To provide inexpensive low-density paper for wall paper having good wall papering, embossing finish property (volume feeling) equivalent to or higher than that of foamed and embossed vinyl chloride wall paper and high environmental safeguard.

This low-density paper for wall paper is obtained by laminating low-density paper, composed of a surface-protected film and pulp fiber layer, and backing paper. In the paper for wall paper, the pulp fiber layer consists mainly of curled fiber and thermal melting fiber, and the compounding ratio of curled fiber/thermal melting fiber to total fiber weight is 97/3-60/40 and the density is 0.08-0.4 g/cm3.
