In rooms full of awkward corners and recesses, pick a paper with a random, busy design which the eye doesn’t try to follow. This will help disguise the fact that a corner is out of square, or a ceiling is sloping. <\/p>\n
MEASURING AT CORNERS
\nWhen you are measuring for the width of 1 paper required to fill a corner gap:
\n\u2022 measure from the last full fixed length to the corner at the top, middle and bottom of the gap
\n\u2022 take the largest measurement; for an internal corner add 12mm and for an external corner 25mm (1 in) to give you the width to cut from the next length
\n\u2022 the offcut left is used on the ‘new wall’ and overlaps the 12mm or 25mm (1 in) strip turned round the corner. <\/p>\n
TIP: TURN NARROW STRIPS
\nNever try to take a lot of paper round a corner. If you do, you will end up with it badly creased into the angle of the corner, and the part that is taken onto the ‘new wall’ will be completely askew.<\/p>\n
AVOID OBVIOUS JOINS
\nOn an external corner the overlap of the 1 edges of the two strips of paper which cover the corner should be positioned where they will be least obvious (eg, on a chimney breast it is better to make the overlap on the side wall rather than have it on the wall facing into the room). <\/p>\n
PAPERING ROUND A DOORWAY
\n Ideally, you’ll use the minimum of paper if you centre a full-width strip of paper over the door opening. Where the door is close to a corner, fit a narrow strip above the doorway. Pattern discontinuity will be least 1 noticed in between two full strips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
