do, see point 1.

Laminated wallpaper for painting

What can you lose?

Thin paper sheets, generously impregnated with varnish, can turn out translucent. Through them you can see the wall, which definitely will not add decorativeness to the finishing material. To prevent this, paper wallpaper is pre-treated with PVA glue, and then varnish is applied on top. With this approach, it will not be able to absorb into the paper base. This processing technology is considered correct.
If you prepare the walls poorly and then glue the canvases so that there are bubbles in places, then after applying the varnish you should expect surprises.
When the acrylic varnish dries, it will begin to shrink somewhat and if the glue was of poor quality or you did not glue the canvases well enough at the joints, they will curl up. In those places where there were bubbles on the wallpaper and you did not remove them, the paper will burst under the influence of the narrowing varnish, and unsightly holes will appear on the wall. They can be corrected by gluing a piece of the same wallpaper on top and covering it with varnish.
You can cover the walls with glossy varnish.
When applied to paper, it will highlight all the surface irregularities. If you don’t want this to happen, then buy a semi-gloss or matte version of the wallpaper.
Wallpaper coated with varnish is not so easy to remove from the walls, if you compare the work with removing paintings without such a coating. You just need to moisten plain paper with water and remove it. With varnished ones you will have more trouble; you will have to actively use the spatula. All problems can be solved with a good tool.

As you may have guessed, wallpaper under varnish needs to be prepared well.

As a primer, you can use an aqueous solution consisting of PVA glue and water, combined in a ratio of 1:10.

Which varnish to choose

Some experts who were looking for a special varnish for treating paper wallpaper say that they found one good option, VAK-A-104. The annotation for it says that it is intended specifically for covering wallpaper. If you use other options, you may encounter some of the problems described above.

Interior varnish for wallpaper treatment

Some craftsmen say that they tried to cover photo wallpaper with hairspray. Since it is intended for something else, it contains special additives that are contraindicated for paper. As a result, the solution penetrated deeply into the paper, dried out, and stains appeared in places on the photo wallpaper. It’s also bad that such varnish is sprayed unevenly onto the canvas.

Of course, you can also try to carry out such manipulations with wallpaper, but before you there were already craftsmen whose experience says that hairspray should not be used in this way.

Is it possible to apply varnish to paper wallpaper with a non-woven backing?

If we are talking about canvases with a non-woven base and a paper top intended for painting, then you can safely apply the chosen paint to them and cover the top with acrylic varnish. It is permissible to use the same special varnish VAK-A-104, it will adhere perfectly to the paintwork material.

Craftsmen warn against buying thin paper wallpaper on a non-woven basis to be painted white and using this material without paint applied on top.

If you decide to simply apply varnish on them, it will make the canvases translucent and you and your household will clearly see the gray concrete wall underneath them.

In this case, you will have to paint them on top directly over the varnish, which will be very difficult to do, or remove them and stick new ones on, which will certainly lead to additional costs. It makes sense to study the issue before work, and then start actually varnishing the wallpaper.

Pasting the walls of the room with white wallpaper for painting

What should you do if you want the room to have white varnished walls? Buy white wallpaper, glue it to the walls, and apply the same paint on top. In this case, the paper will become strong and washable, and will last you 10 years or more. Repair is always a cost, it is more profitable to carry out high-quality work once and forget about this issue for decades, this is what thrifty people do.

Other varnishes

After applying varnish to the canvas and drying it completely, the wallpaper becomes washable, which many housewives certainly like. This coating is easy to care for, and the walls in the room will seem just as fresh even after 5 years. The advantage is that the surface of the canvas will not wear off over time due to the touch of hands, for example, near switches or on the corners of walls. In addition, varnished canvases look brighter and the pattern on them is clearer.

To avoid mistakes, ask the people who did the renovations, what varnish did they use to improve their paper wallpaper? Some advise using “Alpina”, others call it “Azure from Tikkurila”, others are very happy with the familiar “VAK-A-104”. Which one to choose, in principle, you can buy the first one you find on sale. To be on the safe side, ask the store salesperson which composition is right for you in your current circumstances.

Glossy varnish Alpina

Remember about the peculiarities of working with varnish, because if you apply it to light-colored wallpaper, it will become translucent, and the wall will be visible through it. Even dark paper versions will be slightly translucent. How to be in this case? Prime the entire surface of the canvas with PVA glue. To do this, it is diluted with cold water in the proportion of 1 liter of PVA glue per 10 liters of water.

This means that when you cover a room with paper wallpaper, let it dry for a day and only then apply the adhesive solution to all the walls. You can try this method on a piece as a test. If everything goes well, prime the entire room.

Treat with PVA glue

Let's take a closer look at the technology of applying PVA glue as a primer on all walls covered with paper wallpaper. If you have started a major renovation and you need to varnish the walls in all rooms, then it turns out to be quite expensive. A more economical option is to prepare an emulsion from glue, in particular construction PVA.

