Prepare the wall
Old paper, adhesive residues and uneven repairs can affect the new finish. Assess the surface before selecting the preparation. Confirm whether lining is required and allow for the chosen adhesive and paper instructions.
Set out the pattern
Consider the main sightline, corners, doors and windows. Pattern repeat and panel layout affect quantities and where joins occur. Confirm the order with the person responsible for hanging before purchasing the paper.
Keep the details together
Retain product references, batch information and the manufacturer’s hanging instructions. Check the delivered material before cutting. Discuss delicate surfaces and the treatment of sockets, trims and exposed edges in advance.
