Re Wallpaper: How many walls are recommended to wallpaper in a laundry

last year

In a small laundry room, I want to know how many walls are recommended to wallpaper without being overbearing or to make the room seem smalller than it is? I'm ordering the mini dachshund wallpaper from houzz.

If you “despise” a design element, why would you even comment? Why not just scroll on by? I don’t get it.

I would wallpaper all four walls in a small room for maximum impact. A laundry room is not a living space, so why would it matter if a wall treatment made the room seem smaller? I’d offer the same advice for a powder room, by the way. Have fun and go as bold as you like!

Sounds like a great way to add some fun to a work space. Be sure to post finished pics.

So how do we know that the drop match is 27 inches? How long is your bathroom. How wide is your bathroom? Did you arrive at the 27 feet by adding the four walls? If so, then multiplying by the 8-ft ceiling is correct. JMHO, but whoever wants to sell you 7 double rolls is wanting to sell more and whomever told you 3-1/2 double rolls (or 7 single rolls) is probably wrong. I think 5 double rolls is about right. Each wallpaper bolt (2 single rolls in most cases, 3 in very odd cases) will tell you what area in square feet it covers. Now if you have tile on the walls, you can subtract for that. If you have doors, windows, you can subtract for that. I just did a friend's 240 square ft bathroom using 5 double rolls and she had a 23-inch repeat. We had paper left over, about 1 double roll. Another factor is the paperhanger. Some will try to save your paper, whereas others will cut one length at a time and not care about wasting it. Good paperhangers, all, does not matter, will waste or save. I am going to say your wallpaper store probably is the most correct. Most companies encourage you to buy more for waste as sometimes, even experienced paper hangers will measure wrong, cut wrong, etc., and then if you have to order more paper, there is that chance the dye lots will not match.

Wallpaper focal wall for Bedroom?

Remember CL is your friend. You may be able to sell your current ones and buy second had new ones and they would be practically free. For a low cost option for this room maybe get two cheap round tables and cover them with a couple layers of sheer shimmer fabric. You need to spread some of the sparkle around the room. One reason the headboard wall looks 'blah' is that everything on that side is wood and ceramic and suede and you have the glass and mirror stuff all in one vignette between the windows. -------------- *A question...........How new are the mosaic lamps? Are they new enough to return? They are gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, but I am thinking that the glass lamp from Target might look better as two bedside lamps. (Target still has them.) They would really add that 'wow' factor to the headboard wall. Right now the impact of the glass lamp is diluted by being set on the mirrored table along with the mirrored jewelry box nest to it, in front of the wall mirror that has the mirror frame. That lamp has such a unique shape that is perfect when placed against a plain wall for use as beside lamps adding needed sparkle on that wall. I would angle the floor mirror further into the corner too. Hope you don't mind the unsolicited lamp advice. Its just food for thought.

I love wallpaper, and use it often. But I do agree about people who apply multiple layers or paint over it. Doesn't sound like any of you have ever had the challenge we had in this house. I kid you not--I counted carefully--our living room had TWELVE layers of wallpaper, several with pain on them. And we stripped every scrap of it off before doing anything further. One interesting thing I've noticed lately--the houses for sale in the neighboring town (one of the priciest, most 'desireable', most trendy in the country) are mostly showing very, very busy wallpapers lately. Guess it's coming back.

How to remove a mirror sticked to the wallpaper with adhesive sticker?
Q
Comments (7)
Dental floss might work, but it'll be a hassle feeding it behind those adhesive pads. Party's drywall knife sounds good. A putty knife should work similarly. You can sharpen the edge of a putty knife so it cuts better, and you can probably do the same with a drywall knife. I don't know where you'd get either one in Japan, however. (Not saying they're not available, just that I haven't a clue.) What you're looking for is something thin and metallic that will slip between the wall and the mirror and cut the adhesive pads. Keep in mind that you have to keep that mirror under control as you remove it! I've seen glass pros use big handles with suction cups. Once you have the mirror down you should be able to remove the adhesive residue with lighter fluid (naptha). Test it on a hidden area of your wallpaper first to make sure it won't damage the wallpaper. If it causes problems, try clear kerosene (the fuel used in portable heaters).

Wallpaper every wall. And the ceiling too if you like the pattern!

Yea, wallpaper it all (well, I wouldn't do the ceiling, though). A doggie print sounds like fun and will make you smile every time you look at it - post pics when you're done!

if you like the paper then all walls. I just did all 4 walls in a small powder room 3 x 7. I added crown and painted ceiling and crown semi gloss white vs flat white (the ceiling was smooth so it could handle the gloss. It really brightens and just gives the room a wow factor. I love wallpaper and 20 years ago pretty much had it in all rooms LOL. Now just the small bath. I am thinkin about doing a wall in my kitchen. My sons came home and saw the bath and ask me if I was going to paper everything again LOL. They were giving me ideas. They are in their 20s almost 30 now. It actually makes them feel comfortable happy. It reminds them of their childhood. :)

Thank you for the reply. This gives me confidence to move forward and do all 4 walks. I like the added idea for adding crown and using semi gloss in the ceiling. I’m going to do that to complete the room.
Thanks so much!

Not walks- walls

I’ve wallpapered bathrooms and they are a pain; a laundry room will be as well, or more so. To save all the finicky cuts, your time and the extra cost, I’d pick a prominent wall and only paper it. Once you add accessories, such as a runner, pictures, pendant, a fun paint color on walls, cabinets or the ceiling (or just paper it) you can have an impactful room with lots of personality.

Maureen,

Thank you for your opinion. It is a good point you bring up. I may do just 1 wall and put a picture on the longest wall. I'm painting the cabinets now. So yes, you have me rethinking papering 3 walls (i wasnt planning to paper the wall behind the washer & dryer).

Site below, but doesn't reference paper.

A large blue floral paper will be easy to find. Love this one and the bonus is that it’s removable peel and stick, which would be much easier for a ceiling application.
