Installing wallpaper can transform your walls and enhance the overall aesthetic of your space. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of installing wallpaper on your wall. Follow these instructions to achieve a professional-looking result:

Before You Begin:

• Ensure that your wall is clean, smooth, and free of any dust or debris. Repair any imperfections, such as cracks or holes, and allow the wall surface to dry completely before starting the installation process.
• Gather all the necessary tools and materials, including wallpaper adhesive, a wallpaper brush or roller, a utility knife or scissors, a smoothing tool or squeegee, a measuring tape, a pencil, and a step ladder.

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Wallpaper:

• Measure the height of your wall from ceiling to baseboard, adding a few extra inches at the top and bottom for trimming. Cut the wallpaper into strips of the desired length, allowing for any pattern repeats.
• Mark each strip on the back of the wallpaper using a pencil, indicating the top and bottom.

Step 2: Prepare the Adhesive:

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to mix or prepare the wallpaper adhesive. Ensure that it has reached the recommended consistency for proper adhesion.

Step 3: Apply the Adhesive:

• Starting from one end of the wall, use a brush or roller to apply the wallpaper adhesive evenly to the section where the first strip of wallpaper will be placed. Be sure to cover the entire area where the strip will go.

Step 4: Hang the First Strip of Wallpaper:

• Take the first strip of wallpaper and align it with the top and side of the wall, leaving a small overlap at the ceiling and baseboard.
• Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a smoothing tool or squeegee, working from the center outward to remove any air bubbles or wrinkles.
• Use a utility knife or scissors to trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and baseboard, ensuring a clean and precise edge.

Step 5: Continue Hanging the Remaining Strips:

• Apply adhesive to the next section of the wall, adjacent to the first strip.
• Align the pattern and edges of the second strip with the previous one, overlapping slightly if necessary.
• Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall, ensuring a seamless transition between the strips.
• Repeat this process for each subsequent strip until the entire wall is covered.

Step 6: Trim and Finish:

• After all the strips are hung, use a utility knife or scissors to trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling, baseboard, and corners for a neat and professional finish.
• Gently run a smoothing tool or damp cloth along the edges to ensure they are securely adhered to the wall.

Step 7: Clean and Tidy Up:

• Clean any adhesive residue from the surface of the wallpaper using a damp cloth or sponge, being careful not to damage the wallpaper.
• Clean and store your tools properly for future use.
