How to glue non-woven wallpaper in the corners. Materials and tools, preliminary preparation

In the article you can find the answer to the question of how to glue wallpaper in the corners. It is worth taking the finishing process with all responsibility, irregularities can be striking, thereby spoiling the impression of a freshly made repair.

Step-by-step instructions for gluing inner corners

When finishing, the main problem can be uneven walls and the resulting folds on the wallpaper. It should also be borne in mind that with curved walls, the joints of the wallpaper can diverge.

How to glue the outer corner (outer)?

The protruding corner must be pasted over by analogy with the internal one, however, there are slight differences that must also be taken into account when working.

What to do if the corners are uneven?

Uneven walls are a common problem in old houses. Before you start gluing the finish coating, it is advisable to carry out preparatory work and bring the surfaces “in order”. If visually the corners are even and do not require major repairs, it will be enough to walk with a hard cloth, removing small bumps and dust. If the irregularities are visible to the naked eye, then it is better to do a little work before you start gluing the wallpaper.

Features of gluing meter wallpaper

Wide canvases are convenient in that they allow you to finish with fewer seams on the surface. Gluing them is more difficult, but the result is worth it.

How to join in corners?

It would seem that such a trifle as gluing corners in a room can completely ruin all the work if done incorrectly. And if there is also a pattern on the wallpaper that needs to be customized, then you should approach the finish responsibly.

How to adjust the pattern in the corners?

It is important that the pattern is continuous and even around the entire perimeter of the room. To do this, you need to correctly combine the pattern, and cut off the excess.

1. The strips are also overlapped. Leave an allowance for both walls.
2. With a plastic spatula, the wallpaper is pressed against the corner.
3. After gluing the second canvas, the wallpaper is cut according to the pattern. This method applies to wallpaper with a small pattern. For a large pattern, trimming around the edges may be required.

Before gluing, you must first prepare the material for work by spreading the floor covering and studying the pattern. Segments are cut off after selecting the pattern in height.

Features trimming wallpaper in the corners

In order to get a perfectly even seam in the corner, you need to properly trim the excess.

1. After the wallpaper is pasted to the wall, a flat metal ruler is applied, it can also be a spatula or a rule. To make the cut line even, you can use the level.
2. With a sharp clerical knife, the excess is cut off along the edge of the ruler, after which the top layer of wallpaper will move away.
3. The bottom layer of wallpaper is carefully tucked in and removed, removed in the same way.
4. The canvases are smeared with glue and pressed tightly against the corner. As a result, the coatings fit snugly together.

Gluing wallpaper in the corners is not so difficult, but special care and accuracy is required. Today there is a finishing method that allows you to work without joints at all, namely liquid wallpaper. They are applied in an even layer and do not require such complexities as adjusting the pattern, width, accuracy in rounded places and other nuances.

- the most common type of decorative wall decoration. The technology of the process from the outside does not seem complicated, because even a beginner can apply glue to the wallpaper and stick it to the wall. Therefore, many owners decide to do such work on their own.

A beginner can easily handle wallpapering if the wall surface is sufficiently even and without obvious defects. However, the surface is not always properly prepared and leveled for finishing work. And also, often before lovers the question arises of how to properly glue the wallpaper in the corners. Here it is important to monitor the match of the selected pattern, if it is present. Therefore, in this article we will talk about a special technique for wallpapering in the corners.

Material selection

Wallpaper remains the most popular material for wall decoration in an apartment or office space. They are able to transform the room beyond recognition, hide the flaws of the interior and emphasize the dignity. What you need to know when choosing wallpaper for an apartment:

In the store, modern wallpapers are represented by a wide range of models that differ in texture, color and composition. The rarest type is liquid wallpaper, sold in the form of a ready-made solution in plastic buckets. However, we will consider the more common roll type. There are several types of wall coverings, the most popular of which are:

Each profession has its own tricks, if followed, you can achieve the fastest and highest quality results. Sticking wallpaper in the corners is a laborious process that requires compliance with some nuances:

• The corners in the room should ideally be straight and located strictly along a vertical line. However, often the rooms do not have the correct geometric parameters, so the corners must be aligned.
  
