Premium wallcoverings: what to look for, and how to order from anywhere
Share
PAMPA is a design-led wallcovering brand, printed in the UK to high European quality standards and shipped worldwide. Our wallcoverings are made for walls everywhere — as available to a customer in London, New York, or Sydney as anywhere else in the world.
This guide covers what to look for in a genuinely premium wallcovering, and everything you need to know about ordering online, requesting samples, and receiving your order wherever you are.
What makes a wallcovering genuinely premium?
The word “premium” appears on a great deal of wallpaper. In practice, a genuinely premium wallcovering has several identifiable characteristics that go beyond marketing language.
1. Production standards and certifications
A premium wallcovering should be PVC-free, VOC-free, and produced to recognised European quality standards. The certifications to look for: CE certification, Class-A fire rating, and Greenguard Gold certified inks — third-party verified standards, not self-declared claims. For commercial projects, Class-A fire certification is particularly relevant to building compliance in the UK, across Europe, and beyond.
All PAMPA wallcoverings carry these certifications and are printed in the UK to high European quality standards.
2. Material quality
The substrate — the material the design is printed on — defines the feel, durability, and finish of the wallcovering. A premium material has appropriate weight and dimensional stability, holding its form during installation without stretching, shrinking, or showing seams under normal conditions.
PAMPA’s range spans seven materials, from the clean weight of Standard to the heavier depth of Premium, and the tactile richness of Grasscloth, Silk Texture, and Stucco Soft. Each is a different physical experience, suited to different spaces, climates, and briefs. See the full guide at Wallpaper Materials Guide.
3. Colour fidelity and lightfastness
Colour fidelity matters wherever you are — and particularly in sun-intense climates, where interiors are exposed to strong ambient light year-round. A premium wallcovering should have high lightfastness: resistance to fading under UV and artificial light over time. All PAMPA wallcoverings are produced with high lightfastness inks to maintain colour integrity for the long term.
4. Made to order
Mass-market wallpaper is produced in bulk runs and sold from stock. Genuinely design-led wallcoverings are made to order — produced specifically for your dimensions, your chosen material, in the design you selected. This is how PAMPA operates: every order enters production after placement, ensuring your wallcovering is produced fresh to your specification, with no minimum quantities and no leftover stock risk.
5. Design quality
Premium wallcoverings have visual coherence, considered colour palettes, and scale that works in real rooms. PAMPA’s collections are curated with artistic intention — from botanical patterns and abstract designs to textured solids — created to bring atmosphere and individuality into a space, not simply to fill a wall.
