The Art of Preparation

Preparation is crucial for successful wallpaper application. Before you begin, ensure your walls are ready to receive their new covering:

Step 1: Prepare the Walls

  • Surface Check: Ensure walls are flat, smooth, and free from cracks or holes.
  • Primer Application: Apply a primer or wallpaper sealer to the walls. This step ensures better adhesion and a longer-lasting finish.

Once your walls are prepped, it’s time to get hands-on with the wallpaper.

Step 2: Cut the Wallpaper

  • Measure the height of your wall, adding 10 cm to allow for trimming.
    • Cut the rolls into manageable sections, ensuring precision for better alignment.

    Step 3: Soak the Wallpaper

  • Lukewarm Water: Submerge the wallpaper to relax its fibres and enhance adhesion.
  • Follow Instructions on the wrapper for the recommended soaking time.

Step 4: Apply the Adhesive

  • Traditional Method: Apply the adhesive to the back of the paper.
  • Paste-the-Wall Method: Alternatively, apply it directly to the wall for easier handling.

Step 5: Book the Wallpaper

  • Fold the Paper onto itself, with pasted sides touching.
  • Roll it like a newspaper and leave it to sit for 5–7 minutes, allowing the adhesive to activate.

Step 6: Hang the Wallpaper

  • Start at the Ceiling and work away from the light to avoid shadows.
  • Work Slowly down each sheet, smoothing out bubbles as you go.
  • Step 7: Order More Rolls

    Always order more rolls than you estimate needing to account for any errors or miscalculations.

    Understanding Wallpaper Types

    There’s a variety of wallpapers to choose from, and each type serves different purposes:

    Vinyl Wallpaper

    • Durability makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.
    • Vinyl-Coated is resistant to water damage, thanks to its acrylic or polyvinyl chloride coating.
