The most common beginner mistakes

First of all, let's look at how to glue wallpaper is not necessary. The most common mistakes newbies make are:

• Poorly prepared surface. The level of complexity of pasting the joint of planes depends on their quality. If the apartment has crooked corners, then it will not be easy even for a specialist to complete the finish with high quality.
  Of course, it is not always possible to make the wall joints ideal, strictly at 90 degrees, but there should be no deviations from the vertical. Therefore, spare no time and effort to prepare the surface - putty the walls or even plaster;

Plaster corners will help to quickly and easily align the outer joints of the walls. During installation, they are leveled, after which they are glued with plaster or putty. The price of corners starts from 30 rubles per 2 meters.

• Wallpaper cutting. As a result of such a decision, the edges of the canvases may diverge, or vice versa - unevenly overlap each other, respectively, the gluing looks messy. Therefore, according to the technology, it is necessary to provide a small inversion to the adjacent plane.

The exception is paper webs, which can be cut vertically. The only thing, in this case, you first need to stick a thin strip of wallpaper on the junction of the walls in case the joints diverge;

• Big twist. If the joints of the walls are even, then such a mistake is not terrible, but in crooked corners a large inversion will cause the strip to deviate from the vertical. As a result, all subsequent canvases will be pasted crookedly;

• The sheets are not fully glued. When gluing the canvas, many beginners do not push it all the way, as a result of which a small area located opposite the inner corner hangs in the air. This leads to the fact that over time the coating begins to peel off and even tear;
• Glue applied poorly. If wallpaper is glued on a non-woven base, then the glue is applied to the surface of the walls, and not to the canvas. In this case, the mistake is to work with a roller, which does not always allow you to completely lubricate hard-to-reach places.

Beginners are often interested in - from what angle to start gluing wallpaper? If they are all even, then it does not matter where you start gluing. Otherwise, start gluing from an even angle to avoid warping the strips on the walls.

Sticking technology

As you know, there are two types of angles:

Each of their types requires its own approach when pasting, therefore, further, we will separately consider the process of gluing wallpaper on external and internal corners.

Internal

The sticker instructions are as follows:

Illustrations	Description of actions
	Surface preparation. Beginners often prime the walls with their own hands only with a roller, however, as in the case of glue, it is difficult to process corners with this tool with high quality. Therefore, after priming the walls, be sure to “walk” along hard-to-reach places brush.
	Applying glue. If non-woven wallpaper is glued, as mentioned above, the glue is applied to the walls, not the canvas.
	Gluing. The canvas must be cut in width so that the twist on the adjacent wall is about one and a half centimeters. In uneven corners, the inversion can be increased up to 5 cm; If you are gluing meter-long non-woven wallpaper, and you had to cut a wide piece of the strip, you can start pasting the adjacent wall from it, if, of course, the pattern allows. Then you should push the canvas with a spatula so that it fits snugly against the walls; If folds appear, the edge must be cut across, i.e. towards the crease. The strips on the adjacent wall must be overlapped with the edge. In this case, the canvas is aligned along the markup (vertical line), and not the edge itself.

This completes the sticker.

outdoor

Now consider how to stick this finishing material at the outer joints of the walls:

Illustrations	Description of actions
	Surface preparation. As in the previous case, the surface must be primed and glue applied if the vinyl sheets are non-woven.
	Bonding: Position the strip so that it extends 30 centimeters onto the adjacent wall; If the edge begins to wrinkle, cut it along so that the twist is no more than 5-10 mm. If the wallpaper is patterned, with such a small twist, you may need to trim the edge of the second canvas to match the pattern.

Many people are interested - how to protect the wallpaper on the outer corners? For these purposes, there are special decorative corners that are glued over the finish.

Wall decoration is an integral part of apartment renovation. Of the many options, perhaps the most famous and popular material for wall decoration is wallpaper. Huge selection of textures and patterns affordable price and an excellent ability to radically refresh a room - these are the main advantages of this material that have been captivating the owners of apartments and houses for more than a decade.

