1 – Preparation:

Your wall must be smooth and covered with a white etch primer.

If you had wallpaper on the wall, remove-it and sand the surface if necessary, then wash. Once dry, paint with a white etch primer.

If you wall was painted, sand and wash it, then paint with a white etch primer.

Remove switches and wall lights before hanging.

2 – Visual guide

Draw a vertical line as a visual guide from the left side of your wall, figuring out the width of your strip. Use your level to make sure it’s straight.

This will ensure you hang strips vertically – ceilings and corners are rarely straight !

Do this for each strip.

3 – Paste the wall

Apply paste generously directly on the wall surface where the 1st strip will be hung, using a pasting brush or roll. For a perfect finishing, apply paste further your visual guide, so the strip is really well pasted to its end.

4 – Hang the strip

Unroll the strip from the top to the bottom. If you are not sure the ceiling is perfectly horizontal, keep 2-3 cm of printed paper at the top.

5 – Smooth

Press wall covering onto the wall using a foam rubber roller to remove air bubbles and excess paste, from the center of the strip to the sides.

If paste goes onto your strip, no problem, you can clean it with a (clean!) sponge and some water. The paste being waterbased, it is easy to clean.

6 – Match

Repeat the same operation with the next strips, paying attention to matching patterns.

Our paper does not shrink when drying : therefore you only need to paste the next strip side–by-side with the previous. As long as the paste is not dry, you can remove, slide and replace the drops.

For a perfect finishing, use a scraper to flatten the connection.

7 – Cut

Once the surface is full try, cut the excess paper at the top, bottom, left and right. Use a very sharp (new) cutter.
