How to Hang Wallpaper in a Corner

- When hanging wallpaper, it's important to ensure that the patterns match from one panel to the next in order to preserve visual consistency. That means carefully aligning the edges so that the pattern of one panel naturally blends into the next, while leaving no space in between. But that procedure can be tricky if you’re wallpapering corners. When you’re faced with a 90-degree bend in the wall, how do you put wallpaper inside the corner without creating an unsightly mess in there?
Figuring out how to wallpaper a corner without creating a pattern mismatch or leaving an annoying gap beneath the wallcovering at the bend of the wall requires a little preparation on your part. Fortunately, placing wallpaper into corners isn’t really that difficult if you know what you’re doing. Even a non-professional can master the art of applying wallcoverings in these areas without the need for wallpaper corner edging or similar decorative solutions. And ROMAN Products is here to help you learn.
Our video tutorial shows you how to wallpaper corners to produce a seamless, elegant effect.
HOW TO HANG WALLPAPER IN A CORNER
1. Take your wallpaper to the corner and tack up each side of the paper on either side of the corner. Before working on the corner, ensure your pattern matches with previously hung wallpaper. Gently push the wallpaper into the corner while smoothing out the side pattern matched at the seam. Reposition the wallpaper as needed.
2. With the pattern match set, use a smoothing tool to firmly push the wallpaper into the inside corner. Then, place the smoothing tool against the wall and use a sharp snap-blade knife to cut wallpaper at the corner. Be sure to work from the ceiling to the floor, changing to a new blade if necessary. Once the corner is cut, trim the excess paper from the top and bottom of the wallpaper section nearest the seam.
3. On the new wall, reposition the wallpaper as needed to match the pattern. Many inside corners are not perfectly square, so take care to ensure the outside wallpaper seam is straight and plumb. Smooth out any bubbles and trim excess paper at the ceiling and floor. Any residual wallpaper paste can be washed away with a damp rag or sponge.

This person may be doing things the 'long' way round but she is a very good teacher for anyone who is a beginner or has little experience. She knows the thought processes that people are likely to go through and preempts them by explaining a good solution before a person just rushes in and makes rookie, or costly, errors. Very good instruction, well done.
Well, I don’t know what video you all watched!!!! She explained really well how to plumb the right edge and then match the two cut edges. I’ve been papering walls for years in 4 different homes. This IS NOT the way I’ve ever done it. MY NEW ROOM HAS THE BEST CORNERS I’VE EVER DONE! I’m really grateful for this technique and her advice. I’m willing to travel around the world and paper rooms for people now that she has taught me this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I didn't see her explain about plumbing right edge.
@@ajidrtShe does at 8:15
This is easily one of the most accurate and informative videos on this.
I appreciate the video. One thing I do differently is to get rid of some of the excess paper at the top and bottom once I have matched my seam. By doing this, it gets rid of some of the weight, keeping the paper from falling or pulling away. Then I make my final trims at the end.
This is the best method I have tried. Worked wonderfully. Thank you
Excellent tutorial. The best. Thank you for taking the time to show us!!!
As a professional, it’s hard to judge this video as it is aimed at the DIY person. I would have determined the widest point of the left piece and table trimmed it to that width plus 1/8”. I would have been much easier to install without all that sheet hanging on the right side. I then would have used the smoother to trim away anything on the right over 1/8”. This is called a “fat cut”. She basically did that right but I don’t know if a DIY person could have understood the concept by watching this video. Re plumbing the right sheet could be a video onto its self depending on how out of square that corner is. The easiest way to do it is to just throw the sheet up there. Match the pattern at eye level, then gently smooth out the sheet on the right wall. Don’t worry if some of the sheet lips up on the left side as you will trim that later. Once the sheet is smoothed out, use a laser to determine how level your sheet on the right is. Adjust the sheet accordingly. You might have to move your sheet left or right but make sure there is no gap between the right and left sheet even if that means moving the whole right side to the left. Once there are no gaps, smooth out the sheet and trim the top and bottom. Then peel back the left sheet so that you can trim any excess on the right sheet against the drywall and not the left sheet. You will be making a “thin cut” on this sheet meaning you do not want it to lip up on the left wall when you are done. I cut against a metal mud knife for this (as did she). Then peel the right sheet away from the corner enough to reset left sheet back in. Smooth the right sheet back into the corner. If done right, there will be 1/8” of the left sheet tucked under the right sheet along the right side of the corner.
That took forever, for your regular d.i.y person that is frustrating, especially if you have not hung before. there are lots of information that should be spoken about prior to taking on such a task.
As I professional decorator I would never to hang the paper like this . Measure the distance to the wall add a small margin cut and hang then hang remaining plumb and to match
@@mervjames6183 I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me or disagreeing with me, but I basically said the same thing. Maybe I didn't explain it very well.
