It's no surprise, we're fans of wallpaper at Our Local Wallpaper Studio. However, there's more than meets the eye to our passion behind wallpaper. Before you pay a painter to cover your walls in Accessible Beige or Agreeable Gray, learn why wallpapering offers a number of benefits over painting, including:
-
Design versatility: Wallpaper comes in a wide variety of patterns, colors, and textures, providing more design options than paint. This can make it a good choice for those looking to add a unique touch to a room.
-
Durability: Wallpaper is generally more durable than paint, and can last for many years without fading or peeling. This can make it a better choice for high-traffic areas or rooms that will be exposed to moisture or heat.
-
Conceals imperfections: Wallpaper can be used to conceal imperfections in a room's walls, such as cracks, dents, or uneven surfaces, providing a smooth and polished finish.
-
Cost-effective: Wallpapering can be more cost-effective than painting, as it requires less frequent touch-ups and repainting.
-
Easy to clean: Wallpapers are easy to clean and maintain, they can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, this is especially important in spaces like a kitchen or bathroom where spills and splashes are common.
-
Sound absorption: Some wallpapers can act as sound absorbers, which can reduce noise transmission between rooms, making it a good choice for bedrooms or home offices.
-
Variety: Wallpapers come in different styles and materials, like traditional, modern, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and self-adhesive, making it a versatile choice for different needs.
Keep in mind that wallpapering can also be more challenging and time-consuming than painting, and it may require professional installation.
It's important to assess your personal needs, preferences, and budget before deciding whether to paint or wallpaper.
