Wallpapering twist

There are many styles of wallpaper and it is usual practice to hang the wallpaper in a conventional vertical manner.

However, you are not obliged to paper the wall vertically. You can also paper the wall horizontally. This method of hanging wallpaper gives your room a much larger and open feel. Like in fashion, if you wear vertical stripes it makes you look thinner, well this applies when decorating your room too. If you hang your wallpaper vertically it gives the impression your room is smaller!

When you paper a room horizontally rather than hanging the wallpaper vertically you create the illusion that your room is bigger. It is also much easier to hide the joins when butting up because the light will not create shadows as it runs ALONG the joins rather that hitting them.

This method of hanging wallpaper is of course not for the faint hearted as it is very difficult to do. I would recommend you get a trusted professional to do the job. Getting it done professionally is definately worth it as the effect is amazing. It really does make your space look bigger!