I didn’t realise that professionals cut the paper! I have to hang some wallpaper in my bathroom around three corners. What’s the best way to do it?
@@rebeccaard1 Assuming you are talking about inside corners, as a general rule, residential wallpaper is trimmed to the inside corner and the remaining sheet is then started on the new wall. This is done because most residential wallpaper will "swell" as the paper absorbs the moisture from the glue (or water in a pre pasted application). This causes the sheet to grow in width. As the glue dries the paper shrinks back to its original width so if you do not have your corner cut and the next sheet installed over a slight overlap (approx 1/8" if you're good) then the corner will pull out and leave a rounded appearance.
Good luck.
tbf shes done a good job, while it may not be the very best method and many people will do their own way... traders lol.. she has done a good job.
now you've seen the difficult way , try just measure from the seam to the inside corner , find widest measurement , lay the sheet on the table folded .
cut to the number, match and hang half the narrow sheet on the left, , now take the other half and easily plumb and hang the other half on the right.
Nice job with the viideo
Thankyou! Attention to using a sharp blade is rightly inforced in this video- you can tear wear paper with what seems like a reasonably sharp blade..
I've learned this the hard way. What I thought was a fairly brand new blade has made a mess of my wallpaper
I love the paper!!
I just got a roll / no label & have no idea what brand or name it is. I would like to get a few more rolls of it. Anyone know ??
説明がわかりやすかったです！ありがとうございます！
You do have a point there
Great job
I like this ladies calmness however I'm now beating my head on my half covered wall due to confusion with her contradictions👯🙆
in corners you measure top and bottom .find widest measure on paper then cut paper allowing half inch for return then other piece goes in other corner . you dont go round interior corners like this .
that's pretty much what she did,
Allow a 16th of an inch to return on the adjacent wall. A 1/2 inch is way too much.
WOW. This was a great video. Thanks very much. One question is when you trimmed the inside corner -at 10:30 of the video, did you cut all the way through, or just the the overlapping paper? I would think you would not want to cut through both.
Table trimming is a Whole lot easier. You take 3 measurements, top, middle and bottom. Fold the material square on the table, make your final measurement, and with a straight edge and a straight blade ,guide your blade against the edge. The table is generally3 or 4 12" x6' boards of smooth pine. Paint store online sells tables, tressels, paper hanging tools. A professional smoothing brush is rare to find anymore unless they have hairs over 1" in length
This video is well explained but the pattern match on the corner is not very accurate
Most walls in most houses are not even, so you can easily have an 1/8 or a 1/4 of an inch that is going to end up crooked, you'd have to cut the piece exactly and then matching the pattern, otherwise it will not match as in the video
'
That's why you do not start in a corner and why a plumbline, or spirit level, are needful items!
Very nice thanks !
Drop pattern cut first lengh.on boards.match second off roll.3rd lengh is same as first.4th lengh is cut same as 2nd and so on
I've never done wallpaper and this tutorial is confusing and way more labor intensive than others I have watched.
Shes only teaching fir the PERFECT CORNER, you still need to get a plumb line/laser line and start close to te center of a wall, (but remember, never start dead center if it leaves a small piece on the ends, fudge a little to get close to full pieces, especially if you are just doing a feature wall.
good jod lady, Have to say though there are easier solutions !!
Not gonna shit on this technique just seems a lengthy process. But end product is great. Well done
you didnt show us how you did the plumb line..
Beautiful work and sooooo easy to follow
Gees , out you wallpapering for life watching this, torture
Think you been watching the b&q video.i think I'd rather have a corner that matches and slightly lifts where the wall isn't perfect than a corner that don't match.it would have been better if you showed a close up of it afterwards but then I guess you wouldn't wanna do that
So true! Where's the closeup of the completed corner?
nice video
thumbs up for 4:50
Was this made in the 60s.
This is not the proper way. I've been a wallcovering contractor for over 30yrs. The proper way is taking exact measurements from last piece to the inside corner. Taking multiple measurements, add 1/8th" to the widest measurement. Cut that measurement with a quality straightedge, after installation of the first piece, install the other piece plumb and alignment to the pattern coming out of inside corner. Maintain the pattern at the same elevation at ceiling line. The reason you don't wrap corners with a pattern, is simply because most corners are not plumb, therefore you start going downhill or uphill. You only wrap corners when it's a random pattern and commercial grade double cut method.
How did you decide where to make the line on the wall? thwe most important thing you didn't show
Whatever you do, don't follow this advice. The paper won't match correctly in the corner and if the corner is badly out there'll be a gap in parts of the corner.
So what’s the advice?
@@rebeccaard1 It's hard to explain, but I'll try. The length before the corner, take the waste off the bottom, which is the correct width. Around eye level stick the waste bit into and around the corner straightly and mark the wall with a pencil at the edge of the paper. Take the waste off and draw a line down from the mark with a spirit level.
