Home decorating trends are always changing, and wallpaper is one item that regular comes in and out of fashion.
But there are some people who recoil at the idea of hanging wallpaper. Common concerns include that it can quickly become dated, can be difficult to hang, and can be even harder to remove.
I can identify with the latter point after spending a lot of time trying to remove wallpaper and glue residue when we first moved into our 50s house. However, I have been very impressed at how easy modern wallpaper glue is to use and remove.
Would you consider hanging wallpaper in your house?

I would consider it in the right room, and probably limit it to a feature wall.
I've used a steamer to remove old wallpaper before. It was not fun. Water everywhere and lots of minor burns to the hands and arms!
Many thanks for sharing @Marg19.
Hope the video below is helpful for anyone considering hanging wallpaper in future.

Well done @Marg19. I would love to see a photo of it.
Thanks. Will try and send a photo, but not tech savvy.
