Is it cheaper to paint or wallpaper?

• <div><p>It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs <b>$320 to $820</b> when applied by a pro, while paint only costs <b>$200 to $700 per room</b>. However, when comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">wallpaper versus paint</a>, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when I should repaint my house?

• <div><p>When you should repaint your house is largely up to you since it&rsquo;s primarily a cosmetic update, but many people choose to repaint when they notice signs of fading, bubbling, or peeling paint. You might also want to repaint prior to selling your home to boost its resale value or if you want a new color.</p></div>

Q: What is the most restful paint color for a bedroom?

• <div><p>Shades of blue, green, lavender, and brown can all evoke a sense of calm when used as bedroom paint colors. Blues and greens are traditionally associated with rest and relaxation, but soothing lavenders and rich browns can also be visually soothing to allow you a good night&rsquo;s sleep. </p></div>

Q: What is the best time of day to paint outside?

• <div><p>While the answer varies based on weather, 10 a.m. is a good time to start painting. The dew will have dried, meaning there&rsquo;s no moisture on the house, and the temperature will likely be moderate and the sunlight less direct. Starting mid-morning should also give you enough daylight and pleasant weather to work on the job for several hours.</p></div>

Q: Can I use different paint finishes in one room?

• <div><p>Using different finishes within a room is the norm. For example, you might use eggshell on the walls, semi-gloss on the trim and doors, and flat on the ceiling. This creates contrast and highlights architectural details while allowing for better durability in high-touch areas. Just make sure to use a trim color that complements your walls.</p></div>
