Anyone is entitled to pursue any career they like and a person is not defined by their career or employment status but by the personality that they have. Your parents shouldn't be disappointed about anything as their son is happy and passionate about what he has chosen to do with his life and I don't doubt at all that you are extremely good at what you do. However I have to say most builders are common and you definitely have to be the most poshest, well spoken builder I have ever heard. You would have obviously picked that up from your schooling years at boarding school.
After watching your video I was brave enough and wallpapered a feature wall last weekend and OMG it was so hard. B and Q really nice cream damask embossed wallpaper and it was very thick wallpaper so maybe that's what made it harder to deal with.
Trying to line up the paper next to the other and make sure no overlap or gaps , same time match exactly the pattern, hold the weight of the paper and actually then brush down to not get bubbles, it was hard. Next time I think I will have to just recruit a posh boy builder to do it. Xxx
Really enjoyed this. Papered many walls myself, albeit in the 1990s. Wish I had seen this video then. Keep them coming!
Lubbly Jubbly Harry. Useful tips collected moi son ... Shweeeeet!
Great video! So glad I watched it as I'm preparing to do a feature wall with a nearly identical silver damask print (and my 1st wallpapering project ever). I especially appreciate the tip about starting in the middle in order to enhance the pattern. Thank you for sharing!
You're most welcome. Very best of luck. H
You posh boy Harry. Thank you so much. It's so useful. xx
Fantastic video. And a wonderful narrators voice you have Harry.
brown faye : Thank you 🙂
Great video Harry. Feel a little bit easier now about wallpapering. Cheers
Thanks for the great video Harry, I'm so glad you have mentioned to start in the middle as I'm a stickler for symmetry! Also about the heat, I was going to start tonight but the coal fires on so I'll wait till tomorrow now! First time wallpapering, wish me luck!
Faye Liddle
I've always been a stickler for symmetry too, so your comments are very much appreciated 🙂Very best of luck for tomorrow. And have a very happy New Year.
good tips there harry i normally mark the tops/bottoms and use scissors to trim and it always looks jagged your method looks easy to do and so much neater ty
Great thanks. Great video btw hope you upload more of your work!
Thanks Harry, really appreciate your tips in this video!
Kim P : Thank you. I very much appreciate your feedback 🙂
what a great video, very informative !!!!
Thank you Harry for this very informative video. Shortly, I will be wallpapering a living room feature wall on was very nervous about this as it was going to be my first ever attempt but thanks to you, I am actually looking forward to it!
Cheryl S. Very best of luck with your first feature wall. I'm sure it will go really well. H
Thanks for putting this video up, just doing my own decorating for the first time, this gives me a lot of confidence, thanks so much, it's a great help 👍
Your welcome. Very best of luck. H
Harry Great job. very well explained... Thanks
Josh Parekh: Thank you for the very kind comments . It makes it all worthwhile. H
Nice video Harry. One little tip I would offer is that if you roll the paper so that the back is facing the wall and not the front you will be able to drop the paper straight down the wall easily without getting any paste on front instead of having to handle it all the way down the wall, especially useful when dealing with longer drops.
Thanks for the useful advice.
When doing the video I definitely missed a few good points due to a lack of planning and the inexperience of working in front of the camera.
So all constructive comments that have been sent to me from other experienced Decorators such as your self are very much appreciated. Regards H
60MinuteSteve iiu
just finished my feature wall using your method .. was my very first time doing it and I'm so pleased with it .. I've done a fantastic job if I do say so myself lol :) .. thank you very much for this video it's been a big help :) x
Your very welcome. I am so glad you found the video helpful :-) H
Thanks really understand how you feel about symmetry. Its's everything! Loved your instructions and calm approach. Think I might get wallpapering now :)
S C : Thank you so much for the kind comments. Makes it all worthwhile 🙂
Thank you so much. Its the really kind and positive feedback that makes it all worthwhile :-)
Good video. I plan to do this soon. I don't think you mentioned cutting the paper a big longer than the wall, but I think this is agreat tip. In the past, I tried to cut it the size of the wall!
