One roll wallpaper for easy hanging

Tuesday, 22 May 2012 11:15 AM

Wallpaper is a great way to update a tired looking wall but many people shy away from installing it themselves because they think it is difficult.
While hanging wallpaper is actually very simple, one company has taken steps to make it even easier.
ArtHouse has produced a roll of wallpaper that is three times the length of a normal roll.
This means you only need to buy one roll when you visit the store and the installation requires less time matching patterns on the sheet to cover the full extent of the wall.

Not only does it look fabulous on the wall, but those little roll ends leftover at the end of the job can be used to create other craft within the home.
For example some people will use the wallpaper to create a canvas for a different room, or cover a lamp shade.
Another popular option is to wallpaper room dividers or screens used for modest dressing spaces.

The extra-long wallpaper comes in many different patterns and colours other than the one pictured.
There are textured options, metallic beading, plain and even glitter.
For a full list of wallpapers available in the extra-long roll visit the ArtHouse website.
We also have a DIY guide showing you how to hang wallpaper at home, to see the guide follow this link.
