If you’re weighing up how to give your office or hospitality space a new look, custom wallpaper is worth considering, but it helps to know upfront that this isn’t a quick swap-in-swap-out solution. It’s a long-term investment in your space, and understanding that from the start makes it easier to decide if it’s the right fit for what you’re planning.
A Permanent Upgrade, Not a Temporary Fix
Our custom wallpaper is applied using a glue application, which means it’s built to stay put. Once it’s up, it’s not designed to be peeled off and changed on a whim. Removing wallpaper takes the primer and paint off the wall surface with it, so a replacement means re-sanding, priming and repainting before anything new can go up. That whole process can take up to two weeks, and it isn’t something we offer as a standalone service, so it’s worth factoring into your planning if a change is ever on the cards down the line.
This isn’t a downside so much as a reflection of what the product is for. If you’re after seasonal updates or something you’ll want to change every year, wallpaper probably isn’t it. But if you’re ready to commit to a look that will carry your brand or space for years to come, it’s one of the most effective ways to do it. Decorating your space is an investment, and wallpaper is designed to reward that investment over the long run rather than needing to be refreshed on a short cycle.
Built to Last
Window Art’s wallpaper comes with a 5 to 10 year guarantee, and the material itself is scrub and scratch resistant, along with being highly resistant to mould and mildew, which matters in busy office kitchens, reception areas and hospitality settings where surfaces take a knock. It’s also flame-resistant, which makes it a suitable option for spaces that fall under strict fire regulations, an important consideration for offices, restaurants and hospitality venues where compliance matters and the wrong material simply isn’t an option.
Getting the Best Results
Since designs are printed at large scale, image quality matters more than people often expect. High resolution artwork is essential to avoid any pixelation once it’s installed, and we can provide image selection guides to help you or your designer prepare the right files from the outset. Keep in mind that the final print quality will always depend on the artwork supplied, so starting with high quality images makes a real difference to the finished result. It’s a small step early on that saves disappointment later.
Why It Works for Offices and Hospitality
For businesses wanting a space that reflects their brand without needing constant upkeep, wallpaper offers a polished, cohesive look that lasts. Reception areas, boardrooms, restaurants and hospitality venues all benefit from a finish that looks considered and professional for years, not just for one season. It’s a practical way to make a strong first impression that doesn’t fade with the next trend cycle.
Why Choose Window Art
With many years of experience across Cape Town and Gauteng, Window Art has helped offices and hospitality venues turn blank walls into spaces that reflect who they are, built to last rather than to be replaced next season. Our team manages the process from design through to installation, so you get a finish that’s done properly the first time.
