Now that the cold weather has arrived on Long Island, you may start looking indoors for your next new project. You may be looking to redo that old bathroom or even refinishing your kitchen cabinets. But even a simple change can bring you the most joy as a homeowner.
Generally, people think a simple fresh coat of paint is enough to revamp your home’s interior. While that may be, don’t forget about wallpaper! Wallpaper may be seen as a thing of the past, new prints, styles, and process has given this medium quite the comeback. When you hire a professional paint company like RK Painting, we can help you make the right decision for your space. Before you make your final choice, it’s important to weigh your options: paint or wallpaper?
What are The Benefits of Paint?
Paint is a highly versatile, low-cost option that can transform any room. Since it’s available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, you have the freedom to create whatever look you’re going for.
Painting also offers a durable and easy-clean finish. This makes it optimal for families with kids. Touch ups and repair is a breeze when you choose to paint your home.
Additionally, painting is generally less expensive than applying wallpaper. When you hire a professional painting contractor like RK Painting, this process will go faster than if you were attempting it on your own.
Cons of Painting
Painting a room or a whole house requires a lot of time and planning. Moreover, there is a ton of prep work. A painting company will need to clean and sparkle walls, apply primer, and tape and drape each room.
What are The Benefits of Wallpaper?
Wallpaper has come a long way since the traditional damask print. Today there are tons of designers creating beautiful patterns and styles! Your selection will depend on what look you’re going for.
Furthermore, if you choose a highly durable wallpaper, these prints will last for years without fading or discoloring.
If you have textured walls, then wallpapering would be best. Also if you are looking for a unique look, wallpaper can give it to you!
Cons of Wallpaper
Wallpaper will be more expensive than paint. Also, it is not as durable. When it gets damaged, it can be difficult to repair.
Another issue to consider is the heat and humidity in your home or the room that it will be in. Since it uses an adhesive glue, wallpapering in places like bathrooms, kitchens, or rooms without AC will not be a good long-term choice.
Which to Choose?
When you hire RK Painting, we will help you navigate whether you want to go with paint or wallpaper. Regardless of which you choose, you can rest assured that it will look perfect and will last well into the future.
Also, there may be instances where you can choose both! Maybe try a bold paint color with one accent wall of a unique wallpaper pattern. Or, reverse it and have one wall painted.
With our help, you’ll get the look that you want and it will last as long as possible. You can trust RK Painting with your painting and decorating needs!
