Walk into any wallpaper store and the number of options can feel overwhelming. Different types, different finishes, different installation methods. What does it all mean and which one is actually right for your home?
This guide breaks down every wallpaper type we stock at Everything Wallpaper Interior so you can walk in knowing exactly what you are looking for.
What Wallpaper Is in Style Right Now?
The styles leading the market in Nigeria right now are:
- 3D and textured wallpaper - the fastest growing category we stock. Creates depth and dimension on a flat wall without any structural work
- Botanical and nature prints - large leaf patterns, tropical designs, and organic textures that bring life into a space
- Photo murals - full wall custom prints, from cityscapes to forests to abstract art. Each one is unique to your space
- Grasscloth and woven textures - natural, warm, and timeless. Works in every room and pairs with any furniture style
- Geometric and abstract patterns - bold, graphic, and modern. Popular in home offices and dining rooms
Are There 3D Wallpapers Available in Nigeria?
Yes. We stock 3D wallpaper including 5D options at both our Lagos and Abuja stores.
3D wallpaper uses layered printing and textured surfaces to create a dimensional effect on your wall. The 5D versions have deeper texture and more pronounced depth. Both are installed the same way as standard wallpaper and the visual impact is significant.
This is one of the most popular choices right now for living room feature walls, master bedroom walls behind the headboard, and home office backgrounds.
What Is Type 2 Wallpaper?
Type 2 is medium duty residential grade wallcovering. It is the standard choice for most homes and covers the widest range of designs including prints, textures, and patterns.
It handles normal household wear well, is cleanable with a damp cloth, and is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and home offices. If you are buying wallpaper for your home for the first time, Type 2 is where to start.
What Is Type 3 Wallpaper?
Type 3 is heavy duty commercial grade wallcovering. It is engineered for high traffic environments like hotel corridors, office reception areas, restaurants, and retail spaces.
We stock Type 3 at Everything Wallpaper Interior and it is increasingly requested by residential customers who want the same quality and durability they see in luxury hotels. If you have children, pets, or simply want the most durable option available, Type 3 is worth considering.
Which Type of Wallpaper Is Good for Each Room?
- Living room - Type 2 or Type 3 for durability, 3D or textured for a statement wall, botanical or mural for a dramatic feature
- Master bedroom - grasscloth or woven texture for warmth, botanical for a lush feel, dark moody prints for a luxury hotel finish
- Children's bedroom - Type 3 for durability, self-adhesive for easy future changes, fun prints and characters
- Home office - geometric or abstract behind your desk for a professional video call background, textured neutral for a calm working environment
- Dining room - full coverage works beautifully here, bold prints and deep colours are especially impactful in dining rooms
- Corridor and entryway - Type 3 for traffic durability, vertical patterns to add height, something bold because it is a transitional space not a living space
Which Wallpaper Is Lucky?
This question comes up more than you might expect. In many cultures, certain colours and patterns carry positive energy and meaning in the home.
Generally, nature-inspired wallpaper featuring plants, trees, and water is considered to bring positive, living energy into a space. Warm colours like gold, terracotta, and green are associated with prosperity and growth in many traditions.
Our honest design advice: choose a wallpaper that makes you feel good every time you walk into the room. That feeling is what matters most.
How Do I Pick the Right Wallpaper?
The short version:
- Consider the room size and ceiling height before choosing a pattern scale
- Consider the existing furniture and flooring colours before choosing a wallpaper colour
- Consider how the room is used before choosing a wallpaper type
- Always see a physical sample before you commit. Colours and textures look different on screen than on a wall
We have physical samples of every design we stock at our Lagos and Abuja showrooms. Come in, hold them against your paint colours, and see exactly what you are getting before you buy anything.
