How to Install Wallpaper on a Wall: Step-by-Step Guide

Wallpaper is a powerful design element that adds character, texture, and depth to any interior. When installed correctly, it creates a seamless and long-lasting finish that enhances both residential and commercial spaces.

At our studio, we offer theme-based wallpaper catalogs designed to suit different interior styles—making proper installation essential to achieve the best visual results.


Step 1: Choose the Right Wallpaper

Select wallpaper based on the space and design intent:

  • Stripe-based wallpapers to add height and structure
  • Textured wallpapers for a subtle, elegant finish
  • Panel wallpapers for feature or statement walls
  • Repeat pattern designs for full-wall applications

Measure the wall accurately and order 10–15% extra material for alignment and wastage.


Step 2: Prepare the Wall Surface

Wall preparation is the most important step for a flawless finish:

  • Clean the wall and remove dust or grease
  • Fill cracks and smooth the surface with sanding
  • Apply wall primer or sealer
  • Ensure the wall is dry and even

Avoid installing wallpaper on damp walls or freshly painted surfaces.


Step 3: Tools Required

  • Wallpaper adhesive
  • Measuring tape and cutter
  • Spirit level or plumb line
  • Roller or wallpaper brush
  • Smooth spatula or squeegee
  • Clean cloth or sponge

Step 4: Mark Alignment Lines

Use a spirit level to draw a straight vertical guideline. This ensures proper alignment, especially for striped or patterned wallpapers.


Step 5: Apply Adhesive

Apply adhesive evenly on the wall or wallpaper backing as recommended. Avoid excess glue to prevent bubbles or stains.


Step 6: Install the Wallpaper

  • Start from the top and align with the guideline
  • Smooth out air bubbles from the center outward
  • Match patterns carefully for repeat designs
  • Trim excess wallpaper neatly at edges

Install panel wallpapers sequentially for a clean and balanced look.


Step 7: Drying & Final Finish

Wipe off excess adhesive immediately. Allow the wallpaper to dry naturally for 24–48 hours without disturbance.


Wallpaper Care Tips

  • Clean gently using a soft cloth
  • Avoid excessive moisture
  • Maintain proper ventilation

Conclusion

Wallpaper installation plays a crucial role in achieving a premium interior finish. With proper preparation and precise application, wallpaper enhances spaces beautifully. Our theme-based wallpaper catalogs are designed to complement a wide range of interior styles—ensuring timeless appeal when installed with care.
