Aside from being an amazing and easy way to add interest to a kids room, wallpaper is also
easy to clean and maintain. That is because most of the wallpaper for kids available today come with a coat that makes cleaning most household marks a piece of cake. When it comes to wallpaper installation, it is an easy-to-do-project that you can accomplish on your own. Here is how.
- Smooth any imperfections on the wall with a sandpaper. Next, apply a coat of wallpaper primer and wait it do dry.
- For papering the entire wall, cut vertical strips 10 cm longer than the wall height (you will trim the excess once the paper is up).
- With a tape measure and a pencil, mark on the wall where the wallpaper will be placed.
- There are some wallpaper designs that come prepasted, so you can just dampen them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If yours doesn’t, in a paint roller tray, pour premixed clear wallpaper glue. With small paint roller, apply it to the back of the paper.
- One by one, apply the paper strips to the wall. Once a piece of paper is up, you have about 10 minutes to arrange its placement. Slowly push any bubbles out toward the borders.
- With a clean, damp sponge, wash off excess glue, keeping to smooth the wallpaper as you go.
