Wallpaper does not normally damage walls when it is correctly installed and removed. In fact, it can help protect the underlying surface from everyday wear and tear.

Any potential damage usually depends on the condition of the wall before installation, the type of adhesive used, and how the wallpaper is removed. Poorly prepared walls or aggressive removal methods can sometimes cause minor surface damage, such as paint lifting or small patches of plaster coming away.

At ModEco Home, we recommend proper wall preparation before installation to ensure the best adhesion and to make future removal as clean as possible. When installed on a suitable surface and removed carefully, wallpaper should leave your walls in good condition.

If you’re unsure about your wall type or suitability, our team is happy to advise before you begin your project.