• For curved corners and walls, it is better to choose voluminous canvases made of vinyl or non-woven. The pattern should be uncomplicated, and the shade should be matte. You need to glue such wallpapers in the corners of the room to mask all the flaws.
  
• If you have uneven corners, thin paper sheets, or 3D covers with large, intricate patterns that need to be adjusted all the time, will not work for you.
  
• It is best to start gluing from the window, gluing the very first sheet strictly vertically.
• If your room has even corners, it will be enough for you to process them with putty, masking minor minor irregularities.
  
• Align the corners with the help of special plastic corners, which are easy to find in any hardware store. They are securely attached to the wall with putty.
  
• It is necessary to align the corners at the stage of finishing puttying of the walls.
  
• If you decide to glue paper sheets without using an additional layer, it is worth considering the capriciousness of this material. Gluing must be done quickly so that the paper does not have time to absorb moisture from the glue.
  
• If there are sockets or switches in the gluing area, turn off the electricity in the apartment for the duration of the work. So you will avoid unpleasant situations and undesirable consequences.
  
• Do not glue the corners with a solid canvas. Before starting work, you need to make accurate measurements and cut the wallpaper into strips so that one canvas comes to the next surface by at least 20 centimeters. For example, it is quite difficult to glue non-woven wallpaper even in even corners with a solid canvas.
  
• Do not forget to coat all walls and corners with glue before starting pasting. Glue must be distributed over the entire surface, and in the corners with special care. It is believed that it is in the corners that the wallpaper most often begins to peel off and move away. Using a roller, the adhesive can be easily distributed over the entire area and perfectly prepare the surface for further finishing.
  
• In hard-to-reach places, apply glue with a special brush.

When repairing an apartment with your own hands, wall decoration with wallpaper is the simplest type of work. Minor difficulties arise only when pasting hard-to-reach places: battery, window, door and corner. But if you know simple tricks, then here everything can be done quickly and with high quality. At the same time, the greatest number of secrets lies in the technology of pasting the corner. After all, it can be external and internal - hence the different solutions. To help beginner finishers in this article, we will analyze in detail how to properly glue wallpaper in the corners.

For gluing wallpaper in the corners, you will additionally need the following materials and tools (the main materials and tools for decorating walls with trellises are listed in the work ""):

• plaster putty;
• angle spatula;
• metal profile for the lighthouse (any) 2.5 m long;
• grinder or hacksaw for cutting the profile to the height of the wall to be glued;
• puncher for installing dowels;
• dowels with self-tapping screws;
• Phillips screwdriver or screwdriver.

Corner preparation

When wallpapering corners, it is difficult to ensure that they fit snugly against adjacent walls without wrinkles, air pockets and excessive tension. The joints of adjacent walls are to blame for this. They are either uneven, zigzag if the walls were plastered, or littered if the house is panel.

Therefore, an important task is to align the corners before starting work on decorating the room with wallpaper. Professional builders have several methods for this. The most common are listed below.

Method number 1. To one of the walls is strictly vertical, the control is carried out by a plumb line, a rule is closely applied, and even better - a metal profile. Thus, the most protruding point of the surface of the adjacent wall is found.

An angled spatula is applied closely to the point, and a profile is applied to the spatula. Again, with the help of a plumb line, the profile is brought to a strictly vertical position, after which 3-4 marks are made on the wall for mounting the dowels. Holes for them are drilled with a perforator, after which a profile is attached to the wall with self-tapping screws.

The corner is wetted with water, after which gypsum putty is applied to it. With an angled spatula, pressing against the profile, a perfectly even angle is formed. Excess plaster is removed, the procedure is repeated at the next corner.

After the putty dries, it is processed with zero sandpaper.

Method #2. For this method, you will need a countershultz (plaster corner), which is a metal or plastic corner with a mesh attached to the edges.

It is installed in a corner strictly vertically (a plumb line or a laser level will help) and is attached to the wall with putty applied over the grid. After complete drying, the putty layer is polished with a special mesh or sandpaper.