Another plus in favor of choosing wallpaper is the ability to independently perform simple work, getting savings and enjoying the result. However, the surface of the walls is uneven and many are stopped by the question: how to glue wallpaper in the corners?

The pasted canvases repeat the unevenness of the walls, hiding some of them. But the corners are different. Even non-woven wallpaper, which is easily stretched like a fabric, when dried at uneven corners, wrinkles, folds, distortions appear. Later they peel off in these places. To prevent this from happening, you should know how to glue them correctly.

Preparing wall corners

Save

Even if the walls are plastered according to the beacons and puttied with high quality, this does not mean that everything is in order with the corners. Small depressions and grooves are unacceptable, they are puttied. Ideally, when puttying and subsequent sanding, the inner corner is given a minimum radius of curvature.

This will allow you to completely remove excess glue and air when pasting. When preparing the outer corner, the use of a perforated corner is mandatory. This will help create straight lines and properly wallpaper, protect the plaster from collapsing during light impacts that occur, for example, when furniture is skidded.

When applying a primer to the walls, a roller is used. For thorough priming of corners, use a brush. Choose the order in which you want to label the sheets, and decide where to start. It may be more convenient to start at the edge of a window or doorway. To begin with, choose a wall with a less visible corner, such as where a cabinet will stand.

Pick up a narrow strip of wallpaper, cut off the width of the roll. Walk with her along the selected wall, trying out options for the layout of the sheets. Choosing the option of how to properly glue the corners with wallpaper, strictly follow the rules:

• joints of sheets in the corners are unacceptable;
• no matter how even the corner may seem, do not plan to paste over it with a single sheet;
• instead of an overlap sticker, apply an overlap sticker followed by a double cut.

By shifting the starting point, choose on the wall such an arrangement of the first panel so that approximately the middle part of the next panel falls on the corner walls. Using a plumb bob and a sharpened pencil, mark a vertical line on the wall. It is not necessary to draw a solid line, which may later become noticeable.

You can make barely noticeable marks a centimeter long every 20–30 cm and draw a line not from the very junction, but, say, one centimeter to the left or right, so that later this line closes. Such an inconspicuous line will serve as a reliable guide and will not be revealed later at the junction itself, as sometimes happens.

Pasting the first sheets

Recall the sticker sequence:

• Open the wallpaper with or without pattern selection (according to the instructions on the roll).
• Apply glue to the walls, canvas, or walls and canvas (according to instructions).
• If the canvas is glued, then fold it so that the glue does not dry out prematurely.
• Stick the canvas on the wall from the ceiling down, focusing on the vertical mark or on the extreme edge of the already pasted canvas, aligning the pattern.
• Carefully remove the remaining air with a roller or brush, smoothing from the center to the edges.
• Using a wide spatula with a clerical knife, cut the top and bottom of the panel, smooth again with a roller, if necessary, grease with glue and smooth again.

How to hang wallpaper: inner corners

1. We cut out a strip from a solid panel, 5 centimeters wide than the distance from the last canvas to the corner (we measure at the ceiling, in the middle and at the floor, we take the largest), the remaining piece will be glued after the first one.
2. We coat with glue (according to the instructions for the wallpaper) and paste the prepared canvas, smoothing it with a roller or brush, first on the wall, then in the corner and then a strip on the next wall, removing excess glue and air.
3. In places where the wallpaper wrinkles noticeably, we make horizontal cuts 5–10 cm apart.
4. Using a plumb line, we draw a vertical line to stick the remaining piece of canvas so that it overlaps by 2 cm on the previous canvas in its narrowest part.
5. We coat and paste the remaining canvas, combining a smooth edge with the applied vertical line, smoothing out the remaining glue and air.
6. We prepare the knife, for this, before each cut, we break off the tip of the knife along the marks on the blade.
7. Using a knife and a wide spatula, we cut without separation, in one step, both layers of the canvas so that the cut runs a centimeter from the edge of the second strip.
8. We remove the cut off excess, if necessary, bend the edges and smear with glue, roll with a roller.

