From hotel lobbies to family villas, wallpaper is the quickest route to a polished, high-end wall in Cambodia. Here is what to choose, what it costs, and what to check before you order.
Wallpaper has become the fastest way to give a hotel lobby, office or villa in Cambodia a finished, high-end look without the time and mess of paint and plaster. This guide covers the main types available in Phnom Penh, how to choose the right one for a commercial or residential project, indicative prices, and what specifications matter for hotels and public buildings.
Types of wallpaper available in Cambodia
Not all wallpaper is the same. The right choice depends on the room, the traffic it sees, and the look you are after.
- Vinyl wallpaper - the workhorse for commercial spaces. Wipeable, durable and available in Type I and Type II commercial grades. Ideal for offices, F&B and corridors.
- Non-woven wallpaper - breathable and easy to hang and strip, popular for residential and boutique interiors.
- Fabric and textile wallcovering - woven texture for a warm, premium feel in suites, boardrooms and lounges.
- Grasscloth and natural wallcovering - jute, cork and bamboo textures for a natural, tactile look.
- Custom digital wall print and murals - your own artwork or a scene printed to size, common in hotel lobbies and feature walls.
- Wall leather and 3D / acoustic panels - sculpted leather and relief panels that double as a design feature and, in the case of acoustic panels, sound control.

How to choose the right wallpaper
Match the grade to the traffic
For high-traffic commercial areas, specify a Type II commercial vinyl or a durable, scrubbable finish. For bedrooms and low-traffic residential walls, non-woven or fabric is fine.
Check fire rating for hotels and public buildings
Hotels, offices and any public building in Cambodia should use wallcoverings with a recognised fire rating such as Class A (ASTM E84) or EN 13501-1 (B-s1, d0). Ask your supplier for the data sheet before approval.
Plan for the tropical climate
Cambodia's humidity favours breathable, mould-resistant materials and proper wall preparation. Vinyl and treated non-woven products handle humidity well when installed on a sound, dry substrate.
