Photo wallpaper quality (seeHow to choose a wallpaper and not make a mistake) depends on the materials used in their creation. This affects their longevity, how susceptible they are to mechanical damage, and whether they can be washed.

The quality of the photo wallpaper is:

• Paper - the most acquired, due to their low price and a wide variety of images. This type of photo wallpaper is a good option if you are afraid that you will quickly get tired of the image, since they will last quite a bit.

They are environmentally friendly and pass air well, which is good if they are located in the bedroom or children's room. But they quickly tear and are afraid of moisture, which suggests that this type of photo wallpaper is not suitable for the kitchen, bathroom, hallway and nursery, if the children are still small.

• Laminated - These are paintings protected by a special coating that creates a thin and transparent film on the surface. They are created on various bases, because of this, not all of them are environmentally friendly.
