If your windows are more or less flush with the internal face of the wall, paper up to the window frames as if you were papering around a door.
When a window is set back into the wall, it leaves a narrow strip of wall all around, known as the 'reveal'. There is a specific technique for papering a reveal:
Step 1
Hang the full strip of wallpaper adjacent to the window and make two horizontal cuts in the paper overlapping the reveal, one just above the top and another along the underside of the sill. Fold and brush the flap of paper onto the side of the reveal. Crease and trim off the waste at the window frame.
Step 2
Brush the paper into place below the window, trimming to fit as required.
Step 3
At the top, cut a small piece of wallpaper to match the width of the overlap above the reveal. Paste this to the underside of the reveal and wrap it around the front corner, tucking it under the paper pasted above. Trim off the waste next to the window frame.
Where one piece of thick paper overlaps another, cut through both layers with a sharp knife to make a matching butt joint. Remove the waste and press down the joint with a seam roller.
