Synopsis

Ever versatile, wallpaper has the ability to give rough plaster walls a fresh, smooth start and take the rawness off the inside of new houses. It can also create "instant" paint effects, allow us to experiment with deep layered background colour and even create an illusion of space and light. This manual demonstrates how to choose and use wallpaper to best effect. Step-by-step drawings illustrate essential wallpapering techniques and there are 180 colour photographs.
