Introduction to Wall Coverings - A Personal Tale

One of our first major arguments in marriage came as newlyweds when we decided to wallpaper our bathroom together. To this day, I do not know why we decided to wallpaper the bathroom in a rental apartment. The real “fun” began as we began to hang our wallpaper. My husband’s goal was to have the wallpaper up in one day. But my goal was perfection and attention to detail. Not only were these differences of personality working against us, but we picked the bathroom with all its mirrors and towel racks and shower stalls to go around. Our joint project ended with my husband declaring that he wanted to find the matches so that he could burn the whole project down, and I was left to meticulously finish the project by myself. The project did get completed, and looked pretty good considering the circumstances. But only after two episodes of my fingers being glued together by super glue (I used this to fix all the places where the wallpaper was not sticking to our improperly prepared wall) and not very pleasant memories for the love-struck newlyweds.

Many of us have similar “horror” stories about wallpaper and other home projects. Hopefully this article about wall coverings can help you avoid many of the pitfalls that my husband and I and so many others fall into when it comes to decorating your home with wall coverings. Wall coverings can be a great way to create a new look and feel for your room, without having to change all the furnishings of your room. There are many options and possibilities that exist when it comes to wall coverings, and you can discover the perfect expression of your new desired look.
