What sort of a freak designed Woodchip Wallpaper? They should be put against the wall and shot.

Well, wouldn't you just know it...

Ingrain wallpaper (also called wood-chip wallpaper) is a type of wallpaper. It consists of two layers of paper with wood fibre in between; different kinds of ingrain wallpaper are distinguished by the size and form of the fibre pieces.

Ingrain wallpaper was invented by German pharmacist Hugo Erfurt in 1864; marketed by the company his grandfather founded, it was first used as a decoration for shop windows, but began seeing use as a wallpaper from the 1920s on as well.

My whole house is covered. Every room. Every wall.

I hate it, especially as it is all magnolia, but hey, I pay about £100 a month rent.......

Woodchip is truly nasty stuff, thankfully we've seen the last of it in our place.
Pre-scoring with a Stanley knife helps if you're using a steam stripper.
