Therefore in order to sell MORE wallcovering to their biggest market the manufacturer must convince you (the homeowner) that hanging their wallcovering is: Always simple Can be always be done successfully by you (the novice) in any area of the home The notion that wallcovering installation is always simple is further pushed on all those DIY shows and home fashion magazines. Unfortunately this is great advertising HYPE.... it isn't the entire truth... What is true is this: Wallcoverings are a fashion product.
