Let’s start with a most common question that people ask when going with wall designs options, Whether to use wallpaper or paint?
In this article, we will explain by discussing various factors about which is better for your wall and which has a lasting impact on the aesthetics of your home, because at the end of the day, what we want in renovation work is to have transformation change into our home.
Preparation time
Like everything else in the world, there’s some time needed for preparing materials for your wall designs.
Wallpaper as you suggest is quicker when procuring material and getting ready for the application work.
Wallpaper needs rolls along with adhesive glue to attach the material over the wall. On the other hand, paint takes a lot of time for preparing.
Paint comes in the bucket but it needs oil for mixing, application equipment like brush or rollers and cloth, and a water bucket to clean brush when used. There’s also different color and base color hence more cost is needed for the application.
If the wall has a greater height, use of a ladder is also needed so we need to have a space for work without any obstruction. Hence it’s pretty clear that paint takes more time as preparation time when compared to wallpaper.
Cost
When we go with the cost for wall designs option regarding wallpaper or paint, we will take an average cost and not look over various grade or quality products, which usually have higher rates.
Let’s first put some light on the cost of wallpaper. It’s a paper made from special material with a color print. The main cost of wallpaper comes from the material along with the nature of the print.
When we go with paintwork, quality also comes under the spotlight when dealing with cost elements, but it’s also the quantity of bucket. Paint has also various finishes, like matte, satin, eggshell, and semi-gold which are also governed by cost elements.
In comparison with wallpaper and paint cost, the paint is expensive since paint when starts to get removed over time, adds more renovation cost when compared to wallpaper which works as a cover of what’s happening at the surface of the wall.
Labour force
Labor is also a cost as well as requirement to apply over your wall to attain necessary wall designs in a home.
Paintwork takes more labor or labor hours, but then there’s skilled labor as well. Paintwork needs expert applier because if the quality finish is compromised, the paint needs to be a repaint, which takes cost from top to bottom.
Unlike paint, wallpaper has labor which used to attach the wallpaper properly. The thing about wallpaper is that it should be attached with proper pressing.
The bubbles appearing over wallpaper cannot be fixed until only a professional wallpaper applier could be hired, which is a bit extra cost.
Time required
Everything requires time, and so does the application of wallpaper or paint through achieving a dedicated wall design.
Let’s start with wallpaper, which needs some preparation time, and applying one. When we talk about arranging the room, it only takes the area next to the wall to be cleared, hence not a big deal in terms of extra time.
When Wallpaper applicators are experienced, the time required will be lesser, while the work will be of excellent quality.
Paint on the other hand is dedicated work, which takes a day’s worth of time or even more. Since there’s mixing involved and cleaning of the brush when switching to new paint, extra time is required for a complete application.
When dealing with paint, extra time for paint drying is required while no one could come in contact with wet paint walls because all the extra work could be ruin in the dust if wet paint comes off like that.
