Why you shouldn’t give preference to wallpaper for painting?
Many people like painted walls. They look not only beautiful and stylish, but also neat enough. A few years ago, when it was fashionable to glue horrible paper wallpapers with flowers on the walls, some dared to go against this trend and covered the walls in apartments with paint.

What can be the decoration of the wall?
Today, it is already quite easy to move away from this type of decoration, such as gluing wallpaper on the walls. Thanks to modern developments, people have the opportunity to make the surface of the walls both smooth and rough, and use as finishing:
- Colored or pearlescent decorative plaster;
- Paint. Moreover, in the process of applying paint, you can create a certain pattern using rollers on which there is a pattern;
- Mixtures that take on an interesting look after drying.
Even if someone still has a desire to paste over the walls with wallpaper, now there are a huge number of varieties of such material. Thus, the owner of the apartment can choose wallpaper for every taste, color and size. In addition, there is an opportunity to choose different wallpaper patterns, ornaments or images.
Tastes are different
When choosing a material for wall decoration, many tastes diverge in different directions. Some people prefer wallpaper, as noted earlier. At the same time, some may like striped wallpaper, and it, in turn, can be longitudinal, transverse, wide, narrow, colored or black and white.
Some will give their preference to decorative plaster of different consistency or paint, which is available in all kinds of colors and shades.
Thus, we can conclude that today there are plenty of finishing options, and it is surprising how people still do not dazzle in their eyes from all this splendor.
Why you shouldn't choose paintable wallpaper as a finish?
Among such a huge selection of various materials for interior decoration, there is one that cannot be ignored. This is paintable wallpaper. If the desire of the owners of the apartment to paste over it with wallpaper can still be understood, then it is in no way possible to understand why in the future to apply paint to them.
For many, it remains a mystery why these wallpapers are needed, because in this case the costs will increase, because you will have to buy separately:
- Wallpaper;
- Paint for them.
In addition, it should be noted that it will not work just like that to apply paint on special wallpaper if there is no experience in carrying out such work. As a result of improper paint application, some of the wallpaper may peel off or roll into unpleasant lumps, since such wallpapers are mainly made of paper. Therefore, to perform such a technique, you will need to invite specialists, and this also brings additional costs.
Another disadvantage of such wallpapers is the presence of a pattern. If you plan to apply paint on them, it is worth considering in advance that it will not overlap the existing ornament, but only change its color. In this case, an alternative and cheaper option would be to apply decorative plaster to the walls and repaint it regularly at your own request. In addition, when covering the walls with plaster, seams will not form and the corners will not come off.
Finally, at some point, over-staining the wallpaper will start to detach from the walls, and it will look terrible. The only advantage of this material is that there is no need to level and putty the walls.
Thus, it becomes clear why this type of finish is not recommended for use and why it is better to replace it with alternative and more budget options.
