Tip from the Paint Mixer
Prepare thoroughly before wallpapering! Measure the exact square footage of the area to be wallpapered and account for approximately 15% extra to cover cutting loss. This ensures you have enough wallpaper for a flawless result.

Did You Know...
The right wallpaper in your living room not only brightens your space but can also make it feel larger? Choosing soft shades and a uniform finish can give the illusion of more space and light!
Make Your Living Room a Showstopper
Wallpaper opens up endless possibilities to give your living room a unique look. Consider creating a feature wall that immediately grabs attention and becomes the room’s focal point. This could be placed behind your sofa or around the fireplace. A neutral base paired with a striking wall paint colour ensures the perfect balance between tranquillity and energy. With the right wallpaper, your living room can become the stunning centrepiece of your home.
Step-by-Step Guide to Wallpapering Your Living Room
Wallpapering can completely transform your living room, and with a clear plan, it’s much easier than you think! Follow this step-by-step guide for a flawless finish:
- Step 1: Preparation is Key
Measure your walls to calculate the number of wallpaper rolls you’ll need, adding approximately 15% extra for cutting loss.
Gather all necessary tools, like a wallpaper table, cutting knife, ruler, glue brush, wallpaper paste, and a spirit level.
Check the walls for irregularities. Fill holes and cracks with wall filler and sand the surface smooth. Ensure the walls are clean, dry, and dust-free.
- Step 2: Choose the Right Wallpaper
Select wallpaper that matches your interior and function. Paintable wallpaper offers flexibility if you want to change colours later.
Allow the wallpaper to rest in the room where it will be applied so it can acclimate to the temperature and humidity.
- Step 3: Prepare Your Wallpaper
Cut the wallpaper into strips slightly longer than the height of your wall, and label them for placement.
Mix the wallpaper paste according to the instructions on the packaging, ensuring it’s ready to use.
- Step 4: Start Wallpapering
Begin in a corner of the room and work towards the window to minimise light reflection on joins.
Draw a vertical guideline with a spirit level to position your first strip correctly.
Apply paste either to the back of the wallpaper strip or directly onto the wall, depending on the wallpaper type.
Hang the wallpaper, starting from the top. Carefully lower it down and smooth it out using a brush or soft cloth to remove air bubbles.
- Step 5: Finishing Touches
Trim excess wallpaper along the edges with a sharp knife and ruler.
Align the next strip closely to the previous one, ensuring the seams match perfectly.
For corners, allow slight overlaps which you can trim neatly afterwards for a seamless look.
- Step 6: Patience Pays Off
Allow the wallpaper to dry as per the manufacturer’s recommended drying time. Avoid draughts and extreme temperatures during this period.
- Step 7: Final Touches
Inspect your wallpaper for air bubbles and push them out gently towards the edges with a soft cloth.
Clean up your tools and enjoy your transformed living room!
With this guide, you’re well-equipped to wallpaper your living room professionally and stylishly. Good luck!