After double trimming, an imperceptible joint remains. If it didn’t work the first time, remove the glued strips and repeat with great diligence. It will turn out for sure, and you will know how to properly paste the wallpaper in the corners.

Pasting the outer corners of the room is carried out in the same order and in compliance with the same rules: we mark up so that there are no joints and do not try to paste over with a solid canvas. Save

Helpful Hints specialists

• If you find an air bubble and it does not smooth out, pierce it, remove the air, fill in a little glue with a syringe and smooth it with a roller.
• Sometimes, when cutting from above, below, or at the window and door opening, the wallpaper chews up. Let them dry a bit and cut again. Perhaps the knife has dulled and it's time to change the blade.
• Do not allow drafts in the room, this can lead to premature uneven drying and flaking of the canvases.
• De-energize the sockets and switches in the room in advance and remove the frames from them. You can return it to its place immediately after pasting.
• When gluing on problem areas, add 10% PVA glue to water when preparing the glue.
• If old wallpaper does not remove well, wet it with primer using a paint roller. Remove immediately before primer dries.

In the article you can find the answer to the question of how to glue wallpaper in the corners. It is worth taking the finishing process with all responsibility, irregularities can be striking, thereby spoiling the impression of a freshly made repair.

Step-by-step instructions for gluing inner corners

When finishing main problem uneven walls and the resulting folds on the wallpaper can become. It should also be borne in mind that with curved walls, the joints of the wallpaper can diverge.

How to glue the outer corner (outer)?

The protruding corner must be pasted over by analogy with the internal one, however, there are slight differences that must also be taken into account when working.

What to do if the corners are uneven?

Uneven walls are a common problem in old houses. Before you start gluing top coat, it is desirable to preparatory work and bring the surfaces "in order". If visually the corners are even and do not require overhaul, it will be enough to walk with a hard cloth, removing small bumps and dust. If the irregularities are visible to the naked eye, then it is better to do a little work before you start gluing the wallpaper.

Features of gluing meter wallpaper

Wide canvases are convenient in that they allow you to finish with fewer seams on the surface. Gluing them is more difficult, but the result is worth it.

How to join in corners?

It would seem that such a trifle as gluing corners in a room can completely ruin all the work if done incorrectly. And if there is also a pattern on the wallpaper that needs to be customized, then you should approach the finish responsibly.

How to adjust the pattern in the corners?

It is important that the pattern is continuous and even around the entire perimeter of the room. To do this, you need to correctly combine the pattern, and cut off the excess.

1. The strips are also overlapped. Leave an allowance for both walls.
2. With a plastic spatula, the wallpaper is pressed against the corner.
3. After gluing the second canvas, the wallpaper is cut according to the pattern. This method applies to wallpaper with a small pattern. For a large pattern, trimming around the edges may be required.

Before gluing, you must first prepare the material for work by spreading the floor covering and studying the pattern. Segments are cut off after selecting the pattern in height.

Features trimming wallpaper in the corners

In order to get a perfectly even seam in the corner, you need to properly trim the excess.

1. After the wallpaper is pasted to the wall, a flat metal ruler is applied, it can also be a spatula or a rule. To make the cut line even, you can use the level.
2. With a sharp clerical knife, the excess is cut off along the edge of the ruler, after which the top layer of wallpaper will move away.
3. The bottom layer of wallpaper is carefully tucked in and removed, removed in the same way.
4. The canvases are smeared with glue and pressed tightly against the corner. As a result, the coatings fit snugly together.

Gluing wallpaper in the corners is not so difficult, but special care and accuracy is required. Today there is a finishing method that allows you to work without joints at all, namely liquid wallpaper. They are applied in an even layer and do not require such complexities as adjusting the pattern, width, accuracy in rounded places and other nuances.

Wallpapering walls - affordable modern facility interior decoration. Depending on the material used, you can hide some flaws and wall defects. People involved in repairs know that the wrong technology for applying wallpaper and haste lead to ugly consequences, a waste of time and effort.

Before proceeding to work, read the instructions for applying wallpaper to the walls.

What angle to start from?

