Wallpaper vs. Paint

 Painting a room has always been the go-to option for room décor, but this is cheaper in the short-term. Now, wallpaper for home wall lasts longer when chosen wisely and fixed properly. Also, if you are the kind who doesn’t like re-doing the house quite frequently, home interior wallpaper is the best bet!

 Non-Woven: With increased breathability, non-woven home wallpaper eliminates issues of mould and mildew. Also, this type of wallpaper is washable, easy to apply, tear resistant and easy to remove.

Same as with paint, light plays a major role in choosing the right wallpaper. The colours and patterns could shift and look different during various times in the day. Assess the amount of artwork you would want to hang on the wall, and reduce the competition by getting a simpler wallpaper.
