I need to refresh a single wall,
I'm feeling kinda adventurous,
does any of you ever put up some wallpaper,
is it easy to do or should I just paint over it ?btw I'm asking this because I've got a good offer on this brand

After completely stripping my house that had literally dozens of layers of wallpaper hung on top of each other, some stuck on with what I can only assume was superglue, I say: Don't ever use fucking wallpaper.
If you're not going to be the one who has to strip it in the future, then who cares? Do what you like.

yeah, don't. it's a pain the put up and even more of a pain to take down.
stencil something of your own?

...some questions before:
How much area are you talking about?
how is the meeting of the wall with the roof?
how is the baseboards?
from where comes the daylight?
would you like to have texture in the wall?
It's a corner?
It's between two pillars?
Has that wall plugs / radiator / air conditioning?- http://i2.kym-cdn.co…GeorgesII
- Much of that has to do with how it will be seen and from where. Meetings between the different parts are important.Miesfan

I will try to post a pic tonight if the sun is still up when I get home,
I just want to do a wall, but if it's difficult to take out,
fuck it,
I wanted something easy to setup and clean and the last time I've seen wallpaper in use was in the 80/90's period- Yes ... but don't worry. I thought the same until a client I "forced"to put one and freaked with the result.Miesfan

Contemporary wallpaper is very cool, imo. Better than slapping on some gray paint with white trim, which is what everyone seems to be doing these days.
Do it! If you really can't stand it after you've put it up, then just pay a day-laborer like $75 to take it down and paint.
