How to wallpaper external corners

Start by applying an even layer of adhesive. If you have a patterned wallpaper, raise or lower the strip until the pattern is aligned at the correct height. Smooth the wallpaper with the wallpapering tool and trim neatly along the ceiling and skirting board.

Now simply press the strip around the corner using the wallpapering tool. Place the next strip a few millimetres from the corner so that it overlaps the wallpaper you just pressed around the corner.
