Very nice. I am not a fan of paper but both of those look great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with Mike... that wallpaper does look good. It's a nice change from plain, painted walls. I hope it stands up to the climate here. Please let us know how it goes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been up for a few months, if it starts to have issues I'll post an update. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We toyed with the idea but I'm a little concerned about humidity etc. I agree, and it´s quite easy to change when you feel for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the true name of them other than all yachtsmen referred to them as "Book Bugs." The are very small and similar in appearance to aphids - just tiny off-white specs that can move fairly quickly and seem to prefer the adhesive found on bound and paperback books to be a favourite food. I have no idea if they would eat wallpaper glue, but they devastated most of my paperback books on the yacht. Just another possible consideration... Could be silverfish, was a pest before wallpaper paste had insecticide added. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wondering about humidity and wallpaper over here. Back in the UK they have wallpaper for bathrooms. You can't get much more humid than that. unless you live under water lol. It's the adhesive that need to match the humidity. Flake paste won't handle the humidity, needs to be ready mixed paste. And stop calling it glue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard that before, We in the trades call it vinyl wallpaper, also use a heavy duty ready mixed paste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic wallpaper is more beathable and ecofriendly than old fashioned vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