Thanks so much very informative video! looking forward to putting up my wallpaper 😊
Ella Bells: I'm very glad you found the video helpful. Very best of luck. And Happy Easter. H
good job harry, it's all on board thanks
You're very welcome. Glad I could be of some help🙂. H
Good instructions mate 🕯☕️
Thank you. Sorry for the slow reply. Regards H
That was an excellent video and will save me from making some expensive mistakes, so thanks very much!
You are very welcome. If there is anything I have missed I have uploaded another video ( wallpapering another feature wall ) in answer to all the comments good and not so good 🙂 Regards H
I'll take a look at the newer video - many thanks again!
+jono10531089 Thanks it needs some hits. I put it up a couple of weeks ago. The (wallpapering a feature wall ) video unfortunately doesn't belong to me but the new one does. Have a nice weekend. H
thank you for the kind comments. Happy New Year !
Very useful indeed. Never knew you start a chimney in the centre
Cool video sir. Best I’ve seen so far.
Thank you!🙂
Great video. Helped a lot thanks...
Very nice i,m loving this video
Thanks for the great feedback 👍👍
Really helpful video.. thank you for posting!!
Priyanka Kamra : Thank you for the kind comment 🙂
thanks for your video very helpful.
Best video on this topic!
thanks
thnk you so much, for such a helpful video.
Clear and simple thanks
Hi, thanks for the fab video, very helpful with lots of useful information and tips, so glad I watched this one and all the others.
Can you help with a few decorating question please. If the wallpaper (Laura Ashley) is to be pasted on to the paper can you still cut the corner edge with a Stanley knife or will it tear. Excuse my ignorance I don't know if wallpaper that has the wall pasted is different. Do you cut the edge with a standard Stanley knife blade or do you recommend a special cutting knife? Could you tell me what decorator tool is called that you used as a guide when cutting the edge with the Stanley knife, any ideas where to source?
I am wallpapering two alcoves (the rest of the room is emulsioned. The wallpaper is a large pattern and there are windows either side of the chimney breast in the alcoves. Do I start in the middle under the windiws and work outwards? Also should the pattern run continuous across both alcoves or have the identical pattern either side which would mean to the eye, two separate patterned areas if you know what I mean! if worked as separate areas I think I would have to start in the middle but do the pattern the opposite way. As the wallpaper will not run around the room I didn't know I'd it should look continuous face on the individual alcoves or individual. I hope my question makes sense it's difficult to explain what I mean. Thank you for any help and advice you can give me, very much appreciated. I tried to find a website to email you but couldn't find anything.
Keep the videos coming please - fab!
Awesome video! Thank you :)
Thank you very much for watching 🙂
thanks for the comment. I should have mentioned it in the video, my mistake. I had an inch left at each end and had to cut a small strip and push it into the corners. It was a little bit tricky :-)
Excellent work, Very confident..
alsilawisami : thank you🙂
Nice work! Good to see wallpapering from the midle and not the corner :)
found this video a great help . Thanks :-)
Thanks for the advice Harry, I understand what you mean. I think I will test both methods I have two large sample pieces I can practice with to see which method yields the most pleasing result. By cross line I take it that you would line the wall first horizontally with lining paper? After I do my test though of course. Is this because of the brand new skim coat or is it just to get the best finish? Any particular type of lining paper I should go for? The fire place does look lovely. I'm an electrician by trade and there's only so much enjoyment and satisfaction you can get from a perfectly square socket!! It's nice to sit in the evening and look at the result of my hard work? The wall paper will finish the job perfectly. If I get brave enough I could post a vid to show you when it's finished.
Great ill be trying to do my feature wall today wish me luck!
Great video Harry!! :)
Thank you :-)
Thanks! I didn't know I should start in the middle.
Thanks for the comment. Some decorators are from the school of thought that you should work your way from the corner and away from the window. I can see there point. But I think for symmetries sake the finished result is always nicer if you start in the middle. Regards H
Thanks for the tip about having fun. Often if you think you are going to mess up; you do.
