How to hang wallpaper

Hanging your non-woven wallpaper is the final step in elevating your home and bringing your personal style to life.

Checklist before hanging:

Measure your wall | Confirm that you have enough wallpaper and that each strip matches the required height and width. Refer to our measuring guide for detailed instructions.
Prepare the surface | For a flawless result, walls should be smooth, clean, and completely dry. See our wall preparation guide for best practices.
Assemble your tools | Make sure all necessary tools are on hand. A complete overview can be found in our tools guide.
Acclimatize the wallpaper | Remove the wallpaper from its packaging and allow the rolls to gently unfurl. Place them in the room where they will be installed for at least 24 hours, allowing the material to adjust to the temperature and humidity.

Hang your non-woven wallpaper

Prepare the strips. Unroll the wallpaper and cut along the dotted lines to separate each strip. Each strip corresponds to the full height of your wall. Pile them flat in numerical order with strip number one on top (numbers found at the top right corner) on a clean floor surface.

Apply adhesive to the wall

Lightly mark the width of the first strip on the far left of the wall with a pencil. Using a spirit level, draw a fine vertical guideline indicating where the right edge of the strip should align.

Apply adhesive directly to the wall, covering the full width of the strip area and a few extra centimeters beyond.

Hang the first strip

The first strip sets the foundation for the entire installation. When facing the wall, application starts on the left-hand side with strip number one.

NOTE: If you added a safety margin when ordering, center the strip vertically on the wall so the excess is evenly distributed at the top and bottom.

Align the wallpaper with your marked vertical guideline and hang the strip from the top down, gently smooth out air bubbles as you go with a wallpaper smoother. Remove any excess adhesive immediately using a clean, damp sponge or cloth.

Hang the remaining strips

Continue by aligning each new strip, in numerical order, edge-to-edge with the previous one without overlapping. Apply adhesive to the wall for each strip, extending slightly beyond its width.

Carefully match the pattern, press the edges together firmly, and smooth out any air bubbles. Remove excess adhesive as needed. Repeat until all strips are installed.

Trim and dry

Once all strips are in place, trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and floor using a sharp knife and straight edge.

Allow the wallpaper to dry at room temperature with good ventilation for at least 24 hours. If a radiator is mounted on the wall, keep it turned off during drying to prevent uneven shrinkage.
