When it comes to renovation work, some people are faced with the question: painting or wallpapering - which is better?
After all, both variants have their advantages.
Do-it-yourself work is more popular than ever, especially in times of the corona pandemic.
It doesn't matter whether you are designing the home office or setting up the kitchen.
One or the other may long for a change on the wall.
Now the question arises, which is better, painting or wallpapering.
Basically, however, the following should apply: “Rooms that were painted with wall paint will be painted again.
And wallpapered walls are being repainted, ”explains Karl-August Siepelmeyer from the Federal Committee on Color and Property
Protection
to
myHomebook
.
Which variant you choose therefore depends on the current wall.
Regardless of whether you paint the walls or apply wallpaper, both have their advantages.
Home improvement: painting has these advantages
"
Painting
is much more
variable
than wallpapering," continues Siepelmeyer.
So you can paint over the paint several times on a smooth surface without any problems.
In addition, the
workload
turns out to
be simpler and, above all, cheaper
.
Nevertheless, this is also a question of type, as the painter reports: “There are people who cope better with painting.
Others prefer to wallpaper ”.
If you want to paint your walls, you definitely need a flat primer.
Because only in this way can beautiful results be achieved.

Wallpapering: That's why it's worth it
With the wallpaper you can
choose between countless motifs and colors
. Wallpaper patterns also help visually enhance an unfavorably cut room. With this variant, there are no limits to you and your creativity. But be careful: less is often more. For small rooms, small wallpaper motifs should also be chosen so that the room does not appear even smaller. There are now many
non-woven models
that are easier to apply than standard paper wallpaper. For the fleece it is sufficient to paste the wall and simply stick the wallpaper on. The change of scenery is then completed in just a few steps.
