Questions
Living Room Wallpaper Ideas questions
Does wallpaper survive Indian humidity?
Non-woven papers on a properly sealed wall do. The failures are almost always damp behind the wall, or paper hung directly on unsealed plaster — fix the wall first.
Wallpaper or paint behind the bed?
Wallpaper if you want depth and pattern without adding joinery. It is the one wall in the house where a large-scale pattern is easy to live with, because you never look at it while in bed.
How much wallpaper should I order?
Wall area plus 15% for a straight match and 20–25% for a large half-drop repeat. Order the whole quantity in one batch so the print run matches.
Can wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
Outside the wet zone, yes, with a vinyl-coated paper and good extraction. Never inside a shower enclosure or directly behind a basin.
