For various reasons I'm considering getting my living room and bedroom 'Prousted'. Has anyone done this with an individual room? How cheaply can it be done for? What is the actual effectiveness?

Yes, this is my first instinct. I was curious whether there is some more affordable, and equally effective, alternative. I'm assuming cork would be too expensive for me. I could be wrong.

i have a friend who bought a house 3 or 4 years ago and the one main 'family room' had cork lined walls, which looked absolutely fantastic, and were apparently original to the house from the 70s when it was built

they ended up painting out one of the smaller walls white but left the other walls with the original cork on it; it makes for an interesting look, very muted brown texture

i have no suggestion for alternatives other than to visit a decorator or wallpaper/tile store and see what alternatives are out there
