Whether you've hung tường covering before hoặc not, I'd like to offer these first-timer and advanced tips:
• More often than not, a first wallpapering project is either a phòng bếp, nhà bếp hoặc bathroom because they seem to be smaller rooms with less wallpaper. However, beginners should keep in mind that because there are so many partial walls and obstacles in these rooms, they are actually thêm difficult than a simple small bedroom.
• If bạn plan to miter the corners of a border, order one extra roll to cover cutting and waste. Mitering is a matter of finding the repeat in the hình nền border and positioning it so that a mitered cut leaves a closely matched design. Use this technique for bordering windows, going around cabinets and tile hoặc for vaulted ceilings.
• Test the paste on pre-pasted tường coverings to determine how long to soak them in water bởi putting two drops of iodine on different dry spots. If it turns brown, it indicates a starch-based paste requiring 15 to 30 giây to soak. If it turns purple, the paste is cellulose based and only needs to be soaked for 1 to 15 seconds.
• If bạn are working with a large patterned paper, it's best to start at the ceiling with an entire thiết kế element versus cutting through the middle of a bouquet, for instance. If bạn can start with a little plain background at the ceiling, it will help to mask any unevenness where the ceiling and tường meet. If there is a coordinating border going over the top, make sure the bouquet hoặc major element starts just below the edge of the border.
• When it comes to hanging paper, there are three very important rules. First, always use a level on every tường to maintain a true vertical line. Second, always cut inside corners, and then overlap the tiếp theo sheet bởi butting it in the corner. Third, always bọc outside corners, also overlapping the tiếp theo sheet to the corner.
• It's best and most efficient to work with a partner. Usually one person activates and sách the strips while another does the hanging. Establish a rhythm and bạn won't get in each other's way.
• Keep hình nền hanging sách hoặc guides in your tool kit for reference.