It's very kind of you to point that out. I wasn't sure if I should have said that as it might have come across a little arrogant. But you are quite right, if you are nervous you are much more likely to make mistakes. So many thanks. Regards H
Brilliant video thanks
Danny Mistry : thank you for the kind comment. Makes it all worthwhile:) regards H
Thank you harry for your tips, my paper is a globe map, whether glue the wall or the paper not sure yet. Glue on the back of the paper do get the paper expand and is not so desired as its very hard to align them together as well.
Very useful and helpful video thax
Thank you. Useful video =)
very good i love this work
Thank you🙂
+Harry Anstice I love this work and I'm looking for help me i whant work
Thanks for the tips. However if you end up with a gap as it originally showed, how do you fill that bit. Do you measure from slightly off centre to avoid that problem or do you stick on a tiny strip in that corner ? Thanks.
+JANE HOLDEN Hello. Thanks for the letter. I`m afraid I had to stick a small strip in each corner.
The best way to avoid the small gap at each end in this particular case would have been to hang the wallpaper exactly in the middle of the wall instead of each side of the centre line.
The problem with that is it only works with repeat no drop wallpaper. Thats why I did it each side of the centre line as 90% of the time thats the best way. The inch gap was a little unfortunate but not too difficult to deal with.
Regards H
Might be worth mentioning that its advisable to always use a new blade for cutting and a dust sheet on the floor to catch any paste when pasting the wall, good video.
Thanks. I missed quite a few small details when I made this video, so all constructive criticism gratefully received 👍 I have recently uploaded a new video " wallpapering another feature wall " I hope you will check it out as I hope I have covered everything that I missed the first time round. All the very best. H
+Harry Anstice I will indeed Harry, , impossible to remember every little detail, it wasn't a criticism , I thought you did an excellent job, better than most I have seen, and I understand that this is intended for those who have not papered before, keep em coming
The best bit of any trade , have a right tools , never mind if it is expensive it makes jobs easy and right .
Martin T : I know exactly what you mean. Having the correct tools is essential. Especially for beginners.
Well done! Iam going to make Steve do the same!
thanks Harry
.....i did that and it worked a treat.....now...when i come to paint window archatrave ...will you recommend a tape that will shield paper but not tear surface? oh and the pattrrn on mine was really staggered..so i lost about a foot or 14 inches each drop...i cut one roll all wrong ...but i learnt from it so not a total loss....
mick falvey: Hello again. There are probably many brands of tape on the market. But the tape I use for this specific purpose is made buy tesa. The different masking tapes come in different colours depending on what they should be used for. The tape used for masking over wallpaper is pink (it's the least sticky) If they don't have this particular tape where you are, just explain in you local paint store what you want the tape for and they should provide the correct one. Very best of luck. H
If you found this video at all useful. You can also find me on Instagram hanstice_wallpaper
Thanks for watching 🙂
On watching you vid, as a professional myself & you saying you were a stickler for symmetry, you didn't pick the obvious top to the pattern at the ceiling line. The pattern has a point to it, I'd have been sure that was at the ceiling line, to me attention to detail both sideways & ceiling line come hand in hand. I would have cut a cross for wire not a circle, pushed thru then cut minimum paper away, also, don't take sockets off, but feel for corners, lift wallpaper, cut to corners, then ease paper up to sockets & take off excess against straight edge.
