Paint vs. Wallcovering: More Than Meets the Wall

Paint vs. Wallcovering: More Than Meets the Wall

Paint brings the color. Wallcovering brings the pattern, texture and performance! Think bold prints, dimensional textures, woven finishes and surfaces designed to stand up to everyday wear. Whether you’re designing a high-traffic commercial space or adding a standout detail to an interior, there’s a wallcovering for the job. Let’s look at a few of the ways MDC can help your walls do more.

Type II Vinyl: Big Patterns, Built for Busy Spaces

Commercial walls get put to the test every day. Our Type II vinyl wallcoverings are designed for interiors that see plenty of action, including hotel corridors, office lobbies and lively restaurants. Durable, scrubbable and easy to clean, they handle everyday scuffs with a quick wipe, keeping walls looking their best without frequent paint touch-ups. And practical doesn’t mean plain! Think bold geometrics, stone-inspired textures, linen looks and plaster effects that bring plenty of character to high-traffic spaces.

Wovens: Texture You Can Feel

Want to add depth without going bold on color? Woven wallcoverings bring texture and dimension to a space. Grasscloth adds an organic feel, while intricate weaves bring their own subtle detail. They’re a great option for hospitality spaces, executive offices and other interiors where the details matter.

Specialty Effects Finishes: A Little Artistry Goes a Long Way

Some walls call for something beyond a standard finish. Handcrafted wallcoverings bring artistry and character through variations in color, texture and surface detail. Metallic finishes add a little shine, while painterly designs like Harmen give designers another way to make a wall stand out.

Performance Textiles: Style That Works Hard

Busy spaces need materials that can keep up. MDC’s performance textile offerings bring together design and durability for interiors that see plenty of use. Our performance wallcovering collection pairs timeless woven style with performance-focused features and recycled materials, offering another option for projects where appearance and practical considerations both matter.
