Before you wallpaper always have the wall painted with at least an eggshell gloss. that way when it comes time to remove it is way too easy. Cheers!

[@stevenrobinson2964]

No! I'm going to continue the tradition of passing on the frustration to the next owner. For serious, I just got done peeling wallpaper in my house. It was easier to remove the wallpaper and adhesive on walls that were bare plaster underneath. The painted room was harder because the scraper would get caught in chunks of paint. The plaster is hard and the scraper glided right over it. I used a steamer to remove the wallpaper and adhesive. The steamer softened the paint underneath the wallpaper and adhesive.

My Husband always done all the DIY around our house. He passed away suddenly last July and I have been trying to finish stuff he had been doing in our home. I'm going to try my best to hang the wall paper. I have half walls as my husband was a carpenter and did a lot of wood around the bottom of the walls. I'm very nervous about doing it but I have finished all the painting and it looks great. My husband Chris would be si proud of me for doing it.

[@sharonrickards3297]

As a retired paperhanger, the best "Primer" for wallpaper I used was Shieldz Wallpaper Primer by Zinsser. You must absolutely prime your walls before papering. If you don't, you will destroy your wallboard when you try to remove it. It also creates nice "slip" when working with the paper. Another note, your walls should be a smooth as possible. Nail holes should be filled, sanded and primed. Wallpaper will magnify every imperfection on your walls when dry. Always have plenty of fresh razor blades on hand too. Happy papering!

Great video for the home DIY’er. But as a Wallpaper hanger of over 30 years standing I hope you don’t mind me making one suggestion. When starting from an uneven corner I always find it looks better if you take the first drop slightly around the corner then trim the edge so that the wallpaper fits tightly into the corner. Then you don’t get a little gap between the straight edge of the wallpaper and the corner. Otherwise a great demo. I hope I have been helpful. I just wish I had your presence in front of the camera. All the best H

[@vanessad.8755]

Thanks for the advice! I was wondering if you had to go back to that 1” of wall and put a trim of wallpaper or not. Also, is it normal for the wallpaper to look slightly uneven at the top to the wall? Or can you achieve a perfect line?

@@vanessad.8755 Hello. I think it would be very difficult to add a bit of trim in the corner but it is doable. Best to avoid having to do it as it is very difficult to trim. In answer to the second part of your question. It isn’t normal to have a slightly uneven finish at the top of the wall. Professional wallpaper hangers should always be able to achieve a near perfect finish at the top of the wall as long as the wall to ceiling join is ok. All the best H

Very helpful video. I've marked the parts I want to go back to while hanging one myself: 2:20 - how much adhesive - if you have lots, it's easier to move the wallpaper around 4:23 - tools: the flattener, sponge, straight edge, sharp knife 5:10 - how to hang it 5:48 and 6:44 - how to make sure the first piece is straight and without bubbles 7:44 - smooth out all bubbles and wash off adhesive with wet sponge 9:02 - pull the roll to help you keep the paper straight up 10:24 - line up the pattern gently, not stretching, push it in place. Lift it off if it's creasing. 11:26 - line up the bottom half. 13:18 and 13:37 and 14:50 - how to go around obstacles 15:33 - cut the paper off around a window 16:07 - make sure it's aligned perfectly, smooth it out, wash off the glue 18:00 - summary

Ma man is saying truth 😂

[@pleasetakethis6827]

Scissors make it much easier to negotiate relief cuts when going around anything. The spring loaded ones by Fiskers sold at Wmart are the only ones we use. The rest are to small or irritating. Also taking the time to measure where your seams will fall is crucial, you don't want any tiny strips right next to a corner or door frame, thus adjust the overlap of the very first piece. I've been installing wallcovering for 20 years, so many tricks to pass on, really need to make some videos. Like pre pasted wallpaper does not need to be dipped in water, but rather cut into pieces, laid out on a table, then using a clean 1 1/4 nap roller from a 5 gallon bucket of water you can apply the water evenly to activate the glue, much easier. We didn't see it, but I'm guessing you washed the glue off asap which is key, especially from the ceiling to avoid staining the paint. The paper you installed had a vinyl face so you could paste the wall. However if the paper is open faced, or paper on the face, you would need to use a table and paste the glue to the back of the paper and let it grow for a couple of mins. Otherwise it will grow on the wall and create a ton of bubbles along with a mismatch seam. For residential and fabrics I use Roman Clear 880 adhesive. For a machine and commercial wallcovering we use the Roman Clay base, both from Sherwin Williams. Also prime the walls with a 100% acrylic like Roman RX-35, which is clear and promotes adhesion as well as creating a moisture barrier so the glue doesn't soak into the wall, thus making it easy to remove later if needed. Never use or hang over flat paint as it will probably come up at the seams later and make it very difficult to install. Just felt like sharing, hope this helps someone. Thanks - The Wallpaper Guys

