What is cool these days, painted walls or wallpaper?

Mural painted walls :)What is cool these days, painted walls or wallpaper?
COOL ? I guess the general consensus is to talk people out of having wallpaper cos the walls never have 90 degree corners and thus they are hard to match up.





The sensible way is to smooth down ur bare walls and paper them with lining paper. Then you paint them accordingly to match with your carpet or sofa.... not the other way round.What is cool these days, painted walls or wallpaper?
Painted walls.
Paint is the thing but, check your walls and see how many layers of wall paper you have on it first, that will make the decision easier for you.
painted wallpaper should have been left in the 80s

Hi there,


I have just spent over a week removing wallpaper from my livingroom walls and then had to plaster some areas. I then hung lining paper (which is hung horizontily) and painted the lining paper and it looks fab!!


My wife thinks so too!
If you want to start a little business you could jump on this train...





it's seemingly the future of wallpaper...

I prefer paint, as long as you do all the prep work to make it look good :-)
I don't think its really a matter of which is ';cool';, as cool is simply a matter of perception in the first place, but paint is much nicer in my opinion because it looks less tacky, is easier to maintain, can be altered much more easily and is easier to apply paint than the ';oh so joyous'; let alone messy task of wallpapering. It does however depend on whether its already wallpapered, because that means you have to strip the wallpaper...which is a tedious and time consuming task.
Depends on the state of your walls. Myself i prefer paint, wallpaper collects dust and easily gets dirty. Im lucky all my walls in the house are fairly new so they just get painted.
Paint. But means you've gotta sort your walls out to be nice n smooth first.
Wallpaper
some people would have you believe that wallpaper is really funky and retro - but unless you are living in the King's road and can change it 2 or three times a year , looking ';deliberately ironic'; won't work. Plain walls everyt time.
What has this to do with Cars %26amp; Transportation?
I like paint but plain wall papers fine..
wallpaper. definitely wallpaper.
Painted walls in neutral colours.





Ive just done my bedroom in chocolate and cream ,it looks lovely.
Kill two birds and paint your wallpaper.
Paint. Wallpaper is for the Hyacinth buckets of this world.
..whatever floats your boat....
To get it ';cool'; - install an air condition unit.
I`d definitely go for lined plain paper walls for a smooth finish then paint, we`re moving into a new house just now and the wife has had it done in two tone contrasting colours, looks beautiful.
Wallpaper painted over.
You could try paint with a feature wall papered with a design of your choosing. There are many about but the good thing is doing it this way you can get a roll of the more expensive designer wallpaper if you like as it is only one wall. Hope you like the result whatever you decide.
If the walls are good paint , if the walls are not then a very delicate pattern is better, not the big flowers that were popular year's ago ,where you thought the garden had come in and climbed the walls . It is a matter of taste.
painted walls is much more modern or both wud look good too with one wall having wallper on it as a feature wall, and the others painted.
