Paint feels like the responsible choice. And maybe upfront it is. But let’s break it down. Primer, two coats minimum, rollers, tape, drop cloths, and your entire weekend. And in a hallway or kids room you’re doing that again in two years because those walls take a beating. The touch ups never match. The shade gets discontinued. Suddenly the “cheaper” option has cost you three weekends and four trips to the hardware store. Good quality wallpaper just stays. And we mean years and years. Same as day one. No touch ups, no repainting. High impact. Funny how nobody really talks about that part.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
