- Clamp wallpaper lengths to the pasting table with four large bulldog clips. This stops the paper re-rolling.
- Start the hanging sequence with a straight drop from ceiling to floor, starting at one side of a window. You will work away from the window in both directions towards the darkest corner of the room. Patterned papers should be centred on the chimneybreast.
- Never assume that the walls in your home are straight. To ensure that wallpaper is hung absolutely on the vertical, plumb and then draw a vertical line from the ceiling or cornice to the skirting board. The first continuous drop of wallpaper should be hung alongside this line for accuracy.
- When trimming excess wallpaper, you can use a sharp craft knife, if you prefer, instead of scissors: leave the paper in place in the angle and run the knife along the crease.
- Remember to allow for waste during pattern matching. Some random pattern drops have to be hung with each length the opposite way up, so make sure you labels carefully.
