Learn how to hang wallpaper around a wall socket like a pro !

pro decorator how to trim wallpaper around a socket or light switch nice and neat
how to wallpaper around a light or wall socket first turn off the power supply, loosen the screws just enough to allow the wallpaper to tuck behind the socket body, apply a small amount of paste around the socket areaas you will be lifting the paper away to trim, hang the paper over the socket loosley and locate the four corners and mark accurately with a pencil then pierce a hole with your pencil between the four marks, carefully cut to the very edge of your pencil mark then pop the socket through the opening you have created use a plastic vinyl smoother to press the paper flush to the edges of the socket then mark the sides with a pencil a few millimetres onto the socket body trim the four pieces of paper off allowing enough paper over to tuck neatly behind the socket body but without too much paper going into the void, smooth flat the area around the socket with your hanging brush ensuring no air bubbles are present, use a seam roller to flatten together the joints and then screw back the socket securely but not too tight as the paper is still wet, remove all paste residue from the socket with a dry cloth or sponge and you are done.

Bang on mate. I leave just a bit more past the line just in case but this is better than some say and disconnect the leccy and socket!!! Take to long that would.

[@boyoboy1968]

It's much faster and gives a BETTER result if you turn off the mains power at the fuse board, remove the sockets and then paper right to the edge of the metal backbox.

[@user-fi8kz3sj1i]

I will apply this good method for my lining wallpaper thx a lot

[@Instone09ine]

Welcome 😊

[@georgecclifford8235]

I cut it to the switch as some wallpspers are embossed and if you pushed the paper behind it would sink into the paper like a button on a cushion

[@Itz-Self]

That’s helpful thanks

[@Instone09ine]

Glad it helped😊

[@kathywhitaker11]

I always cover the socket/switch with masking tape,it saves getting paste in the holes! Also I would never use a pencil to draw around the switch but back of scissors! You never know if you’ve gone to far onto the paper and it could be a costly mistake.

[@justabout6144]

A standard method in the UK to make a mark, just have to have confidence in your ability.

[@CARLIN4737]

Nice job but so slow. Surprised the wallpaper didnt dry out? Remember to wipe paste off the plug socket as well.

[@mattpina9849]

Why not remove the socket first?

[@whoisandrewblack5679]

Ever heard of a razor? Otherwise great information.

[@CARLIN4737]

id have done it quicker with 2 toffee apples balanced on my head whilst juggling 2 tennis balls with my feet and not using scissors but just the power of thought? Nice job.
