The Ultimate Guide to Wallpaper Protection: Tips and Tricks for Long-Lasting Beauty

Once your wallpaper is hung and fully dried it is a good idea to apply a coat of decorators varnish. This product is similar to wood furniture varnish but it is made specifically for wallpaper and other surfaces. It will help protect the wallpaper from water damage, and stains and will stop mold from growing on it.

A coat of varnish will also make your wallpaper more washable. This is important if your wallpaper is located in an area that gets a lot of moisture, such as a kitchen backsplash or bathroom. You should also use a waterproof sealer around any seams, especially vertical ones. White latex caulk is a great choice for this purpose and will provide a neat and tidy seam of protection. If this isn’t available or suitable for your wall covering, clear silicone will also do the trick.
