Comments (2)I would paint the ceiling and walls the same colour and wallpaper the window wall and the wall on the right. Personally I would choose a white that goes with whatever curtains you are thinking of....See MoreHow to deal with old lining paper: remove, repair & prime, or repaper?
Comments (5)Just found this. I am repainting my kitchen and have painted over quite a lot of what appeared to be old textured emulsion. But in the section I am doing now it has become clear that it's old, painted-over paper: this became apparent when I found some that was loose. I have removed the loose bits and I am not too bothered about the resulting unevenness as the whole wall is an uneven mixture anyway which gives a not unpleasing rustic look. My worry is that, while the paper that is left appears to be well stuck down, what came off did so with such ease that the remainder may be less secure than it appears. I have had problems over the years with several aspects of the house thanks to evident botches done by a previous owner: I fear this may be another. The top edge of the paper in your photographs looks very like the cut back edges of mine. Has yours remained sound since?...See MoreWhere to finish wallpaper on a wall with external corner
Comments (10)Sorry , I can't quite picture the layout and what or where you want to paper. Generally finishing on an external corner leaves the edge of the paper visible, unless the corner is perfect it will look odd and the edge of the paper can be easily damaged. Perhaps you could put a wood corner bead to hand the paper up to, although that in itself may look odd....See MorePlastering Dilemma
Comments (7)Are you having a decorator to do your house? I'm wondering if a good decorator would be able to 'fix' it by filling it. I've just had my sliding doors fitted and there was a gap between the door frames and where the plasterboard was suppose to meet up to the door frame, I had 2 choices of making it good 1) plasterer to come back and re-do it or 2) decorator to fill it. The decorator decided he would fix it in the end as he came in to do the decorating and said the plasterer would make more of a mess and make more work for him. I was a bt sceptical at first and wanted the plaster to fix it but he did a good job and I can't see any join marks. I'll take a photo for you to see, perhaps that could be an option?...See Moremargretg2
