Wallpaper versus just emulsion – the endless debate
So you are looking to refresh one of your rooms in your home, and then the debate starts. Do you simply emulsion the walls, hang paper and then emulsion the new paper, or go for a combination with coloured wallpaper on some walls and emulsion the rest, or even just wallpaper the entire room in a patterned wallpaper?
Decorating and room makeovers can be a headache at the best of times, the choices are endless and although a room can be refreshed in a relatively short space of time if you're on a tight budget getting it right and making the right choice can be a nightmare.
So here are a few points to consider when debating about wallpaper versus emulsion -
- Variety of Designs: Wallpaper offers endless patterns, textures, and designs, from classic to contemporary, allowing for more creative expression.
- Durability: High-quality wallpaper can last up to 15 years and is more resistant to wear and tear, making it a long-term investment.
- Hides Imperfections: Wallpaper can cover up uneven walls, small cracks, or other imperfections better than paint.
- Adds Texture: With options like embossed or textured wallpaper, you can add depth and dimension to your walls that emulsion paint can't achieve.
- Easy to Clean: Many wallpapers are wipeable or washable, making them easy to maintain, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Feature Walls: Creating a feature wall with wallpaper can add a focal point and elevate the overall design of a room without having to paint all the walls.
Installing wallpaper can be a bit of a challenge for many people. Whether you call it paper hanging or wallpapering, even seasoned DIY enthusiasts can sometimes find it tricky. From measuring to making sure you buy the right amount, to cutting, pasting, and hanging without those pesky bubbles, it can turn into a bit of a headache.
While everyone can give it a try, wallpaper prices can range from a modest £5 per roll to several hundred pounds per roll, making mistakes potentially costly.
