This is a south facing room, gets hot sun from may to september(UK ) but very cold and hardly used winter months. i've seen beautiful paper, colour and big bold flower which would i think look lovely. Advice please.
Would it be the done thing to paper a sunroom rather than paint?
i have that problem with mine.my son is going to put wood on the bottom tong and groove i think its called will paint it white then put this gorges lime paper i have seen on top part and i got a lime green door curtain with beads to match up. hope it will work as you say it gets cold and to much wallpaper doesn't work.you can only try.
Reply:In my experience...paint will hold up to the weather conditions you are describing much better than wallpaper. The paper will fade much more quickly than paint and will also start to lift and peel from being exposed to the dramatic weather differences.
There are paints, on the other hand, that are designed to be weather and fade resistant.
Here's an idea...why not paint and then do some fun stenciling for added color and dimension. I know it's not wallpaper, but I think you'll save yourself a LOT of maintenance in the future.
Good Luck!

Reply:The problem with paper is the effort to change if you don't like the look or want a different paper. With paint, making a change is so much easier. This is specially true if you have a lot of light exposure which can fade paper or paint.
Reply:Yes you can do it....And to stop the fading simply situate the furnishings in positions where they can block some of the stronger sunlight....
Reply:if you really want the wallpaper in your sunroom, make up some large frames with wood or cover old canvas's and put the wallpaper over these and use them to make a feature on the wall, then if it fades/or you get bored with it its easy to change! :)
Reply:I used this paper in my sunroom:
