Which wallpaper where

Glass fibre is strong and can be painted over, handy on a wall with hairline cracks. Non-woven wallpaper goes up easily and comes off easily later. For a bedroom or dining room with character we like to hang paper wallpaper with a large pattern. For that we first measure exactly how the pattern will fall.

The preparation

Old wallpaper comes off with steam. Then we fill holes, sand the wall flat and apply a primer. It sometimes takes longer than the papering itself, but it is why no seam has opened up a year later.

Questions about wallpapering

Can I choose my own wallpaper?

Of course. Just tell us which wallpaper it is before you order, and we’ll work out how many rolls you need. With patterned wallpaper it’s often more than you think.

Can wallpaper go in a bathroom?

With moisture-resistant wallpaper, yes, away from direct splashes. We advise against it above the shower.

Floral wallpaper in the bedroom, with a pattern that just carries on around the chimney breast. I still don't understand how they do it.
