Why Wallpapering Is Better Than Painting

For anybody with a healthy budget, choosing how to decorate your home can be a matter entirely of aesthetics, quality and taste and not of cost.

Nonetheless, there are some major decisions to be made before you even get into the minutiae of detail. For example, before deciding on wall designs, the first question is whether you should paint it or have wallpaper instead.

There are many compelling reasons to choose wallpaper. Primarily, painting is a better choice only for those who cannot be sure quite what they want and enjoy the flexibility of being able to change, by simply painting over a different colour when one’s mind changes.

Wallpapering, however, is a means of expressing creativity, innovation and more intricate art. A painted surface that can be changed suggests the rest of the room - be it the carpets, furnishings or decorations - can change with it, unless no concern is given to coherence or the right blend. Painting usually means single shades, opaque and uniform hues that restrict innovation or novelty.

With wallpaper comes the opportunity to decorate with patterns and style that can match up to equally elegant elements in a room such as the light fittings, the upholstery or the presence of fine embellishments.

In addition, you can also consider different textures. A painted wall will simply match the background material, be it smooth plaster or segmented brick. Only wallpaper enables you to add a different kind of texture.

As well as the limitless range of colours and patterns wallpaper brings, there are also some significant benefits to wallpaper, especially when it is of high quality. Not only does it look classy, but it is durable and very easy to clean.

For all these reasons, wallpaper offers a stylish, attractive option that comes with far more potential for variety and versatility than painting ever could.
