1 Hang the last full drop
When you come to a door, hang the last full drop of paper up to but not over the door, smoothing it down from top to bottom with a paperhangers' brush to remove air bubbles.
2 Hang the second length
Paste the next length of paper - but do not apply paste to the area of paper that will be cut away to allow for the door. Hang this length of paper and allow the unpasted area to fall loosely over the door. Cut the paper leaving a 50mm (2in) overlap at the top.
3 Trim at the side
Press down on the top corner of the doorframe to make an indentation in the paper. Cut diagonally from the edge of the paper at 45 degrees to this indentation. Brush the wallpaper into the angle between the wall and the doorframe and then trim excess paper.
4 Over the door
Using the unpasted piece of wallpaper, which hung over the door in step 2, cut, paste and hang the short drop from the ceiling or cornice down to the top of the door frame. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other side of the door frame.
