Professional Advice


     professional advice

  • Remember to hang the paper right side up. Hold the strip up to the wall to see how the pattern flows. A good rule of thumb is flowers grow up.
  • Patterns rarely match exactly along the entire seam (due to uneven walls), so match your pattern at eye level.
  • When choosing a wallpaper design, be sure to note the lot number of the rolls of wallpaper. If you need additional paper, these numbers will guarantee a close match.
  • Make a small room appear larger by wallpapering the walls with a light neutral color such as off-white. Also be sure to paint the ceiling in a color that is lighter than the walls.
  • Make a big room with high ceilings seem cozy with dark colors or a large, dark print wallpaper.
  • If wallpapering over a rough wall, consider hanging liner paper first. Liner paper helps the wallpaper adhere better to the surface and acts much like a primer does when painting. This ensures longer lasting, more professional looking results.
