Whether you've hung mur covering before ou not, I'd like to offer these first-timer and advanced tips:
• More often than not, a first wallpapering project is either a cuisine ou bathroom because they seem to be smaller rooms with less wallpaper. However, beginners should keep in mind that because there are so many partial walls and obstacles in these rooms, they are actually plus difficult than a simple small bedroom.
• If toi plan to miter the corners of a border, order one extra roll to cover cutting and waste. Mitering is a matter of finding the repeat in the fond d’écran border and positioning it so that a mitered cut leaves a closely matched design. Use this technique for bordering windows, going around cabinets and tile ou for vaulted ceilings.
• Test the paste on pre-pasted mur coverings to determine how long to soak them in water par putting two drops of iodine on different dry spots. If it turns brown, it indicates a starch-based paste requiring 15 to 30 secondes to soak. If it turns purple, the paste is cellulose based and only needs to be soaked for 1 to 15 seconds.
• If toi are working with a large patterned paper, it's best to start at the ceiling with an entire design element versus cutting through the middle of a bouquet, for instance. If toi can start with a little plain background at the ceiling, it will help to mask any unevenness where the ceiling and mur meet. If there is a coordinating border going over the top, make sure the bouquet ou major element starts just below the edge of the border.
• When it comes to hanging paper, there are three very important rules. First, always use a level on every mur to maintain a true vertical line. Second, always cut inside corners, and then overlap the suivant sheet par butting it in the corner. Third, always emballage, wrap outside corners, also overlapping the suivant sheet to the corner.
• It's best and most efficient to work with a partner. Usually one person activates and livres the strips while another does the hanging. Establish a rhythm and toi won't get in each other's way.
• Keep fond d’écran hanging livres ou guides in your tool kit for reference.