Theresa Wood : Sorry for the late reply. In answer to your comment I totally agree with you about your first point. I completely forgot to mention it in the video ( and it's my fault) that there was going to be a cornice put up afterwards so the points of the pattern were actually in the right place. I totally agree with you about this point. I always check the top as well as the sides. (I cut into the ceiling for the sake of the demo)I don't agree with you about the x cut for the wire though. I see your point, but I find cutting a circle more preferable for me as it avoids tearing ( that's just personal preference 🙂). As for the socket. I prefer to remove it. My wallpapering partner agrees with your method though. I suppose we all pick up bad habits along the way. Thanks for writing. Regards H
thanks harry now oi know how to add a bit of perzaz to my feature wall. wish you all the best in life , once a
gain this really helped and i want to just say thanks , lots of love louis.,
Louis Morel: You're very welcome 🙂 And thank you for the lovely comments.
its okay anytime
Harry, I loved this video. I've watched a couple now as I'm papering a feature wall with (I think?) the exact same paper today, however, yours was the most useful. Ignore the negative comments and do not take them personally. I owned a business once and was often criticised as well as applauded online. Some were insightful, others were just plain pedantic!
Thanks so much for the very kind words. I did use to find the negative comments a bit hurtful. But I have become a lot more thick skinned over time. Thankfully the majority of the comments are very nice 😊
Very best of luck with your wallpapering. And have a very happy Easter.
Did you go to posh boy school like Eton ? As you sound more like a Doctor than a decorator. Harry you are a very well spoken boy! !!!!!!Forget the wallpaper your voice is so nice.
shanaz Niazi: Hello. Thank you very much for the compliment. You are spot on. I did go to an all boys boarding school. I think at first my parents were a little disappointed that I chose a life of decorating. But I suppose we all have to choose our own directions in life. I have very few regrets. Best wishes H
Fab thank you 🙂
Thank you for watching 👍
Noah called, he wants his measure back.
rad6666
Lol! I suppose we just get attached to our old tools 😉
imma Di Maio. so sorry for my late reply.
In answer to your question after 6 drops of wallpaper there was as you pointed out an inch left at each end. So to fix it , with the remaining length of paper I cut 2 inches of each side.
I then using lots of glue firmly held the strips into the corner butting the joins firmly together then applied extra pressure with the strait edge in the corners and less pressure to the blade so the paper moved as little as possible.
Hope this was useful. Harry
Hi Harry. How are you? Fun to see a video of you when randomly searching for advice on wall papering. Super useful video. I had it it playing in the back ground first and thought the voice sounded very familiar! We are about to put up Jotun glassfiberstrie over old ´strietapet´. Any tips? Will the same priciples apply as you just in this video? I´ll be watching this video again and again just to make sure we am ready for this daunting task. We living in Tina´s old flat.
Hello! what a nice surprise! Great to be back in touch.
The principal is the same if you are applying new glass fiber over old structured glass fiber. But the preparation could be very different depending on the state or the type of glass fiber that is already there. I will try to get in touch with you again and hopefully talk to you before you put up the new glass fiber.
All the best H
Good mechanic...
Great video Harry, I have just installed a hole in the wall type of wood burner (cassette type) that sits inside and surrounded by a split faced slate tile panel. This is the main feature in the lounge and to really make it pop off the wall I want to use wallpaper either side of the panel and into the corner to make it a complete feature wall. The wallpaper is from Zoffany it's called Fiamma ebony. It's a vinyl type no pattern as such it says to reverse hang alternate lengths? The wall has been skimmed with normal thistle finishing plaster and the slate panel sits dead centre but is slightly uneven along its edges. Any tips for papering either side of the tiled panel with these variables would be greatly appreciated as the papers £90 a roll!! Gulp!!
Hello again. The fireplace sounds lovely. I will try to help as best I can without actually seeing it. The first thing I would do is cross line the walls. There are a number of options for wallpapering away from the fireplace. If the edge of the slate isn't too rough you can start wallpapering two or three mm away from the edge. That would give you a nice clean line. Or you could take the wallpaper right into the edge of the slate so that you have a cm or so to play with, as if. Your going round a corner. Then follow the contours of the edge of the slate through the wallpaper,, tightly as you can with a blunt edge like the one on the end of my knife. Then carefully cut down the contoured edge freehand or using a very small putty knife. Or you can do the same procedure, but instead of cutting with the knife, after you have worked out the contours of the slate walls edge. Lift carefully away from the wall and cut along the contoured line with a pair of very sharp scissors.
