What will affect the progress of work
For an ideal result, without cutting wallpaper at the bend, the angles in the room should be even. In such a situation, all work will consist in processing the walls and wallpaper with an adhesive composition with further gluing.
However, it is very difficult to find a room with perfectly even, geometrically correct characteristics, even if one corner spoils the overall picture.
What will affect the work:
| The evenness of the walls | This indicator is the most important. You must immediately measure the level of the wall and its deviations. After all, it may look even, but as you move from one wall to another, a skew will become noticeable, which will increase from one strip of wallpaper to another. The pattern will begin to shift to the corners, and will look crooked in relation to horizontal surfaces. |
| Wallpaper drawing | If you have a lot of corners in the room, then look over the choice of the coating pattern. After all, no coincidence will affect the appearance of the plane. |
| Grip quality | Always prepare the base with high quality. After all, if this is not done, the wallpaper will not fix well and may lag. |
Possible problems and subtleties when gluing wallpaper on corners
An important point when performing this type of work is the material from which the selected wallpaper was made. Different materials behave differently in the sticker process. And when doing the work with your own hands, you need to know these subtleties.
The instruction in this question will be as follows:
 Paper wallpaper | Without adding auxiliary layers, the most demanding. If you are dealing with them, all actions should be as prompt as possible. The paper web is quickly absorbed by the liquid from the glue, and if you forget about it for a while while working, it will crawl into pieces. |
 Vinyl wallpapers | On the contrary, it is necessary to give enough time after applying the adhesive composition, for better impregnation. But some types of vinyl wallpaper have a fairly thin spraying of the pattern, so you can press them against the wall only with a rubber roller. Do not forget to pay special attention to corners, the adhesion of wallpaper to the wall in these places should be maximum. |
 Non-woven wallpaper | do not require treatment with adhesive on the back. In this case, only the walls are smeared, and the corners are impregnated twice, in order to achieve the highest joint strength. |
Caution: The overlap depends on how dense the material is. For example, if cullet is used, strips adhere the joint in the joint. Even a slight overlap will be noticeable.
How to glue wallpaper on the inner corner
The main goal when wallpapering is to prevent “wrinkles” from appearing in the corners and the wallpaper sheets themselves not to diverge.
So:
- To prevent this, the canvas starts so that a grip of no more than 2 cm is formed on the adjacent wall. In this case, it is necessary to take into account how much the angle is not even, and the stronger the curvature, the more allowance is left.The edge is pressed against the wall with maximum effort. In the case when wrinkles begin to form on the strip, it is necessary to make accurate cuts with scissors, cutting the canvas, heading towards the crease.
- The next step will be the marking, the next strip of wallpaper on the next wall will be superimposed on it. From the allowance of the first strip that entered the second wall, measure the distance of the width of the sheet of wallpaper with a decrease of 5 mm.
- Then, using the level, a vertical line is drawn in this section of the wall. Upon completion of the marking, a subsequent sheet is glued. In order for it to settle perfectly perfectly, a reference is made to the drawn line.
How to glue wallpaper on an external corner
Sticking wallpaper on external corners has its own problems, but avoiding them is quite possible if you act professionally.
Attention: In order for the wallpaper to perfectly lie on the outer corner, the point is determined from which the sheet will go so that its edge rounds the corner by 3 cm.
- The edge of the sheet is pressed against the wall with maximum force. In the case of wrinkles, as well as when working with internal corners, small incisions are made.
- Along the edge of the sheet, you can tear off a thin strip of wallpaper so that only a sophisticated edge remains. This method allows you to make the seam more accurately, and will make the overlap less noticeable.
- After that, using the level, the value equal to the canvas and increased by 0.5 cm is marked from the corner. The next sheet is glued along the received line so that its edge overlaps the torn edge of the previous canvas.
- The junction is squeezed with maximum effort, the upper and lower edges of the wallpaper are trimmed by trimming, after which the sheets are rolled with a rubber roller.
How to paste wallpaper with a picture in the corner
When a pattern with vertically arranged stripes is applied to the wallpaper, the corners will be most visible if it is distorted. And with horizontal lines, violations of the pattern will be seen approaching the floor and ceiling skirting boards.
Avoiding such problems is simple:
- Do not forget to leave an overlap on the next wall;
- hide the resulting joint at the top of the corner;
- glue the wallpaper in the corner of the room so that the edge of the canvas fits perfectly evenly with the line drawn in advance. In this case, the second edge is cut to the edge of the corner.
It is rarely possible to completely avoid the distortion of the picture, minor errors are likely to remain. But only you will know about this shortcoming. Indeed, to detect it, you will have to carefully study all the angles in the room. Subject to all the rules, the wallpaper will be perfectly aligned, and the pattern will not be disturbed.
