My parent's house is so cluttered that they can't even use most of their spaces. At the same time, I also don't want to keep all my display items in a box in my closet, so I have a display shelf. The key is balance so that you show off what's important while not cluttering up your living space.
The thing about wallpaper is if you have something that damages a section of your wall, it's impossible to do a quick patch and make it look good as new. With a standard unpatterned paint, you can fix it and make it look like nothing ever happened.
