Longer Lasting
Wallpaper tends to last significantly longer than paint, needing little to no maintenance throughout its life.
Although the initial investment of the paper may set you back a fraction more than a tin of paint, over its lifespan you can save up to 30% due to the fact that it lasts longer and won’t need touching up here and there.
Some wallpapers can last for between 10 and 15 years, meaning that it lasts far longer than paint, which often needs touching up every three years.
As long as you ensure that you purchase high-quality wallpaper, you should see the benefits for many years to come.

If you’re interested in adding texture to the walls of your home, wallpaper is a fantastic way to do this. With the innovations in wallpaper, there are now a plethora of textures available from glitter to 3D shapes, suede and many other options.

Easy To Change
If you decide you fancy a change from your current wallpaper pattern, it is simple and easy to change. It’s best to remove the old paper before replacing it so that the new paper sticks directly to the wall.
You won’t have to spend hours waiting for the paint to dry, as the paper will be dry to touch almost immediately.
The finish, when applied correctly, will be perfectly smooth and flush, with no uneven paint streaks or brush strokes visible to the eye.
Easy Up-Keep
The high durability of most wallpapers means that there is little to no up-keep. You won’t need to touch up the odd mark here and there, and when applied correctly, no edges will lift, leaving your wallpaper looking perfect for a long time.
Although, if your house is home to young children, then it might be best to seek out a wallpaper that can be wiped clean!
