wallpaper nightmare

[noname]

I'm currently decorating the small bedroom . This room has 6 corners ,and each time i wallpaper round a corner the wall paper is not straight in the next wall what can i do here any tips

Where there's too much paper, cut/rip and overlap. They also reckon to paper away from the windows so that joints/overlaps are less visible.

Just means that the adjoining walls are not square ( as you would expect). Take the final length on the wall round the corner by about half an inch and cut it vertically . Then hang the first length on the next wall perfectly level and overlap it on to the half inch strip .

If you mean that the corner is appearing somewhere in the centre of a roll and you are wrapping it around the corner, you are doing it wrong.

You should be just wrapping around the corner an inch or so - by trimming it down, then overlapping a fresh edge over the top of it for the new section of wall. If the walls are really bad on the verticals then it is best to avoid buying paper which has vertical lines in it.

Is it a matching paper?

[Frank Erskine]

If the walls aren't true, consider using a wallpaper which doesn't emphasise verticals or strict pattern repetitions, or just paint the walls :-)))

If you do just paint the walls, you can always break up the monotony by using stencils, rag effects and so on.

Wait til you have the flu before you tackle it. By the end you'll be tearing bits up and just slapping them on. Oh yeah that's not what to do.

You'll need to use a paper that'll hide any errors in the walls and pray for luck.
