Steps to install the peel and stick wallpapers.
Before we start, let us give you a few necessary pieces of advice too. You should not choose some odd wallpapers. For every room, there needs to be a theme. Otherwise, everything will feel very confusing because these wallpapers are available in different prints and shades. For instance, you can have the peelable floral print wallpaper for the bedroom and some geometric designs for the dining hall.
One needs to have an idea about the colour scheme and the theme of the room décor. It is not like that you cannot change the wallpapers, but it is better to be careful at the beginning.
Collect the tools.
You will need a few essential tools to make it happen. These are easily available from a nearby store. You will need a
- Small plastic spreader.
- A knife.
- Spirit level.
- A large spreader with a metal body and fine edges.
- A paintbrush.
Prepare the walls.
You cannot place the wallpapers on drywall. Therefore, you need to ensure that there is enough glue, paint, or any moisturizing material on the wall. It is crucial to make it easier to install the wallpaper accurately in place. Always use the best quality paint to prime the wall and ensure that the colour is similar to the wallpaper's shade.Mark the walls
It is also an important part because you might be mixing more than one type of wallpaper, and to know where you would install which wallpaper, you should have some marks and spots. Another reason to make the walls is to place the wallpapers at the same line; you must draw them with chalk or something that can be removed or hidden once the wallpapers are installed.You might need an inch tape for it or a scale too. Doing it without a measuring instrument will be a disaster.
Measure the wallpapers.
As every home is of a different size, we cannot have standard-sized peel and stick removable wallpapers. Get an inch tape, measure the length of the walls, then of the wallpapers accordingly, and mark it.Now you should trim the wallpapers from the marked point. It would be better not to trim it exactly at that point; you should keep a difference of at least 2 inches. It will help you if somehow the walls are not measured accurately.
Strat installing
Many people think that the first spot where they should place the wallpaper is the extreme corner; it is wrong; you should start from the centre or a little bit farther from the corner. The corner areas are not perfectly square, and the wallpapers we have would not fit perfectly. Therefore, you might need to cut some other wallpapers shapes for the corners, and it can be done later, once you are done with the centre wall.Paste the wallpapers in the same line.
To give your room a clean and tidy look, it is extremely important that the wallpapers are in alignment. You should keep a long scale with you to check if the wallpapers are perfectly aligned. A little difference will look very odd when you analyze the results.You should always paste the wallpapers in a top to bottom fashion. It will be easier; otherwise, your body will be touching the pasted wallpaper making it dirty and untidy.
