wallpaper problem

[cris r]

Has anyone come across ths problem. I have just had my two of my ceiling wallpapered with a fine pattened embossed paper. When the decorater arrived this morning he said I think we have a problem the paper looked like a zebra crossing. Two or three strips are fine and then you get a daker strip. Fortunatley he kept all the wrappers from the rolls and all the numbers are from the same batch, it is really strange. He carred on and painted the ceiling hopeing the problem would rectify itself with the paint but it still looks darker on some of the strips. Dont know if anyone has come across this problem other wise I can see it all coming down. I could understand there being a problem with one odd roll but it is the same in the other room although he has not painted that room yet as he is waiting to see the out come on the painted ceiling gratefull for any ideas.

do the alternate stripes have the paper running in opposite directions? the light may pick up one way, but not the other.

I had the same with just one strip of mine, and to this day when I look up I realise it is as sara3 has said, but I have learnt to live with it, cus I`m too old now to change it.

No apparently the decorator cut them and hung them all in the same direction he is baffled. Got up this morning and it has not dried any different, I thought it may me a light issue but you can see the the difference even when the lights are not on, dont know what they are going to do. Whach ths space :)(

Hi, I had the same problem with a Super Fresco paper bought from a well known DIY outlet. They refunded my money & changed it without any problems.
