About this deal

Prepare your wallpaper as per its instructions (soak or paste the paper or apply paste directly to the ceiling). Can I design desktop wallpapers? Yes, you can! You do not need to be a graphic designer for you to do this. All you need to do is to know how to save images as wallpapers, and there you go! You will have a wallpaper that suits your needs and preferences.

Use your folding rule or measuring tape to measure the height of the wall at various points. The longest/highest part of the wall is the initial dimension for cutting the wallpaper. To be on the safe side, add 5 cm to the top and bottom end so you can deal with potential differences in the height of the wall if necessary. How to hang wallpaper on a feature wallIf you’re utilising a bold colour or printed wallpaper for a feature wall, remember all eyes will be on it the second someone steps into a room. You will need to pay extra attention to detail, particularly with corners and elements like fireplaces. So, when it comes to measurements, these will need to be correct to the millimetre – with any excess neatly trimmed away with your knife.You want to start in a corner that doesn’t have any obstacles, such as a window frame, door frame or light switches, in the way, if possible. Concertina your paper and when it is ready, prop the end of the wallpaper up with a broom handle or something similar. When it comes to corners don’t be tempted to use one strip of wallpaper, instead use two lengths for the neatest finish.

If a room has a wide wall projection, e.g. if there is a mantelpiece, this will be the first place the eye is drawn to, so you should start there; again, the pattern alignment should start in the middle. Both of these wallpapering tools are used to cut paper-based, pre-pasted strips of wallpaper lengthwise. This could be necessary if, for instance, there isn't room for the entire width of a wallpaper strip on the wall. Decorating tools are essential for fixing up and improving your home, whether you’re repainting, repairing or sealing. Our range of painting supplies makes repainting any part of your home a breeze, from paint trays and dust sheets to a wide variety of brushes and rollers to suit the size of the job. There are also paint thinners and paint stripper to help maintain your brushes, ensuring they lead to a quality finish every time. How to hang patterned wallpaperTake things slow and pay particular attention to detail if you’re working with patterned paper, as you need to ensure that the pattern perfectly aligns. To make this a little easier, place the second piece up to the first and make any length adjustments you need to match the patterns up before pasting it down. Step 4: Trim excess wallpaperIf there is any excess, use your knife to trim along the edge and remove it, but ensure the remaining wallpaper edge adheres to the wall.If you have decided on wallpapering your ceiling as well, it’s best to start here before going on to the walls so you can achieve a more professional finish. At this point it makes sense to emphasise two issues that are important for the optical effect of patterned wallpapers. These tips are based on years of experience in dealing with accurate wallpapering and we would like to share them with you. When you soak wallpaper to prepare it for stripping, score the surface first with a rotary scorer as it helps the water to penetrate. Then just use a scraper to lift the paper off the wall. Paper-hanging brush If you try to wrap the whole drop around a corner, you will typically find that its difficult to get rid of wrinkles, spoiling a neat-looking finish. And its unlikely that the other edge of the wallpaper will be straight, which it needs so you can continue wallpapering. What corner do you start wallpapering first?
