Instead, consider wallpapering a single wall to create a striking design feature. Choosing your design Wallpapers come in designs to suit all tastes - dramatic florals, vibrant colours or bold stripes, including wall coverings created by top designers - and they are a great way to make a style statement. To create a feature you might paper a whole wall, part of a wall, a chimney breast or a recess. Positioning the first length Ideally the first length should be positioned in the middle of the wall - but do check that this won't leave you with tiny strips at the side. Measure out wallpaper widths, usually 530mm, along the wall to be sure.

1 Find the centre of the wall by measuring the full width and dividing in half. Measure and mark the centre point with a pencil. 2 Check the width of a roll of wallpaper and make a pencil mark half this distance from the centre mark. Hang a plumb line at this second mark and use a pencil to mark the vertical at roughly 600mm intervals. 3 Join up the marks with a pencil and straightedge.
