Both flexible stone and stone-patterned wallpaper are used to achieve a stone-like finish, but they differ significantly. Flexible stone is made from real stone and retains its texture and authenticity. In contrast, wallpaper with a stone print offers visual appeal without real texture. Wallpaper is more budget-friendly and quicker to install, while flexible stone is more durable and natural in appearance. Choosing between the two depends on your design goals, surface type, and budget.
