simple and
easy guide

2. When you are decorating your house there might be few things
which you feel the urge to do it yourself. One of those would
be painting the house or putting up a wallpaper. Because we
have seen tons of people on instagram and youtube doing it
and having fun. Also if you are renovating your house and you
don’t have quiet the budget to hire a labor for this stuff you
might decide to put up a wallpaper yourself. And to be honest
their is zero fuss in putting up a wallpaper. It is cakewalk if you
just follow all the instructions listed below -
Here we have given a guide to to put up a wallpaper for
the peel and stick kind -

3. Peel and stick
Equipments needed
Mid cleaner
Sponge or cloth
Measuring tape
Pencil
Peel and stick wallpaper
Smoothing tool
Utility knife
Straightedge

4. Step 1 - Prime
your walls with
water
Using a moist sponge or towel and a mild,
non-abrasive cleaning, wipe off the wall's
surface. Allow at least 24 hours for the
surface to thoroughly dry.

5. Step 2 -
Measurement
Take a pencil and measure
the width of the peel-and-
stick wallpaper, then
transfer the measurement to
your wall. Draw a line from
the ceiling to the baseboard
(or the area you're covering)
in line with your marks using
a straightedge and level.

6. Step 3 - Apply the
wallpaper
Starting at the highest spot you'll be wallpapering, peel off
roughly 12 inches of the adhesive backing and line the
wallpaper up with your markings. Press and smooth the
wallpaper against the wall from top to bottom while peeling
off the remaining backing. To eliminate air bubbles, run a
plastic smoothing tool along the wall with downward
strokes. After the entire piece has been glued to the wall,
gently cut along the baseboard with your straight edge and a
tiny utility knife to eliminate any extra. You have to do the
same with all the parts of the wallpaper, just remember the
pieces and how they are supposed to go.

7. Step 4 - Keep in
mind the patterns
To provide a smooth effect, line up the pattern of the
wallpaper while adding consecutive pieces. Overlap the
second piece slightly with the first and smooth the seam as flat
as possible using the smoothing tool. Trim as necessary at the
bottom, then repeat to cover the whole surface.

8. Step 5 - Cover all
the parts
Allow the wallpaper to overflow a
window, door frame, or outlet when you
reach it. Trim and remove the excess using
a straightedge and utility knife after the
piece is in place. Smooth the paper
against the wall surrounding the outlet or
window on all sides. Make sure all
electrical outlets and switch plates are
switched off, then gently cut away the
paper covering the aperture with a utility
knife. Don't worry if the hole has rough
edges; the outlet cover or switch plate
will disguise most flaws. You may also use
paper to create a seamless effect on flat
plates.

9. Step 6 - No air
bubbles
If any air bubbles remain, poke a tiny hole in the centre of the
bubble with the point of your utility knife or a pin. Then press
down on the wallpaper to remove any trapped air and
smooth it out.