The above methods of aligning the corners allow you to solve any violations of the geometry of the joints of adjacent walls.

How to wrap corners

When working with wallpaper, novice finishers will definitely meet with pasting of internal corners and, possibly, external ones. The methods of pasting them are different, regardless of whether paper, vinyl or non-woven type of trellis is used.

Attention: in this section we are talking about plain wallpaper that does not require color matching. How to stick wallpaper in the corners of a room with a pattern will be discussed at the end of the work.

So, how to glue wallpaper in the corners?

outdoor

In apartments of modern construction, there are practically no external corners that need to be pasted over. The exception is window slopes, but they are usually painted, not glued. If, nevertheless, you have to glue the outer corner, then below we will provide instructions on how to glue wallpaper in the corners of the room in this case.

The step-by-step algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. We measure the width of the glued sheet so that it goes around the corner by only 3-5 cm and cut it with scissors (a construction knife);
2. We smear the trellis with wallpaper glue and let it soak for 5-10 minutes;
3. We glue wallpaper to the wall using standard technology;
4. After excess glue and air bubbles are removed from under the main sheet, we wrap its strip on the other side of the corner and glue it. If problems arise: folds form or the canvas cannot fully adhere to the wall, we make cuts in problem areas;
5. Stepping back from the edge of the corner by 5-7 mm, using a plumb line and a pencil, we draw a vertical line;
6. We prepare the following sheet for gluing: cut it to size in length and width, if it is a window slope, or take a whole sheet of wallpaper, if work continues along the wall, spread it with glue and give time to impregnate the base of the mites with a mass;
7. We glue the sheet overlapping on a strip of wallpaper strictly along a vertical line so that subsequent sheets are glued evenly;
8. If the seam is noticeable, then with the help of a long metal ruler, and preferably a profile for lighthouses, we cut both sheets of wallpaper with one knife cut;
9. Remove cut strips
10. We process the resulting joint with a narrow roller until the seam closes.

Internal

When pasting the inner corner, the last strip of wallpaper should capture the adjacent wall by 2-3 cm. To do this, it is sized in width - measured, and the excess part is cut off. After gluing it, a vertical line is drawn on the strip at a distance of 4-5 mm from the corner.

For this, a plumb line and a pencil are used. The next wallpaper sheet is overlapped, strictly along a vertical line. If the seam is barely visible, this completes the pasting of the corner. Otherwise, an incision is made that allows you to remove the parts of the wallpaper pasted on top of each other and form a butt seam.

Note that the use of wide, meter-long wallpapers reduces the number of seams, which speeds up the entire technological process, but greatly complicates work in the corners.

How to dock wallpaper with a pattern

With a relatively small blockage of the wall, a deviation from the vertical of up to 2 cm, it is possible to dock wallpaper with a clear geometric pattern so that the seam can only be detected as a result of a careful study of the pasted wall.

We note right away that a shift in the pattern is possible, but very slight, and therefore hardly noticeable, if everything is done in accordance with the instructions.

1. A cut sheet of tapestries is taken, docked according to the pattern with the last pasted wallpaper, and spread on the floor face up.
2. A tape measure measures the distance from the edge of the last sheet to the corner at the top and bottom of the wall. For example, at the top the width of the unglued space will be 23 cm, at the bottom - 21 cm.
3. The results of measurements are transferred to a spread sheet of wallpaper. We mark the control points with a pencil or slightly cut with scissors. The main thing here is not to confuse the top with the bottom.
4. Add another 5-6 cm to 23 cm and cut off a piece of wallpaper 28-29 cm wide.
5. We impose a whole canvas of tapestries on the cut sheet and join it according to the drawing so that the point of 21 cm overlaps (this is the point, otherwise nothing will work).
6. We cut the wallpaper along the length and cut out that part of them that overlapped the mark (it is not necessary to cut it, you can not smear it with glue, which is a little more difficult).
7. We turn the first sheet over, spread it with wallpaper paste.
8. We glue the sheet on the wall end-to-end with the last canvas, carefully working through the seam first, and then the corner. You need to glue the overlap last. In this case, the formation of folds should not be allowed.
9. We retreat from the corner to the width of the next sheet of wallpaper and draw several vertical lines with a pencil along the plumb line at a distance of 0.5 cm from each other.
10. We glue the next sheet of wallpaper with glue and fold it so that the wallpaper is saturated with mites.
11. After impregnating the sheet, open the top and glue the canvas so that the pattern in the center of the wall matches perfectly. Focusing on the vertical lines, we glue the wallpaper along the entire length from the side farthest from the corner. Smoothing must be carried out towards the corner.
12. With the help of a metal profile and a construction knife, we cut both sheets of wallpaper at the same time (the cut must pass along the overlapped tapestries).
13. We remove the cut off strips of the bottom and top sheet.
14. We process the resulting joint with a narrow roller.

