For a tropical look, try tropical peel and stick wallpaper or a palm leaf or banana leaf print. Start by peeling off a small section of the backing and sticking it to one corner of the wall. Slowly peel away the rest of the backing as you apply the paper to the wall, smoothing out any bubbles with a soft cloth as you go.

If you want to go with a traditional paste wallpapers, you will need to mix the paste according to the manufacturer’s instructions and apply it to the back of the paper. Again, start in one corner and work your way across the wall, smoothing out any bubbles as you go. Once the paper is up, use a sharp knife or razor blade to trim away any excess.

With either type of wallpaper, it is important to take your time and be careful not to rush. Rushing can cause air bubbles or wrinkles in the paper, which will ruin the look of your room walls.

When initiating a DIY wallpaper project at home or office make sure you worked good enough on the layout. Keep pattern in mind while hanging wallpapers, also make sure they are straight.  Working in one direction around the room will ensure consistency in the pattern. In general, it is best to start the job from behind a door and work out until the least obvious spot in the room is the space above the door. 

Wallpapering Tip: Corners should always be papered with split sheets.

Step2:

First of all unroll the paper and see if there is any pattern defect, misprint or any design issue, so that you can ask the vendor before initiating the project. You should drag the wallpaper across the edge of your worktable to remove curl. 

Measure and cut your wallpaper into four-inch wide sheets. Use 4 inch long sheets to cover your walls. Repeat the cut line, so the patterns line up on adjacent sheets.

WallPapering Tip:  Apply a thin layer of paster on the back side of the paper using a paint roller.

Step3:

The ceiling and corner shall overlap by atleast 2 inches and press it. Once it is done, with the help of smoother press wallpaper from and around corner nicely. You can also use smoother to press the whole sheet but don’t press hard to push out the glue.
