Is It Time to Ditch Your Outdated Wallpaper?

Posted on January 8, 2025

Wallpaper can add character to a dining room or bedroom, but when it starts to peel, fade, or clash with the decor of your space, it may be time to remove it. Removing old wallpaper and replacing it with a new coat of paint can modernize your Atlanta home in turn creating a clean, updated look.

Why We Suggest Paint Over Wallpaper

Simply put, paint offers a versatility that wallpaper can’t match. Here are some of the key benefits we’ve observed:

  1. Modern Aesthetic: While wallpaper has been making a comeback in interior design, paint has a timeless appeal due to its almost infinite color options and finishes.
  2. Easier Updates: Unlike wallpaper, which can be quite labor intensive to replace, paint allows for quick and straightforward color changes when you desire a new look.
  3. Low Maintenance: Painted walls are easier to clean and repair compared to wallpaper, making it the perfect options for families or high-traffic areas.
