Measure your wall correctly
Accurate measurements are the cornerstone of a successful wallpaper installation. Before diving into the world of patterns and colors, it's essential to measure your walls correctly. This ensures you order the right quantity of wallpaper, minimizing waste and frustration. Dive into this guide to learn the ins and outs of precise wall measurement, empowering you to embark on your decorating journey with confidence and precision.
YOU WILL NEED:
- A tape measure
- A pencil
- Somewhere to write down the measurements
- Begin measuring from the corner of your wall, ensuring your tape measure is straight and flush against the surface.
- Measure the height of your wall from floor to ceiling. Then, measure the width of the wall from corner to corner.
- The standard sheet width is 28". Choose the sheet size from the drop down menu which is exactly or slightly above your wall height.
- Divide the wall width measurement by 28". The number you get is the required sheet size for your wall. Remember to round the number up! Or choose to use our handy WALLPAPER CALCULATOR located on each wallpaper design page to calculate the sheet amount.
- If you have multiple walls to cover, repeat this process for each wall individually.

Prepare your wall for wallpaper
Before transforming your space with wallpaper, proper wall preparation is essential for a flawless finish. From cleaning and smoothing the surface to priming for optimal adhesion, this guide will walk you through the steps needed to ensure your walls are ready to showcase your chosen design beautifully. Dive in to discover how to create the perfect canvas for your wallpaper installation.
1.SMOOTH
Inspect the walls for any cracks, holes, or bumps. Fill in any imperfections with spackling compound or wall filler, then sand the area smooth once dry. This ensures a flat, even surface for the wallpaper to adhere to. If there is existing wallpaper on the walls, it's essential to remove it before applying new wallpaper.
2.CLEAN
Thoroughly clean the wall surface to remove any dirt, dust, or grease. Use a mild detergent solution and a sponge or cloth to wipe down the walls, ensuring they are free from any residue that could affect adhesion. We do not advise using harsh chemicals for this step. Make sure that the wall fully driest before moving onto the next step.
3.PRIME
Applying a primer helps to seal the wall surface, creating a smooth and uniform base for the wallpaper. Choose a primer that is suitable for your wall type and allow it to dry completely before proceeding. We recommend choosing a wall primer or a wall paint that has a satin or semi-gloss finish for the best results.
4.WIPE
After priming, sand the walls lightly to remove any rough spots or imperfections. Wipe down the walls again with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. This is an important step as the wall needs to be completely clean and smooth to ensure the best application and longevity of the wallpaper.

1.DRAW A STARTING POINT
Before applying, use the spirit level to draw a straight vertical line one sheet width away on the wall where you will start the application.
2.PEEL 12 INCHES BACK
Starting from the top of the sheet, peel off a 12 inches or 30 cm long part of the protective backing.
3.STICK THE SHEET TO THE TOP
Stick the sheet to the top of your wall, and remember to align it exactly with the drawn line. Every next sheet will depend on the accuracy of the first one.
4.START SMOOTHING
After sticking the top, start slowly removing the backing more and smoothing the surface in a "top-to-bottom" motion.
5.KEEP GOING!
Keep removing the protective layer (from top to bottom), at the same time keep pressing the surface of the wallpaper to the wall to smooth it out.
6.ADJUST IF NECESSARY
Let the wallpaper apply itself evenly. However, if you stick the wallpaper incorrectly, it is possible to do small adjustments by peeling a small part off.
7.APPLY THE REMAINING SHEETS
When sticking the further sheets the edges shouldn't overlap, but they have to be very close to each other.
8.ENSURE ACCURACY
When the top of the wallpaper is attached to the wall, make sure that the pattern of the wallpaper matches the top and bottom of previous sheets.
9.REPEAT AND VOILA!
After 24 hours, repeat the smoothing process, trim edges and that's it!
A perfect end result!
