And with sofas and comfortable chairs taking a back seat in decorator's eyes, accessories and interesting rugs and wallcoverings are gain- ing favor. . In fact, people who previously had only the bathroom and kitch- en walls papered are choosing prints and stripes for the dining room, bedrooms and living room. Newest on the wall paper scene are handsome phonies that simu- late marble, stone, leather, wood and fabric, but are far easier to care for than their real counter- parts. Many of these wallpapers come with pre-pasted backing - a boon for do-it-yourselfers. Other types are stripable for those who redecorate often. Polyvinyl chloride is the most scrubbable of the vinyls, while * plastic coating over ordinary wall- paper is the most fragile. Since all vinyls can be wiped with soap or detergent and water, a home- owner should consider where the covering will be used to deter- mine the degree of durability needed, If the particular pattern you like is not washable, look into wallpaper protective coatings. These are applied with a roller after the wallpaper is installed and make the wallpaper com- pletely washable. Check the ef- fect on a small sample of paper first, because these coatings will occasionally darken a paper slightly.
