How To Wallpaper Around A Window - Spencer Colgan

[@noelreilly8860]

PERFECT. From U.K. professional decorator. I watch your vids mainly because of your humour but you know the score. 👍. Just subbed

[@stefanallan4274]

As a fellow decorator you have done a fantastic job. It's nice to see someone taking their time and doing it the correct way. Great work

[@spencercolgan]

Thank you sir.

[@AnnePassmore]

This is really useful and has explained really clearly how to pattern march round the window. I feel ready to tackle this myself now.

[@darrenwhyman4539]

Now that’s how to wallpaper a recessed window! Perfect, I am going to do it this way for ever more 👍

[@darrenwhyman4539]

Actually used this technique for the first time last week on some very patterned Angel Strawbridge (look her up) paper, wow came out superb on two very tricky little windows, no curtains to hide seems😱 but who needs them now😄 finish is flawless. Great lesson thank you 👍

[@peterlambkin8957]

Well done sir best wallpapering I have ever seen. Even here in the uk you are amazing truly inspiring.

[@spencercolgan]

What a beautiful thing to say; I have to tell you I follow tradesmen from the UK so much because they seem to truly love the work and it’s inspiring to me my friend.

[@mirod5222]

Perfect! Simple and smart approach!

[@BrookelLakeKC]

Loving your videos! Why are they oddly so relaxing to watch wallpaper

[@karidanby7438]

Thank you for the video. I never hung paper before and this really helped. I had two windows to install around. Perfection!!

[@spencercolgan]

Thanks for tolerating my sense of humor; I really appreciate it because some people have said nasty things like your ego is huge… They just don’t understand my sense of humor

[@henkventer6194]

Your videos realy is helping me. I am from south africa and busy installing wallpaper at a newly built bank. Been strugling to get the stains of the vinyl wall paper and hanging into the recess so i gonna try all your tips tommorow. Thanks so much for sharing. Ps. Glue all over myself is also aggrevating me a lot so i feel your pain

[@cindyk4145]

What about the overlap on the other side where you matched the pattern? Do you cut a seam there also?

[@laurengormley4167]

Hey, thank you for all the helpful information! Can u suggest how to charge for install of commercial vinyl on a commercial job, walls and ceiling! Thanks so much!

[@spencercolgan]

Lauren, Figure out how much days it will take you to do the installation. Then tell yourself how much money should you make each day? And then charge that amount. Here’s the track… If they disagree with you that you are not worth that per day, walk away from the job

[@kirstytrott828]

Great explaining and easy to understand great job thank you

[@shellyc518]

Ignore all the negative comments. You're amazing and I love your sense of humour. Keep up the good work from the uk x

[@spencercolgan]

Thank you so much!

[@shellyc518]

@@spencercolgan just wondering I'm going to be wallpapering one wall next week and it has a window on it. Should I start from the window first? So like in the corner? Thanks!

[@spencercolgan]

@@shellyc518 is the window in the dead centre of the wall? If so, make a straight line above the middle of the window & the middle of the window and hang your first left sheet right edge against your line and then hang your first sheet on the right side with its left edge against the drawn line and join the seams. Easier said than done I understand. Before you do that, measure the distance between where your left sheet left edge will be from the corner left edge of the left side of the wall in order to determine if you will have at least 6 inches of wallpaper. Between the left corner of the wall and the seem of the last sheet that will go up against the left corner of the wall. It might sound confusing but just read it over and over again until that makes sense.

[@spencercolgan]

@@shellyc518 I just edited my ring mark in case you have already read it, I edited it to make sense

Love the passive narcissism comment. Hilarious. This is the easiest and best method I've seen so far

Perfect from a Yorkshire perspective. Nice work fella.

[@Tommytucamoto]

Perfect, nice long video feels like we are there with you, you explain a lot😀

[@tonyquinn3941]

Beautiful job , so many useful hints & tips

[@Martelless-offical]

Hi again Spencer Colgan would you say it is best to start from the window when decorating or do you start from the door and work round to the window thanks as the corners always throw me of which is next to the 2 side by side standard windows thank you

[@spencercolgan]

The windows require so much attention that I just began at the windows on my last job which I just sent to you… I sent you two videos from the same job and it all worked out because when you get to the windows, when you have multiple windows, it really makes the cuts very difficult and so I would just make sure that the wallpaper seems around the rest of the room fall reasonably far away from the corners but I would start planning from the windows. If you only pay attention to the windows they will look great but if you wind up an inch away from the corner, that’s not good so you wanna keep in mind where the wallpaper falls during the rest of the room

[@squidlings]

Damn I think I'll adopt this technique. Cheers!

