Hi,
I am wallpapering (patterned paper) just the chimney-breast in a large (soon to be) Victorian room. There is a picture rail about 10 feet up the wall then a further 2 foot above the picture rail to the ceiling. The rest of the walls in the room are to be painted one colour both above and below the rail.
The question I have is does anybody know wether I should paper the small section above the picture rail or leave that and paint it the same colour as the rest of the room? I know it could be considered a matter of taste but wondered if anybody knew what would have originally been done in such a room in Victorian times?
Many thanks,
David
