For wallpapering, you can easily attract a team of repairmen who quickly and efficiently perform the work. But in wallpapering the walls there is nothing complicated. You can cope with the task yourself. The main problem that most people care about is where, or rather, where to start? Someone advises to glue the first strip from the corner farthest from the door, someone from the window or, conversely, to the window. How right? The answer is that there is no one correct option.
The decisive role is played by the type of lighting. In the days of the USSR, all wallpapers had a strip on which the next canvas came. So that this transition was not so noticeable, it was necessary to start gluing from the window. The window also served as a vertical reference for gluing the first strip. Today, this rule also works, but there are several other ways that you can also use.
Where better to start:
- From the door - the point is to clearly maintain the vertical and not “fill up” the canvas on one side. A convenient reference is a door jamb. It is not bad to use a plumb line or level as a reference for a vertical line. Next, the wallpaper is glued clockwise from the selected direction.
- From the corner - suitable only for perfectly even angles in the room. This is rare, especially in old apartments and houses. Therefore, it is better not to take risks.
- From a large landmark - for example, a room can have several entrances and three windows. In this case, you need to start the process from the largest landmark.
- From equal lines - pasting starts from one large window in different directions. Joints are performed over doors or windows so that they are not so striking.
But in the presence of curved angles, where to start gluing is not so important. Since the vertical will still be broken. You will have to draw a vertical line on each wall again.
