What to do if wallpaper in a small area deteriorates

Sometimes, over time, the old wallpaper can get damaged, fall behind the wall, or just inadvertently damage someone. What to do in such a situation when the coating has a good appearance and you do not want to change it, but still need to restore a small fragment? Of course, if a piece is perfectly preserved, then there can be no questions, it should be glued back, using at least the well-known PVA glue, one does not need to buy any expensive foreign option. When pasting, a piece must be pressed with a damp cloth and remove any glue from the edges. After that, it is recommended to dry the glued place with a hairdryer, and smooth the surface with a dry rag, or it can be a fret roller, this is much more convenient.

Things will be more difficult if the torn piece is not preserved, it will take much more time, as well as the forces themselves. But where to go, to restore the damaged part is boring anyway. Actions need to start with the fact that you need to find the same wallpaper, fine if there are remnants after the repair, but this does not always happen and often it is worth going to the store in search of it.

A piece of wallpaper should be spread on a flat and clean surface. Given the pattern, light strokes should be applied to the wallpaper with pencil marks. Cut the necessary piece along the contour, grease with glue and attach to the wall. Using a rag, you need to level the piece and remove any glue. It is important to choose the same rut that was used during the repair, otherwise there is a risk that the patch will come off and everything will need to be done in a new way. After that, you need to dry the place with a hairdryer and walk a couple of times with a rag to even out the patch.
