We're currently updating the house we just bought (which, other than the occasional layer of paint over wallpaper, hasn't been touched since the early 1980s). Our attempt to strip the wallpaper in the hall so that we could repaint hasn't gone well, and we now think that wallpaper is a better option. The walls aren't 100% smooth, and while we may decide to get them replastered at a later date, it really isn't in the budget yet. So we'd need something that is kind to the imperfections on the walls, and isn't too overpowering (as it has to do hall, stairs, landing, more stairs, top landing). Hall flooring is laminate, carpet on the rest will be replaced at some stage but is currently a ratty, threadbare brown.

Sinead, I'm not too sure what colour you're going for on main walls...? will your selves be white? black/charcoal would have impact here so keep all walls same colour! What storage do you have in the room? You could have bench/box seat in same colour as shelves and fabric on top in complimentary colour (e.g., same as cushions!) on RHS with picture over it!! In my house they were traditionally called "toy boxes"!

We have a large glass panelled window in our sitting-room that I would love to wallpaper. What would I use to stick the wallpaper as I don’t think paste would be suitable?

I’m looking for mustard wallpaper. Possibly textured. Does anybody know where this can be sourced? There are plenty of yellows but I’m looking for a richer colour to add colour to a utility room and downstairs w.c.
