Installing Wallpaper Borders

ALWAYS FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS...

Most borders are pre-pasted to make installation easy.

  • Decide which corner you are to begin--this should be the most inconspicuous one as you walk in the room since the end will not match where you begin.

  • Re-roll your border inside-out (design should not be visible)and submerge in water for the length of time according to the specific directions included with your border. Borders typically take only a few seconds to activate the adhesive.

  • Next, slowly and carefully unroll the border by loosely folding accordian fashion with pasted sides together as you remove it from the water. Most borders need a time for the adhesive to "set". Check the manufacturer's instructions for their suggested time - usually about 3 minutes.

  • Apply to wall by unfolding the border and smoothing as you go. A damp sponge is a good tool for smoothing. This also cleans the excess adhesive from the wall and border which is very important.

Now you are ready to hang the next border.

  • Wet it and fold it as you did before. This time when you apply the border to the wall you want to match the pattern.

  • Overlap the ends of the border until the design matches.

  • Finish hanging this border, then go back and trim where the borders overlap by cutting through both layers using a very sharp razor knife. Peel off excess border and discard.

  • Continue around the room in this fashion. Remember to thoroughly wipe all excess adhesive off your border.

Then step back and admire your brand new room.
