Or else, the walls will need to be skim-coated, which is quite costly, before painting. In fact, the paper will likely need to be sanded off. And, it will render it exceedingly difficult to remove the wallpaper. Using a poly or varnish will be the same issue as doing a heavy paint job over wallpaper. Or, maybe the kind of glaze that artists use for faux finishes. However, you are probably talking about putting on something akin to a polyurethane or varnish. Alas, it never happened, and I no longer have the wallpaper. The plan was to apply a very light film of diluted paint to further soften the tone on tone design. Years ago, I bought some wallpaper to put up in my bedroom. Well, could you apply something to the wallpaper, like a glaze after it goes up? Remember the post about fabric nightmares? Well, one of the places that do knit backing, Custom Laminations, can apply a matte lamination to your wallpaper before it goes up.

However, if it’s cheap paper, it’s likely not going to be well-designed, either. Today, I’m not going to go into what constitutes terrible design. However, what I am hoping is forever gone is cheap wallpaper with either a pseudo-quaint ditzy design. Well, in my opinion, it never went out of style. Laurel, before you begin, is wallpaper back in style? Please go and grab a cup of Jo– and a sandwich, maybe. What I’m going to try to do with these more informative posts is to put most of the photos on a separate post because not everyone wants to hang onto my every (pontificating – lol) word. So, please allow me to dive in here and get the nasty out-of-the-way before we get to the pretty pictures. In that case, there are some critical pitfalls that if you don’t already know about, you could very well find yourself with a frustrating and (expensive) mess. However, suppose you are considering decorating with wallpaper. Actually, I could write a week’s worth of blog posts and then some about what you need to know about wallpaper.
