 HOW TO INSTALL WALLPAPERS  by Domax  Interior Services.



 Prepare and measure walls
Get your walls ready for papering. Ensure that they are clean and dust-free; remove any dusts  or  removable wall hangings.

Measure the width and height of each wall;




Line up your pattern
Make sure your pattern will match up at the bottom. Lay two rolls side-by-side and line up the patterns. Mark where you want the bottom of the pattern to lie, and measure 3-4 inches below that point to give yourself wiggle room. Use a straight edge to draw a line across the width of the paper, trim across this line, and repeat with each roll of wallpaper you have.






 Measure and cut paper
Starting at the bottom, roll out your paper and measure the height of the wall. Use a straight edge to cut the paper, and label the top and bottom. Repeat with all your paper until you have enough to cover your walls.



 Prepare your paper
Apple wallpaper paste all over the back surface of each strip with a paint roller.
TIP! Try to buy prepasted wallpaper if possible; it cuts down on messiness and ensures that you won't ruin a strip by getting paste on it.




6. Hang it
Starting at the ceiling, unfold the top half of a strip and line it up to the center plumb line. Smooth the strip against the wall with a putty knife. Repeat with the bottom half; there should be 3 to 4 extra inches of wallpaper at the end.



 Trim excess
Hold a putty knife against the bottom of the wall to make sure the paper is flush to the surface, and use a utility knife to cut away excess paper.



 Smooth it out
Use a clean, damp sponge to sweep over the paper and remove any extra adhesive or air bubbles that may have popped up. Work from the ceilling down and the center outward.



 Repeat
Unfold your next strip and be careful when lining up the patterns. Let the papers touch, not overlap—you shouldn't see any break in the pattern. Repeat until your whole wall is covered.




How to Wallpaper Around Corners

1. Measure the distance from the edge of your last strip to the corner. Add 1/2 inch. Cut your next strip vertically to fit this measurement.
2. Paste and hang this strip, ensuring that the excess paper turns the corner; smooth over the paper, and trim where necessary.
3. Hang the next strip so that it overlaps the last piece but still aligns with the pattern. This ensures that the paper will be protected from peeling if someone brushes against the corner.