Properly glued wallpaper will look perfect in the interior of the house. For work you will need:

• wallpaper;
• wallpaper glue;
• ruler;
• roulette;
• utensils for breeding glue;
• pencil;
• roller and brush different sizes);
• soft dry cloth or wallpaper brush (to remove air bubbles);
• sharp clerical knife;
• ladder or chair.

Many recommend starting work from the door, and someone - from the window. In reality, the opposite is true. Previously, canvases were produced with a special edge for overlapping. Therefore, I had to start gluing from the far wall with a window. Now they are making different kinds wallpaper, preferably glued end-to-end.

In no case should you start gluing the material from the corner. Be sure to level the walls and primer. Wallpapering uneven walls is not only difficult, but in some cases impossible.

For those who prefer to glue with an overlap, the first roll should be glued from the window. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to start from the doorway.

The main thing is to glue the first roll, then push off from it.

Gluing rules

The industry produces a variety of types and types of wallpaper. There are painted wallpapers - non-woven. The advantage is that they can be painted in any color. An economical way of interior decoration, because the costs occur only for paint.

Wallpapering technique requires sequential actions:

• wall preparation;
• temporary removal of baseboards (if possible);
• dilution of glue according to the instructions on the package;
• lubrication of the canvas (sometimes lubrication of the wall is required);
• applying a roll to the wall from top to bottom;
• removing air bubbles and wrinkles.

Gluing rules simple wallpaper(width 53 cm) differs from meter (width 1 meter). At first glance, it seems that meter-long materials are much harder to glue.

It turns out that this is quite simple if you understand ordinary wallpapering.

There are a number of benefits that will change your mind:

• less effort and time;
• cheaper than standard wallpaper;
• creating a seamless effect;
• high quality (made in Belgium, Italy, France);
• creating an interior for every taste.

Before buying wallpaper, be sure to calculate the expense. For this, the formula from geometry is used: (wall + adjacent wall) x 2. And remember that the length of one canvas per wall is taken with a margin of 5 cm. Always take a spare roll so that there are no flaws when you paste over door jambs and ledges. Be sure to read the length of the canvas itself on the roll in the instructions.

A prerequisite safety is to de-energize an apartment or house. After disconnecting, remove the top panels of sockets and switches. Starting gluing, it is necessary to clean the room from dirt and dust.

Rip off old wallpaper coverings with an ordinary warm water. Wet the coatings with water using a spray bottle and wait 20 minutes, after which the wallpaper will easily move away from the walls. Remove paper with a knife or spatula. Vinyl sheets are easier to tear off by perforating.

Much harder to get rid of paint. To do this, use a grinder or drill with a special nozzle, but it is better to use chemical solutions to remove paint and varnish products.

With the wet method of removing old coatings, less dust is generated and the plaster does not peel off. After removing the old coating, it is necessary to remove and repair weak spots(cracks, dents, bulges).

Be sure to level the walls and primer. Wallpapering on uneven surfaces is not only difficult, but in some cases it is impossible to carry out. Of particular difficulty for beginners in this matter is the question of pasting external and internal corners.

Inner corner

Action technology:

1. Applying glue to the canvas or, if necessary, to the wall. Carefully grease the wall joint, as this is the most time-consuming part in the corner.
2. The canvas is glued in such a way that it goes onto the adjacent wall by 4-5 cm.
3. Knowing the width of the material, stick the next wallpaper (2-4 cm) on top of the previous one.
4. Cut off the protruding parts, and glue the top material in place.

If sockets or switches are located in the corner, it is necessary to cut a round hole (smaller than the switches) from the canvas in this place.

The presence of rounded corners contributes to the formation of air voids. Be sure to make an incision in this area and glue the material tightly. More glue is applied to this area.

outside corner

The outer corner is especially noticeable in the apartment, so it needs strict accuracy.

There are 2 types of gluing external corners, depending on the unevenness of the corner:

1. If the angle is even, the canvas is glued in such a way that it protrudes 3-4 cm on the adjacent side. Next, the gluing process according to standard technology.
2. Rough walls. In this situation, the protrusion of the canvas on the adjacent wall increases (4-5 cm).

