Good day to you, I hope you are having a great day so far. Today I want to talk about wall coverings, as these can help create that pleasant interior look you can fall in love with.

Do you know that a wall covering can create different kinds of atmosphere in a room? They come in a multitude of types and styles, and are comprised of all materials that may be used to cover a wall for decorative and/or utilitarian purposes.

Well, a few people would debate the aesthetic excellence of wall coverings over paint but we might be surprised to note that there is such a wide array of treatments that may be used to cover a wall.
Most wall coverings can retain their original beauty and performance characteristics for at least 10 years under normal usage conditions, whereas a painted surface must be cleaned more frequently to maintain its appearance, and generally requires repainting approximately every three years.
Why choose wall covering over painted surface?

Modern wall coverings contain aesthetic appeal which is unmatchable with painted surfaces.
Listed below are some uses of painted surfaces to achieve various states as opposed to the use of wall coverings:
• Flat Color: Painting the whole room, one color.
• Accent Wall: One room, one color except for one uniquely colored wall.
• Textured Paint: Paint containing a media to give it texture.
• Custom Paint: Mural designs using paint.
• Faux Finishes: Custom paint designs that add pattern and depth.
