The best Non-woven wallpapers, compared.
Top pick: A.S. Création Trendwall 2 black – Among four rolls on 88, this one has 305 reviews, paste the wall on both fields, and cover that agrees at about 5.3 m². The match fields still disagree. Best value: Warmiehomy flocking dark grey – About £15.99 on about 5.035 m² is about £3.18 per stated square metre, the lowest figure in this set you can divide. Thin-stock complaints stay in the assessment. Updated October 2026.
Non-woven wallpaper is a finished roll with a cellulose and textile-fibre fleece backing, sold in the UK as paste-the-wall wallpaper. You want a dry strip, a known cover, and a roll meant to pull off later without soaking the plaster. You judge it by the hang symbol, by length and width that agree with the stated square metres, by the pattern match, and by the batch. A typical roll here is 10.05 m by 0.53 m, about 5.33 m². Thin stock still shows cracks, and a vinyl face on fleece is hung the way the insert says. Paste the wall means adhesive on the wall and a dry strip. Paste the paper means paste the back and book it. If the bullets and the details disagree, read the insert before you cut. The steps are in the [how to hang non-woven wallpaper](/hub/painting-supplies/non-woven-wallpaper/sub/non-woven-wallpaper-how-to-hang) guide. Peel-and-stick vinyl, lining paper, wallpaper paste on its own, and dolls' house sheets are not this category.

Question 1 of 2
What does the listing need to state?
The A.S. Création Trendwall 2 black is a vinyl-fleece roll at £21.37, 10.05 m by 0.53 m, and it is the top pick in this set. The bullets state 5.33 m² and the coverage field states 5.3 m², about £4.01 per stated square metre, and both the bullets and the installation field say paste the wall with no soaking time. The bullets also say scrubbable and dry removable. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 305 reviews. Three UK texts are short and positive: thick paper, a great item, and very good. That sample sits beside 305 stars, so it does not tell you how seams or shade behave in a UK room. The bullets say free match and the details say Drop Match, so read the insert before you cut. There is no waterproof field.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A first-time hanger who wants a paste-the-wall black vinyl fleece and will check the insert for the match.
Less suitable: A drop-match feature wall planned from the bullets alone, or a shower, because scrubbable is not a waterproof claim.
Specifications
Common questions
Do you soak this roll before hanging?
The bullets say no soaking time and paste the wall. The installation field also says Paste the wall.
Is the pattern a free match?
The bullets say free match. The details table says Drop Match. Those two fields do not agree.
Does the listing say it is waterproof?
There is no waterproof field. The bullets say scrubbable, and the room type includes a bathroom. Stain resistant is Yes.
The Warmiehomy flocking dark grey is a plant-fibre roll at £15.99, 9.5 m by 0.53 m, about 5.035 m² in the bullets and 5 m² in the coverage field. That is about £3.18 per stated square metre, the lowest figure in this set you can divide, so it is the best value here. It is not self-adhesive, glue is not included, the installation field says Non-Pasted, and the pattern is a multiple drop match. The roll weighs 810 g and stain resistant is No. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 108 reviews. UK texts split: some call it thick and easy, others call it wafer thin, see-through, or likely to rip if paste goes on the paper. The same texts mention ink coming off on hands, no hang instructions, and one return that cost about £10 in postage. The unit count says 1.0 count, so that field is not the cover.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A dark grey flock on a wall you have already painted a light colour, if you accept thin stock.
Less suitable: A cracked skim you hope the flock will hide, or hanging it by pasting the paper, because the texts say it rips.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this roll self-adhesive?
The bullets say it is not self-adhesive and that wallpaper glue is not included. The installation field says Non-Pasted.
How long is the roll?
The title and the dimensions say 9.5 m by 0.53 m. The bullets say about 5.035 m². The coverage field says 5 square metres, and the unit count says 1.0 count.
Do UK reviews call it thick?
Some UK texts call it thick and easy. Others call it wafer thin, see-through, or likely to rip if paste goes on the paper. The star line is 4.4 from 108.
