Paper wallpapers create a cosy, warm feel. The paper quality is flexible and easy to work with, and it covers the surface well.
They are hung by pasting each strip instead of pasting the wall, and they are installed with overlapping seams. Read the instructions included with the wallpaper carefully; there you will also find product information about pattern matching and adhesive recommendations.
1. Paste the wallpaper
Apply the paste evenly across the entire strip in a generous layer. Start in the middle and work out towards the edges.
2. Fold together
Fold the wallpaper together 3/4 down from the top edge and the rest up from the bottom edge. Paste several strips at a time. Leave the strips to soak for at least 10 minutes before hanging them. It is best if they are thoroughly moistened.
3. Unfold
Unfold the upper part of the strip. Attach the upper half of the strip with a few centimetres of overlap onto the ceiling trim. Make sure the first strip hangs straight. Release the lower part of the strip and attach it. Brush the strip into place with a wallpaper brush. Smooth it from the middle out towards the edges.
4. Trim neatly
Press the wallpaper firmly into place along trims and skirting boards. Then trim neatly with a wallpaper knife. It is important that the knife is sharp, so change the blade often.
