Ultrawalls can give out a few tips to choose that perfect wallpaper for your salon or spa. This blog will explain what needs to be considered in practical terms, but also with regard to safety and building regulations, when choosing a wallpaper. In addition, here you will know how to utilise wallpapers to emphasise your individual design concept and how to create a specific atmosphere that well-chosen design wallpapers carry, which comes into effect the moment they are spotted through the shop window, attracting potential customers’ attention.

Characteristics of wallpapers for hair salons and spas

A stunning patterned wallpaper is meant to constitute a trademark effect for your salon and appeal to your target group. The wallpaper should not be just visually attractive, but also boast certain specifications for your space. Specifications like:

• Water resistance/washability
• Durability
• Fire Protection

Let’s have a closer look on these points:

Water Resistance & Washability

Hair salons, nail studios or beauty lounges use a variety of chemicals and products which might leave traces and splashes on the walls. Another consideration is steam. Wallpapers in these spaces are prone to damp and dirt and should always be water-resistant and washable. The choice of classification (wash-resistant, highly wash-resistant or scrub-resistant) should be based on the type of stains which might be created by splashing. It always depends on the products used in each individual environment.

Durability

With the type of gorgeous and stunning wallpapers available in the market, their durability and such aspects takes a back seat and not talked about much. And it is not apparent immediately. They appear to be soft, delicate, velvety, or boast an elegant metallic gleam, and yet they are almost immune to scratches, bumps and other mechanical impact.

Durability is a question of quality and depends on a variety of factors. Like, non-woven wallpapers often have a carrier layer made from cellulose and textile fibres which is open to vapour diffusion and thus very durable. So choose according to the requirements.

Fire Protection

Fire protection is an important topic in public buildings as well as in commercial areas with customer traffic, e.g. hair salons, beauty parlours and wellness centres etc.

Ultrawalls recommend choosing the wallpaper with the correct characteristics accordingly. So that you and your space stays safe from fire and you can provide the best services to your customers.

Highly Functional Wallpapers         

At times the space that you buy for your business has some flaws like, narrow passage or under-stairs case space, ceiling is high or low etc. Now you will be surprised to know that wallpapers can do wonders to hide such flaws. Let design wallpapers do their magic and correct and conceal tricky room layouts with fantastic colours and patterns. Dark rooms with little daylight benefit from lightly coloured wallpapers with delicate, fresh patterns and interesting graphic elements. High ceilings can appear lower if you choose a darker colour for then than for the walls. A dark stripe of wallpaper along the wall increases this effect. These are just a few tips that will make you space a happy and gorgeous space.

Wallpapers Have Psychological Effects

Salons, spas and studios are such places where people do often look for calming and soothing ambience. So the wallpapers for such space should be chosen with a special care. Because, the right mood, ambience, a sense of empathy and well-being are important factors for the customer. The first visual impression of a salon can be a more decisive factor for the client than the quality of the hairstylist’s handiwork. If customers don’t feel comfortable in a hair salon or nail studio, they will project that emotion to the abilities of hairdresser or nail technician. In any case, a majority of clients expect a certain amount of creativity from a hair stylist – and this creative flair is often reflected in the furnishings and interior design of a salon.

Wallpapers with interesting patterns can transport us to other worlds and times, e.g. retro prints, floral and Victorian prints can provide nice vibe to the space. Colours, too, have a major impact on moods, we at Ultrawalls has a wide range of wallpapers that will cater to every need of your colour hunting so that you can give that desired look and feel to your space.
