If the thought of hanging wallpaper worries you, fear not because there are many different ways in which you can now confidently achieve a professional look with the right help and advice without all the fuss and headaches from repeatedly trying to apply wallpaper incorrectly.

The first thing to do is to measure your room or wall in which you wish to start. A rough estimation is only required at the initial stage, taking in account that the average roll of paper will give you 3 to 4 lengths of paper and less if depending on how uniformed the pattern is.

Don’t be afraid of wallpaper paste, it is better to use more than less and specifically it is important to treat any bare walls with diluted wall paper paste called size. It allows for better adhesion when applying the wallpaper. Once the size has dried, measure the length of wallpaper leaving a about 3 to 5cm excess at either end so you can trim it once applied.

A big tip is to start and finish above the door to the room as this will hide any irregularities in the pattern, leaving a professional finish. Use a plumb line when hanging your first piece of wallpaper to ensure a straight and level continuation of wallpaper, to give the best results.
