Paintable wallpaper
There is a nuance with the thickness of the wallpaper, the higher their density, the better and the less will be noticeable that the paper under the paint There are embossed wallpaper for painting but they look very cheap, the result is visually repair of economy class.
In my opinion, painting is a more versatile solution, it is suitable for areas that get dirty and for wet areas, can be easily updated and restored. In what cases is it unambiguous: only wallpaper? If you want a special pattern and pattern, if you like English classic interiors. Only the designer will choose the exact solution that suits you, sometimes I was in the cottages, where in one room there are 5 types of wallpaper with different patterns!
