Dealing with Corners


Never hang a full width wallcovering around an inside corner
-
Always do it in two pieces.

 

1.    First measure the distance from the edge of the last piece you hung to the corner. Do this at several points between the ceiling and skirting to find the maximum distance. Then take a length of wallcovering
and cut it so that it is about 15mm ('/?") wider than this measurement, paste it and hang with the extra 15mm overlapping round the corner on to the next wall. Where corners are not accurately plastered , you must be more generous with the overlap.

2.    On the next wall take the rest of trie piece and mark a vertical guide line a little more than its width out from the corner.

3.    Paste this length and hang it, matching the pattern, alongside the vertical line and perfectly parallel to
it,
brushing back into the corner and overlapping the 15mrn which has already been carried round.