[@CopperBottomify]

[@OwlingDogDesign]

As a designer, I say wallpaper is definitely making a comeback and I am glad! I always thought wallpaper was pretty neat. I found an interesting thing. When I recently papered my kitchen, I chose a retro (1920's) design 'art deco' pattern. Recently was going through some old photos of my mom from back in the 40's. There she was, sitting in a living room (parlor back then) and the wallpaper behind her was almost exactly like what I put in my kitchen. I loved finding this out, just brought me closer to her, God rest her soul.

I don't think it's making a comeback, because it never went out of style. We've been subbing this out, but would like to do it ourselves. Any special considerations when using a natural material vs regular wallpaper, especially in moist environments such as high-humidity climates or in bathrooms?

rule of thumb preparation is key to a good finish make sure your papper batch number is the same on every role, check role for any damaged ends ( this saves a head ake getting half way through a role and you find a chunk in the edge, always the first hang make sure your paper is strate ( plumb line works best as it uses gravity ) and work from a source of light that way it also helps to hide shadows of your joints )

[@johngilligan9483]

excellent advice, especially checking the batch number. Barry i'm an old plumb and chalk man, a few years ago i was shown how to use a lazer i was converted. Not a tool that you'll use much unless you're a pro, so hire from the DIY store.

[@OwlingDogDesign]

Excellent! The thing I don't have is that flat smoothing sponge (like a trowel). I really like that and want to find one (I cut my paper accidentally once with my plastic smoother). Things I did differently and wished I did them like you just did: a) paste the wall with a paint roller and b) use lots more paste! I put the paste on with a brush because I can't get down to the hardware store to buy rollers/more brushes, bummer (COVID-19). And I didn't know to overlap while putting on the paste. I would paste just a small section at a time with a paint brush; sometimes it would dry out and I'd have to add more. I started out trying to cut my wallpaper to length. Then I got smart and left the roll on the floor like you did - so much better! I wallpapered my kitchen on the top part of the walls (art deco - so neat). I'm wallpapering my laundry room (2 walls). I did a focal wall in my bedroom (sooo pretty) and I'm planning to do my attic bedroom walls (lots of cuts/slants/windows/doors). I really like wallpapering, funny as it sounds. I need to build up more tools like you're using though. One thing you don't mention, but is helpful: Wear a tool belt for all your implements. It sucks to forget something and have to climb up and down the ladder to get it. Thank you for this video!!!

[@JamesE707]

Very clear video, thanks. Question: How do you work the corners?, as you say - they are never straight.

[@elanderson7226]

Ok here is my tip for corners, go around leaving an inch or so, then when u put the next strip up, overlap the paper, then cut through both at once, when u do this u hope the pattern will match up, cus what i have done with pasted wall paper, i never cut into the corner, but off to the side of the adjoining wall, so good luck, if ur corners are not plumb, then there will be a pattern mismatch, but another way is to take the wallpaper around the corner, 4 or 5 inches, then make sure that strip is straight, by pushing the paper into the corner, if the walls are not plumb then u can push the paper into the corner and make a cut into the corner, and remove the excess, that is how i have done it, well that is what i have done, with prepasted wall paper, and it has always worked for me, looked fine, after the job, because if ur doing the whole room, you will run into corners which will throw ur whole pattern off, it can be tricky so take your time with any corner, hope this helped a bit,

[@valaustin8756]

This is a great channel! A question about papering in a room where corners aren’t square : I understand the application of the first piece of paper using a laser line (in this case on the right hand side of the paper), but as you work around the room and come to the second (or third, etc) corner, what is the best way to make corner adjustments for that next wall? In the past, I have tried to discreetly splice it at the bottom, and overlap as much as necessary to accommodate a laser line on the new wall. Is there a better way?

