Hi Lainie, I have used removable wallpaper from The Wall Sticker Company in several of my homes and it is reasonably easy to apply - best if you have someone to help hold and smooth it out. It takes a bit of patience but the end result is sooo worth it! It will totally transform a dull space into something special :-) In my experience it also removes easily without damaging the walls, just like they promise. I have been testing some wallpaper samples out in my daughter's room, I first put them up about 12 months ago and have moved them a few times, they peeled off and re-stuck without any trouble. Here's an important warning though - don't attempt to clean the wallpaper or get it wet in any way as the dye will smudge. I have done both full feature walls and lower half wall borders around the whole room, both looked spectacular! Good luck with your decorating project xx.

I think it really depends on the style and look that you want to achieve in your house - you should never give someone the advice to use wallpaper without knowing their design aesthetic. With that being said, I think that wallpaper is a lovely touch in older heritage listed home, because you can add the modern touch through it to the home, depending on the pattern.

I would definitely paint out timber frames, they in themselves become the feature if you don't…..and I would hope you mean a soft grey! To "hide" skirts and arc's (I renovate and sell for a living) I do them the same colour as the walls but in a satin finish…..you could do semi gloss….a water based enamel works best. Make sure you prep them well though, either a good sand to rough up, or something like ESP. I always thought rule of thumb for a feature wall, paper or paint, is the wall opposite the greatest light source, ie. the wall that gets hit with the most natural light. Failing that, I think it would look lovely on the alcove/bay window wall and do the inset of the alcove/bay window in a contrast….say a soft version of the pinkish hues in the paper??? You seem to have some substantial pieces of furniture, and a piano, so doing the other walls would compete and look overbearing to me. Unless you are going the whole Regency style embossed paper/stripes/pattern everywhere…………...

Hi Belinda, I believe some of the 1940s wallpaper adhesives contained some nasties, including asbestos, so do have this checked before embarking on your project and do use every precaution to keep yourself safe during the process. As bigreader says, most tenants would likely prefer a more neutral look. If it’s for yourself however, you like it and the wallpaper is in good condition, go for it. Modern and trending wallpaper comes in every style, including 1940s style reproductions. It will certainly be a talking point