It is necessary to measure the width of the panel and retreat another 5 mm. Thus, gluing will overlap.

An incision is made in the middle of the overlap. Pushing the top of the wallpaper, remove the protruding parts of the canvas. After removing the top sheet, glue it in place.

On the convex surfaces of the wall, cuts are made, and the material is pressed tightly against the wall. These methods are designed for overlapping (for wide wallpapers). The drawings of these wallpapers are designed to hide flaws and protrusions.

For standard paper canvases, these options will not work. In this case, the first option with butt gluing is used.

If the walls are uneven

Perfectly smooth walls are a rarity. Small errors in the unevenness of the walls are acceptable, but with large deviations and noticeable curved surfaces, it is impossible to hide this when wallpapering. On the contrary, the view of the interior of the room is distorted.

In that case, if there are cracks, they must be repaired cement mortar . For minor cracks use gypsum plaster. Also, sticking wallpaper beautifully and with high quality will not work. The view will not match the expected results. In such cases, preparatory work must be carried out. An assistant in this will be putty.

Application rules:

• clean the surface from dirt and dust;
• tear off the old coating (if any);
• apply antibacterial impregnation;
• prime the wall;
• apply 1 layer of starting putty;
• apply a paint grid over putty (from the appearance of cracks);
• apply a second layer of putty;
• grease with two layers of finishing putty (thickness 2-4 mm);
• after complete drying, wash with a primer;
• remove all roughness and uneven surfaces with sandpaper.

How to stick models with a pattern?

Wallpapering corners is a tricky job in itself, especially for a beginner.

Monochromatic colored wallpaper is a great way out. But you can bring liveliness to the interior only with the help of a drawing. Also, in some cases, such models can cover up irregularities. Do not forget that the canvas is glued with an overlap, otherwise the pattern will add an awkward look to the interior, and all the flaws will be visible.

You can use the pattern selection method, not forgetting that the canvases are overlapped and must be cut off. The drawing should be of medium size and go strictly along the plumb line. Large or too small drawings add a distorted effect.

Compilation different colors canvases, you can achieve the division of the room into zones without resorting to additional costs (arches, partitions). It is important that the colors harmonize with each other.

Uneven walls and corners are found not only in the old buildings of houses, but also in modern new buildings. It is because of this deficiency that there are problems with interior decoration. To avoid sad consequences, you must follow the rules:

• In order for the wallpaper to hold better on the outer corners, it is necessary to press them as tightly as possible against the wall. Glue the wallpaper from top to bottom, gradually lowering to the floor, thereby avoiding the appearance of wrinkles.
• If glue gets on the front of the material, immediately remove it with a soft cloth. The front sides of some types of canvas become unusable from wallpaper glue.
• If an air bubble is found, it must be pierced. Using a syringe, inject glue and smooth.
• The inner corners of the room are the most problematic, it is in these places that peeling, swelling, tearing occurs. For effective and reliable gluing of corners, add PVA glue (10%) to water when preparing the glue. Knead the glue until smooth, so that there are no lumps.

• Make sure there are no drafts. They prevent complete and uniform drying, after which the material peels off. It is allowed to ventilate the room only after the wallpaper has completely dried. This happens within 2-3 days.
• To better paste over areas with windows and wooden openings, the canvas must be taken with a margin and allowed to dry completely. Only after that, carefully cut off the excess material with a clerical knife.
• The unevenness of the wall is not always noticeable. Only when pasting the inner and outer corners will flaws and incorrect convergence be visible. To avoid these shortcomings, immediately before work, be sure to check the curvature of the walls with the help of a building level and a plumb line.
• In the presence of thermal heating Use a thin, narrow brush to lubricate the adhesive.

A lot of people who decide to make repairs in an apartment or house with my own hands, believe that high-quality wallpapering will not be difficult for them. Yes, to some extent this finishing material is quite practical, but only on flat sections of the walls, which cannot be said about the corners. And how to glue wallpaper in the corners? This is the question faced by people who have begun repairs without professional help.

