So, you can put this in the list of pros because most of the time you would have proper finishing in you home.

So, choose that option and you would have great results too.

Cons of wallpaper
Need special care:

Although, wallpaper can be very tough and rigid, but still its damageable. You may need to pay special attention for the use of same. If a kid stabs any knife or fork in the wallpaper, then it may not survive in any condition. Also, that one hole may tear down the entire wallpaper as well. So, when you would ask me for the cons of same, I would say you must need to take good care of it. If you don’t take good care, and if kids make any damage in it, then you may end up loosing the beautiful look completely. So, it is a wise idea that when you do the wallpaper installation, make sure you keep such cons in your mind.



Not easy to remove:

While installing the wallpaper on your walls can be very easy, its removal is not that much simple. If you want to use a new layer of the wallpaper , then you don’t have to worry about such cons and you can add a new layer, but at the time of removing it completely, you will have to worry about it. At that time, there are various cons that you need to keep in your mind and this one is one of those. It is not easy to remove it and you may need to do a lot of efforts for same. Also, it will need a lot of time that is one of the biggest cons for same.

Need precise installation:

If you want to paint your wall you can do that with a roller brush and chances are there you would get a good result to. But if you try to do the same with wallpaper, then results could be devastating for you. You have to follow a precise installation method for same and if you don’t follow that method, then you may not get any good result also. This is definitely one of those cons that can restrict you to use it. So, next time when you think about installing it, keep this thing in your mind.

Reduce home value:

If you intend to sell your house after applying wallpaper, then I would suggest you not to do that. This simply discourage buyers to trust on you and it decreases the value of your home. I don’t think I need to explain the same to you again that it is considered as one of the biggest cons among those people that sell and buy home. At the other hand, if you are just doing it because you want to live and you have no intention of selling the house in near future, then you have no reasons to worry about this complication. In that case, you can easily use the wallpaper and you can get good result also without any complication or doubt in your mind.
