Cost
Cost is an important factor. When you buy a cheap quality wallpaper or paint, it normally doesn’t give the desired results and also will not stay good for long. Normally an expensive paint stays longer than regular paint. But you still need a touchup every 2-3 years. Also the expense of brushes, labour, trays and furniture and floor protection sheets further adds into the prices.
Where with wallpaper all you need to invest in a good quality wallpaper, glue and the labour. And they will stay for more than 10 years. So wallpaper is any day less costly than painting.
Selection
Paint has vast options no doubt. You have countless shades and hues, but you cannot create design or pattern with paint. If you still wish to have patterns in paint then you have to hire a professional to do so. Which will gain increase the cost.
Where wallpapers does have options in both – solid colours and patterns. It is also possible to select fabric, textured, and cloth options. You may also choose a wallpaper that has intricate designs and effects, such as foil, glitter, pearls, grass cloth and 3D effects.
Durability
On a professionally done wall, paint can usually last for about 4 years, which also depends on the traffic in the room. For example, high traffic rooms such as a child’s room and the kitchen, where dirt, grease, and messy hands may frequently touch the walls, may require touchups over time to ensure that the paint is properly maintained. It is best to purchase washable paint that is easier to clean.
Wallpaper usually lasts up to 15 years, even in even in high foot traffic areas of the home. Wallpapers are easily washable and can be cleaned with a damn cloth. When needed touchups can be done easily.
