As some of you already know, we were finally able to switch from textured wallpaper to painter's fleece on the walls. The walls look very, very nice. :) What I didn’t consider when choosing "painter's fleece," however, is that the painter's fleece walls seem very "delicate" to me at least, and dents, bumps, and fingerprints are not forgiven as easily as with textured wallpaper—or am I mistaken? So far, I have only lived with textured wallpaper, patterned wallpaper, exposed concrete, or various plaster walls. (And unfortunately without a butler who irons my newspaper before I read it, so I don’t get printing ink on my fingers. ;-) )

Now to my question: We are expected to move into the new house at the end of this month, will hire a professional moving company, but I would still like to additionally protect the walls, at least in the hallways and on the stairs. We don’t really want to just repaint after damage, as there is a risk that the repaired spots will look different despite the same color.

How did you handle this? (The following is probably off topic: Some of you also live with children and pets. How do you protect "expensive" walls there, any tips or tricks?)

I haven’t found very helpful advice on this through search engines on the internet.

Exactly for that reason, I applied roll plaster in the hallway. It is much more resistant than the original gypsum plaster. In the other rooms, we were careful during the move, a few small damages occurred, but they are either not visible behind furniture or I went over them with a brush and paint after the move. What happens now is just part of living in the apartment. We have a dog and a cat, so quite a bit happens, especially the cat leaves dirty paws on the walls under the window when it comes inside. In the autumn, something else will be applied there, probably something washable.

You have taken very good precautions to ensure that nothing happens. Professional companies should have a good duty of care and responsibility towards other people's property. This is not the first time they do something like this. That at least makes them a good company. Great! So soon :)
