How to wallpaper into a corner!

Wallpapering into corners can be a difficult yet inevitable job, but it’s not an impossible one. The key with wallpapering into corners is to plan ahead. You must plan to start just before the corner, not using a particularly long or short length of wallpaper to avoid creasing and other imperfections.

You will need :

- Wallpaper
- Tape measure
- Scissors
- Wallpaper paste
- Pencil
- Wallpaper brush

Plan to run just a small amount into the corner. Start by measuring from the last length of wallpaper that was hung before the corner, take a measurement from here into the corner and cut a length that is 1-2 inches bigger than your measurement. Paste and hang this section, which will run into and slightly past the corner. Now take the second piece and hang from the corner, along the vertical line, this will create a seamless effect and the end result will almost look like one piece of wallpaper running across the corner. Finish by brushing into the corner to remove any blisters and creases.

Working with patterned wallpaper ?

As with hanging any wallpaper, it is important to match up the pattern as closely as possible, which will be a little difficult when cutting shorter sections to paper into a corner. The joy of papering into a corner however is that any slight mismatch will go unnoticed to the untrained eye.
