Kraft Paper

Common kraft paper products for home decor include wall coverings, wallpaper samples, lampshade and pendant covers, decorative panels, drawer liners, kraft-paper-based cushions or covers, and craft-ready rolls for DIY projects

Choose lighter weights (around 40–80 gsm) for craft projects and wall lining, medium weights (100–200 gsm) for lampshades or durable decorative elements, and heavier card stock (200+ gsm) for rigid panels; finishes range from natural matte to coated or waxed for moisture resistance, so pick based on desired stiffness and water resistance

Durability depends on weight and treatment: untreated kraft is prone to tearing and moisture damage, while laminated, coated, or heavier kraft paper provides better durability for moderate-traffic indoor use but is generally not as resilient as textiles or plastics in very high-traffic or wet locations

Dust gently with a soft brush or dry cloth; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight; for coated kraft products you can wipe lightly with a damp cloth, but untreated kraft should remain dry and be spot cleaned minimally to prevent warping or discoloration

Kraft paper is typically made from wood pulp and is widely recyclable and compostable if uncoated; however, products with plastic or wax coatings, laminates, or heavy inks may not be recyclable in standard paper streams and require checking local recycling rules

Prices vary by size, weight, finish, and brand; budget options and craft rolls can be under $50, while specialty coated panels or designer items can cost more, with typical products in this category averaging around the mid-range price point

Confirm roll width and length or sheet dimensions, weight/gsm, quantity included per order, and whether seams or overlaps are required for wall or large-surface coverage to ensure you purchase enough material and the correct format for installation
