Where can I buy old-fashioned embossed wallpaper?

harryharp

We're after some embossed wallpaper (plain, not coloured)- the old-fashioned type (can't remember what it's called), not the modern kind made of vinyl. I just think the old-fashioned type looks much nicer, not quite so 'naff'!

Anyone know where you can buy it? Have looked in the main DIY stores but they only seem to sell the modern type.

I had a look in our big B&Q superstore, also Homebase and Wickes, but couldn't see it?

Off to google the other one you mention...

I think what you're looking for is called 'anaglypta', have a quick google on it.

I've seen this in the B & Q superstores - not on display as such, but in the wallpaper books they have in the wallpaper section - maybe have to order it?

Thanks.

Yep- just come back from B&Q and they do indeed have books to look through with a small selection of anaglypta embossed paper. So thanks for that!

Anaglypta or blown vinyl. Have you tried Wickes as i'm pretty sure i've seen it there.
