/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1903029
don't even start
I got a bunch waiting for me and can't make myself to do it

>>1903029
What is this guy in the pic doing? Aren't you supposed to put the wallpapers from the top down?

>>1903056
He's cutting off the edges

>>1903036
It took me a whole week to do my living room because after putting on 2 pieces i just couldnt be arsed anymore for the day

I'd rather paint 18 hours a day than to do wallpaper for more than an hour desu

Wallpaper is not the problem, cutting the fucking edges and it ripping after you put all the time in makes me want to walk into a gass chamber.

>>1903029
LOL why are you not painting? Wallpaper is methhouse-tier

>>1903089
Sharper knife and decreased soak time, you'll never have a tear again sport

>>1903056

You play shitty games, you win shitty prizes.

>>1903029
You bring this suffering on yourself, use paint

Just paint the walls.

>just paint the walls
What if you want to paint another color? Not good for your walls to soak them in layers of paint
Use non woven wallpaper once and you dont need to worry about anything else

>>1903581
"layers of paint" you can't be this retarded, right?

Rate my shitty $15/roll brick wallpaper job fellas. It wrinkled up in the middle and I made the mistake of following the ceiling so it curves at the top

>>1903581
mate...

>>1903029
don't buy the "wallpaper is back in style" meme. it isn't and it is a huge pain in the ass to remove it and then prep the wall for paint.

I dunno, the stuff sucks, to put on, or take off. That's basically why nobody uses it anymore.

>>1903029
so that professional painters can later charge you through the nose to remove it

>>1903029
I don't know, OP.
Riddle me this, though:
Who the hell still uses wallpaper???

>>1904076
get blackout curtains that slide horizontally and cover up the wallpaper wrinkles with a plant or something, this could get a little based

>>1904439
Everyone with concrete walls.

>>1904447
I can do that. Any plant suggestions?

>>1904484
no

>>1903581
Wait, so you mean to tell me this is the reason why every retarded prick I have ever met use wallpapers instead of painting?

God almighty have mercy on them, how you didn't managed to not kill yourself yet is beyond me.

>>1903029
go ask the 1970s

Are you a giraffe?

After years of PSA vinyl dominating the wall mural market (wide format printing), some geniuses started making/marketing easily printable wallpaper material and a lot of clients now go for that and refuse vinyl graphics...often times it's some boomer CEO/manager demanding it because they don't believe in vinyl graphics. Then they get pissed off when they decide they don't like it or want to change the mural and it isn't easily and (relatively) cheaply removable like vinyl.

Kek it’s not as high up as it seems, but it does need to be lower. The tv was mounted way before I ever decided to take over the room and I was too lazy to lower it

How bad is it? I've got a shitload of walls with caked up wallpaper, and it's the older stuff.

>>1904697
It really depends on the wallpaper and glue used. I removed some pretty thin paper once time that came off fairly easy with a steamer and putty knife. Aside from filling a few gouges in the wall, it was pretty much ready to paint. On the other end of the spectrum, I pull down some thick, textured wallpaper and the steam was a lot less effective. Lots of manual scraping and I ended up having to skim coat and retexture the whole wall after the fact.

>>1903029
i dont use wallpaper just paint the wall direct. wallpaper is the most useless invention ever.

>>1904697
HOT WATER

SOAP

THATS IT

I don't put up Wallpaper anymore cause it's so awful. Just clay walls from here on out.

>>1904697
If by 'older stuff' you mean woodchip wallpaper I suggest hiring an industrial steamer. A few years ago I spent 70 hours on a house stripping that paper from pretty much every room. Even with the industrial steamer it was hard going.

>>1903581
What if I want different color of wallpaper? Not good for your walls to wrap them in layers of wallpaper.

>>1905271
But the sound in the room echoes if you have painted walls.

>>1904076
That looks comfy bro