The Livingwalls Metropolitan Stories 2 is a vinyl-fleece roll at £24.28, 10.05 m by 0.53 m, with a 64/32 cm offset in the bullets and 5.33 m² of cover, about £4.55 per stated square metre. The bullets say paste the wall and no soaking time. The installation field says Pre-Pasted, so the hang method on this listing disagrees with itself. The title colour is grey, green and white, and the colour field says grey and brown. The roll weighs 1.15 kg. The bullets say scrubbable and dry removable. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 45 reviews. The only UK text says the buyer expected a sticker on the back and found paper.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A grey-green feature wall if you follow the insert on paste rather than the conflicting field.
Less suitable: A peel-and-stick search, or a straight-match plain.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this roll pre-pasted?
The installation field says Pre-Pasted. The bullets say paste the wall and no soaking time. Those fields do not agree.
What pattern match does the listing give?
The bullets say a 64/32 cm offset match. The pattern-match field says Drop Match.
Does it have a sticker backing?
The only UK text says the buyer expected a sticker on the back and found only paper. The bullets describe a paste-the-wall roll, not a peel-and-stick film.
The Sophie Laurence cream beige linen is the lowest shelf price here at £13.99, and the title does not say non-woven. The bullets say paste the wall, free match and a linen effect, on a roll given as 0.53 m by 10.05 m, while the material field says Vinyl and the installation field says Non-Pasted. Cover does not settle: the coverage field says 5 m², the dimensions field says 10 m by 0.53 m, and the unit count says 1.0 m², so there is no single price per square metre. Waterproof is No, stain resistant is No, and the bullets say washable. amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 26 reviews, with 20 UK texts. Several praise paste-the-wall ease and little waste on a free match. Others call the paper very thin, say it shows the wall, or say it shrinks. That split, and the missing non-woven line, keeps this roll an uncertain fit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A cream linen-effect wall if the insert names a non-woven and the wall is already flat and light.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a named fleece and an agreed price per square metre, or a marked wall you hope the roll will hide.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing call this non-woven?
The title does not say non-woven. It says paste the wall and free match. The material field says Vinyl.
Is it waterproof?
The waterproof field says no. The bullets say washable. Stain resistant is No.
Do UK reviews agree on thickness?
Some of the 20 UK texts call it thick enough to hide marks. Others call it very thin, say it shows the wall, or say it shrinks. The star line is 4.4 from 26.
The Livingwalls Travel Styles is a vinyl-fleece roll at £24.30. The title gives 10.05 m by 0.53 m and the bullets give a 64 cm straight match, while one bullet swaps width and height, and the unit count says 1.0 m² against a coverage field of 5.33 m². A price near £4.56 per square metre only holds if you use 5.33 m². There is no installation field, so the listing never says paste the wall. Stain resistant is No, though the bullets say the roll can be removed without residue and call it abrasion-resistant. amazon.co.uk shows 4.0 from 8 reviews. The only UK text says it was easy once the pattern was matched, tactile and warm, and it names no fault, which is one note on a very small sample.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A vintage oriental wall if you already know how you hang non-woven and you set aside the 1.0 m² unit count.
Less suitable: A first room where you need the hang symbol on the listing, or a price worked out per square metre.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say paste the wall?
There is no installation field. The bullets say the non-woven can be attached and removed without residue. They do not say paste the wall or paste the paper.
How much does one roll cover?
The coverage field says 5.33 square metres. The unit count says 1.0 square metre. A bullet also writes 10.05 as the width and 0.53 as the height.
What do the UK reviews say?
The one UK text says it was easy once the pattern was matched, tactile, and warm. It does not name a fault. The star line is 4.0 from 8.
Five amazon.co.uk listings were read from the saved pages. The score on each roll is the star rating divided by 5, then times 100: 4.4 becomes 88 and 4.0 becomes 80. Review count is not added again. It only breaks a tie on the same score. A listing conflict is not subtracted from that score. It stays in the assessment. Price per square metre is used only where the stated length and the cover figures are close enough to divide. A unit count of 1.0 square metre, or a title that never says non-woven, blocks that sum. This is not a laboratory test and not a Which? ranking. The top pick is the roll on 88 with paste the wall on both fields, cover that agrees, and the largest review file. Best value is the lowest price per stated square metre you can divide.
Amazon stars
50%The stored score is the amazon.co.uk star rating divided by 5, then times 100. A 4.4 is 88. A 4.0 is 80. The review count is quoted in the assessment and breaks a tie. It is not added to the score again.
