Wallpaper dilemma
Comments (23)Hi Liz, sounds like you've got an exciting project on your hands. My two penneth, for what it's worth, is that hallways are often neglected or left til the end. Some people don't think they are worthy of spending too much money on. However, I disagree. When you first walk in the door, or you move from room to room, your hallway gets oodles of views and movement throughout the day. When people visit - their first impression to your house is in your hallway, so you should start as you mean to go on. So rather than paint over the wallpaper and make do, if it was me, I would bite the bullet and take off the old wallpaper and repaint the walls. Whilst doing it, pay attention to the lighting in the hallway and make improvements to increase the light. I can't comment on what needs to be added from the pictures, but you could consider recessed lighting up the stairs, better quality pendant lights, placing mirrors opposite windows to reflect the light back in. Or why not follow Abigail Aherne's lead and embrace the dark side. Make it cosy, comfortable and a little bit quirky! There's lots to consider, but ditch the paper!! Most importantly, enjoy the process and don't think of it as a chore. It's exciting and the adventure is only just beginning....See MoreDecorator refused to wallpaper our room - please help
Comments (92)I love Josette wallpaper. I used it on my chimney breast in my old bedroom. Loved it so much, another shade went up under the dado up the stairs and in the hall in my house too. We then moved and we have it now in our new bedroom in yet another shade! I put the paper up in my old bedroom. It’s tricky but not the worst paper I have ever hung....See MorePOLL: To wallpaper or not to wallpaper?
Comments (9)As a wallpaper designer I think you know what I'm going to say...Wallpaper, of course! My latest designs (The Joinery Collection) can be mixed and matched on the wall for unique outcomes. This mirrored effect is just one way to go. Check out my bespoke design service too. I can incorporate branding, lettering and photography. www.identitypapers.com...See MoreWallpaper
Comments (12)The first paper visualises tin ceilings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was usually painted over in gloss paint to allow easy cleaning. Using this paper would create a very shabby chic room. Unless you're opting for a classic look or a very carefully contrived eclectic look, I wouldn't use the 2nd paper. Paper 3 will give you a classic wood paneled effect. Using it all over may be overpowering in a small room. Consider using it on the lower half of all 4 walls or just as a feature wall....See MoreRyan Everitt