For reference: wallpapers with different patterns do not need to be joined. They are glued according to a simplified scheme.

There is nothing complicated in the materials that answer the question of how to properly glue wallpaper in the corners of a room. You can easily do the work yourself.

Other nuances of pasting corners

Every master in any field of activity always has his own little secrets. Wallpapering corners is no exception. It also has its own secrets.

• With significant deviations of the wall from the vertical, more than 2 cm, you should buy wallpaper without a pattern or with a pattern that does not require careful adjustment - a crooked angle will warp the ornament and spoil the effect of the repair.
• The corners must be primed to enhance the adhesion of the wallpaper paste to the wall - the backlog of the tapestries begins, as a rule, in the corners. If the primer was not applied over the entire surface of the walls, then instead of primer in the corners, you can use water-based paint or wallpaper glue, which is smeared 4-5 hours before the start of work.
• Glue in the corners must be applied only with a brush - the roller allows gaps (does not coat the entire surface), which will negatively affect the quality of pasting.
• Before gluing the main panel, it is desirable to glue the corner with a strip of wallpaper 10 cm wide (the recommendation applies to smooth wallpaper). This will hide the open seam and strengthen the trellis from tearing. Instead of a paper strip, professionals often use the "Spider Web" painting fiberglass.
• For heavy or thick wallpaper in the corners, you must use a special transparent glue.
• Non-woven wallpaper most effectively hides uneven corners.
• When wrinkles are formed, while smoothing a strip of wallpaper that has entered the other side of the wall, the spade must be cut with a herringbone, which will allow it to be leveled. The overlapped next sheet will hide the cuts made.
• Ironing the tapestries in the corners is carried out until the air cavities disappear - the wallpaper sheet should fit snugly against the wall, and not hang in the air.
• After removing the scraps formed after cutting the seam, the edges of the sheets are carefully removed from the wall with a metal spatula and smeared with glue. If this is not done, the edge of the wallpaper, under which the cut strip was located, will definitely fall behind - almost all the adhesive mass is removed with the strip.

Many people who decide to make repairs in an apartment or house with their own hands believe that high-quality wallpapering will not be difficult for them. Yes, to some extent this finishing material is quite practical, but only on flat sections of the walls, which cannot be said about the corners. And how to glue wallpaper in the corners? This is the question faced by people who have started repairs without professional help.

It is in the corners that gluing is a laborious process, which makes it difficult and calls into question the quick completion of the repair. So you should approach this issue with all seriousness and study with scrupulousness all the nuances of such an operation, because poor wallpapering in the corners can generally ruin the whole look.

How to glue wallpaper in the corners

Wallpaper is and remains the most popular material for finishing any kind of premises, whether it is a room in an apartment, an office, or a beauty salon. The quality of the wallpaper varies, and you can meet absolutely every taste, color scheme and cost.

Sometimes cheap nondescript wallpapers transform a room so much that they seem almost as good as expensive ones, that is, now the range of wallpapers on the construction market is different, and there is a high-quality and at the same time cheap material - two in one.

Today, in order to paste wallpaper, you do not need to have professional skills, but you need to know the pasting system. The walls must first be aligned along the perimeter, in the corners, and from here problems begin for non-professionals.

