Is wallpaper fashionable or is paint better these days?


As we've not been primed with any more clues than in the title, we've pasted a few angles here to see if we can offer a (brush) stroke of inspiration.

If you're decorating your PC/laptop's desktop background, why not use the 'Paint' application to design a new 'wallpaper' - best of both worlds.


If you want to pimp your ride, then sprayed iridescent paint offers a sleeker finish than wallpaper. Add vinyl logos to complete the Fast & Furious look. Of course if your wheels are slower and you happen to be a highways technician, opt for paint for your road markings; we're unconvinced by double-yellow-wallpapered-lines, they have their obvious flaws.

Or perhaps you're thinking fashion/ body art - we wouldn't advise you wallpaper your toenails or try chocolate body wallpaper; you just end up tasting funny. Hmm... no change there then...

Creating that artistic masterpiece? Again, paint is preferable unless of course you're entering for the Turner Prize.

However, we suspect you're talking about decorating the insides of your home in which case these days either goes. In fact a combination of paint and a wallpapered 'feature wall' is a popular choice (note: wall NOT ceiling). Bright and bold prints, none of that old wood chip! If you want to be bang on the trend, consider a feature wall with a mural. You can even have one of your own photographs converted into wallpaper.


Not ones to gloss over external decorating, although we'd love to see the outside of your home wallpapered, that strikes us as being rather (g)loopy. You're better off watching paint dry.

There, that's enough for anyone's palette, we hope we've helped you to make your decision. Now don't get over emulsional we're off to wallpaper the town red...
