Local Wallpaper/diy Shops

Me and the missus are getting the back bedroom sorted for our new arrival in April. :D

 

Had all the walls re-plastered and so on but i now need a decent shop buy wallpaper and what not.

 

Any good uns apart from the obvious ones that you lot know of around the Wigan/Leigh/Bolton area?

 

We are having a girl so it gotta be all that girly shite i reckon...

 

cheers in advance :good:

that place in Moses gate wasn't too bad last time i bought some wall paper

 

it was 8yrs ago mind you

HAPPY SHOP - FULL WANDERERS WALLPAPER , LAMPSHADES , BEDDING ETC . SORTED

mr spencer is right, oneils at moses gate is pretty good. kline and kline in wardley has some decent discounted gear. horses for courses really, you get what you pay for.

with being re-plastered i would just paint it and pick out just one wall to wallpaper looks much better as for wallpaper DULUX WESTON ST not on my acount ha ha :good:

The one on Moses Gate looks rather scutty from the outside. Do you want your little Angel to have her room decorated in paper from a scutty shop? No? Then get yourself to Horwich Carpets. He's a lovely mincer and is really helpful. They have loads of books and do reasonable (?18) up to disgustingly opulent (?150).

HTH!

Will she be able to read them so young?

JAL :pardon:

I would go for the paint the walls option as well, wallpaper looks dated . I painted my front room Magnolia a couple of weeks ago and it looks so light and fresh i am in the process of painting the rest of downstairs the same colour.

One always needs a feature wall! :nea:

Is it wise to wallpaper over a freshly replastered wall?

 

My sister bought a show flat where they'd done that and it minged of damp.

 

Maybe it was her.

that's why we have TVs. Breaks up the mundaness (think I've invented a word there) of magnolia!

I'm not sure what size your tv is, but mine doesn't take up a full wall. Infact, I do think that enormous tvs do often look quite tacky. Just my opinion like.

With an enormous TV, you need one of these:

It's not really that big: they just used Beadle to demo it!

It's borderline criminal

 

Wallpaper is generally used to cover old cracked plaster

 

If you've got lovely new plastered walls just paint it (well, don't just paint it any old way, there's important methods to follow or you'll ruin it)

Like the others said. Paint it.

 

Then, if you want something special, get an artist type person (or an art student if you want to save money) in to do you a muriel. Advantage of this is that it can be painted over when child is 5 and has more grown-up tastes.

 

As a kick-off, balloons & rainbows - things with bright primary colours should hold the babe's attention

2nd April mate!

 

just getting it all boxed off now like whilst i/we can :good:

Paint the walls (forget wallpaper) On bare plaster add about 25% water to first coat. If you want to paint a feture wall use low tack masking tape to make a nice sharp line in the corner. Or if you want to paint a design, use an overhead projector to cast your drawing, then draw round it with a pencil. Job done.
