Where To Start Wallpapering

Ideally, begin at the corner and hang your first length of paper on a wall with no doors or windows. That way, you can hang a full length from the ceiling to the top of the skirting board. Choose a wall to the right of the window if you’re right-handed or to the left if you’re left-handed. Also, it’s best to work away from the window, so the paper edges don't cast a shadow if they overlap slightly.

Try to avoid having to hang narrow strips against a window or door. If necessary, cut the first length in half vertically along the edge that' ll overlaps the corner. Last but not least, if your wallpaper has a large pattern, it's a good idea to hang the first length over a fireplace or other focal point. Then work away from it in both directions to make the design central and symmetrical. Complete this area before papering the rest of your room.
