Where sells Paste the Wall wallpaper?

Options
Hi,

B&Q and Homebase don't have a very diverse selection of Paste the Wall wallpaper which we prefer, does anyone know any other shops which sell this please?

    Go to somewhere like a Brewer Decorators Centre. They'll have a huge variety of all types of paper and the staff will guide you to paste the wall ones.

    It'll be ordered for you from sample books.

    B&Q has as big a range as anyone.


    The reason they are not widely available is because of the special backing paper that doesn't soak in when wet. Not every one does it and those that do have limited ranges.


    The best way for you is to use google to identify the brands that do it then find local stockists on their website.

    TBH, They are a very poor product. If professionals don't use them or specify them, then they should be questioned.


    A paste the paper product allows soaking time into the paper which in terms allows stretchibility of paper and for it to move around the walls much more easily.

    I paste the wall and the paper as the paste on the paper does soak in. It feels 'right'. I also find it easier to manouvre the paper on the wall if the wall is pasted too. I only DIY my own so it takes me ages anyway. :o

    We got ours from John Lewis. Found it really easy to work with and got great results.

    Out of interest, why do you consider them a very poor product?
