I had stenciled instead of wall paper...I love the finished look

So many people hate wallpaper but I have an papered accent wall in my entryway that gets tons of compliments! Be sure to properly size the wall to be papered and life will be good. Sizing makes the paper easy to remove if you decide to change it sometime down in the future. It sounds as if this will be a DYI project so I would select an easily matched pattern. Instructions provided by the manufacturer for hanging the paper are usually straightforward and easy to follow.
