Wallpapering advice
Evening one and all!!
I am about to wallpaper my bathroom and one wall has a lovely large window on it. Can anyone out there advise me on making the window papering look like a professional has decorated for me?? I have papered before and (even if I say so myself) made a passable job of it!! Look forward to your replies Betty |

Re: Wallpapering advice
a good tip i picked up when wallpapering the bathroom is to line the wall with a thin polystyrene lining (cant remeber name of brand but homebase & b&q sell it), it absorbs the moisture created in a bathroom and stops the wallpaper peeling off. It also gets rid of any nasty bumps there might be in the wall. Also mix the wallpaper paste a bit thicker than normal for extra adhesion.
as for the window, a lot of patience is needed, make sure you measure accurately for the pattern to match up (sorry not much help with that bit!!) |

Re: Wallpapering advice
Who cares if they can wallpaper, are they good at stripping?

Re: Wallpapering advice
Cut the paper bigger than you need and then trim it with a stanley knife when it's actually pasted in situ.

One thing about Willows tip is that the overlapping bit should be cut off when it has dried, the dried paste makes it stiffer and easier to cut. Never try to cut wet pasted paper with a stanley knife, it tends to drag the paper making a ripped mess instead of a nice cut. Maybe a picture of the window would help. |

Re: Wallpapering advice
Wipe down the paste board between every piece.
It stops the past dring and getting sticky on the board which then sticks to subsiquent pieces and can rip them etc. |
