Wallpaper vs Painting

  • Durable – Wallpaper holds up very well to wear and tear, making it ideal for high traffic areas or homes with young children. It often lasts up to 15 years. Most modern varieties are washable, too.

  • Less prep work – With wallpaper, the condition of the wall underneath is less important. It’s still a good idea to wash the wall and fill in holes prior to applying the wallpaper, in order to get the best finish possible. But you don’t have to obsess over little nicks or cracks because they won’t be as obvious.