It is in the corners that gluing is a laborious process, which makes it difficult and calls into question the quick completion of the repair. So you should approach this issue with all seriousness and study with scrupulousness all the nuances of such an operation, because poor wallpapering in the corners can generally ruin the whole look.

How to glue wallpaper in the corners

Wallpaper is and remains the most popular material for finishing any kind of premises, whether it is a room in an apartment, an office, or a beauty salon. The quality of the wallpaper varies, and you can meet absolutely every taste, color scheme and cost.

Sometimes cheap nondescript wallpapers transform a room so much that they seem almost as good as expensive ones, that is, now the range of wallpapers on the construction market is different, and there is a high-quality and at the same time cheap material - two in one.

Today, in order to paste wallpaper, you do not need to have professional skills, but you need to know the pasting system. The walls must first be aligned along the perimeter, in the corners, and from here problems begin for non-professionals.

Wallpapering in the corner

It is not recommended to glue a single strip of material. In the presence of uneven corners, the strip lies in folds and does not converge with the other. We recommend leaving a protrusion around the corner by 1.5 or 2 centimeters and then the strip will lie flat. Choosing with high density wallpaper, use a plumb line. Glue part of the cut wallpaper with a small overlap on the adjacent wall so that it is as vertical as possible.

If there are switches, sockets in places of corners or in proximity to them, it should be before gluing and any construction works turn off the power supply and remove the covers. Fully stick the material on the convex parts, and only then carefully cut it out by making small cuts.

When starting to paste over the wall near the door, it is important to know that the strip of wallpaper must be cut vertically before the beginning of the frame. Then it is attached along the edge of the wall. Wallpaper protrusions should be cut off.

Non-woven wallpaper - how to glue wallpaper in the corner

Wall preparation

Wallpapering should be carried out in accordance with the existing technology, observing the sequence of processes, which applies not only to the corners, but in general to the entire procedure for pasting walls with flashing.

List of the sequence of stages of finishing work for wallpapering:

1. Clean the walls of oil paint;
2. If there is whitewash, then clean it off;
3. Remove deep irregularities, especially in corners;
4. Carry out the preparatory work. Surface primer.

It is better to prime the surface with professional tools that are sold in containers. different prices, but it can also be primed with diluted glue, but not particularly welcome. A special roller or a wide brush will help you prime the surface. Due to the fact that pasting is especially difficult in the corners, there is such a nuisance as a pattern shift. On the walls, the geometry of the drawing was preserved, but in the corners everything went wrong and now spoils the general background. Therefore, most responsibly approach the inspection of the corners, whether there are irregularities, eliminate them if any.

Preparing walls for wallpapering

Stage alignment of the corners of the wall

After you have pasted over all the smooth surfaces of the walls, you have to move on to the corners. Now inspect, and noticing irregularities, proceed to grinding - carefully puttying. After the putty is completely dry, it is necessary to clean the entire surface with sandpaper to achieve a perfect smooth surface so that the wallpaper does not peel off in the future.

Now the corners need to be coated with a primer. If you do not have the skill of puttying, then there is a way out, just buy the same type of wallpaper, or with a simple pattern that does not require further joining (paper). So part of the question of how to glue wallpaper in the corners can be considered disclosed.

The stage of applying glue in the corners

After leveling the surfaces in the corners, we proceed to the application of glue, it must be distributed with all care along the height of the walls, and in the corners most conscientiously, because in these places the wallpaper is most often peeled off. With a roller, we distribute the glue along the entire length and with a brush in hard-to-reach places.

Applying glue to wallpaper and walls

How to glue wallpaper in the corners

Finally, we come to the important part of the issue of gluing in the corners. The pros of this business recommend gluing a piece of canvas in the corners, even if the whole piece is perfectly straight. This can be explained by the fact that there is a high probability of distortions in the corners, and the subsequent sheet does not fit at all, and after drying, folds can be found. Room decorating professionals advise cutting wallpaper canvases so that the side of the next wall goes 50 mm. Below is a picture of wallpapering in the outer and inner corners.