Wallpapering in the corner

It is not recommended to glue a single strip of material. In the presence of uneven corners, the strip lies in folds and does not converge with the other. We recommend leaving a protrusion around the corner by 1.5 or 2 centimeters and then the strip will lie flat. Having chosen a wallpaper with a high density, use a plumb line. Glue part of the cut wallpaper with a small overlap on the adjacent wall so that it is as vertical as possible.

If there are switches, sockets in places of corners or in proximity to them, before gluing and any construction work, turn off the electricity supply and remove the covers. Fully stick the material on the convex parts, and only then carefully cut it out by making small cuts.

When starting to paste over the wall near the door, it is important to know that the strip of wallpaper must be cut vertically before the beginning of the frame. Then it is attached along the edge of the wall. Wallpaper protrusions should be cut off.

Non-woven wallpaper - how to glue wallpaper in the corner

Wall preparation

Wallpapering should be carried out in accordance with the existing technology, observing the sequence of processes, which applies not only to the corners, but in general to the entire procedure for pasting walls with flashing.

List of the sequence of stages of finishing work for wallpapering:

1. Clean the walls of oil paint;
2. If there is whitewash, then clean it off;
3. Remove deep irregularities, especially in corners;
4. Carry out the preparatory work. Surface primer.

It is better to prime the surface with professional tools that are sold in containers of various prices, but can also be primed with diluted glue, but not particularly welcome. A special roller or a wide brush will help you prime the surface. Due to the fact that pasting in the corners is especially difficult, there is such a nuisance as a pattern shift. On the walls, the geometry of the drawing was preserved, but in the corners everything went wrong and now spoils the general background. Therefore, most responsibly approach the inspection of the corners, whether there are irregularities, eliminate them if any.

Preparing walls for wallpapering

Stage alignment of the corners of the wall

After you have pasted over all the smooth surfaces of the walls, you have to move on to the corners. Now inspect, and noticing irregularities, proceed to grinding - carefully puttying. After the putty is completely dry, it is necessary to clean the entire surface with sandpaper to achieve a perfect smooth surface so that the wallpaper does not peel off in the future.

Now the corners need to be coated with a primer. If you do not have the skill of puttying, then there is a way out, just buy the same type of wallpaper, or with a simple pattern that does not require further joining (paper). So part of the question of how to glue wallpaper in the corners can be considered disclosed.

The stage of applying glue in the corners

After leveling the surfaces in the corners, we proceed to the application of glue, it must be distributed with all care along the height of the walls, and in the corners most conscientiously, because in these places the wallpaper is most often peeled off. With a roller, we distribute the glue along the entire length and with a brush in hard-to-reach places.

Applying glue to wallpaper and walls

How to glue wallpaper in the corners

Finally, we moved on to the important part of the issue of gluing in the corners. The pros of this business recommend gluing a piece of canvas in the corners, even if the whole piece is perfectly straight. This can be explained by the fact that there is a high probability of distortions in the corners, and the subsequent sheet does not fit at all, and after drying, folds can be found. Room decorating professionals advise to cut wallpaper canvases so that the side side goes to the next wall by 50 mm. Below is a picture of wallpapering in the outer and inner corners.

Did you know: a nuisance for beginners in this matter is the curvature of the gluing areas. Such a defect in the surface of the eyes cannot always be detected, so a list of tools will come to the rescue: a plumb line and the same building level. They measure the corners before wallpapering.

If there is a quite serious "blockage", then it is better to come to the method of "cutting" in these places. This method is used for thick wallpaper - vinyl.
According to this method, the material is passed 50 mm to the adjacent wall around the corner, and the next sheet is glued with an overlap.
The next step: in the middle of the corner, a vertical cut is made through two layers of wallpaper with a special construction knife under the level or ruler in the direction from top to bottom.

The scheme of wallpapering in the corners

During the whole process, the iron ruler must fit snugly against the corner and be pressed strongly so that there is not the slightest movement. Otherwise, a shift along the cut sheet is provided. Masters recommend using a long metal ruler, a building level, which has more weight and produces a wonderful press that interferes with movement.

