How To Hang

So, you've got your hands on some fabulous wallpaper from Wallpaperlux and now you're ready to transform your space into a work of art. But wait, how do you actually hang wallpaper? Don't worry, we've got you covered with this handy step-by-step guide. Let's dive in!

Step 1: Prepare Your Wall

Before you start, make sure your wall is clean, smooth, and dry. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint. Smooth out any imperfections with sandpaper and fill in any holes or cracks with spackle. Trust us, you want a nice, smooth canvas for your wallpaper masterpiece.

Step 2: Measure Twice, Cut Once

Measure the height of your wall and add a few extra inches at the top and bottom for trimming. Unroll your wallpaper and measure out the length you need. Cut it with a sharp pair of scissors or a utility knife. Remember, measure twice, cut once. We don't want any wallpaper mishaps here!

Step 3: Paste and Fold

Apply wallpaper paste to the back of your wallpaper using a paint roller or a brush. Make sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Then, fold the wallpaper in on itself, paste to paste, and let it sit for a few minutes. This allows the paste to activate and prevents the wallpaper from drying out too quickly.

Step 4: Start Hanging

Starting from the top corner of your wall, unfold the top portion of the wallpaper and press it against the wall. Smooth it out with a wallpaper brush or a clean, damp sponge. Work your way down, unfolding and smoothing out the rest of the wallpaper as you go. Take your time and make sure it's nice and straight.

Step 5: Trim and Repeat

Once you've hung the first strip of wallpaper, use a sharp utility knife or scissors to trim off any excess at the top and bottom. Then, repeat the process with the next strip, making sure to match up the pattern and overlap the edges slightly. Keep going until your wall is covered in beautiful wallpaper.

Step 6: Admire Your Work

Stand back and admire your wallpaper hanging skills. You've turned a plain wall into a stunning focal point. Take a moment to appreciate your hard work and the transformative power of wallpaper. You did it!

Now that you know how to hang wallpaper like a pro, it's time to get started on your own wallpaper project. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with different patterns and textures. Happy wallpaper hanging!
