Before you even think of decorating a room you need to plan it out first, this article will describe a few basic principals that will help make any job go smoother.
Choosing the right wallpaper for the job is essential for both preparation and convenience there are seven basic pattern varieties you need to differentiate. For example striped wallpaper can heighten or lengthen a room, subtle colours or warm tones can change even the dullest room into a room with a calming and relaxed atmosphere. Wallpaper can be expensive and you will have to live with your choices for a long time or until you can afford to change so think about it first and choose your colours carefully, early planning always helps in the long run.
Stripping the previous wallpaper off the walls can create a mess so it’s a good idea to move all the other furniture out of the room first, the ideal situation is to completely empty the room of all its contents first. Anything that you can’t move needs to be covered with dust sheets to prevent damage from any spills that or messes that may occur later.
Before putting any new wallpaper on your walls you need to take off the old stuff first, the quickest way to do this is with a steam stripper but if you do not have access to a steam stripper soaking the paper with water first will help it come off the walls. Remember a watched pot never boils so several soakings of the walls is required, this is a slower process than steam stripping. If you can hire one it will prove to be a time saver, stream strippers are available to hire at most local DIY shops for a cheap price.
After all the wallpaper has been removed from the walls to be decorated there may be holes and cracks that may require filling, using decorator’s filler. Once all walls are sound and free from anything that may disturb the lie of the wallpaper you are ready to start
