Tips To Make Your Wallpaper Task Easier (Part 1)

Funky wallpapers are the new in-thing at the moment. But getting the design on your wall can be a daunting task. Here are eight tips to help you on your way!

1) Make sure to order all the wallpaper you need at the same time. When it arrives double check the sizing and design.

2) If you’re wallpapering over dark paint/wallpaper, then paint a one-inch strip of white pain along the top of your wall. This will mean, it won’t be noticeable if your wallpaper fails to align exactly.

3) Make sure you have all your tools ready with you! Seam roller, brush/smoother, pushpins, tape-measure, scissors, wet sponge, knife. The list can go even longer.

4) Most houses don’t have perfect right angles. To avoid having wonky wallpaper, make a plumb line. This will help you measure the alignment of your wallpaper.
