How To Install Wallpaper
Before You Begin
Check Your Wallpaper Panels:
-
Lay out the wallpaper panels in numerical order (e.g., Panel 1, Panel 2, etc.).
-
Inspect all panels for defects or damage. Contact us if there are any issues.
Prepare Your Wall:
-
Ensure the wall is clean, smooth, dry, and free of dust or grease.
-
Fill any holes or cracks and sand the surface if necessary.
-
Prime the wall with a wallpaper primer for best results.
Tools You'll Need
-
Wallpaper paste (included in your order or as specified)
-
A roller or brush for applying paste
-
A plumb line or leveler
-
Pencil and measuring tape
-
Wallpapering tool or brush
-
Sharp utility knife
-
Clean, damp sponge
Step 1: Prepare the Panels
-
Locate the cutting marks on the white sections above and below the wallpaper panels.
-
Cut along these marks to divide the wallpaper into individual panels.
Step 2: Apply Paste
-
Roll the paste directly onto the wall..
-
Ensure the paste is applied evenly to prevent bubbles in the wallpaper.
-
Tip: Make a pencil mark one wallpaper width from the left near the ceiling. Hold a plumb line on the mark and draw a vertical line down the wall. This line will help you align the first panel straight.
Step 3: Align the First Panel
-
Line up the left edge of the first panel with the vertical pencil line you just marked.
-
Ensure the panel is perfectly straight before pressing it onto the wall.
Step 4: Press the First Panel into Place
-
Smooth the panel using a wallpapering tool or brush, working from the middle out to the edges.
Step 5: Swipe Away Air Bubbles
-
If you notice any air bubbles, gently lift the panel and smooth it back down to remove the bubbles.
Step 6: Apply Paste for the Next Panel
-
Roll more paste onto the wall, covering the area for the next panel. Ensure the paste is evenly applied.
Step 7: Apply the 2nd Panel
-
Align the left edge of the second panel with the first, making sure the edges meet without overlapping.
Step 8: Swipe Away Air Bubbles & Ensure Seamless Connection
-
Smooth the second panel, working from the ceiling to the floor and from the middle out to the edges.
-
Ensure there are no gaps between the panels for a seamless look.
Step 9: Wipe with Wet Sponge
-
Use a clean, damp sponge to wipe away any excess paste from the surface of the wallpaper.
Step 10: Repeat Steps 2-9 for Remaining Panels
-
Continue applying paste, hanging, smoothing, and wiping down each panel until the wall is fully covered.
Step 11: Cut Away Excess Wallpaper
-
Use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess wallpaper along the ceiling, floor, and edges.
-
Always use a fresh blade to avoid tearing the paper.
Pro Tips for Success
-
Take your time aligning the first panel - it sets the foundation for the rest!
-
Ensure even paste application, especially along the edges of each panel.
-
If you encounter bubbles, gently lift the panel and smooth it back down.