We glue wallpaper in the inner corners

To avoid the appearance of wrinkles in the inner corners, these canvases should be divided into two parts before wallpapering. The first step is to stick the material to the corner of the room, then you need to accurately measure the distance from the last piece of wallpaper pasted to the corner bend, and add 10-12 mm to the resulting figure. Next, one prepared part is glued to the wall with a cut edge at an adjacent corner. Adjust the edges as usual, be it top or bottom.
Now, using a brush or rag, press the wallpaper into the inner corner of the room. If irregularities occur, such as warping of the material, then take a special knife and make cuts, while pressing the wallpaper into the wall. Then glue the next part with an overlap on the glued material, pushing it tightly against the wall with a brush. Finally, cut off the remains at the bend with the same knife.

Tip: If your corner inner and middle parts have small bulges, and the bottom is littered a little inward, it is better to press the cut edges with an overlap. When pasting a room with thick (vinyl) wallpaper, the best option is to use glue with a transparent base at the junctions, such glue is suitable for dense materials.

Methodology for pasting the outer corners of the room

Gluing the outer corners of the room requires pre-calculating the length of the wallpaper, and so that the canvas is not only enough, but it can go around the convex part of the wall from 21 to 25 mm. When gluing dense quality wallpaper, be sure to make light cuts to smoothly lay the strip.

How to glue wallpaper in the corners correctly

So, on dense wallpaper, using an iron ruler and scissors, excess strips of material are cut off, leaving a minimum of an edge, the visibility of which will not be visible under the subsequent canvas. On top of everything, a subsequent strip is glued with an overlap of 5-6 mm. If you have chosen smooth wallpapers, then immediately iron them with a roller, and with a convex pattern, voluminous ones can be very slightly passed with a rag.

Wallpapering with a pattern in the corners

The vertical pattern of the wallpaper makes it difficult to stick in the corners, because in these places distortions are especially noticeable. A pattern with a horizontal position is no exception, for example, after gluing it can be completely skewed. To avoid such incidents, it is necessary to make a small overlap on the wall in the neighborhood and hide the joint at the top of the corner.

Tip: the difficulty of wallpapering corners is to follow the rule - the edge lay flat on a plumb line, and the other should be cut along the edge of the corner.

It is not possible for a non-professional to glue wallpaper and at the same time without pattern shifts without experience. The main thing is to make it less noticeable using the instructions provided above.

Repairing an apartment, house or office takes a lot of time and effort, as well as money, if you decide to turn to hired workers for help. But thanks to the instructions given to you above and following them exactly, you will be able to start finishing on your own, paying attention and time to studying wallpapering in the corners. Pay attention to the presence of defects, whether your walls are even, and carry out preparatory work to eliminate irregularities. In addition, radiators and pipes often pass in the corners, interfering with the pasting process, turning repairs into a hassle.

If you approach this task responsibly, taking into account all the recommendations and rules, then you will expect quite a wonderful result, no worse than if the gluing was carried out by a professional team of craftsmen. By doing the finishing work with your own hands, you will save a lot of money. Good luck, and have a good completion of repairs in your home!

How to glue wallpaper in the corner - video review

The technology of pasting corners with wallpaper is complicated only at first glance. Pasting the walls with wallpaper will help create a cozy homely atmosphere in the kitchen. Thanks to modern developments, this finishing material, and in particular non-woven wallpaper, can compete with plastic in terms of strength and durability. At the same time, they are more environmentally friendly, allow air to circulate and are easier to work with. The only thing you have to tinker with is to figure out how to glue the wallpaper in the corners.

Choosing the right wallpaper for the kitchen

Properly selected wallpaper is already half the success. Having saved on quality, you can lose a lot in durability, and you will have to do repairs again in a year or two.

Non-woven wallpaper - one of the best options for the kitchen

Non-woven bases are more convenient when it becomes necessary to change the wallpaper. To do this, you just need to remove the vinyl layer, and the new canvas can be glued onto the old finish.

