Grpahic of Christmas tree with presants under it. Champange bottles to the side.It’s nearly that time of year again, if you are thinking of having a room decorated before Christmas or the New Year now is the time to organise it so you won’t be disappointed if everyone is fully booked.

Before you decorate your tree why not spruce up a room!
(pardon the pun!)

Tips for ordering wallpaper

Grpahic of wallpaper being appliedWhen you have used our calculator to work out how many rolls of wallpaper you need for you room there are a few more things to remember.

  1. Think about the area in which the paper is going, do you need a heavy-duty paper, washable?
  2. Would having a blown vinyl paper not be a good idea if a cat or dog may scratch at it? Or if the kids damage it?
  3. Do you want a textured finish or smooth, textured and coloured or smooth then painted over such as lining paper?
  4. Ensure all the rolls have the same batch number and colour code on, except papers such as lining paper.
  5. Ensure you have allowed extra rolls for wastage and large repeated patterns (sometimes you only get 3 drops out of a roll rather than 4).
  6. Remember the paste! And get the right paste for the job; does it need to be a ready mixed heavy-duty paste?
