wallpaper advice

[Melchett]

Hello, can anyone offer some advcie on wallpapering? Not how to hang it, but where.

In the lounge I want to paper two walls, the paper has a busy pattern and contrasts with the (magnolia) wall paint. The question is, should I only do one wall? Whenever I have seen rooms with paper and paint it has only been a single wall that's papered. Would it look weird that I papered two walls? The second wall has a window and french doors in it so I dont think it will be too overbearing, do you?

Would think it would look ok as long as it was opposite walls that you were doing. I've used wallpaper as borders, used 2 papers ( 3 strips of one then 2 strips of the other one )
Think it all depends on colour and room size if the room can handle it.

Hmmm, they are adjacent walls not opposite. But the room is a good size.

If it was me, I'd paint it.

Thats what I wanted to do, but I was overruled by the domestic management.

Tell her you are putting down a 'base coat' to 'stabilise' the wall, then just never quite get around to papering it.. sorted

Wallpaper pain in the ass to put up, pain in the ass to strip off.
So much easier to paint. But thats just me, each to there own.