Put the piece into the corner like the woman above, then paste a new length. Measure the width into the corner from the spirit level line (measure in different places because it may not be the same from top to bottom)Cut the paper to that width plus an inch for waste. Hang from the line matching up with the pattern in the corner.
I hope you could understand that. Let me know if you're struggling.
ffuter nope I’m lost hahahahahaha.
@@rebeccaard1 Sorry I couldn't help, I'll have to put my own videos up one day.
I am Brazilian and apply wallpaper I really liked your technique I hope you can exchange information about materials with you
Close up please of your corner
If the 2nd wall is like the majority of rooms - out of plumb, don't follow this.
you didnt check to see if the 2nd piece was plumb.
I'VE ALWAYS Said your finger is the BEST TOOL you own.... try it!
I'm pretty sure I could see the wall there at the join!!! haha
This pleases my ocd x
tornandfrail please send me full address of wallpaper manufacturer with rates and availability and quality
I didn't start this wallpaper project in my home.
That would drive me nuts seeing those small peices of white adhesive stuck there for eternity - she wasnt able to get it off at the line, so it looked like a white line
In india at this much of time we install 3 rolls..pls mam.dont mind I make 15 dollar in half hour
What are the things to add for it to be hang
What are you talking about idiot
In a pinch with a corner that is way off square you can give a release cut where the paper is buckling. Maybe only a couple inches maybe more.
Don’t do what she is doing.
Unless the DIY look is what you’re going for
Make sure that right side of the paper is level. Or close to
Be easier to take the measurements and cut on the table
This works if you have a perfect straight cut and leveled wall. Unless you measure the width perfectly every couple of inches down measuring and cutting in advance may not work perfectly. My wall’s corner is NOT a perfect straight so this method that you mentioned will leave some spaces out. The video is very helpful and more for someone who is a perfectionist. Just saying.
As a professional decorator this is NOT THE WAY to do this!!!
How then cause in need help lol
Keep scraping the paper you may scrape the pattern off lol
To much effort ide cut it in the corner and use a fresh piece its that simple, as not all wall are straight.
that's bollocks you cut into corners not paper around them
Absolutly mate
if you follow the new line on the right wall it will NEVER match the pattern!
I give my clients the options of wrapping corners or not explaining the pros and cons
As someone who has been in the trade for over 40 years I find the advice given by this person is very misleading. Never have I seen an internal corner done in this way and she left far to much waste material on at the bottom! You only need a couple of inches otherwise you'll end up needing far more rolls of paper than is necessary.
Kathy Whitaker well if you have never seen it then it must not exist!!
Indeed mate.
Kathy Whitaker Don’t you think she knew that? Why don’t you give her the benefit of the doubt? A repeat was probably 25 cm and she knew that it was not a waste to have access at the bottom since it was going to get thrown out anyway… Why don’t you just chill out and stop being so freaking negative
Not the way to do it. No tradesman would do it like that. Might get away with it using vinyl but not with anything more delicate.
You dont have that much time to spend paper over soaking and no knife would cut paper. It would not give a clean cut measure cut on boards and use sissors
If you found the pattern but the botton had to be cut it will not match at all!
I think she must have shares in the company that makes those blades. I have just papered a whole room using the same blade and it cut as neatly at the end as it did at the beginning. Also I have never cut a corner like that ever. I understood why she did it,but I am sure at close inspection it would look a tad untidy. And for heavens sake why did she have so much overlap on the skirting board. Usual practice is to add a couple of inches at both ends. Other than that,not too bad.
That Wallpaper is Soaked to Shit lol
A “truly professional” inside corner? 99.9% of us would have wet-trimmed and used the corner to relevel.
I Never Cut Corner's ...Mine Look's Good....Practice Makes Perfect Honey.
Amanda A
Never? Never? Then what do you do when your corners are significantly off and your adjacent piece starts running crooked & not plumb
@@spencercolgan good point
How about with foil or grasscloth? or a really light delicate paper that will rip on you if you assert too much pressure?
cutting into corners is for amatuers.lol
This is the real way to do corners.
Dirty Harry yes, but only if you like getting a call from your clients 3 years later asking you to come back in and fix The corners....
That's not the way to do it
That's not how a professional does an interior corner.
Definitely the wrong way
this is so wrong.
americans talk to much!!
Skillet boy It's too much. Sorry it's the teacher in me. Yes they do talk too much though.
Terrible way to do inside corners do not do this
GET TO THE POINT!!!!
Haha what a load of b/s so much wrong it breaks my heart to see this shit
Look at that paper 🤮🤣
Orrible!!!
Terrible job !!!!
If you need worker. I know do this job
