Learn how to wallpaper your wall with different types of wallpaper and different techniques. Try self-adhesive, prepasted or paste the wall wallpaper.

Wallpaper has always seemed to wax and wane in popularity and in the past one of the biggest drawbacks was that it was a huge hassle. However, wallpapering is easier now, making it a more population option.

Modern wallpaper can be applied in a few different ways with self-adhesive wallpaper, wallpaper that is prepasted and pastes the wall application. All of these methods are pretty easy and not nearly as messy and difficult as applying wallpaper in the past was.

They’re also easier to remove when the time comes, which is a huge blessing because removing wallpaper can be a huge chore and may leave you with no options but to paint over wallpaper which is less desirable.

Before beginning any wallpapering project, no matter what technique you’re using, you need to prepare the wall for wallpapering first. This is essential and the only way to get great results.

Self Adhesive Wallpaper

One of the best things to happen to wallpaper is self-adhesive backs. Not only does the self-adhesive wallpaper eliminate the need for messy paste but it can also be reusable so as long as you save the backing then you can store it and reuse it.

For anyone who’s ever used contact paper in a cupboard, you’ll understand the process and realize that it’s not as easy as it sounds, time and precision is key. Do not rip the backing off one entire sheet and expect it to hang perfectly, in fact, this is a sure way to ruin that entire sheet.

Begin instead by peeling down a small portion of the backing and lining up the paper and adhering just that small bit. Continue to slowly pull down the backing and apply the wallpaper.

Use a wallpaper brush to work out small bubbles. If the wall is pretreated properly you can pull the wallpaper off and reapply it to get a better fit or eliminate large bubbles. It’s just that easy.

Prepasted Wallpaper

If you’re wondering how to wallpaper with prepasted wallpaper, it’s actually quite simple. You’ll need a nice sturdy work surface, a table works best. Lay the paper down with the back up and activate the glue with a damp sponge.

Remember to use a sponge that is only damp, not too wet. If the sponge gets too gummy simply rinse it out and continue using. Work with one sheet at a time, preparing the entire sheet at once. This glue is very strong and will hold well for years if not decades.

Prepasted wallpaper is typically very, very sturdy which makes it a great choice for an area of the home that gets a lot of moisture and a lot of wear and tear.

Paste the Wall Wallpaper

For anyone who has struggled with sticky wallpaper and ended up gluing it to itself or themselves then the paste the wall technique will be a welcome relief. Rather than having a sticky paper which can fold up on itself and you, with this technique you simply apply the paste to the wall like you would paint and then hang the paper starting at the top of the wall.

The key to getting this technique to work best is to do it one strip at a time, applying the paste and hanging the paper. If you can get help, having someone hold the paper away from the wall as you reach in and smooth with a wallpaper brush, working slowly together provides the best results.

But remember that no matter what technique you choose you’ll end up with a huge mess if proper care isn’t taken to prepare the walls for wallpaper. After that wallpapering is a snap.
