Can anyone help....
We have an Arch hole between 2 rooms ...We've wallpapered the walls, but painted the 'inside' 4 inches of the arch - ie the thickness of the dividing wall. The problem is getting the wallpaper to stick properly on this 'open edge' - and look neat.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as edging that would go around this edge - and be flexible to run around the arch.

Paint the edge with about 1" width of gloss paint,paper the edging and leave to completely dry,then cut around the overlap wth a new stanley knife blade.
I papered around the arch with an inch overlapped to the inside, cutting slots every inch around the arch bit so that the bits would fold round, then put a 4 inch strip around the inside, still looks good years later.
Aha! I did it the other way around, 4" strip around the inside first, then papered & trimmed. Mine looks terrible!
I'm a wiser man!
Yeah..That's what I was going to suggest .I believe that's the " proper" way to do it . I did it that way on an alcove arch and it worked well

Plastic v profile draught excluder might work. Or it might look worse
