Texture And Pattern

Wallpapers come in various colors, designs, and styles. You can find anything from damask to stripes to geometrics.

Installation

Both wallpapers and wall stickers are easy to install, but wallpaper takes a bit more time and effort. 

Before starting to hang the paper, you must prep the walls by applying primer and paste. On the other hand, wall stickers are as easy to peel and stick. No muss, no fuss.