I hope I have explained clearly enough. You may have to read it a couple of times before it makes sense
Very best of luck. Ps They suggest you hang the wallpaper alternately in case of discolouration in manufacturing. Regards H
👌🏽 helpful tips
Bhavin Tolia : Thank you.
Thanks really helpful
Kaleda Begum: Thank you for watching 🙂
nice !
Lovely
Fatma Mohmmed : Thank you 🙂
Hi great video and taught me loads. I particularly like the bit about starting in the middle. Can you do the same with a half drop pattern repeat. Have you any clips on you tube for me to view please.
+Malcolm Armitage Hello. Very good question. It is especially important to start from the middle with a half drop wallpaper. I have a few other decorating advice videos on youtube. but only one more wallpapering video.
( wallpapering a very small room ) plus two painting ones ( cutting in with masking tape. Part 1 and 2 ) I hope they are of some use. Regards Harry
harry any tips on hanging paper on a high stair case wall should i start at the highest point and work out from there ?
sinnis biker Hello again! When wallpapering a staircase, just as you suggested. I usually start from the highest point and take it from there :)
Hello. I can`t be sure without looking at the wallpaper but I am pretty sure that it is a paste the wall paper from what your telling me. Most mural type wallpapers are. It should come with instructions, but not all do.
Very best of luck.
Great video, really helpful. I have a feature wall I am going to wallpaper but it ends on an external corner. Do I start in the middle as shown in the video or at the external end?. If I start from the middle how do I cut on an external corner?. Expensive wallpaper so want to get advise before starting. Thanks
Lorraine Levens
Thanks for writing. If wallpapering a feature wall with an external corner, my advice would be to start from the external corner and work my way inwards. But start from about a millimeter away from the corner to avoid damage as the corner can easily be scuffed. Regards H
loved the vido do you have one showing how to wallpaper a ceiling please, i can do walls np but need to do 2 ceilings now x
I am sorry I haven't got a video on how to past the ceiling. But maybe I should do one. Thanks for the idea. In the meantime I believe there are a couple of wallpaper the ceiling videos already out there for you to check out. It's not as difficult as you would imagine. All the very best. H
Just wondering, the view out of the window looks like Scandinavia? or could it be Polish skirting board and power sockets?, A bit off topic just interested, Thanks for the vid. Davin
herbertthecat: Spot on first time 🙂 Norway.
Middle of January 🥶
Thanks for clearing that up for me. great wallpapering as well as location choice...
you should always start from the end where the light shines or you can get a shadow from any slight overlap in the paper. City and Guilds.
Benn Moore
Thanks for writing. "Although bad decorator is a little harsh" Starting from the middle or the corner is a matter of opinion. I like to start from the middle because I believe symmetry is very important if you are doing only one wall, because if you start in the corner the pattern will be cut in half at the other end. Hence the finished product not being half as pleasing to the eye.
Starting from the corner is how it used to be done because many wallpaper hangers used to overlap the paper. But if as you say hanging from the corner helps to disguise shadow from overlap ( which a professional decorator shouldn't) my humble opinion would be that if you overlap you will see it regardless wether you hang from the middle or the corner. Regards H
Just a little tip to make life easier for anyone not used to wallpapering, that job would have been so much easier if you had centred the first sheet instead of putting it to the side of the centreline, then it would not have left that nasty little inch wide strip at either end and then you would have had larger but still equal cuts at both ends.
thanks for the constructive comment. I think you made a very valid point. I considered doing it the way you suggested. But as I made the video for beginners and not professionals like yourself I thought starting from the center point would be easier (just my opinion)
It was a little unfortunate that I was left with an inch at each corner. That very rarely happens. Bad judgment on my part :-)
and got the pattern centred top to bottom also as well as left to right
pm18r As a matter of fact the pattern top to bottom was done correctly as there was a wide cornice put up afterwards. The measurements were worked out before the video was made.
