One wall or all the walls?

Would the bedroom look like the interior of a shed if I papered all the walls with this plank design?

One wall or all the walls?

Um. One wall at most.

Layoverlife · 23/10/2018 13:41

I would personally only do the 1 wall

justpaintit · 23/10/2018 14:12

Thanks. The walls are in bad condition and need wallpaper rather than paint.

Thick lining paper is your friend. I might try a different pattern on that paper though.

justpaintit · 23/10/2018 14:32

Is it awful paper? Honest opinions😀

I would use lining paper or a glassfibre paper and then paint.

It's not the nicest thing I've ever seen.

*si1verSmile. I’m starting to go off it myself.

"I’m starting to go off it myself."

What a relief!

I was about to suggest you papered one wall ........ in someone else's house!

justpaintit · 23/10/2018 15:26

DeaflySilence that made me 😂

Oh thank God @justpaintit

justpaintit · 23/10/2018 18:16

Si1ver. You sure you’re not just saying you hate it in case I put a huge order in and there won’t be enough left for you? 😉

😂 busted

justpaintit · 23/10/2018 21:17

Thought as much.

Oh phew!

I was going to replace and say none of the walls Grin

Definitely use lining paper... our decorator used some weird but good stuff on the parts of our wall with dodgy plaster. Then paint!

AnotherEmma · 23/10/2018 21:21

reply not replace

Titsywoo · 23/10/2018 21:23

It's not a great paper. I've got one room in my house fully papered and it's lovely but it's a pretty subtle one www.lauraashley.com/en/uk/invt/3422520?source=aw&awc=2364_1540326177_49e8d299653c4bd18708a7b97b2203ca&utm_source=AWIN&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Social+Search.

Titsywoo. That is freaky. I have the Lille stripe in gold on one bedroom wall now 😳. It’s lovely but is really
Marked and ripped in one or two
Places. Such a coincidence

Titsywoo · 23/10/2018 23:41

Ha, funny. It does look great for a full room too.

SilverySurfer · 24/10/2018 00:50

Definitely zero walls

justpaintit · 24/10/2018 10:46

Si1ver that’s lovely but too expensive. The good thing about Laura Ashley is the frequent sales.