Make the solution as follows: take 1 liter of PVA glue for 10 liters of clean cold water. Then the composition is mixed well. The resulting emulsion should be used to cover the paper covering on the walls. For convenience, take a large brush and, starting from the top, move down, evenly applying the emulsion.

To apply to the walls you will need a large amount of glue

Some owners also apply acrylic varnish after this coating. It is not necessary to do this immediately during a major overhaul; you can paint it later, after a while.

If you are afraid of ruining something, test the mixture on a small area, then wait until the composition dries and evaluate the result. If you are satisfied with the result, then treat all the walls this way. Now they are protected from dirt and you don’t have to worry about accidentally touching the wallpaper with greasy fingers. It will be enough to wipe the area with a soapy sponge to remove dirt.

These simple methods make it easy to keep the decorative coating of paper wallpaper in good condition for a long time. If you don’t like difficulties, buy durable and wear-resistant vinyl analogues.

Application and removal

You can carry out the work of applying the varnish coating yourself, there are no difficulties in this. All you need to do is follow simple recommendations:

First of all, you need to stick wallpaper on the walls. This is done according to the general gluing rules. Before varnishing, it is necessary to allow the glue to dry thoroughly.
It's great if you have a transparent primer. It can be applied to wallpaper before varnishing. If there is no primer, you can varnish the walls with wallpaper and so on.
The varnish coating must be applied in several layers, the minimum is 2-3 layers. In this case, each layer must be given time to dry.
Once varnishing is complete and the varnish has completely dried, you can lightly polish it with a soft cloth to give the walls an intricate shine.

Having done this work, you will get an excellent result; your varnished wallpaper will be ready for long-term use. If they get tired or deteriorate, they can always be removed from the walls.

Liquid wallpaper for a bedroom with a white bed

It is quite difficult to keep the space near the bed near the wall from getting dirty. Therefore, the wall covering should be easy to wash without losing its aesthetic appearance. This material is liquid wallpaper in the bedroom near the bed instead of a carpet, which is available in a wide range of colors, allowing you to choose the right shade to decorate the interior of the room and take into account what wallpaper will suit a brown bed.

This finish includes cellulose fibers and glue, and wood shavings, mica, sand and other elements are often added to give it texture.

The advantages of liquid wallpaper are:

moisture resistance;
resistance to fading under the influence of ultraviolet radiation (this is important for rooms with windows facing the sunny side);
do not contain allergens or components harmful to human health;
unpretentious when applied, as they can be used on various surfaces, filling cracks and small irregularities;
the possibility of additional decoration with patterns.

Long shelf

This solution is now in trend, and deservedly so - it looks elegant, beautiful and also functional. A horizontal line visually expands the space, and if you paint the wall below and above the shelf in different colors, the effect will be enhanced.

Choose a shelf that is not wide so that you can put small decor, posters and photographs on it. If you are afraid that all this will fall on your head at night, stop on a shelf with a side. If the shelf is very narrow, a curtain string stretched a short distance above it will also cope with this task. On such a design you can even place a book or a laptop (vertically), put small items and hang glasses on a string - you see, you will be able to do without a bedside table.

Soft panels

The bedside space will be beautifully and reliably protected by decorative elements that will add zest and make the room more comfortable. You can order them in a store or make them yourself. To do this, cut out parts of the required size from plywood or chipboard, apply a soft base (foam rubber or padding polyester) and attach with a stapler. Then choose a material that suits the situation and also secure it with metal staples.

Cabinet or rack

Yes, the closet can be not only on the side of the bed or on the opposite wall, but also above it. These can be just hanging drawers, but a more reliable and useful design is two tall cabinets on the sides and a section between them high above the headboard. We have already talked about this space-saving technique in the article “Wardrobe in a small bedroom.” Instead of a closet behind the bed, there can be a shelving unit - either protruding or built into the wall.

This configuration perfectly fills the wall next to the bed, but usually leaves an empty square between the wall cabinets and the headboard. Bright wallpaper with a pattern or a painting, or maybe a small shelf in this place will be enough. If you also integrate lamps into the wall unit of the closet, the decor will be accentuated and it will be more convenient to read in bed.

Accent coating

If you are not a fan of objects hanging over the bed and are generally a minimalist, then you can decorate the wall simply by highlighting it with a different color or material. Moreover, you can make the entire wall an accent, or you can only make part of it - along the borders of the bed. It looks interesting when such a strip goes to the ceiling or even to the opposite wall.

Sophisticated patterned wallpaper that easily dominates the space, or bright paint will find its place in this area. The wall behind the bed can be decorated with a wooden panel or imitation brick - by any means that harmonizes with your interior. An alternative is to use patterns made using a stencil or interior stickers. More about accent walls in these posts:
