Wallpapering in a Weekend

by Anthony Evans

Published 28 April 2000
A guide to wallpapering, containing step-by-step instructions to tackle both the large and small jobs - the functional and the decorative. There are over 30 pages of techniques which cover everything the novice wallpaperer should need, from estimating quantity, stripping and papering wall surfaces to cutting and pasting the first length of paper. Tricky problems like matching patterns and papering around obstacles are covered. The eight projects contain practical and creative ideas, including suggestions on mixing patterns, co-ordinating colours, creating panels and borders and even using wallpaper to create trompe l'oeil effects. All the projects are illustrated with step-by-step instructions, colour photographs, a full list of recommended materials and a suggested timetable.