[@gwynwilliams3232]

Excellent Video very well presented Thankyou

[@TheNailSpecialist]

Just what I need to see before I make a costly mistake. Thank you

[@gregrichardson5306]

Sir, you are a star , perfection , I 've not wallpapers for a while and needed to watch a true professional , love the flexible blade, how thinking my new brush was a waste of money. How things move on . Plus, will think how I charge my customers too . Painting is less " agro " than wallpapering, so it's a higher rate . Take care Spencer and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Regards Greg ( Hi )

[@spencercolgan]

Thank you sir.

Perfect . Never done this before .but nice splice . Always wondered how you got around that problem. I'm United Kingdom 🇬🇧 lol

[@sharon.shinwell]

What is the official name of the tool you used to smooth the wallpaper and is it plastic or metal. I'm thinking if plastic, doesn't the blade cause nicks in the plastic?

[@MemeMeme-hu7lw]

High great work.....question...would the paper that you overlaid to find the match leave a large amount of glue on the face of the piece underneath? If so how do I deal with it once again great work

[@adriennegarcia6628]

Beautiful job!

[@grahambrown5874]

Hi Spencer, I would make a slight change to your approach, because with my windows it resulted in an expensive mistake. When I made the straight horizontal cut into the corner to allow the paper to be folded into the opening, I found there was a tapered gap between the paper and the face of the opening, which was a quarter inch nearest to the glass. The problem was caused by the upper surface of the window opening not being truly horizontal. After taking the paper down and starting again, I started my horizontal cut one inch above the opening and ending in the corner. This allowed an overlap when I folded the paper around the opening, so I could use my straight edge and knife to make the horizontal cut. Just thought I would share my experience papering around my first window. On my new build I notice they used white sealant to hide the paper edges around the window. It looks tidy. Do you have a video for this? I don't know how you avoid getting the sealant on the paper. You can't use masking tape as it removes the print. I wish I watched your video about cutting around window trim before I started. When I made my cuts around the window seal the weight of the paper loaded with paste caused it to tear because easily. Hopefully, having seen your other video I will improve. Great video!

[@sarahsmythe7464]

I've seen it done this way also. I didn't understand why until I've just read your comment so, thank you 🙂 My walls and recesses are less than straight so maybe this is the way to go! Isn't there a chance that the same thing could happen from the top down though as well? Sorry, just thinking aloud.

[@spencercolgan]

Excellent share!!!

Anderlene…guess what? Last week I had not only two windows side-by-side with a gap in between but I have three on one wall and three on another and so I am going to share both of those videos with you! And by the way, I started right at the windows.

How would you recommend doing what you're doing with peel and stick? Pray? LOL I'm assuming I cant stick over like you're doing with this one since it's peel and stick but I have a kitchen pass through issue my brain is having a hard time figuring it out.

[@spencercolgan]

Use glue. You’re correct. It’s hard.

I have a question .how do u wallpaper when u have to wait for soaking time per pease.can you over soke .for example if I am hanging one pease and then have problems while the other pease is soaking what do or how do u do it please could u do a video on this please.how many pease at once do u paint due to soaking time.please reply many thanks karl

[@spencercolgan]

Please explain my friend. I’m not sure I understand.

[@denisconor648]

[@jetlaggedchef6806]

Perfect! New to your channel so I apologize if you've covered this in another video. I live in the Orlando area and have a 10 year old house. It has the standard light textured walls. I realize this is probably a stupid question but - do I have to sand the walls completely smooth before wallpapering? I'm assuming yes, but just throwing it out there in case you have a better solution.

[@spencercolgan]

Please do not think like that; criticisms from others in our past have made us very hesitant to learn and discover new things and so we Received our questions like… I know this must be a stupid question… Actually, it’s a common question from a lot of people. Do not send that stuff; please follow the procedures and techniques in the following video that I will list momentarily: Here is the video and this is what you want to do to your texture kzbin.info/www/bejne/f56VdJmpgt-ria8
