Surely the skirting should be scribed to the floor instead of sat on top of it!!!

I know what you mean but it some instances it shouldn't. if the room runs out that bad from one side to the other you could have 5" skirts one side and toothpicks the other!

it's nothing i could do there. If did wall paper lower- you would see some books where wall meets the ceiling :incazzato:.

I know you were just using the laser to try and show it was out of level but you have to be careful with lasers when pointing them at an angle in to corners as they often lie! Wherever possible you should fire the laser at 90 degrees to the wall as if that wall is out it self and you fire it at an angle it won't give a true reading.

This was a little video I did a while ago to show it, hope it makes sense

imagine the bit of flooring is an out of level wall

yep= make sense CR. When i do wall paper i allways check where to start, where to finish how not to waste any paper etc etc.
I think i know what i'm doing, but i'm not expert like you. So it's good you are here, and i hope i could come to you for advice in the f:smilewinkgrin:uture

Without knowing the type of paper it was printed on, the method of printing and the type of ink used to print it's hard to say if you've done a good job or not. It certainly looks good enough even though in your last picture the right hand wallpaper is 10-15mm higher than the left wall
I had i look again, and you are right CR- it is about 10mm . Wall was about 35mm out , so i had to overlap and cut . We live and learn .

Bloody hell Tony, who lives there, Goldilocks and the three bears? :lol:


They clearly like wallpaper so good on them especially with their choices although i'm not a fan of the trees one. Interior designers went crazy for Cole & Son about 8 years ago and i'd put money on the woods being their best selling wallpaper now. It's not that it isn't a nice design, as it is but sadly it's been done the death now so it's all a bit 'common' which is saying something for a relatively expensive paper.

Looks like a nice house.