Did you know: a nuisance for beginners in this matter is the curvature of the gluing areas. Such a defect in the eye surface cannot always be detected, so a list of tools will come to the rescue: a plumb line and a building level. They measure the corners before wallpapering.

If there is a quite serious "blockage", then it is better to come to the method of "cutting" in these places. This method is used for thick wallpaper - vinyl.
According to this method, the material is passed 50 mm to the adjacent wall around the corner, and the next sheet is glued with an overlap.
The next step: in the middle of the corner is performed with a special construction knife under the level or ruler in the direction from top to bottom a vertical cut through two layers of wallpaper.

The scheme of wallpapering in the corners

During the whole process, the iron ruler must fit snugly against the corner and be pressed strongly so that there is not the slightest movement. Otherwise, a shift along the cut sheet is provided. Masters recommend using a long metal ruler, a building level, which has more weight and produces a wonderful press that interferes with movement.

We glue wallpaper in the inner corners

To avoid the appearance of wrinkles in the inner corners, these canvases should be divided into two parts before wallpapering. The first step is to stick the material to the corner of the room, then you need to accurately measure the distance from the last piece of wallpaper pasted to the corner bend, and add 10-12 mm to the resulting figure. Next, one prepared part is glued to the wall with a cut edge at an adjacent corner. Adjust the edges as usual, be it top or bottom.
Now, using a brush or rag, press the wallpaper into inner corner rooms. If irregularities occur, such as warping of the material, then take a special knife and make cuts, while pressing the wallpaper into the wall. Then glue the next part with an overlap on the glued material, pushing it tightly against the wall with a brush. Finally, cut off the remains at the bend with the same knife.

Tip: If your corner inner and middle parts have small bulges, and the bottom is littered a little inward, it is better to press the cut edges with an overlap. When pasting a room with thick (vinyl) wallpaper the best option- this is the use of glue with a transparent base at the junction, such glue is suitable for dense materials.

Methodology for pasting the outer corners of the room

Gluing the outer corners of the room requires pre-calculating the length of the wallpaper, and so that the canvas is not only enough, but it can go around the convex part of the wall from 21 to 25 mm. When gluing dense quality wallpaper, be sure to make light cuts to smoothly lay the strip.

How to glue wallpaper in the corners correctly

So, on dense wallpaper, using an iron ruler and scissors, excess strips of material are cut off, leaving a minimum of an edge, the visibility of which will not be visible under the subsequent canvas. On top of everything, a subsequent strip is glued with an overlap of 5-6 mm. If you have chosen smooth wallpapers, then immediately iron them with a roller, and with a convex pattern, voluminous ones can be very slightly passed with a rag.

Wallpapering with a pattern in the corners

The vertical pattern of the wallpaper makes it difficult to stick in the corners, because in these places distortions are especially noticeable. A pattern with a horizontal position is no exception, for example, after gluing it can be completely skewed. To avoid such incidents, it is necessary to make a small overlap on the wall in the neighborhood and hide the joint at the top of the corner.

Tip: the difficulty of wallpapering corners is to follow the rule - the edge lay flat on a plumb line, and the other should be cut along the edge of the corner.

It is not possible for a non-professional to glue wallpaper and at the same time without pattern shifts without experience. The main thing is to make it less noticeable using the instructions provided above.

Repairing an apartment, house or office takes a lot of time and effort, as well as money, if you decide to turn to hired workers for help. But thanks to the instructions given to you above and following them exactly, you can proceed to self finishing, giving attention and time to the study of wallpapering in the corners. Pay attention to the presence of defects, whether your walls are even, and carry out preparatory work to eliminate irregularities. In addition, radiators and pipes often pass in the corners, interfering with the pasting process, turning repairs into a hassle.

If you approach this task responsibly, taking into account all the recommendations and rules, then you will expect quite a wonderful result, no worse than if the gluing was carried out by a professional team of craftsmen. By doing the finishing work with your own hands, you will save a lot of money. Good luck, and have a good completion of repairs in your home!
