The Lincrusta site is probably your first source of ideas. Just google "Lincrusta" and it will take you straight there.
The photographs in the pattern books at your local wallpaper supplier are good, too.

Lincrusta up the stairs is mentally tricky - just remember

Measure twice cut once

It's nearly £80 a roll

You just have to cut top and bottom on an angle, it's not that difficult. If you are matching a pattern just make sure its the right way up some patterns are hard to tell.

I have a set of instructions here - I could fax or scan / e-mail them to you?

And think of it as more like hanging lino than wallpaper. You cut it before hanging - none of that easy folding back, scoring and then cutting.

And -
Follow the instructions about soaking to the letter

Just a quickie - roger oates have a website with sale items - the problem is I've forgot the name of it. I'll try and dig it out in the next day or two - otherwise it's a trawl of the internet. Also Laura Ashley do runners - not in the same league though!!
