Big Positive Change with Wallcovering
New wallcovering is like a new outfit. Recently my daughter-in-law was remarking to my son about his grandmother's multiple outfit changes during a day. You notice it when someone changes clothes! Wallcovering does the same for a room or house. People notice when the inner "clothing" - wallcovering - of a room changes.
Such A Dramatic Effect
I've seen the dramatic effect myself. Maybe you have too. In the corner of a basement, I created a room, covering the cement block walls with paneling...BIG difference. Our bathroom we had painted in a rich blue - I forget the color name...it may have been blueberry pie or something like that - that is very similar to the sky in The Church at Auvers by Van Gogh. Wow! I helped my sister wallpaper her room. What a difference! It wasn't my favorite activity, though! 
When you think of covering your wall, you're thinking about big change. It can be wallpaper - often called wallcovering - or other options such as paint or paneling.

Where to Buy
For wallpaper, the first place to look is American Blinds and Wallpaper & More. 
If you've got any questions or want advice, they have decorators you can call or email. They've also got one of the more helpful search features like looking for wallpaper by color.
Want a professional to hang the wallpaper that you purchase? If you're like me, you like the result better than the effort! Search by zip code at the National Guild of Professional Paperhangers website for a professional near you..
Star Decorating has been offering wallpaper and other decorating items by mail order since 1985. They are a subsidiary of Haggar Industries established in 1932. They offer over 200,000 wallpaper patterns. Yikes! I wouldn't want to look through that many.
Making Sure You Like the Color
Computer monitors have gotten better, but one thing you might consider if you're picking out wallpaper is look at a sample of it in person at a local store...and bring it home if possible. You will see the true color that way. You can then price shop online. The local merchant might even give you your choice at the online price.

I love options, and you may too, but sometimes too many can get a bit out of hand. Maybe you narrowed your wallcovering choices to a reasonable number. Want help making the final choice? Try Choose It.
