Wallpaper

Available in many attractive designs and finishes, wallpaper makes a popular choice for home decoration. Although widely known as wallpaper, only a proportion of wall coverings are made from wood pulp.

If it is a first attempt at hanging wallpaper, avoid the heavier papers or the deeply patterned papers. If the area to be decorated has many awkward recesses, corners or a sloping ceiling, choose a plain or slight pattern, so the eye will not draw attention to difficult joining seams

Some papers come ready pasted. These papers are moistened in a special tray before hanging.

In a new house leave plaster for at least six months before papering to allow for consolidation.
