First let's talk about the tiles, the advantages of tiles are strong and durable, look clean and beautiful good care of health, some dirty things with a wet rag a wipe clean, which is also an important reason why many people like tiles. If you choose a large tile on the wall effect will be better, the overall space will be more atmospheric. If there are children at home, will not worry about the children will be writing on the wall, even if the painting up a wipe will be clean, and the service life of the tiles is very long, generally not external damage, with a dozen years are no problem.
After saying the advantages and then say the disadvantages, tile of this material is relatively cold, if the overall style of the color tone is not good, then the home will look cold, like a hotel, like a hotel, no home fireworks.
In addition, if it is the southern region, in the rainy season, the wall is tile is very easy to moisture, the wall will have a layer of water droplets, time will penetrate into the wall inside, then it will cause the tiles to fall off the case. But to keep from returning to the moisture then you have to keep the living room dry can also avoid this situation. There are also large tiles on the wall of the master's craftsmanship requirements are still relatively high, if not done well it is easy to tile off the situation.
Then said latex paint, latex paint has the advantage of color variety, you can adjust a variety of colors, with the decoration style will be more coordinated, you can also do a variety of patterns. There is also easy to replace the repair, if the local cracks then you can carry out the same color paint brush on it, if it is a tile then the whole piece of tile should be knocked out, serious have to knock out the whole wall. After a few years think the latex paint color is more outdated, then you can shovel off to brush other colors, construction relative to the tile will be more convenient. Some people are worried about children scribbling and painting, now latex paint is also waterproof and stain-resistant, painting can be wiped off, so do not worry about this point.
There are advantages and disadvantages, the disadvantages of latex paint service life is not as good as ceramic tile, about five or six years on the problem, such as the choice of bad latex paint will have formaldehyde, and volatilization is slow. In addition, if the local damage repair will appear slight color difference.
Overall, the two materials have advantages and disadvantages, according to their own preferences and decoration layout to make a choice, if you like a relatively clean atmosphere, then you can choose tile, but do not recommend the use of large areas, can be used as a local embellishment, such as the TV wall on one side of the backdrop or dining room so that the effect is very better.
