A high-quality paper with a stunning print can completely change the appearance of any space, no matter what your personal taste and style. With a huge range of styles, patterns and designs to choose from, you can be sure there is an option to suit your taste, and you’ll soon find yourself a wallpaper convert. However, before making any purchases, it’s important that you understand a little bit more about the process of [https://www.livingcolours.com.au/wallpaper-hanging-and-removal hanging wallpaper].<br /> <br /> 1. Knowing the difference between wallpaper and wall coverings&lt;br /&gt;<br /> It may sound obvious, but clever marketing can make it difficult to know exactly what you’re purchasing. Your walls can be covered with paper of course, but vinyl, fabric, foil and a range of other materials are available to you as well! Though you may want to avoid vinyl because of its reputation, when guessed as a backing for the wallpaper itself, it actually mimics the surface beneath the paper offering a far more versatile finish.<br /> <br /> 2. Understanding pattern repeat&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Unless you’re investing in the very best of the best (one-off runs that are completely exclusive) it’s important to remember that the pattern on the paper is going to repeat. When hanging wallpaper, one of the most critical aspects is ensuring the patterns line up – otherwise it will very clearly say that it is a DIY project. One way to avoid this issue is to choose a pattern that is completely random, so there is no need to match the strips.<br /> <br /> 3. Say goodbye to paste&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Gone are the days when you had to cover the strips in sticky paste before hanging wallpaper. If you’re undertaking a DIY project, many brands now offer pre-pasted or self-adhesive wallpaper, allowing you to complete the task with relative ease. Pre-pasted options require you to add water or a manufacturers solution to activate the paste, whilst self-adhesive simply requires you to peel away the backing – both are far easier to use than traditional ‘dryback’ paper.<br /> <br /> 4. Prepare for change&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Our grandparents likely thought that hanging wallpaper was the height of fashion and something they would love forever, but hindsight shows us that that isn’t necessarily the case. The same will be true for your paper, as styles change of trends come and go. How you eventually change the paper or remove it completely will have an impact on the appearance of the room in question – our top tip: never paint over the paper, remove it and start again from scratch.<br /> <br /> 5. Be sure to choose an easy clean option&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Just like everything else in our homes, our walls will become dirty over time. That’s why we recommend hanging wallpaper that is easy to clean. Choose stain resistant finishes or easy to wipe down options – this way, you can ensure your paper looks its best well into the future.<br /> <br /> The ideal way to update your home and inject your personality into home, hanging wallpaper is no longer the domain of the elderly. However, to ensure you love your new feature for years to come, we recommend understanding more about the process – that way you know exactly what you’re getting into. It’s also a wise idea to work with an experienced hanging team, even if you’re trying to save on costs. Not only can they hang your new paper far better than you ever could, they can also direct you toward [https://www.livingcolours.com.au/interior-house-painting interior painting] colours and patterns that will complement the space as well as your personal taste!&lt;br /&gt;</div>
