If you’re planning on revamping an old space or transforming a room, you’ll be faced with choosing between interior painting and wallpaper. Each of these options has unique advantages and considerations to take. You can achieve stunning results with either, so keep the following points in mind while you weigh the options.

Painting vs. Wallpaper

Painting

Interior painting is something many people already have experience with. It’s often viewed as the easiest option compared to wallpaper, and you can accomplish total transformations with as little as a single coat. There are a variety of finishes to choose from ranging from flat to glossy that add additional character, and you can create various styles by painting over textures or using special brushes.

Different paints require different applications, however. Dark paint, for example, is harder to work with, and adding a light color over it later can be difficult. Painting can also get messy, and over time, layers can be scratched and chipped. Still, there are many cost-effective interior painting products to explore, and you can always turn to professionals for assistance.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper offers seemingly endless design options. It can feature intricate patterns, larger art pieces, or be simple and straight-forward like a traditional paint job. It’s long-lasting and holds up for decades when it’s properly cared for. Keep this in mind, because wallpaper is a long-term commitment. Removing it can be complicated and damage your walls. Wallpaper also needs experience to apply. It takes longer than paint and has no room for error. Mistakes can get messy, so hanging wallpaper requires plenty of time and experience. If you don’t want to make a room visually overwhelming, wallpaper works well on an accent wall alongside interior painting, ensuring you get the best from both options.
