Art and Design

Wallpaper and painting are two popular wall finishing methods, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, wallpaper is often preferred for a number of its advantages:

Variety of Designs: Wallpapers offer a huge variety of textures, patterns and colors. With their help you can create unique and stylish interiors, from classic to modern.

Hiding imperfections: Wallpaper can hide minor wall defects, such as cracks, unevenness or stains. While painting requires perfect surface preparation, wallpaper is less demanding in this regard.

Durability: High-quality wallpaper can last a long time while maintaining its original appearance. They are resistant to abrasion and damage, especially vinyl or non-woven wallpaper.

Improved sound and thermal insulation: Wallpaper, especially thick or multi-layered, can help improve sound and thermal insulation in a room, creating a more comfortable environment.

Ease of replacement: If necessary, wallpaper can be easily replaced with new ones, without requiring significant costs and time. Modern types of wallpaper, such as non-woven wallpaper, can be easily removed from the wall without damage.

Environmentally friendly: Many modern wallpapers are made from environmentally friendly materials and do not contain harmful substances, which makes them safe for health.

Dramatic Look: Wallpaper can create dramatic accents and visually transform a space. For example, wallpaper with vertical stripes can visually “raise” ceilings, while wallpaper with horizontal stripes can “expand” walls.

Ultimately, the choice between wallpaper and painting depends on personal preference, interior style and functional requirements. However, many people choose wallpaper for its decorative capabilities and practical advantages.