Thank you for this video, i previously watched a video and tried my hands at redoing my living room and it came out worse 3 months ago. it kinda put me off wallpaper. but having watched your video gave me confidence to try again, i then wallpapered my bedroom following the steps in your video and i must say it came out absolutely amazing. You sir have just made me happy. Now im reconsidering peeling off the wall paper in my living room and redoing it all over again

Thanks so much for the great video! First time in decades since I wallpapered (used to do it with my grandpa rip), but today we did a wall in our masterbedroom and it turned out GREAT!!

Guys a joke. That is not how to hang wallpaper.. Full stop.

[@heftyhefty_]

@@thomashurley5368 do you have a video tutorial showing the “correct” way?

[@thomashurley5368]

@@heftyhefty_ No. However, start with a papering table with an extension for wider material (27”) Apply adhesive with a wall brush or cigar roller, “book” the paper (fold to middle end to end) and let steep for a minute or so. Take booked paper to a plumb line on the wall allowing 1/2 inch into the corner. With an inch or so on the ceiling and true to your plumb line gently pull the underside fold down to the floor. With a quality smoothing brush, (the stiffness depending on the material) smooth carefully from center outwards. Consider the pattern “drop”, Match your pattern and repeat as above. The finer points of going around openings, outside corners, inside corners, intricate moldings, foils, grass cloth, suedes, untrimmed paper with selvage ,etc.require experience, muscle memory and patience . Hope this helps in your consideration. Good luck and avoid the DYI guys .

Hey Jeff, Love all the content. Thank you for simply being honest. I may have missed it but are you or have you already done a vinyl, laminate, or actual wood wall?

[@elanderson7226]

How long does it take the glue to dry if u mix it up all at once, since I have no plans on doing the whole wall at one time

[@Skyking929]

@@elanderson7226Consider trying this> Mix some adhesive, use it and then tightly wrap and seal a plastic garbage bag around the pan after misting the surface with water. Works well (several days ) for keeping paint fresh.

Love this - looks so easy. Thanks so much for this super useful tutorial - I have all the tools and ready to go, but super scared to make that first hanging - wish me luck. I might let you know how it turns out 🙈

[@sallysocial1819]

@@AF200002 thanks for asking 😀 The results were amazing for my first one! I followed the steps - the secret is lots of paste on the wall so you can move it around easily. Also, make sure you have all the right tools - sharp scissors and a knife

Jeff, super informative as always. I’m about to do an accent wall for our nursery and wondering if I can still use your technique if it’s water activated wallpaper? Or do you recommend cutting each strip and spraying? Thanks

[@JCHILLIN_23]

Great demonstration mate 👍

[@rubenmoreno1439]

Hey Jeff great video! I plan on installing wallpaper but my wall is textured. Do you recommend me adding drywall compound in order to make it a smooth finish?

[@DMed-og6xv]

I have this problem as well, I'd LOOOVE to add wallpapers to a few walls, but here in Texas textured walls are a common thing. my house came this way. womp. I don't know that it's worth it to take the time to smooth them with compound , then paint, then wallpaper. I'm already tired lol

[@SLaird22]

@@DMed-og6xv we also have textured walls in Florida, I wallpapered over one and it looks nearly perfect. I'm just guessing here but I'd bet that pushing the paper into the adhesive smooths out the surface

[@once.upon.a.time.]

This is a really well-made video. I'm a total beginner and it gave me a lot of confidence to put up wallpaper for the first time. I bought some right when this video came out but I was so daunted that I put it off until now, I wish I had watched this sooner!

Thank you! This is my project for before Christmas. You have answered so many of my questions. I last papered with the pre pasted stuff. Bless you, you are my new go to guy. I'm solo and old so I need all the help I can get.

[@Junior_Jackson]

I agree. It’s to personal and difficult to remove.

[@Matt-dc8lp]

Love your videos but you got this one totally wrong. Here's the proper way to hang wallpaper. Step 1: buy wall paper Step 2: realize that you made a bad life choice by buying wallpaper Step 3: return, throw away, or even better yet burn said wallpaper Step 4: punish yourself in a way that you will remember to never buy wallpaper in the first place (recommend hot sauce in the eyes) Now you know the CORRECT way to hang wallpaper.
