Crown Wallcoverings is quite possibly the worst wallpaper I have ever had the misfortune to hang as a professional decorator!! I’ve seen mixed reviews on the Decorators Forum UK.
It has a pretty design and nice restful colours, but om my god!!! This Crown Wallcoverings stuff epitomises everything that’s wrong with Laura Ashley.
If I hadn’t had my paperwizz, extra-long Axus blade, Olfa knife and 20 years’ experience, it would have been a disaster. And all the wife could do was point out a tiny tear in a top corner and a tiny pattern mismatch below the edge of the window by 2mm 😞🙄 Husband was appreciative though.
Either way, I’m feeling proud of myself for getting through the day and doing a good job for a mere human. 😁
I would advise everyone try to avoid Crown Wallcoverings where they can. It is awful.

What Other Decorators Think About Crown Wallcoverings
You’ve done a great job – I hung this one a few years back and, as you say, everything that was bad was bad. Good result 👍🏻
Nothing wrong with Laura Ashley paper it’s changed I’ve just papered 6-8 room sets in 6 different stores not a problem hanging 16 rolls a day.
Lovely work 👍
Looks the puppy’s plumb’s considering how shocking Crown Wallcoverings is👍 I’d give yourself a pat on the back for sticking it out!!!
Looks good to me… it’s just a nightmare to hang!
The Crown Wallcoverings Wallpapers are a bit hit and miss. Some of them go up without issue. Others seem to crease, rip and mark easily. The trick is, not to overwork them and use a good quality paste like Beeline. Better still, just avoid it the best you can. There are far better wallpapers on the market.
