Tools and Tips

By being prepared with a few basic tools and keeping some tips in mind, your installation of the vintage designed wallpapers can be completed with ease.

Sandpaper, primer, sizing, and caulking are necessary to ensure your installation is done properly. Follow the guidelines of the wallpaper you are using for the proper purchase of the required adhesive, as different manufacturers require different adhesives.

Start by removing any old wallpaper, and/or priming the surface of other walls. If any uneven bumps or scraps of old paper exist, sand until smooth. Use caulking to fill any holes, cracks, and to even seams in old walls. When applying wallpaper, run seams up to each other as flush as possible, but do not overlap, and keep in mind that it is best to have the first sheet well on its way to drying before butting the next sheet up to it.
