Weekend job for a medium/large room

Cost:
From around £5 for 10 metres of wallpaper, plus £5 for enough wallpaper adhesive for 12 rolls of wallpaper

Skill level:
Medium

You'll need:
Pasting table, bucket, stepladder, paste, including plumb line, paste brush, edge roller, stripping knife, smoothing brush, edge trimming roller, wallpaper scissors, utility knife, tape measure and pencil, broom (to go between two chairs to hold pasted paper), sponge, bulldog clips, long batten or straight-edge.

  3. The hall of my 1970's house has (leading from the lounge) a glass panelled door with a panel (approx 12") above and also a glass panelled wall approx same width as door. What is the easiest way to update this keeping light flowing into the hall?
