Wallpapering requires a little planningand preparation, but with the right steps you can easily achieve a perfect result - with our short and simple wallpapering guide:

• Preparation: Use painter's fleece or masking film and masking tape to protect the floor and furniture. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and smooth. Remove old wallpaper residue and prime the surface to ensure optimum adhesion.
• Measure and cut to size: Carefully measure the wall or ceiling surface and cut the wallpaper panels accordingly. Pay attention to pattern adjustments and leave a little overhang at the edges. Wallpaper scissors and cutter knives are suitable for this.
• Mix the paste: Prepare the paste according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that the paste has the right consistency to ensure good adhesion.
• Wallpapering: Apply the paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper sheet or wall, depending on the type of wallpaper, and position the sheet on the wall or ceiling. Press it down gently and smooth it out with a wallpaper brush or roller to remove any air bubbles.
• Adjust the pattern and cut the edges: Make sure that the pattern of the wallpaper panels merges seamlessly. Cut off the protruding edges cleanly with a sharp knife.
• Leaveto dry andpaint over: Allow the wallpaper to dry thoroughly before painting over it to achieve the best result. Choose a suitable colour and add the finishing touches to your room.
