With the changing trends, you have the option of sticking with the traditional paints or going for the modern wallpaper. But before settling on which one to go for, you need to assess the advantages and advantages of the two.

Advantages of Wallpaper

Wallpaper can last up to 15 years and beyond, which makes it cost-effective in the long run.( properly hung wallpaper will last 3 times as long as paint)

Wallpaper adheres easily and smoothly to walls, hiding many surface imperfection.

It can add warmth, depth, and style to a room that monotone paint simply cannot achieve.

Beautiful designs, intriguing textures, and beautiful prints have an impactful effect on the décor of a room.

Wallpaper can be used to create a designer look in any space, and can also be applied to just one wall as a feature wall.

Wallpaper comes in a dazzling array of designs with an incredible selection of beautiful effects like pearl and glitter, raised inks, suede, gels, beads, foils,   embossed silk textures, and natural grasscloth.
 

Disadvantages of Wallpaper

The process of applying wallpaper to walls is more time-consuming than painting.

One can’t simply paint over it or apply different wallpaper if you get bored with the wallpaper without some prep work.

Removing it can be a hustle- Many of today’s wallpapers (non-woven technology) strip off in large sheets, but some older wallpaper can be more tedious to remove.

Before attempting your first wallpaper project, you should read up on things like making sure your first strip is level, pattern match, and hanging around corners.

Advantages of Paint

Paint can come at a fairly low cost and is normally fairly easy to accomplish.

Most people can do a paint job themselves and just need to buy the supplies.

Paint is relatively easy to paint over or wallpaper over if you get tired of the original color.


Disadvantages of Paint

Paint can only provide a color in a very limited spectrum of finishes from matte to glossy.…just to name a few.

Paint also chips and cracks over time, so you will need to reapply and touch up your paint job more often.

It is also can be messy to apply paint to walls, and you can easily stain your floors, ceilings, furniture or appliances.

Depending on the type of paint you decide to use, heavier oil-based paint dries slower than you anticipate and usually requires a professional to apply – so, you probably can’t apply it yourself. Oil-based paints also tend to run when being applied and are less resistant to heat.

Paint can also release volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), which are harmful to the human body.
While paint does last 5 to 10 years, there is a bigger chance you will repaint more frequently.

How Women Can Protect Their Property Rights After Marriage

By
They say property has no gender, but history shows a different reality, where property ownership has favoured men. This inequality is still evident, especially when it comes to inheritance after the death of a spouse.  Even though Kenya’s 2010 Constitution guarantees equal rights for men and women, many women still struggle to secure their rights to property. So, how can women make sure their rights are respected after marriage? Baoriat Agencies explains six key ways to ensure fair property distribution in case of death or separation. 1. Registering Jointly Owned Property  When a couple buys property together, it’s important to register it under both names. This guarantees that the other automatically inherits the property if one partner dies. Make sure both names are clearly listed on the title deed as co-owners. 2. Joint Tenancy or Tenancy-in-Common There are two ways to share property: Joint tenancy : If one partner dies, the other automatically becomes the sole owner. Tena...
