Wallpaper - where to get?

[q9]

Not having much luck finding any decent suppliers of wallpaper. Have bought a house, and would like to put back as it was, rather than try and modernise it. That may depend on how hideously expensive it is or isn't, of course :)

So far only found one or two sites really with some samples, but they don't show much, and nothing in the style I want...

from my own research, the only place I have had much luck with for nice wallpaper that wasnt priced in the realms of artwork was porters paints www.porterspaints.com.au (http://www.porterspaints.com.au) . Let me know if you find any others though as I would love to know. The home magazines that target the more budget interiors ternd to feature porters paper a fair bit.

If you're in Sydney, Merilux Paint and Painter on parramatta rd Haberfield (their big store)

Thanks for that...no, not in Sydney...

It obviously isn't the done thing anymore...really hard to find anyone that has much of a range...

If you have plenty of coin to spend try signature prints: http://www.signatureprints.com.au/frameset_divinedecadence.html

They have over 50 styles detailed on their website alone so possibley more in store. I LOVE signature prints designs and fabrics but be prepared to cough up some big bucks ... Florence Broadhurst is pretty well regarded in the design world.

I think I stumbled across their site the other night. I think at those prices though, I'd have to win lotto to do the whole house :) (4 bedrooms + 2 hallways + lounge + dining = :o )

What may be a better option, is to paint the walls, and maybe just paper one or two rooms as a bit of a feature (like the lounge and dining area). I think if the house was a bit smaller and perhaps of a different style, it might be worth going the whole hog. I might be best doing a fairly nice paint job and doing natural wood skirtings and trim.
