Wallpaper verses painting
Wallpapering is more expensive than painting, at a cost of at least $55 a roll for a reasonable quality vinyl, compared to around $200 for 10 litres of top coat.
If wallpaper is damaged by careless tenants or family members, it's more of a challenge to repair compared to quickly touching up paint damage. .
But wallpaper is cleaner to work with, you don't have to apply second coats and it does look great. But in the end, as with most decorating decisions, the choice is yours...
Here's a couple of before and after pictures of a rental property in Melville. We stripped, sanded and repapered the lounge walls all ready for the new tenants. It was a nice change from our usual painting process!
