[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wallpaper wouldn’t deter me from buying a house I wanted. I would be cursing your name as I worked on removing it though. [/quote]

This.

My mom just paid $1K for wallpaper removal, wall repair near a laundry vent, and fresh repainting of a really small laundry room.  We couldn't DIY paint it because she's too old and I don't have vacation to spare on wallpaper removal.

Pick a fun color paint and be done with it.

I really don't like those squiggles and unless the rest of your house is quirky, they won't blend.

When I was a kid, our neighbor let her teen daughter paint her bedroom magenta and paint a black and white zebra on the biggest wall.  Many years later, I visited the new neighbors and you could still see the black parts of the zebra underneath 3 coats of white paint.  That was my formative experience as far as not inflicting your taste permanently on others.

Even though I don't believe one should keep one's house neutral and bland, I like easily reversible decorating when it comes to bold decisions.

Maybe try fabric or canvas art on stretchers?  Google Marimekko wall hangings.