Consider what types of wallpaper are, and whether it is possible to glue the kitchen with them:

• paper wallpaper- not suitable for the kitchen. Under conditions of temperature extremes, high humidity or dryness, the paper deteriorates, and the pattern burns out. Having decorated the kitchen with paper wallpaper, in such a microclimate one cannot count on their long service life.
• Vinyl on paper backing- more durable material. They can be washed and glued for painting. Such wallpapers do not fade under the rays of the sun and are resistant to moisture. The gluing technology is the same as paper. But since vinyl makes the canvas heavier, glue is chosen for heavy wallpaper. Also keep in mind that not all vinyl flooring is breathable.
• Vinyl on non-woven base- are highly durable due to interlining as a lining. No need to be afraid that they will tear or shrink. Such wallpapers are glued end-to-end. Due to the fact that the adhesive is applied only to the wall, during the repair process, forces are saved and time is saved.
• Non-woven wallpaper- due to its dense structure, it perfectly masks irregularities and cracks. They pass air well, without turning the kitchen into a "greenhouse". Perfectly suited as a base for painting. In the process of gluing, they do not stretch or tear. Easy to care for, they can be washed and vacuumed.

Necessary materials and tools

To properly paste the wallpaper and not be caught off guard by the lack of necessary tools in the process, check that you have everything you need before repairing.

You will need:

• wallpaper,
• glue,
• mounting knife,
• scissors,
• putty knife,
• plaster,
• building level,
• plumb line,
• sponge,
• rubber roller,
• ruler,
• pencil,
• brush.

Subtleties of wallpapering corners

Wallpapering is a simple matter, but it also has its own subtleties. As a rule, difficulties arise if you do not know how to glue wallpaper in the corners. When at least one corner turns out to be crooked, as the wall is glued along, there will be an increasing skew of the canvas relative to the floor surface and kitchen windows or the ceiling.

You should not focus on the doorway as the starting point for wallpapering the walls. Check with a plumb line whether it is really perpendicular to the floor. It is highly likely that the frames are also installed with an error, which will lead to skew, and the corner will be swollen.

The tradition of starting wall decoration with wallpaper from door and window openings originates from the need to overlap paper wallpaper so that the latter is less noticeable. With the advent of vinyl and non-woven materials, such a need has disappeared, since the canvas is glued end-to-end.

Smooth corners are much easier to glue than curved corners.

For large irregularities, some tricks will help

Before you start working with wallpaper, it would be correct to level each corner with plaster with a building level. Minor irregularities can be dealt with with a slight overlap or by cutting off an extra piece of canvas.

Wallpapering inside corners

A corner properly pasted over with wallpaper does not wrinkle, the edges of the canvases do not diverge, forming a gap. To achieve such a neat repair, resort to some tricks.

For this:

1. A layer of glue is applied to the wall. If the wallpaper is non-woven, no glue is required on their back side.
2. The edge of the canvas is brought to the adjacent wall with an allowance of 1-2 cm.
3. The wallpaper is pressed tightly against the wall with a sponge. If the canvas wrinkles, scissors make notches towards the swelling and straighten the material.
4. After that, they begin to cut the canvas, which will lie in the corner from above. With the help of a ruler and a pencil on the reverse side, they put off in a mirror image the overlap that has entered the adjacent wall, and cut off this excess.
5. The cut canvas is glued so that the cut edge is exactly in the corner.

Wallpapering outside corners

Often the design of the kitchen is made in such a way that in the doorways it is necessary to paste over the protruding outer corner.

Pasting the corners with wallpaper is not an easy task with a large curvature of the walls

For this:

1. Measure from the top and bottom wallpaper reference points to the corner plus 3 cm to wrap around.
2. Cut out the wallpaper to the required size.
3. Apply glue to the walls with a brush.
4. The edges are pressed tightly against the wall, making cuts where wrinkles form.
5. If pasting is done with non-woven material, the top layer is cut along the corner, and the narrow strip is carefully removed.
6. A new sheet on the adjacent wall on the other side of the corner is glued over the non-woven edge.
7. At the joints are passed with a rubber roller.

That's all the tricks on how to glue wallpaper in the corners. Knowing these subtleties, difficulties with the design of the kitchen should not arise. Such simple solutions will help create a cozy kitchen interior.
