Things you should know before hanging wallpapers by RAHMA L. ADAMU

allpapers cover imperfections on the wall, add unique textures and patterns and create a finished wall surface that is difficult to duplicate with paint. But you can make things easier before hanging your wallpapers. Before other things, make sure all your rolls of wallpaper are the same colour and shade. You can do this by testing them in daylight. You need to consider whether you want to put up lining paper first as it is good for hiding walls that are in a dodgy condition. Vinyl is great for areas with a lot of moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. For places that stay dry, such as bedrooms and hallways, it is best to use non-woven papers and fabrics. Order two to four more rolls of paper for waste and overages because mistakes might happen, whether you are a professional or not. Choose an appropriate pattern for the room. Patterned wallpapers can add a unique theme to any room. If you want to buy a wallpaper with a distinctive pattern, make sure you take care to match up the pattern and avoid clashing. You can also make the room seem larger by using patterned wallpapers. Use horizontal patterns to make the room seem wider. Use vertical patterns to make the ceiling seem higher. Leveling is just as critical as any step when hanging your paper. Always make sure your first sheet is perfectly level. If things aren’t flush when you get to a corner, get out the measuring tape. When installing your paper, air will most likely get trapped in between; but it is okay, don’t panic. This is typical, and it should go away as the wallpaper settles and the adhesive dries. If it doesn’t, just puncture the bubble with a small pin and gently flatten out the paper with the wallpaper sweep. Wallpapers are not only perfect for homes, they are good for other types of apartment.
