Wallpaper installation tips

During wallpaper installation, ensure accuracy by measuring each wall precisely for the right amount needed.

Before application, prime the wall for an even surface, using an oil-based primer for easier removal later.

Align patterned strips meticulously before hanging and, if needed, apply adhesive evenly for non-pre-pasted wallpapers. Activate the glue by folding the paste side and letting it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Start hanging from the top, smoothing each strip from the middle to the sides using a smoothing tool. Repeat the process with subsequent strips for a flawlessly adorned wall.

FAQs

 

Wallpapers vs paint: Which is better?

Wallpaper provides diverse design, pattern, fabrics, brand, and texture choices, offering a unique aesthetic while covering wall imperfections and providing durability compared to paint. In contrast, wall paint offers flexibility in color choices, easier application, and changeability. Paint is often a more cost-effective solution. The choice hinges on style preference, price, room furniture, and the specific needs of your space.
