Wallpaper or Paint !

Paint every time for me, I do have a feature wall in most rooms.

Paint. It's much easier to freshen up or change a look. Wallpaper requires scraping off.

Wallpaper every time.

Paint.

Paint. I have never liked patterns on the walls, as it restrict ones choices of other furnishing (unless you like clashing patterns).

Wallpaper for me. I've got a beautiful sample with a parrot looking at me right now.

Generally paint, although I have used very light embossed paper to paint over on some walls.
Feature wall in kitchen diner.

When we moved in our home the lounge had a feature papered wall. Knowing that is hard work removing every trace of the wallpaper paste prior to applying emulsion we simply changed the wallpaper. Otherwise, it's emulsion all the way.

Paint. Although I had lining paper put in the all before painting, because the plaster wasn't great. I'm regretting that choice now. The joins are becoming more and more obvious and it doesn't look good. But it cost hundreds to do and I'm reluctant to pay that much again when I've got such a long list of other things that need doing.

My favourite is white everywhere. I love the calmness of it. I'm a very non-fussy person and can't stand ornamentation.

We are moving from wallpaper to paint in what feels like a never-ending house decoration project.

Wallpaper looks more 'done', I think, and of course you can get effects with it that can't be done with paint (unless you get Michelangelo in ). Another thing is that Mr Dog thinks he can paper, but he's never been great at it, and as he gets older and his eyesight isn't as good as it was, he can't tell that the joins are obvious and that the edges of the rolls aren't flush. I've got decorators in this time, but he's still muttering about how he could do it himself.

Whoever does the work, the downside is that it takes work to remove paper, and even then, it's very difficult to get a wall returned to its original state for painting. When we embarked on The Decoratathon, I decided to get everywhere painted, so that future refreshes will be a lot easier. The decorator has advised putting up thick lining paper and painting over that, so that any residual glue or lumps and bumps will be smoothed. Obviously that means paying for both papering and painting to be done, but in theory it will save money and effort in the long run. If anyone has paintable walls (ours were papered when we bought the house) I would advise them to only paper them if they are certain that they'll want to keep papering in perpetuity.

Never had wallpaper, lining paper painted suited me
Then I had William Morris good quality paper along the stairs wall because small grandchildren were causing muddy finger marks. I added a diffrrrnt pattern to the sitting room wall on the left of the door. Gorgeous pattern and the wall has remained pristine over three years and four dogs (plus children)
I don’t see it as a feature wall, more as a wall reducing work fir me as well as bring beautiful

Feature wall always has nice wallpaper....All the rest of the walls are white....Dislike dark walls....xx

I got rid of my feature wallpaper after I went to the toilets in a rather dated social club and saw the same paper on the walls! It made me think how dated my lounge was! So now all my walls are painted white and I have added bright colour with cushions, lamp shades, pictures and rugs.

I have a nice soft white all over the interior of my home auro paint 321 which is dead matt. It is lovely and I have plenty of colour with same as teacheranne. Upside is that I can easily touch up myself. I had the whole space professionally done, over 6 months and it cost a lot but was very worth it

Paint.
I like wallpaper too but in other peoples houses.

This house was around 4 years old when I bought it and luckily the previous owners had only painted it so I have continued to paint The kitchen and bathroom are fully tiled, walls and floor. The downstairs loo wall is partly tiled and the floor and hall floors are fully tiled.

I was not having the trauma of removing wallpaper from every room 3 houses ago and having to re-paper as the walls were crumbling so not fit for paint.

Or a mixture of both, which do you prefer, for me it’s paint all the way, used to have painted walls with one wall as feature in each room but now thinking paint all the way through.

we went with a wall mural and love the results

it was from here - www.wallsauce.com/wall-murals-wallpaper/forest-tree-wallpaper-murals/

Not bothered at all, if I have a papered wall then it has to be plain so I can paint it as I think a papered wall is warmer than a plastered wall painted. I do like one wall to have a patterned paper, or even a different colour.

I go with paint. All my walls have been recently plastered during the renovations so they’re lovely and flat. I can’t bear the idea of ruining the finish with wallpaper.

I like a mixture tbh.
Wallpaper adds texture and warmth to a room, if a tiny room then paint only.

Sounds good, there are some really nice Morris wallpapers.

Each room in my house has its own unique character. None are 100% wallpaper. Some have only paint... but it takes ages for me to settle on both colours and papers.
