THE WALLPAPER - NO, AND ...WHY NOT BOTH ?
What is best to do to give a touch of fantasy to our environment? Put the wallpaper or paint the walls ? Let us answer this question!! - my philosophy is that each of us has the right to express themselves with their imagination and taste, there are no such things and most beautiful things less beautiful, there are things we like and things we don't like, so I do not go to choose my clients on a product rather than another, but once they have chosen the help to decide on for their quality and healthiness, you've got good HEALTH'. we all have an obligation to love and protect our health and of those around us. ( this is the topic I'll discuss in my next post with more calm view of the importance ). Prefer one or the other is a subjective choice, and as described in the title why not both, so in this article we focus more on the technical aspects and the substantial differences among the various possibilities, seeking clarity on some questions. Let's see some basic points:...
When it comes to having to choose a coating to the walls, one of the most frequently asked questions is:
best wallpaper or painting?
As I have already said to answer directly to this question is impossible, because it is not possible to compare two materials with similar characteristics, rather they are two different ways of thinking to the decoration of our walls, to the interior finish and decoration. However, because the information is often scarce and fragmentary, we try to investigate both arguments.
WALLPAPER
- The highest power of effect, and I would say infinite possibility to cover the walls and not only....
The first thing to focus on is that the wallpaper is a coating. It has well-defined features and is a concept of decoration furniture that expresses itself in a multitude of materials and products. Meanwhile, there are only the wallpaper printed with the technique of digital, which is currently the most viewed and publicized. What wallpaper is a very ancient history, that in the passing of the centuries is always updated and that it now has an infinite number of expressions. The feature of the wallpaper is offered as a furnishing element and design. It is closer to the idea of "dressing up" the walls by choosing the style, as we would do in choosing our clothing. Decorations large and small, repeated patterns, flowers, lines, patterns, geometric, in a large amount of decorations, materials and even structures. We can say that with the wallpaper there is plenty of choice. It is a product that is so versatile it leaves a wide space to our imagination. Then the power of decorating wallpaper is the most high.

- Masking
The wallpaper can be smooth, but also to have a relief structure. The most used is the type-embossed canvas lot, but there are a lot more thick and the embossing of great importance. More wallpaper will be movement and the greater the capacity of cover. Then,it can be useful to hide small irregularities of the wall, an ugly plaster, filming for the traps or other small imperfections you want to hide, to create a more homogeneous look in the walls.
- Lasts a very long time
A wallpaper (of a certain quality) lasts much longer than the painting. Made a wallpaper of quality, if it is not damaged voluntarily, it is able to last for many years and often changes because you get tired of seeing it on the walls, more than need.
PAINTING
- Economical solution
Generally paint is a solution do it yourself cheap. Paint is pretty easy and almost all of them are able to do so.
- Buy anywhere
Solution is facilitated by the fact that the purchase can be done anywhere, even at the supermarket or in the great commercial centers and usually do not need specialist advice, if you do not have to do special effects or custom-made colors.
- You recover quickly
When it comes to standard products, if the paint is dirty, scratched, stain is easy to restore.
The fact is that the walls are all white and have a little stew.....
-Wall paper and coloring a beautiful combination
the current trend is that of wall-papering a wall or two and finish the environment with the painting.
you can also match up as in the picture the lower part in the upholstery and the upper part solid, or vice versa,
leaving space to your imagination.
