How to touch up ripped wallpaper

lauzt1987

I have been painting my living room. I have one feature wall which has wallpaper that is a duck egg blue colour with a silver flower pattern. I have painted the other 3 walls cream.

When I was painting, I put masking tape over the edge of the wallpaper however, when I took this off, it ripped the paper. There are only a few small patches of ripped paper and I was wondering if it would be possible to maybe find a paint a similar colour and fill these in? I love the wallpaper and it is no longer available. I really don't want to have to repaper the whole wall with a different paper.

The ripped patches are in the corner of the room and I don't think it would be too noticeable if we patched them up but just wondering if anyone had any tips or advice. Thanks a lot.

Do you have any small pieces of the wallpaper left over? You might be able to take them into a DIY store for some custom colour match paint.

if you have a small sample of the paper , take it to your local builders merchant , diy store , if they have paint scanning available get them to scan the paper and they can then mix up a tester pot . if you have a crown decorator centre near you http://www.crowndecoratingcentre.co.uk/contactus/Pages/StoreDirectoryList.aspx
their mixing system will do it's own recipe , as far as i know , where as the dulux system will just match it to the nearest colour
