If you’ve been looking at new window treatments, perhaps you’re even thinking about redecorating an entire room or maybe even your whole house. Without a doubt, what you do with your walls will set the tone for your overall décor (and potentially your window treatment choices), so you may be asking yourself, “What’s better, wallpaper or paint?”
While paint is popular, wallpaper is becoming a more common choice as people are looking for new and exciting ways to decorate their homes. Here are some benefits to using wallpaper in your interior design:
Variety. Because the choices of colors, styles, and textures are more diverse than ever before, there is virtually no limit to what you can do with wallpaper. You can achieve interesting and unique effects with wallpaper—you can create a leather look, engage in custom designs or natural patterns, and much more—that just can never be achieved with paint. If you’re looking for originality and creativity, wallpaper is the solution.
Longevity. Today’s wallpaper is designed to last a 10 to 15 years, much longer that most paint will. Depending on your household and everyday activity, wallpaper can last five times longer than paint, which makes it the most economical choice in the long run.
Ease of removal. If you decide you want a new look down the road, wallpaper varieties available today are very easy to remove. With proper installation using a good primer now, removal will be easier down the road. Plus, there are new removal systems that make it possible to remove the paper from the wall in long strips.
