What Is the Difference Between a Custom Wallpaper and a Regular One? – Tropic Arte - English

The choice between custom wallpaper and regular wallpaper goes beyond aesthetics, directly influencing exclusivity, quality, and how your space expresses itself. Understand the main differences:

Regular Wallpaper (Standard/Commercial):

Limited Designs: Offers a predefined range of patterns, colors, and textures. You choose from what is available on the market.
Mass Production: Produced in large volumes, making it more affordable but also less exclusive.
Variable Quality: The material quality can vary widely among manufacturers, from basic options to more durable ones.
Application in Standard Rolls: Usually sold in rolls of fixed measurements, requiring more frequent cuts and joints, which can generate waste.
Pattern Repetition: Designs are made to repeat, which can be a limitation if you seek a continuous image or a piece of art on the wall.
Less Flexibility: There is no possibility to change the pattern size, image scale, or adapt colors to match your decor.

Custom Wallpaper (Tropic Arte):

Total Exclusivity: You have the freedom to use your own design (photo, artwork, logo) or adapt one from our gallery to create something unique. Your wall becomes a canvas for your personal expression.
Perfect Fit: Made to measure for the exact dimensions of your wall. This eliminates waste, unnecessary joints, and ensures a flawless fit, like a second skin for your wall.
Guaranteed Premium Quality: We use only high durability materials and state-of-the-art eco-friendly inks. This ensures vibrant colors, resistance to scratches and moisture, and a long lifespan.
Continuous Design: If you choose a single image to cover the entire wall, it will be printed as a continuous piece (divided into strips that align perfectly), without visible pattern repetitions.
Creative Flexibility: We can adapt the design size, scale, colors, and even add texts or elements so it harmonizes perfectly with your decoration project.
Professional Touch: The result is a wall with a professional finish that stands out and enhances the environment.
