How to Hang a Wall Panel

The surface of the wall must be smooth, clean, dry and sound. Flaking paint and loose wallpaper should be removed, and any uneven surfaces must be filled.

We would reccomend, if your wall panel is a very different colour to your wall, to give it a prime coating in a similar paint colour. The should prevent any of the wall peeking through. Very absorbent surfaces, such as plaster walls, should be sized. We would encourage cross lining your walls to achieve the best finish. This is the same first step for hanging any wallpaper.

Wallpaper panels come with lines to show where they should be cut. Begin by dividing the lengths as indicated by the cutting symbols. Then lay the lengths, with the label facing upwards, in numerical order starting with length number 1. Make sure you have all the lengths and that none of them are defective or damaged.

Our wall murals are always hung from the left to the right, start with the left corner of your wall. The lengths are numbered in hanging order from left to right.

The lengths should be hung edge to edge without any overlapping. It is essential that the first length is vertically straight.

Top tip: Make a pencil mark of one wallpaper width from the left near the ceiling. Hold a plumb line on the mark and draw a vertical line down the wall. Then line up your first length of wallpaper with the pencil line.

Decorative wall paneling is paste the wall wallpaper so roll the paste straight onto the wall. Be sure to evenly cover the entire surface. If you miss a spot, this will cause the wall mural to bubble.

Paste an area the width of one and a half lengths at a time. Make sure the wall has been pasted where the lengths meet so that the edges are not visible.

Gently and evenly press the lengths together to ensure there are no visible seams.
