If you ever hung geometric wallpaper, you know that the corners can be a problem. If you watch this video, you will discover whether or not you need to cut your inside corners to your beautiful geometric wallpaper patterns as well.
Never have I seen a corner that was plumb and square enough to roll. Always cut, regardless of the pattern style.
Two reasons:
1) as paper dries in a rolled corner it has a tendency to pull away from the wall in that corner. Worse case is if the house shifts slightly it can misalign the corner causing an obvious wrinkle that now extends from wall to ceiling.
2) The only way to ensure that the pattern is squared on the next wall is to plumb that piece ensuring that you are starting as plumb as possible on the new wall. If the next seam is not straight you have only moved the pattern match problem to an area where it is now more obvious and harder to conceal.
Ceilings run off as do floors so it's imperative that the paper is hung straight or as with patterns matches like geometrics the design will run off into the ceiling or baseboard.
The only exception to cutting a corner is if it returns onto a short wall such as when door trim at that point leaves only 1 - 1/2" of wall.
Also, I would not trim the excess from the top and bottom of the return piece until I had it plumbed on that wall as once it is cut there is no room for correction if that seam is not plumb. Always leave the pattern mismatch in the corner.
I started hanging paper 52 years ago, did it for a living for 35 of those years and once in awhile I still pick up a job through my son who is a Painting/Sheetrock Contractor. I think that with a lot of newer style wallpapers (which are manufactured differently now than the older papers) the thinking in pasting the wall is that it reduces shrinkage which is an issue with pasted papers, especially with overworked seams which can gap open. I realize every hanger has what works best for them and we all have made mistakes - and learned from them. What I've stated here is some of what I've learned over the years - much through trial and error and worked whether I was working for an homeowner or a production contractor.
I totally agree with all of your points and observations. Many times trying to force a rolled corner just creates more issues further down the paper. Plus, I find cut corners tend to look much crisper no matter the paper's design, and can even make a really out of wack corner look perfect to the eye.
Totally agree. I always cut the corner, match the pattern best I can and plum the paper
Always, rounded corners look awful
"i offer counseling for couples who tried to removed they own wallpaper" 🤣🤣🤣
You are the MAN Spencer! I never hanged wallpaper in my life, but after seeing your videos for about 2 weeks now, I definitely feel that I can try it… All the best from Portugal!
Trying to learn how to cut corners, but I have the nightmare scenario of having an old house (so not square corners), and it has a sloped wall/ceiling into the corner. No idea how to get this to not look crap with a blown vinyl paintable wallpaper.
Holy loud intro
Is the outside edge, of that cut sheet, off inside corner, now plum for next sheet?
You are a true professional look! In my answer to your Waze… Yes, absolutely my friend and I’m going to do a follow-up video in a few minutes and post the end result it’s perfectly plumb.
That a perfect teacher.one who learned you not to make the same mistakes they did.
Great tips! greetings from Canada!
you didnt plumb the cut peice round the corner after you cut it..prob a few mill out! after a couple of length pattetern be running all over the place! ...it looks good till you put more paper on oh dear
Frankie, let me explain something please. You said after a couple of length pandering be running all over the place… I wouldn’t say a couple I would say several… And I think you would agree but look at what is to my right of that first piece that you say is not plumb... you are correct however there is a door right there and I made a decision as a professional to keep the pattern intact in the corner and show me the paper into the best plum I can get it and no one has any the wiser… My job is at Wallpaper Hanger is to give the best luck; I am not concerned with how my leaving the pattern intact When I only have three sheets on the wall, one of which is interrupted by a doorway… Then keeping three sheets plum when you cannot notice the difference; look at the end of the video and take a look at the entire job and then you will see the end result of my decision; if I had the pattern running off at the top, I would say, you are correct and I have failed but I have not failed and your remark becomes a superfluous consideration given the fact that it is a small room; your comment would have more weight in an area that had many More sheets of wallpaper that succeeded this corner
Thank you! We couldnt figure it out either! Just set for my mom thanks to you!!! Appreciated!!!
Spencer is reminding me of Christopher Walken!
That’s what I came here to say! The Walken of wallpaper.
That’s all I hear. 😂😂
Funniest part starts around 11:33. Drew some general and important conclusions from several of your videos: 1. don't cut the inner corner if the next wall has only 1 or 2 papers (since only a few papers would be affected due to a crooked corner) 2. avoid cutting wallpapers with a geometrical pattern, it's an irreversible step and it may break the pattern in an ugly way 3. when going around corner: don't put glue on the next wall yet (so you can still make adjustments) 4. assume a straight corner at first and evaluate the result: if you are lucky (test with laser spirit) you can proceed normally else cut it.
You’re a good student.
I'm so glad I came across your wallpapering videos! I'm looking to do a peel & stick paper from York in the next week or so, just to get my feet wet. My homes interior is Southwestern in design and my question involves its rounded or bullnose drywall corners. First, if you don't wish to wallpaper the entire room, where do you stop with the paper? I would think you would stop on the wall that your working on so that you can't see that its papered until you approach it. Second, If you do wallpaper around a bullnose corner onto another wall, do you have to treat differently then you would a normal drywalled corner in its application? And lastly, how do you know where to start in the room?
My answer is long therefore I am asking you if you would give me a call tomorrow, November 6, 2020 and I will explain this to you in detail please call me at the following number: 813-666 Dash 7002
Top man old school

Thanks Rock!
So you're saying to cut corners?
Only when necessary John. And in that case, of cutting the corner doesn’t look horrible, and then John, only with customer approval. In this case John, in this video, The cut does not interfere with the pattern because this was not large triangles or rectangle; I’m sorry I was not more clear in the video; but if the corner does not receive the wallpaper and makes it rounded you know… Like a radial corner, Then you and the customer can talk about perhaps cutting it and losing some of the pattern because a rounded corner doesn’t look good either. John, sometimes we have to tell the customers that are geometric pattern doesn’t always work in some areas please agree on Accent Wall’s but you’re a professional… Wouldn’t you agree that large geometric patterns work better on street was that do not have corners?
lovely video to learn with!
Wow
Any advice on hanging velvet fabric with no substrate? I have a very eccentric client who would like it hung in their office.
What do you mean “no substrate”?
@@spencercolgan the "wall covering" has no backing. just velvet fabric. any ideas to prevent glue seeping thru?
@@joewillemkens7324 sure. Put clear strippable glue on the wall and then wait until it’s not wet but just tacky; make sure it’s not wet and then hang your velvet
@@spencercolgan Thank for the advice!
Awesome as always!
Thank you very much Anthony and thank you for subscribing.
