How to protect walls from chair damage?

We recently renovated our house, and I noticed some ugly dents and scuff marks on the walls, particularly behind study desks and dining chairs. It turns out that the plaster and paint can gradually fade with repeated contact with the wall. In order to avoid making the area appear excessively congested or protective, I sought a long-term, workable solution. After some trial and error, I discovered a few ways of wall protector from chair back that helped me protect my walls without sacrificing the aesthetics of the interior.

What are the Ways of Wall Protector for Chair Backs?

Here’s what worked for me:

1. Maintain Distance: I started making it a point to maintain the chair and the wall at least a few inches apart. Repeated friction is avoided by even a tiny space.

2. Apply High-Durability Paint: Choosing paints with washable, satin or semi-gloss finishes reduced obvious damage and simplified cleanup.

3. Select chairs with low backs or no arms; they are less prone to tilt back or scratch the wall while in use.

4. Add a Decorative Wall Panel: I enhanced our breakfast nook with wooden paneling. It not only looked good, but also protected the wall.

These are a few chair back wall protector tricks that I adopted and worked great for me.

Paint scratches from chairs on the walls are my nightmare!

My father shared some pretty easy chair wall protector tips. Read below to know:

Installing this decorative architectural feature around the room’s perimeter is a simple way to protect your walls from chairs. It acts as a bumper between the wall and chairs. I advise you to install the moulding 32-36 inches above the floor or 1/3

of the way up the wall; for maximum protection, pick an installation point slightly lower than the shortest chair.

Secure transparent plastic bumpers to the backs of chairs in your rooms. They are generally crafted from rubber or silicone with a sticky adhesive backing. I suggest you install them on the widest point of the chair’s back, generally the upper portion of the backrest. They are also available in different colours, so you can choose the ones that match most chair colours and finishes. The felt bumpers are another great choice, but they are available in an range of browns, so they match well with natural wood finishes.

Slipcovers will help soften the contact to your walls, and, in case the chair hits the wall, create minimal marks or buffs. Pick the pattern and color of your cover-ups smartly, so it complements your home interior.

This is how to protect wall from chairs.
