Wallpaper Are You a Fan?

No I'm not. After a while it looks tatty and often peels at corners. Furniture also leaves scrapes and tears in it. If you have painted walls you can wipe over, if gouged you can fill and touch up. You can also hang beautiful artwork and commando strips mean no holes or drilling.

Yeah am a fan. Made a big diff to my living room and other rooms after them being the same for a while. Would only peel at corners if it wasn’t pasted properly. A feature wall is a fab idea.

We have wallpaper on the wall going up our stairs as it was there when we moved in. I wouldn't have picked the wallpaper as it isn't a design I like but I have nothing against wallpaper. I wouldn't have it in my living room though, I would have it somewhere it isn't likely to get damaged.

In our old house we had lovely wallpaper but in this house it's paint only. I don't like feature walls as (for me) they are too bold and I prefer something subtle. Paintings liven up our walls. If your walls are uneven you can always use lining paper and paint over that.

We have wall paper and paint in bedrooms and living room I think it's more interesting

No I don’t like it but it’s all over my house! When we decorate I would like the walls painting instead!

Not a fan. I feel like I’d need to change it more often than painting everywhere. It’s nice for a while but paint is more continent. Can easily wipe it and stops my little one from peeling away at the paper lol

I think I prefer painted walls over wallpaper because if a child scribbled all over the walls or they ever got dirty from grimy fingers, you could just paint over it. Also, a painted wall feels much cooler to lean against in the hot summer months.

Before we moved I had wallpaper in most rooms. If your walls are a bit uneven, it can hide a multitude of sins! We now live in a house we have renovated and all the walls have been freshly plastered. They look so fresh and clean - I love it and won’t be papering. Painted walls are easy to clean and touch up. They are also easier to repaint if you want a new look. You can still have a feature wall by painting it a contrasting colour to the others?

no its a ball ache to put up and take down.

costs so much as well! i did attempt wall paper like 5 years ago and it was nice for about a year then i got fed up and took it all down and painted. now i just paint lol.

I've wallpapered featured walls and it's kind of handy as it doesn't need re painting over and over. My house was full of chip paper so other walls have also been stripped of the nasty stuff and papered with lining paper before painting

Not a fan but i do confess i did used to like hanging wallpaper back in the day. But wouldnt want it in my own home, dates to quickly, pain to clean and you cant touch it up like paint
