home zone is proud to present some of the most stunning and innovative wallpaper designs from many of the top manufacturers. From exquisite metallic flock designs to sophisticated crushed weave textures, we have something to suit your style.

Wallpaper has come a long way in recent years and has become hugely popular in fashionable interiors. While many of us elect to paint our walls, there is always room for a feature wall of shimmering pearlescent paper or large bold flock chic. Most chimney breasts will only require two rolls of paper, so fabulous designer papers, as illustrated here, become an affordable alternative to plain paint and for most of us this is enough to make an individual statement.

We have many fantastic wallpaper books in store for you to browse through with stunning contemporary designs from HARLEQUIN, NONO, WILMAN and CROWSON as well as catering for more traditional tastes from such trusted sources as SANDERSON and WILLIAM MORRIS.

Make sure that your walls are well prepared before you begin papering. Highly polished/metallic papers tend to show up every defect so good preparation is the key. Fill any holes and sand the walls though- roughly.

Before you begin papering, apply a thin, watery layer of wallpaper paste to the surface. This is called sizing and will ensure that the initial process of papering is made easier and will also help to adhere the lining paper very securely to the prepared wall. Then leave to dry.

Double line the walls using a heavy gauge lining paper. Begin by lining the walls vertically, making sure that the first length is level. Allow a thin, hair width gap between each length.

Once this first layer has dried, finish with a second layer of lining paper, but this time go across the wall horizontally. Again allow a thin hair width gap between each length.

This process of double lining will ensure the very soundest of surfaces on which to hang your designer wall paper and will give the best results possible.
