=== Tip! ===

When painting the walls, wait at least three weeks so that your paint can cure properly and give you a professional-looking finish.

== How to Hang Wallpaper ==

=== Step 1: Measure All Your Walls & Draw A Central Plumb Line. ===

Measuring your walls and drawing a plumb line is the first step in successfully hanging wallpaper:

* Use a tape measure to determine the dimensions of your wall.
* Use a pencil to mark the halfway point on each wall.
* Use a level to draw a straight line along the length of each wall, making sure to intersect the marks at the halfway point.

Once your lines are in place, you're ready to begin hanging wallpaper. By measuring and marking your walls properly, you can be confident that your wallpaper will be evenly hung and look great.

=== Step 2: Figure How Many Strips Of Wallpaper You'll Need. ===

Before you begin, calculate how many strips of wallpaper you'll need to paper your wall. To do this, measure the height and width of the wall and multiply these numbers together.

Then, add 10% to allow for pattern matching and trimming. For example, if your wall is 12 feet wide by 8 feet high, you'll need 14 strips of wallpaper:

# 12 x 8 = 96
# 96 + 10% = 106
# 106 ÷ 2 (since each strip is double-wide) = 53
# 53 + 1 (for the bottom strip) = 54
# 54 ÷ 2 (since each strip is double-high) = 27
# 27 + 1 (for the top strip) = 28
# 28 x 2 (since each strip is double-wide) = 56
# 56 ÷ 2 (since each roll is double-wide) = 28
# Therefore, you'll need 28 rolls of wallpaper.

=== Step 3: Measure The First Strip Of Wallpaper. ===

Hang the first strip of wallpaper using a plumb line and level as a guide. To determine the amount of wallpaper you need, measure the wall height from the floor to the ceiling molding and add two inches for trimming.

Measure the width of the wall and add two inches for trimming. If you have windows or doors in the room, deduct their measurements from the total wall area, so you don't purchase too much wallpaper.

Also, take into account any pattern repeats in your [https://www.livingetc.com/whats-news/10-key-wallpaper-trends-for-2020-230466 wallpaper design]. Most wallpaper is sold in double rolls, so calculate accordingly.

Label each strip of paper with its specific measurement and placement location on the wall before cutting to avoid mistakes later on. Hang the first strip of wallpaper along the ceiling line, aligning one end at the corner and allowing the extra paper to extend past the other.

Use a utility knife to score (not cut) through both layers of paper where they meet at doorways or windows; this will make it easier to remove or reposition the strips later if necessary.

To avoid air bubbles under your paper, start in the middle of each strip and work toward the edges using a smoothing tool. Finally, trim any excess paper along baseboards or moldings with a sharp blade or scissors before hanging subsequent strips.

=== Step 4: Cut All Of The Whole Wallpaper Strips. ===

Hang your first strip of wallpaper at the top corner of the room. But before you start, cut off the excess paper at the top and bottom of the strip so it will fit perfectly.

Then, use a level to ensure it's straight before applying adhesive to the back. Once it's in place, smooth out any bubbles with a wallpaper brush.

Continue to hang all of your strips, making sure to overlap the seams by about an inch. When you get to the last strip, cut it to size, and then use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess around the room's edges.

=== Step 5: Prepare Your Wallpaper. ===

Before you hang your wallpaper, it is important to take the time to prepare the surface.

First, remove any existing wallpaper and clean the walls.

Next, repair any holes or cracks in the wall. Once the surface is smooth and clean, you are ready to hang your wallpaper.

Start by applying a layer of adhesive to the wall.

Then position the first strip of wallpaper and smooth it into place. Continue applying and smoothing strips of wallpaper until the entire surface is covered.

Finally, trim any excess paper from the edges of the wall. With a little preparation, you can hang a beautiful new wallpaper in your home.
