Making your house into a home can be quite the project. It is something that can’t be done without adding your own personal touch to your surroundings. Here at Furniture Store in NYC, we have found that the wall color and texture can do a lot to help you personalize your place. And this usually means choosing between paint and wallpaper.

Many people ask us to guide them on this matter thinking that there is a one-size-fits-all answer. The truth is that the best solution will be different for different rooms, houses, and people. But we have found that some of the best general things to consider for making this decision a little easier are as follows.

What is the main tone you want to set? If you are looking for a relaxing environment of peace and contentment, then you are going to want a paint in a soothing tone. There are some wallpapers that can bring about this feeling, but any patterns tend to get a bit busy. So, if you are looking for an immediate first impression to draw attention, then wallpaper is the way to go.

How often do you plan to change the room? If your whims of interior design change every season, then we suggest going with the paint option as this will be easier to adjust with your frequent remodels. Wallpaper is good for an almost permanent change as it can be hard to work with once it is up.
