Hot New Trend--Easy On and Easy Off Wallpaper
In the past the perception of wallpaper is that it is difficult to install and even more difficult to remove later on. And did you know that up to 90% of people do their own wallpaper installation and removal. Now, wit the new products, wallpapering a whole room can be an afternoon project and removing it can take as little as thirty minutes.
Wallpaper is enjoying a upward spike right now. Many people have discovered that faux finishing can be very time consuming and is costly to have done professionally. The interest in 60's interiors and pop art, op art designs is another reason wallpaper is becoming more prevalent in contemporary and modern settings.
Products like Chesapeake's Easy-Walls Collection eliminate most of the negatives associated with the idea of wallpaper. Easy-Walls requires no prep except cleaning the walls--no primer necessary. This product is designed to adhere to walls that have two coats of paint on them. This product is also designed to not require the usual soak time after it is wet and before it is applied to the walls. The adhesive on Easy-Walls also allows for lots of slip without tearing when wet to assist in aligning the pattern correctly. You can even remove a strip and re-place it during the hanging process so mistakes are easily corrected.
Should you decide to remove it, just start in a corner and the entire strip will lift off the wall without tearing. A product like Easy-Walls is perfect for situations like decorating a baby nursery or child's room where you know that later on a different look will be wanted. It is currently available from most major wallpaper retailers. The cost is about one to two dollars higher than regular consumer wallpaper but worth it in the long run.
