Wallpaper border tips

Question

I've bought a few rolls of border wallpaper to try instead of a dado rail. How do you make sure you stick it on straight? Is there a knack?

Mark · Answer

The easiest way, if to strike a horizontal faint pencil mark, using a spirit level

You should make a level line on your wall with pensil. Then run your first piece of paper along side the level line, then continue on from the first hung piece.

I always use a laser level.  No mistakes.  Bang on every time!

Hi there, using a pencil lightly mark out the height you’d like to install it and from that marking, take a level and carefully mark your straight line lightly in pencil all the way round until you’ve joined the two ends. 
Enjoy!

You should use a tape measure and spirit level and draw a straight line and masking tape it up

Get a ping line and work to it measure up  to height and put a line across using a spirit level is another option

A laser level is perfect for this and I regularly use one when doing borders dado rails etc…. They do vary in price, with some being on the expensive side, but a good investment as it projects a laser line into the surface to line borders etc up to .

Use a spirit level to mark a straight line then the top of your boarder should sit on the line

Most ceilings are not straight so use a tape measure from the ceiling and mark the same measurements on the wall. You can use a level afterwards to make sure it’s straight. 
Use a pencil and mark on the wall where your going to place the wallpaper 😊
