Wall Decoration Ideas | Paint vs Wallpaper

Life gives us many opportunities to showcase our ideas. There are numerous methods out there to express oneself. This can be through our speech, our actions, and possibly through art. A house that one builds to live inside, can in itself also be thought of as a masterpiece of their creation. The shape of the house, the materials used, the interior and exterior design themes; it all adds up to show people your interests and dislikes.

One of the most important parts of finalizing a house, is the finishing of walls. Perhaps also one of the most interesting parts as well. There are so many options out there. It’s not an easy task to decide what you’re going for, and why. Some times, you’d lean on to one thing. Other times, you’d lean on to another.

But maybe the most trying task in the end, is deciding whether you want to go for Wall paint or Wallpaper. They’re both good wall covering solutions. But they both have their pros and cons. So today we at MBT, will try to help you make your decision.

For starters, lets get to their comparison on the following points:

Durability

First and foremost, which one more is durable? Wallpaper. No question about it. In most cases, wallpaper will last you at least 5 years longer than paint. Comparatively, paint gets damaged over a lesser period of time. That too is long lasting, but around 3-5 years. Whereas, the wallpaper will last about 10-15 years.

On another note, paint can handle high humidity areas. Wallpapers can’t. They start to peel off rather quickly, in such places.

Cost

Paint is cheaper than Wallpaper. Generally the cost of the materials, and application processes is less costly for paint. Wallpapers cost more for the overall process, as well as for the material itself. This difference is due to the durability factor. Since wallpaper lasts longer, it costs more. Since paint lasts less longer, it cost lesser too.

Colors and Design

Paint comes in a wide range of colors. Even if you can’t find a particular color, you can mix different colors together to suit your taste. This wide variety is a great thing for people, that would like something out of the blue.

Wallpapers come in a number of designs and patterns, as well. Additionally, they can also be custom printed. This means that you can choose a design you found online or made digitally; and that can be printed onto your desired wallpaper. This too proves to be a game changer for some.

Ease of Application

Paint is easier to handle, and can be applied by anyone. Less hassle, and more care-free. You don’t necessarily need to hired help for the job. This could also be another factor, in reducing costs.

Wallpaper on the other hand, should be handled carefully. It’s not as simple to apply, as it be seem. We recommend the help of a trained professional.

Maintenance

Wallpaper is easier to maintain. Whereas paint would need more care, over the years. Wallpaper can be cleaned much easily, and maintains its pleasant look for a much longer period. Paint if neglected would start losing its aesthetic much faster. This too, is a factor that justifies the higher price for the paper over the paint.

Conclusion

Go for Paint if you want:

- A cheap solution

- Solid color walls

- Resilience in high humidity areas

Go for Wallpaper if you want:

- A longer lasting solution

- Textures, or custom designs on your walls

- Durability in general uses

What do we recommend?

Following are some suggestions, that you can consider:

- Use a combination of both.

- Use paint for bathrooms and kitchen, wallpaper for the other rooms.

- Go for the trend, and apply wallpaper on one wall, and paint the other three.

- If you go for a custom design wallpaper, make sure it sits well with the theme of the room.

But of course, at the end of the day, these are just suggestions. We would actually recommend taking expert advise on the matter, before going through with anything.

This is because every person's situation varies, and not everything that works for one situation would necessarily work for another. If you need to, you can easily contact us as well. We’ll be more than happy to discuss the situation with you, and guide you through the process.
