What You Should Know Before You Choose Wallpaper |
|

|
Wallpaper varies greatly in its material content,
which helps determine how a paper looks and how it handles. Vinyl wallpaper
are popular because they are durable, fairly easy to install, and easy to
maintain. There are fabric-backed vinyl, paper-backed vinyl, and ones designed
to look like a three dimensional surface, such as plaster, granite, or grass
cloth, which are suitable for walls that aren’t perfectly smooth.
Fabric wallpaper are usually made of cotton, linen, or other natural plant fibers, such as grass cloth, hemp, or burlap. Most textiles fray easily and are not washable. Solid paper wall coverings include hand-screened papers, foils, flocked papers with textured patterns, and murals. Both textile and paper wallpapers should be installed by professionals. |

To determine how much wallpaper to buy, measure the
height and width of each wall using a steel tape measure. Round up to the
nearest foot. Multiply the height and width of each wall, and then add the
figures together to get the rough square footage. How a room is used will help
you determine what wall coverings are most suitable. Get a sample or one roll
and look at it in the room with your other furnishings or samples.
When it comes to wall-coverings choices, you may want to think outside the box, as they say, and consider new materials as well as traditional materials used in new and different ways. Think about new places to use them, such as decorative tile in the dining room or wood in the bathroom. You might choose an elegant linen or flocked paper for the living room. Either kind of paper texture will add richness to a room. About The Author
