Wallpaper is expensive enough without having to hire someone to hang it. Doing it yourself is an easy and inexpensive process. Here's how to proceed. Materials:
Paint scraper
Dry cloth
Wallpaper
Pasting table (minimum size 6' x 3')
Water and water tray
Plumb line
Soft-bristled brush
Seam roller
Razor-blade trimming knife
- Scrape off any elevated spots on the wall (figure A). Use a cloth to wipe off any debris.
- Dip the paper into the water tray (figure B).
- Hang the paper in place (figure C), using a plumb line to ensure that it's straight.
- Use a soft brush to eliminate any air bubbles under the paper and to make sure the paper is tight in corners (figure D).
- Use a small seam roller to press out the seams between sheets of wallpaper (figure E).
- Cut away any excess wallpaper with a razor knife, using the paint scraper as a fence to guide your cutting (figure F).
