Traditional Wallpapers Installation

Apply the paste to your strip in the back of each strip by rolling it onto the middle of the sheet and then working it to the edges. All of the paper should be pasted evenly along the entire length and width of the strip.

Book the strip by folding the top and bottom edges into the middle (pasted side to pasted side), making sure the side edges line up properly.

Roll up the folded wallpaper and don’t curl out and dry prematurely. It should remain like this for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the paste to absorb and the paper to expand and relax back to it’s new normal. This method will keep the adhesive wet and help handle the panels to ensure an easy installation.

Apply the wallpaper to the top of the wall, allowing a bit of excess to overlap the ceiling (this will be trimmed off later). Align the right side of the strip to the guiding line you previously drew.

Use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to gently work the paper onto the wall, working from the tip and middle, down, and out. Smooth the surface, working to take out air bubbles as you go.

Select your next strip and apply it, so it’s left side is butted to the right edge of the previous panel matching the repeat. Smooth the second panel into the wall as you did with the first panel. Repeat the process and then smooths out any air bubbles. Try to avoid getting paste on the surface of the wallpaper. Immediately remove excess adhesive from the wallpaper surface seam using a natural sponge, and a soft bristle brush; frequently rinse it in warm water and dry it with a cotton towel.

Trim excess material at the ceiling and baseboard with a straightedge and a sharp craft knife. Change the blade often to ensure a smooth cut.

We added an extra 0,8” to your wallpaper panels for you to install one over the other. You must place the next panel 0,8” over the previous one. For textured walls, overlap helps maintain the dimensional stability of the whole installation.
