Wallpaper hangs best on flat, sealed walls with the right paste for the paper type. This guide covers preparation, pattern matching and the order of work.
Check whether the paper is paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper. Mark a true vertical starting line - often a plumb line away from the main sightline. Match pattern repeat at eye level on the first drop. Trim at ceiling and skirting with a sharp blade once the length is smooth.
This guide covers hanging principles. For the order itself, visit Crestwood of Lymington to compare scale and colour, calculate rolls with pattern match, and discuss preparation. We can coordinate with your decorator when you proceed.
When you are ready to order, the showroom team helps you finalise quantities and the next steps.
