Preparation of the wall

The color of the wall needs to be as neutral as possible, ideally white, so as not to modify the colors of the wallpaper. In addition, the wall needs to be clean and dry.

Wash your wall with a special wall cleaner, rinse it off then let it dry. On gloss and satin paint, sand down with sandpaper for better glue adhesion. If the wall has never been painted, you can apply a plaster underlayment, 24 hours in advance. This will protect the wall and allow for the removal of the wallpaper without damage.

Pasting

Before pasting the wall, draw a vertical line using a spirit level at the location of the first strip. Prepare the wallpaper paste and spread it directly on the wall with a paste brush.
