Wallpaper, by aj on Nov 9, 2007 14:52:31 GMT 1, In terms of modern style! B's pattern is all the rage at the moment and i personally prefer it. Do you really want trees and cute little birds staring at you for the next few years? keep it simple so as not to deviate from any nice art that's on the wall.

Wallpaper, by Harveyn on Nov 9, 2007 15:14:37 GMT 1, B - Might be an ideal to get a large piece of MDF (3mx3m) and apply the wallpaper to that and hang it like a huge canvas. You could also suspend it out from the wall using stainless steel pillars.
The benefits of the above are you get the look you are after with a twist and when your tired of it or its no longer fashionable you can take it down without your wall being knacker-ed.

I've papered my downstairs loo with old NME's. It's wall to wall punk. Pictures, reviews, news stories from 76 - 80. I'd love to move a fridge in their, but my missus has put her foot down.

aaaarrggghhhh NO NO NO ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Everytime I see 'Selling Houses Abroad' on Channel 4 they frame bits of wallpaper, it really annoys me, it's not art it's crap, if they want something on the wall in a frame, buy a print!
btw my choice is d, but personally I'd go with painted walls.

I used to buy the NME during those years, I'd have the full page LP and Single ads all over my bedroom wall, I remember the X Ray Spex ad and barely Jam - Tube Station, all good. They're all long gone now.

Wallpaper, by Harveyn on Nov 9, 2007 16:23:05 GMT 1, Wow touched a nerve there CBL. ..... ;D ;D
As you know its white walls for me or glass.
I agree on the framed concept but what I am talking about does not have a frame and is almost like a direct replacement for the wallpapered wall. Because just like death and taxes one thing is for sure one day you will look at it and regret doing it. At least with the MDF there is less permenance.....

If she saw a thread where someone was asking the forum which wallpaper to use!!!!! Well......
Use paint on all walls by the way, patterns clash with prints ;D

Totally agree, even if its painted brickwork and looks like a comprehensive schoolroom, infinitely better than wallpaper... let your art do the talking.
