Wallpaper vs Paint for UK Homes
Choosing between wallpaper and paint can be tricky. Wallpaper vs paint for UK homes depends on style, durability, and how the room is used. Both options have advantages, and the right choice often comes down to the effect you want and the condition of your walls.
At Whitehouse Painting & Decorating, we help homeowners choose finishes that look great and suit everyday living.
When Wallpaper Works Best
Wallpaper is ideal for adding texture, pattern, and visual interest. It works particularly well as a feature wall or in rooms where you want a strong design statement.
- Adds depth and character
- Great for feature walls
- Can hide minor wall imperfections
When Paint Is the Better Option
Paint is often easier to update and works well in high-traffic areas. Modern durable paints are washable and come in a wide range of finishes.
For durability guidance, many homeowners reference advice from Dulux decorating advice.
Combining Wallpaper and Paint
Many UK homes use both. A feature wall in wallpaper with painted surrounding walls can balance cost and impact. We can advise on combinations that work well together.
