Step 1:

• Firstly, it is always recommended to hire a professional wallpaper installer. If you choose to install on your own, please see the following steps~

Step 2:

• We do not recommend installing wallpaper directly to drywall. Walls must be at least primed to ensure the wall is sealed before applying any type of wallpaper.
• Wallpapering over existing paint or primer is ok.
• If freshly priming, allow at least 24 hours to dry.

Step 3:

• Make sure your walls are clean and free of dust or grease.
• We recommend cleaning with a damp sponge or cloth in a solution of 70% isoproply alcohol diluted with 30% water, wiping in one direction.
• Allow the wall to become bone dry over 24 hours before beginning application.

Step 4:

• Gather your tools and make sure all are clean: level, straight edge, pencil, wallpaper paste, brush or napped roller, wallpaper smoothing tool, drop cloth or tarp, utility knife, a bucket of clean water, sponge, dry cloth, a clean table/workspace, and of course your wallpaper rolls.

Step 5:

• Lay your drop cloth or tarp down to protect the floor from glue and water. 

Step 6:

• Plan to start in a corner and work your way in 1 direction, moving either clockwise or counter-clockwise around the room.
• Use a level and straightedge to draw a vertical guideline for aligning the side edge of your 1st panel of wallpaper.

Step 7:

• Lay the first panel face down on your clean work table.
• Apply an even coat of the pre-mixed wallpaper paste to the entire back surface using your brush or napped roller.
• Apply from center towards the edges to avoid build-up.

Step 8:

• Lightly fold the top and bottom of the panel over itself to meet in the center so all pasted areas are covered, taking care not to crease the paper.
• This is called “booking”- let it sit folded for amount of time recommended by wallpaper paste directions. 

Step 9:

• Once the panel is booked, you can begin installing.
• Gently unfold the top half and align with your vertical guide.
• Overlap the top edge of the wallpaper 2-3” onto the ceiling to allow for uneven interiors.

Step 10:

• Work your way from top to bottom, pushing out air bubbles from center out to side edges with your smoothing tool.
• Unfold the bottom half of your booked panel when necessary to continue to application to the bottom edge.

Step 11:

• Use a straightedge and a small utility knife to carefully cut away the excess at the bottom baseboards and at the ceiling

Step 12:

• Wipe away excess paste from the edges with clean water and a sponge wrung out.
• Gently dry with a clean cloth.

Step 13:

• Repeat steps 7 - 12 for the remainder of your panels, matching the pattern edge to edge.

Step 14:

• Enjoy!
