Hello,
Now that the question of wallpaper or not has been answered, I would like to ask about wall paint recommendations.
At the hardware store, there is a brand called Alpina; it’s called Renovierweiss and costs 25 euros for a 10l (2.6 gallons) bucket.
Is it suitable to buy this, or should something higher quality be used, such as Brillux, for the walls?
Regards, Markus

We also use Keim, although I also liked Kreidezeit paints very much.
In 2017, Stiftung Warentest conducted a comprehensive test of wall paints and rated brands like Alpina, Schöner Wohnen, etc., as very good.
I think it’s also important what and on what surface you want to apply the paint.

I see that this topic is very complex. Now I have also heard about double-decker paint. Does it really work with just one coat?

Read through the test, Alpina original is a two-coat paint, good value for money. Thanks

For the new build, we used the paint from the professional paint store – the large buckets that every expert carries out.
If now and then something gets repainted, meaning a different color, and especially during the Corona times, I chose the Schöner Wohnen paint. Desert Magic of course looks much better than Bahama Beige 😉

We added accents with "Strandgade" and "Alexandria" ... 😉

Alexandria was my first choice, but it didn’t quite match well with our natural-colored tiles 🙂
