HOW TO PLACE WALLPAPER ON THE CORNERS OF WALLS?
Wallpaper is a great solution for multiple spaces in your home. Placing them is not too complicated, but there comes a point that can be complicated. It is about the corners and corners, where you must pay a little attention and have some skill to make it perfect.
You already know that we are always going to help you with any issue related to wallpaper, so in this case it was no different. Today we are going to talk about how to install our planks in these places, which we will call “corners” when the angle is formed inwards and “corners” when it is formed outwards.
Place wallpaper in corners
We will start by seeing how to wallpaper the interior area of the walls. You already know that you can use wallpaper in children's rooms, in your living room or even in your kitchen; so these tips will help you on many occasions. You should keep in mind that different types of paper may need a little more or less overlap, but now we see it.
The first thing you will have to do is measure the gap that you need to cover, from the last plate to the corner. Then add a couple of centimeters (or between five and eight if it's a thicker paper) and cut a new strip of wallpaper. Start placing it in the same way you have been doing up to this area.
For the crucial moment of the angle, we recommend that you use a special wide wallpaper spatula, or even a long ruler. Press the material well so that it is fixed to the corner. Then, we will also press the remaining two centimeters against the adjacent wall, and this will be our overlap.
Now it's time to place the wallpaper on the other part, which is not too complicated if you are using thin paper. You will only have to take a strip and cover the overlap that we created before, crossing to the other wall and perfectly aligning the patterns so that the result is aesthetic. Remember to use a level or plumb line to make sure it is perfectly straight, as corners are not always straight.
As it is a low-weight wallpaper, the small overlap of two centimeters on each side will not be visible optically. The same does not happen when they are thick papers, which is why we recommend leaving a little more margin and putting into practice the technique called double joint cutting.
Wallpapering corners with overlapping thick papers
When we handle heavy weight, it is interesting to opt for the double joint cut, as it creates an invisible transition from one wall to another. As we have mentioned, align the strips and place them following the pattern correctly, so as not to find any imbalances later.
After this, you will see that the overlap is quite visible, so we need to cut that area where they overlap. Use a cutter or a blade specially designed for double joints, it will be the best tool. With a long ruler or metal profile, create a line in the corner where they intersect and use the utility knife or blade to cut, being careful not to damage the wall.
Then you will only have to remove the strips of wallpaper on both sides of the corner, which should continue to maintain the pattern if it has been done properly. Remove any remaining glue or adhesive paste and it will be perfect.
Place wallpaper in corner
When we find the angle towards the outside, you won't have too many problems if you follow the same advice as before. Make sure you keep the iron straight and arrange the patterns so they follow their course correctly.
The corners are usually straighter than the corners, so you will have an easier time aligning everything. Remember, whenever you are going to use the overlap, leave between 2 and 8 centimeters depending on the technique you use. you want to use.
In this case, the corners have greater visibility than the corners, so we recommend double cutting (especially if you already have some experience). Although thin papers will still look good and this overlap will not be noticeable, heavier papers will have an unsightly result when mounted on top of each other.
