Paint vs Wallpaper
Both Wallpaper and Paint can create a beautiful look for your rooms depending on how and where you choose to use them. There are pros and cons of using both wallpaper and paint.
Let’s discuss the different aspects on which we can compare paint vs wallpaper.
Cost
It’s generally cheaper to paint a room than it is to wallpaper it, but wallpaper tends to have a longer life-span so the costs even out over time. So if you consider the long run then even wallpapering is an economical option.
Ease Of Application
Getting wallpaper installed is very easy these days with modern techniques. Wallpaper installation takes lesser time than getting your wall painted, especially if you are painting over a damaged wall, it can get very tedious.
Durability
Wallpapers will last for a good deal longer than the paint will. Wallpapers available these days last for at least 10-15 years, whereas re-painting has to be done as often as every 3-5 years. So, wallpaper is a very economical choice as it lasts 3-4 times longer than paint in normal conditions.
Designs And Patterns
Wallpapers are the best option for enhancing the aesthetic quotient of your room. Wallpapers can be used to create amazing effects using various textures, patterns, and designs. A plethora of different wallpapers like custom-made wallpaper, leather-look, fabric look, natural look, etc. are available and these kinds of effects are very hard to get with paint.
