How to reduce wallpaper consumption when fitting the picture

Wallpaper with a picture is always very beautiful, but it should be borne in mind that when gluing such wallpaper a lot will go into the bin. This article will help teach how to cut wallpaper so that less material is thrown away.

Types of drawings:

• Abstract - arbitrary stains of circles, stripes. Such wallpapers do not need to fit sheets.
• Strip - vertical does not require adjustment, horizontal needs it.
• Vegetable - grass, flowers. This type of pattern requires adjustment.
• Solid color pattern - wallpaper with polka dots, speck. It will be easy to work with such a pattern, since it does not require adjustment.
• Classic - a variety of monograms. Fit is required.
• Geometric - circles, rhombuses, squares and so on.

Wallpapering is not a very easy job, but knowing a few nuances, you can ease your work:

1. Sticking wallpaper with a pattern increases the amount of material, so you need to buy with the calculation of fitting the picture
2. When sticking wallpaper with a pattern, the joints need to be adjusted especially carefully

Here are some ways to save wallpaper:

• You can cut sheets from several rolls at once: if you glue wallpaper without a pattern, then cut one roll first and then another. With patterned wallpaper, everything is different. On the floor you need to roll two rolls and combine the drawings on the wallpaper. This method allows you to save 15-20 percent of the material.
• Shorten the length of the sheet a little: if you are planning a stretch ceiling, then you can leave 2-3 centimeters on top, and the same from below, if you have a baseboard, you can also leave 2-3 centimeters. Thus, you at least a little, but save.
• There is no need to throw away the trimmings, it is better to use them too: if the trimmings are wide, they can be glued over the windows, that is, where they will be covered with tulle.
• You can cut the rolls with a slight shift in the pattern: this method is only suitable for wallpaper with waves or curls. The pattern can not be customized, for example, behind a curtain or above a door. Wallpaper, in this case, is also saved.

In order for your wallpaper with a picture to please the eye and last for a long time, you need to properly prepare the wall:

1. Remove old wallpaper
2. Apply primer to the wall
3. If there are bumps or cracks in the wall, you need to putty it, allow it to dry, peel it and primer again

Following the tips of this article, you can not only perfectly glue wallpaper with a picture, but also save on wallpaper.