Harry, I have purchased a wallpaper mural for my son's bedroom, which is slightly smaller than the wall, thus leaving a border around the sides, top and bottom. The whole mural comes on a roll and, therefore needs cutting into strips before hanging.
Would you have any tips on how to trim across the entire mural in order to ensure alignment top and bottom, please?
Steven Brown : Hello. Usually murals on a roll have a dotted line top and bottom that you cut with scissors. But if that's not the case, what I do is hang the mural first then get two nails and tap then into the wall on each side at The top of the wallpaper where you would like to trim it then attach string to the nails and tighten it. Then using a strait edge, cut along the string line and remove the excess wallpaper before it dries. You can also do the same along the bottom if necessary. I hope this has been helpful. Regards H
hi, i was wondering how did you cover the little gap at the end because i want to know because that is the problem i had
Hello. It is exactly the same principle as with a wider gap. just cut a thinner strip of wallpaper. And when holding the strait edge into the corner, while cutting, hold the strait edge a little firmer to stop the wallpaper from moving, which it is prone to do when its just a thin strip of paper.
I have uploaded a new video "How to wallpaper a feature wall: which I hope covers everything I have missed in this video :-) I hope this has been of some use. Regards H
very useful
Great video Harry, thanks a million. About to embark on my first wallpaper venture and your advice will help a lot I am sure.
I have a question: one of my walls leads up to a slanted ceiling. I`ve tried getting a RUclips video with advice for that with no success: have you seen one or have you made one yourself? Thanks again in advance. T.
Hello . Sorry for the late reply.
Thanks for the kind words, glad the video was helpful
I had a look through some other wallpapering videos and couldn`t find one for walls leading up to a slanted ceiling either.
If you still havn t tackled this wallpaper problem yet then just send me a little more information and I will try to help as best I can. H
Thanks for the response. Basically I`m going to paper a wall in our attic. The wall leads up to a slanted ceiling at about 30 degrees. So from my left the height of the wall to be papered is about 2.5m all the way down to my right to a height of .5m. I guess it`s just common sense. As you said in that vid, just take your time and don`t rush it. But, clearly you`re the expert and this is my first go at a wall and I weclome any advice. Listen, if you`d prefer, I can send you a photo of the wall if my explaination is not so good. Just mail me your address. Thank you again. Tony.
I have wallpapered many Walls with a slanted ceiling, They may seem a little daunting but its exactly the same principle as wallpapering a normal wall.
But judging from what you have written I would suggest that you start from the highest point and work your way down and as you said take your time
Very best of luck. Any more questions just write and I will try to help as best I can. H
Thanks a million Harry. Thanks again for your help! Tony
can you please explain at the end that little space how you put wallpaper on there? did you cut it into a strip?
Hello. You have to do exactly the same as if there was a wider gap. Just cut a strip that fits the gap and goes a little bit around the corner so that you can trim it. The only difference is that when you trim it you have to hold the trimming edge a little firmer into the corner as the paper tends to slip a little when it's such a thin piece. Regards H
Good video thanks
Thank you for watching
I'm sorry I got of with the wrong foot with you.I had a bad day.. I give you credit for doing a video
Thanks Harry I bought Norwall Damask Wallpaper from Walmart and there are no instructions on soak time.How can I test a strip to see what works best before I waste a whole roll on a wall?
Bob Abooey : Hello. Sorry for the late response. First thing you should do is check their website if the wallpaper has come without instructions. If the wallpaper is non woven then you mustn't soak it at all. But if it's a normal wallpaper then I use anything from about 3 to 5 minutes to soak the wallpaper depending on the temperature of the room. The warmer the room the less soaking time. Very best of luck. H
Thanks, Ill do my best:)
What part of the UK are you from?
Hello. I am actually Scottish. I don’t really sound like it as my parents moved around a lot as I was growing up. Private school may have had something to do with it as well🙂
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm much more confident to paper my new bedroom. That is lovely paper, what is it called?
