This is a foam-feel, thicker paintable wall paper that has such a dramatic effect, yet without the fuss or major expense of retexturing walls. Everyone that comes over wants to touch my wall. I used it for an accent wall in my bathroom. Tip 1: DO NOT overlap the edges. The trick is to spend the time getting the edges to line up side by side. Overlap and you can see the lines, side-to-side and it looks seamless. Tip 2: Use a primer-in-one thicker paint if you plan on painting the paper. You almost have to dry-roll the paint to keep it from being to gloppy ( - might not be a technical word, but you get the point) and gloppy messes up the pattern. I suggest painting a tester square before painting the wall.
