Hanging wallpaper has become somewhat of a lost art, mostly because many people believe it is simply too difficult. However, after reading the next few pages, you will see that hanging wallpaper can be easy and even fun. The first step is prepping the wall for the paper. If a wall isn’t prepped properly, the wallpaper won’t hang right or it will roll, bubble up or easily peel off. To prep the wall you will begin by completely washing the wall down well. Then lightly sand it. After the sand, gently run a damp cloth over the entire wall again to remove the sanding residue. Next is to measure the wall from ceiling to floor. This should be done at about every foot. As you go along, you will find that the length of the wall might change so that by the end you will sometimes see as much as a full inch or inch and a half difference from your first measurement to your last measurement. Record these measurements as they will be needed when it comes time to cut. Now let’s move to step 2.