Gee Willikers
Thank you for the kind comment. The wallpaper is called Serene by Kenneth James Wallpaper, code number 62-65817. I hope you find it. Best of luck with wallpapering your bedroom and a Very Happy New Year! Regards H

So do you mark the center of the wall, then place the middle of the paper on the center line? Or place the edge of the paper up tight to center line?
On this wall I made a center line and placed the wallpaper each side of the center line.
Harry Anstice
OK. Thanks for the advice.
+Absolute Plumbing Your welcome.
Would you do the same procedure for the other walls. I have one feature wall then we will use a different paper around the rest of the room.
+Absolute Plumbing I wouldn't do the same on each wall if you are doing the rest of the room. As you are doing the other 3 walls with another wallpaper I would start from the middle of the wall on the other side of the room and work my way round to the corners. That is if you want the pattern to look even. Otherwise start from each corner of the feature wall, but don't meet up in the middle of the opposite wall. Work your way to the most insignificant corner. Eg the corner behind the door if your door is in the corner of the room.
Tyvm....
You deserve a big like for what you done 👏👏. I like it.
Could you please write down the name for tools you have?
I need buy it but I don't know what name you called in English!!
bandar bandar
Hello. The tools you will need for hanging Wallpaper are.
A step ladder,
A sponge and bucket of clean water.
Utility knife with snap off blade.
A smoothing brush or plastic smoother for smoothing out the wallpaper once its been applied to the wall
Tape measure
A (wide as possible) putty knife or strait edge
Spirit level and pencil
A pasting brush for pasting the back of the paper.or pasting roller for pasting the wall.
depending on which type of wallpaper you are hanging.
Always read the instructions.
Very best of luck. Regards H
+Harry Anstice
thanks a lot that very help
Is that an xacto knife u used for cutting off the extra ?
Livelovelaugh
The knife I use is made by Olfa. And the snap off blades are also made by Olfa and they're called Excel Black. They are the best I have found so far 🙂
Does anyone have a link to purchase this wallpaper? Searching for agerup colosseum isn't coming up with anything.
super video harry..Wat is the life of wallpaper??
jagdish k : Hello. It always depends on the quality of the wallpaper. But most wallpapers should last many years. Some survive wear and tear better than others. But for example the wallpaper in my grand parents house has been there since Victorian times, about 140 years old. The wallpaper nearest the window is a bit faded from sunlight though🙂 regards H
How much does a decorater charge to wall paper 3 rolls of paper I've been quoted ridiculous prices I think I'll do it myself . Good video
Thanks mate I was charged £150 and they left bits out and didn't trim the paper along the skirting or ceiling so I have to finish it myself .
steven Dillon
It's probably a bit too late now but I hope you didn't pay them before they had started.
No professional wallpaper hanger would leave the top and bottom un trimmed.
If they worked for a large decorating firm I would complain to their boss! I hope you took photos.
You should never have had to finish the job yourself. At least not at that price.
30 quid
I am very appreciated if anyone can advice me what is the glue and wallpaper to use for concrete wall. My home is made of concrete not wooden. Thanks.
Hello. I have wallpapered many concrete walls. If they are smooth, treated well and painted they are the same as any other wall. But I would suggest that when wallpapering a concrete wall you should use past the wall wallpaper with ordinary past the wall glue.But if you can't find one you like, and you have to use ordinary wallpaper I would advise cross lining the walls first. Very best of luck H
😍
this is the exact same wall paper I'm about to put on my wall haha
Kyle S: I hope it goes well. You've obviously got very good taste 🙂 H
Where do you usually buy the wallpaper from?
Hello. I usually get my wallpaper from a place called tapetgalleriet I have details on my latest video "wallpapering another feature wall"
But if you are talking about the brand it's by Kenneth James Wallpaper and it's called Serene this particular wallpaper is code number 62-65817. I hope you find it. Regards H
I will try to find out the make of the wallpaper for you.
It may take a couple of days as I hung the wallpaper a few months ago.
But I will see what I can do.
Once you have the brand name it should be easy to find.
Regards. Harry
Thankyou
