"When hanging wallpaper in a room with doors or windows, it's best to start in the least noticeable corner or wall, such as a corner furthest from the entrance. This allows you to make any necessary adjustments or corrections as you work. Additionally, starting in a corner allows you to line up the pattern of the wallpaper without having to worry about matching it at a door or window. If there are multiple walls without doors or windows, choose the one with the least visible seams."

"Hi my personal preference is to hang the first
length of wallpaper against the widow or windows depending how many there are in the room, then work back into the corner.
If there is a chimney brest in the room find
the centre strike a line and work both either side into the corner.

"Hi are you hangjng paper on all walls in the room? If so then you would start at the entrance door & end at the entrance door. Or start at the far corner from the entrance & go left working towards the door. Then go right working towards the door."

"It is recommended to start wallpapering from the corner of the wall. If you're wallpapering an entire room, use your tape measure to measure a line the width of your roll of wallpaper, plus another 2 inches, from the edge of the wall."
