of changing the appearance of a room. If this is your first attempt at
paperhanging give yourself enough time. You will achieve success by not rushing
the job. Modern materials make
decorating much easier for beginners. The extensive range of wallcoverings
available means that you can change the colour, pattern and texture of your
walls with ease. A room which is not too large, full of awkward shapes and long
drops is easier for the beginner. With practice you will be able to paper even
the most difficult areas of your home with confidence. Work in daylight or good
artificial light. Buy the best tools you can afford. The correct tools will
improve your performance and the quality of the finished work. Wallpapering is
usually the final stage of decorating a room after painting.
Before your start...SAFETY FIRST Take care when working on ladders,
and do not overreach. Helpful
TIP Buy all papers with the same batch numbers otherwise there may be
some colour variation. Wallpapering is a skill that develops with practice. If
you are a beginner, leave papering stairwells and ceilings until you are
reasonably competent.