Hang method and cover
25%Paste the wall on both the bullets and the installation field, with length and cover that agree, is why one roll on 88 takes the top pick. A conflict is not subtracted from the star score. A unit count of 1.0 square metre blocks a price per square metre.
Material, match and wash
15%A named non-woven or vinyl fleece, a pattern match you can read, and a wash line that is not treated as waterproof. A title that never says non-woven, with material Vinyl only, stays an uncertain fit.
Value
10%Shelf price in GBP against stated square metres, only where the length and the cover are close enough to divide. The lowest shelf price is not best value when the cover figures do not agree.
Buy the roll for the hang symbol and a cover figure that matches the length, not for the lowest shelf price alone. Five amazon.co.uk listings were read from the saved pages. Paste the wall is adhesive on the wall and a dry strip. Paste the paper is paste on the back, then booking. A 4.4 from 305 reviews is not the same evidence as a 4.4 from 26, and neither figure is a laboratory test. The top pick and the best value are named from those fields. Thin stock still shows cracks.
Non-woven wallpaper is a finished roll with a cellulose and textile-fibre fleece backing. In UK shops it is sold as paste-the-wall wallpaper. You paste the wall, hang a dry strip, and later pull the paper off without soaking the plaster, if the paste and the wall allow it. Paste the paper is the other method: paste the back and book the strip. Peel-and-stick vinyl, lining paper, wallpaper paste on its own, and dolls' house sheets are not this category.
Shade can differ between batches. Buy every length for one room together, and inspect shade and faults before you cut. A later roll is a common reason the wall does not match.
Paste the wall means adhesive on the wall and a dry strip. Paste the paper means paste the back and book it. If the bullets and the details disagree, the insert decides. Do not soak a paste-the-wall non-woven, and do not overlap the seams.
10.05 m × 0.53 m is about 5.33 m². A 9.5 m × 0.53 m roll is about 5.04 m². A unit count of 1.0 square metre is not the cover. A thin roll will not hide cracked skim or a strong colour.
Hang method is the first check. Paste the wall means adhesive on the wall and a dry strip. Paste the paper means paste the back and book the strip. Non-woven wallpaper is sold in the UK as the paste-the-wall type, but the listing can disagree with itself. Trendwall 2 says paste the wall in the bullets and in the installation field. Metropolitan Stories 2 says paste the wall in the bullets and Pre-Pasted in the field.
Pattern match changes how much paper you waste. Free match wastes least. Straight match lines up at one height. Offset match shifts the next length and uses more paper. Trendwall 2 says free match in the bullets and Drop Match in the details. Metropolitan Stories 2 gives a 64/32 cm offset in the bullets. Travel Styles gives a 64 cm straight match. Warmiehomy is a multiple drop match. Sophie Laurence says free match.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want no soak, a free-match claim you will still check, and a flat wall. The A.S. Création Trendwall 2 black at about £21.37 says paste the wall in the bullets and in the installation field, with cover that agrees at about 5.3 m², and 4.4 from 305 reviews. The bullets say free match and the details say Drop Match, so read the insert before you cut.
You read the batch, the repeat, and the insert when the table contradicts the bullets. Livingwalls Metropolitan Stories 2 at about £24.28 is a 10.05 m vinyl fleece with a 64/32 cm offset in the bullets and 4.4 from 45 reviews. The bullets say paste the wall and the installation field says Pre-Pasted. The colour field also disagrees with the title.
You want dry removal, which still depends on the paste and a sound wall. The Trendwall 2 bullets say dry removable, and both hang fields say paste the wall. Peel-and-stick film is a different product. A rented or listed interior where the agreement limits stripping is a job for a professional, not a star rating.
The top pick is the A.S. Création Trendwall 2 black at about £21.37. Four listings sit on the same star score of 88. This roll has 305 reviews, paste the wall on both the bullets and the installation field, and cover figures that agree at about 5.3 m², about £4.01 per stated square metre. The bullets say free match and the details say Drop Match, so read the insert before you cut. The best value is the Warmiehomy flocking dark grey at about £15.99. About 5.035 m² in the bullets is about £3.18 per stated square metre, the lowest figure in this set you can divide. UK texts also call that flock wafer thin and see-through. The Sophie Laurence roll is about £13.99 on the shelf, and its cover figures do not agree, so it is not a price per square metre. None of these scores is a laboratory test.
