Why Designers Are Increasingly Preferring Paint Over Wallpaper: 5 Far From Obvious Benefits
In modern interiors, paint is increasingly used as a wall covering, rather than wallpaper.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, agreed to share her opinion on the reasons for what is happening.
It turns out that acrylic and vinyl paints, which have replaced wallpaper, have many advantages.
1. Even a schoolchild can apply paint to a wall using a roller. The main thing to remember is that the first layer is applied with a long-haired tool, while subsequent layers require a short-haired construction tool.
2. The paints have excellent hiding power – they are able to cover the previous color of the walls literally the first time.
3. Using paint gives you the opportunity to independently regulate the intensity of the shade, which will ultimately help you achieve the desired color of the walls.
4. Do not forget about such a quality of paint as moisture resistance, it is responsible for the ease of cleaning in the future.
5. And finally, let us remind you that modern paints do not have a sharp unpleasant smell, which means that the need for long-term ventilation of the room after renovation disappears by itself.
Earlier, BelNovosti reported on why non-woven wallpaper is better than regular wallpaper. This is in case you still don’t like the paint on your walls.
