Wallpaper is a drag to put up, and to take down. Believe me... my sister bought a Victorian home full of old lady wallpaper that just had to come down. Being the naive younger sister, I agreed to help strip the wallpaper and repaint... what a mess!
The look of wallpaper is very classic and, sometimes, very appropriate for more formal rooms. When stripes are the pattern you're striving for, you're not locked into struggling with wallpaper. Stripes can be easily painted on walls by carefully applying paint tape vertically. Use a level to ensure the tape has been applied straight, and paint away!

* Bonus: paint is way cheaper than most wallpapers!
Love the stripes, especially black and white...its so easy to accent with different colours...only accessorize with colour so that the look of the room can be changed easily and as often as you like!
