Starting the overhaul of the apartment and the decoration of the room with these wallpaper, the walls of the old paintings are first cleansed. In order for the old canvases to be better removed from the wall, there is a proven tool. You need to prepare a soap solution and pour a little wallpaper glue into it. The resulting solution is applied to the old coating and impregnated for some time. After time, the old wallpaper without much effort is removed from the wall.
When glued on a painted wall, the old paint should be plugged. All existing cracks must be closed with putty. And at the last stage, the prepared wall is primed.

After the cutting of the rolls (which should be performed extremely neatly) and the preparation of the glue follows the stage of pasting the walls in the room itself. The prepared canvases are smeared with glue and remain to be saturated for 5-7 minutes. The prepared wall is also well smeared with glue.
The room usually begins to glue from the window. If the wallpaper has the smallest thickness, then crawling is allowed (not more than 2 cm.) the edges of the paintings on top of each other. If the length of the resulting panel exceeds the length of the wall, then the rest of the canvas is distributed equally to the floor and on the ceiling, and cut only after the wrapping ends. Lastly, the wall is glued over the doorway.
After the wallpaper has dried, they are cut and glue the curbs. They are necessary to hide the upper irregularities.
Drying of the wallpaper should take place gradually and evenly, because at this time not only drafts are prohibited, but also heating the room.
