How to apply Wallpaper on walls?
As we have explained above, wallpapers are very easy to apply. You don’t need special skills or equipment to apply the wallpaper. All you have to do is follow the steps explained below to make it a success.
Prepare the walls
It’s important that the wall is thoroughly cleaned before starting this process. As wallpaper is a fabric product and it can be easily damaged, it’s important to apply a primer to the wall before applying the wallpaper. It acts as a shield for the brickwork and plaster of your walls. Applying a primer will be much easier than stripping away old paint and then repainting the surface.
Measure the walls
It is crucial that you measure out the required space for the wall paper before starting your project. You need to calculate the length and width of the area on which you are supposed to put the wallpaper. This is important because one wallpaper roll may not fit into every area you want to apply it on.
Mark where to apply the wallpaper
With a ruler and a pencil, mark out the areas where you want to apply the wallpaper. You can use a masking tape and stick it on the wall in order to create an outline of the area on which you will be applying the wallpaper.
Start applying your wallpaper from top to bottom
Once you have marked out the areas, it’s time to start applying your wallpaper. Place the roll of wallpaper along the lines that you have drawn and start applying them from top to bottom. First, apply a smooth paste type of glue along the walls and press the wallpaper in. The good thing is that with a peel and stick wallpaper, you don’t have to apply the glue or paste, you just have to remove the back covering and apply it directly on the walls.
Finish up
After you have applied the wallpaper on the wall, you will notice that there are a few loose sides or edges. You can trim them using a cutter. Use your hands to smooth all the sides that are sticking out and cut away any excess material according to your requirement.
Conclusion
Wallpaper is a great way to decorate your home, and it doesn’t have to be a difficult process. It’s important to prepare your walls and then decide on the type of wallpaper you want to apply on your walls.
Peel and sticker murals are the easiest way to do it because they’re easy to apply and can be removed with ease. They are versatile and they can work with all types of rooms from nursery to the Kitchen. They are also eco-friendly and inexpensive. Compared to paint where you have to part way with up to 200$ for a single room, peel and stick wallpaper are very cheap.
