- Preparation is key: Before you can start wallpapering, make sure that the wall to be papered is clean, dry and smooth. Old wallpaper residue and any cracks or unevenness should be repaired in advance.
- Measuring and preparing the wallpaper material: The length and height of the wall should be carefully measured and enough Photomural should be purchased to cover the entire surface. It is essential to plan extra material for any pattern adjustments and offcuts.
- Preparing the paste: The paste should be mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions, unless you are working directly with ready-mixed paste. The paste can then be spread on the wall using a paste roller, making sure that every part of the wall is sufficiently covered.
- Applying the Photomural: Start at the top left-hand corner of the wall. From here, the strips are then applied one after the other. Depending on which type of wallpaper you choose, either apply the wallpaper butt to butt or with an overlap. When applying the Photomural, it is also important to ensure that air bubbles and creases are smoothed out immediately. Work from top to bottom and from the inside out.
- Cutting and trimming: Excess wallpaper material must be cut off at the edges and corners of the wall. A wallpaper knife or scissors are best for achieving clean edges.
- Finishing work: The wallpaper should now dry according to the manufacturer's instructions and if you want to be on the safe side, you could then additionally seal the wallpaper with a wallpaper protector to protect it from damage.
