Hi,
I'm just about to undertake my first attempt at decorating a room and wondering if I could get a bit of advice on a few questions I had:
1. What's the maximum amount of time I can leave between sizing the walls and applying lining paper
2. What's the maximum amount of time I can leave between applying the lining paper and painting/papering over it?? (We're thinking of painting 3 walls and papering over the 4th)
Sorry if these seem like silly questions, but my mother (to whom the house belongs to) can't decide on what paper/paint she would like the room finished in, so I thought rather then leaving the room with bare, old plastered walls, I could at least cover it with lining paper and then leave it and come back to finish it once she has decided on what she wants!
Thanks in advance for any replies!!
P.S. I've come across a few decorating stores that sell 'insulating lining paper' I wondered if anyone had used it and would recommend it (2 of walls in the room are external walls I was thinking of whether it would be a good idea use the insulating lining paper instead of the normal stuff on those)...also if it is a good idea then any tips on using it would be much appreciated!!
Thanks again!!
