Wallpaper offers various benefits for transforming and protecting your living space. It can brighten a room, change its mood, and make small spaces feel larger and cozier. In high-traffic areas like hallways or children’s rooms, wallpaper adds a protective layer, preventing scuffs and minor damage. Its wide variety of colors, designs, and textures allows you to personalize your space, and unlike paint, wallpaper lasts longer—up to 15 years. It's also easy to update when you want a change, and can be used creatively, even on bookshelves or cabinet backs.
Here are the crucial steps for a successful wallpaper installation project
1.Preparation
Clear the room of furniture and cover the floor. Make sure the walls are smooth, clean, and free of old wallpaper or imperfections. Sand down rough spots and apply a primer for better adhesion.
2.Measuring
Measure the height and width of your walls to calculate how many wallpaper rolls you’ll need. Be sure to add extra for pattern matching and mistakes.
3.Cutting the Wallpaper
Cut the wallpaper strips to fit the height of the walls, leaving a few extra inches at the top and bottom to trim later. If the wallpaper has a pattern, align it carefully across strips.
4.Applying Adhesive
Depending on the wallpaper type, either apply wallpaper paste to the back of the strips or soak pre-pasted wallpaper in water as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
5.Hanging
Start in a corner or at a focal point of the room. Hang the first strip, ensuring it’s perfectly vertical by using a plumb line or level. Smooth out the paper with a brush or wallpaper smoother to remove air bubbles.
6.Matching Patterns
When hanging the next strip, ensure that the patterns align perfectly. Slight overlaps can be trimmed later for a seamless look.
7.Trimming
After hanging the strips, trim excess wallpaper along the ceiling, baseboards, and around outlets or switches with a sharp utility knife.
8.Final Smoothing
Use a wallpaper smoother to press down the wallpaper firmly, especially around edges and seams, ensuring no air pockets or bubbles remain.
9.Cleaning
Wipe down the wallpaper with a damp sponge to remove excess adhesive, taking care not to damage the surface.
10.Drying
Allow the wallpaper to dry completely before moving furniture back or making any touch-ups.
