Wallpaper versus Wall Mural
Are you living in a big white box and need some colour or design? So many white walls looking clinical and boring. And now your question is what to do. Well of course I am going to say Wallpaper or Wall Mural. What is the difference I hear you ask.
Well, Wallpaper features small to large, repeating patterns that can be used on multiple walls, and is sold by the roll. Roll sizes can vary as do the textures, colours and designs. You will be spoilt for choice.
And a Wall mural is a single image or artistic scene designed be a non-repeating focal point. Typically, on one wall. Murals are often more impactful and can be custom-sized, making them a great choice for a feature wall. Think if it as Giant Art Work.
Both wallpaper and wall murals offer distinct advantages and can significantly enhance the appearance of an interior space. When selecting between these options, it is important to consider factors such as budget, design objectives, and the expected duration of use.
Wallpaper
Designs are repeating and vary from small, medium to larger patterns.
Customisation is not available generally to editing design or colour. But there are thousands of options available.
As Wallpaper is sold by the roll it can be more financially viable, and you won’t fall short of the design for your wall.
Wallpaper options can vary from Non Woven – Vinyl, and you have available across many designs also being Flocked – Beaded – Heavily Textured. Giving you a more 3D effect and feel.
Hopefully you will have a drop or two left over in case of any accidents and can swap out a drop. (tip: any left over should be kept in a cool dry storage area)
Wall Mural
Large-scale, unique, often non-repeating images like landscapes or art
Plenty of options available and some companies offer customization to fit your walls dimensions. But can be more expensive due to custom printing and larger scale.
Wall Mural options can vary from Non-Woven – Vinyl, but you will not have the benefit of Flock or Beaded Textures. Certainly, 3D Printing has come along way and can give you the appearance of text
If there is an accident you cannot just swap out a drop as you can with wallpaper, generally.
You can create a dramatic focal point on a single wall or a serene backdrop to your home’s walls.
Are you still a little undecided?
Wallpaper is recommended for its versatility, straightforward installation process, and extensive selection of designs. This option is particularly suitable for renters, individuals seeking cost-effective solutions, or those who wish to update their interior style regularly.
Choose a wall mural for a striking, personalised design that really stands out. Wall murals work especially well on feature walls, in creative areas, and for adding a unique touch to interior spaces.
Regardless of whether you choose a sophisticated wallpaper or a bespoke wall mural, your walls will serve as an impressive focal point that contributes to the overall appeal of your home.
