Learn why people trust wikiHow. Part 1. Choose a thicker grade of lining paper for walls with more imperfections. Lining paper comes in grades, or thicknesses, from The higher the grade, the thicker the lining paper. Use grade lining paper if you are not sure what grade you need, as this will cover most average imperfections.
Divide the height of the room by the width of the lining paper. Lining paper comes in rolls of various lengths and widths. Measure the height of the walls and divide this by the width of the rolls you plan on using.
Multiply the number you got by the perimeter of the room. Measure the total perimeter of the room including doors and windows. Multiply this number by the last number you got.
Then, you'd multiply 3. Divide this number by the length of the lining paper roll. Check how long the rolls of lining paper you plan on using are. Divide the last number you got by the length to determine how many rolls you need to cover the room. So, if you were using rolls that are 11 m 36 ft long, you'd divide 48 by 11 to get 4. Therefore, you'd need to buy 5 rolls of lining paper in order to cover the whole room.
Part 2. Roll out a roll of lining paper on a pasting table. A pasting table is a folding table designed specifically for cutting and pasting things like wallpaper. Roll out your first roll of lining paper on the board to prepare to measure and cut it. Mark a section as long as the height of the wall plus a little extra for trimming.
Use a tape measure to get the height of the wall again if you need to. Add 2—3 in 5. Use a pencil to make a line for the first section on the lining paper. Use wallpaper scissors or a trimming wheel to cut the lining paper. Make sure the lining paper is flat against the pasting table. Cut carefully along the mark you made to get your first section of lining paper. Repeat the process to get as many sections as you can out of a roll. Video of WY-ehdT4Tx0. Before starting, you must make sure the wall is completely clean, dry, and smooth.
Measure the height and width of the wall. Add an additional two inches around the wallpaper for cutting. Hanging instructions are usually printed on the first roll of paper and should be carefully read.
Cut each strip where indicated and line them in the correct order. To make sure the first strip is hung perfectly straight, you must mark the end of the strip and draw a straight vertical line down the wall, which is slightly wider than the strip. Paste carefully in corners and around the perimeter on the wall so that no places are missed. Once you have established the measurement at the top of the wall, move along the wall and repeat the measurement at regular points and mark with a pencil.
Use a long spirit level to draw a level horizontal guideline between the marks. Draw the line across the wall and onto any adjoining walls that are to be lined. With the start guide marked, next you need to know how long to cut your pieces of lining paper. These steps guide you through measuring and cutting your lining paper to the right length. Measure the wall width in millimetres mm from the edge of the wall across to the other side using a tape measure.
Add mm to that measurement to allow for the lining paper to go around the corners onto the adjacent walls 50mm on each side. The excess will be trimmed off later. Roll the lining paper onto the pasting table. Transfer the wall measurement onto the lining paper. Make a crease in the paper at the measurement to make it easier to cut with wallpaper scissors or a trimming wheel.
Cut enough lengths to line one wall at a time. Roll the first cut length out onto the pasting table. Apply the adhesive to the back of the lining paper with a pasting brush. To avoid getting adhesive onto the front face of the lining paper or on the pasting table, position the lining paper face down.
Make sure you have one long edge flush against the edge of the pasting table. When the first half is done, line up the opposite edge of the paper with the other side of the paste table and paste outwards from the centre again. Fold the paper into a concertina fold as you go loosely folded over onto itself, you can then carry on pasting the rest of the length. Allow the adhesive to soak into the paper for as long as the manufacturer recommends on the adhesive instructions.
The paper needs time to expand before it is hung. This process is known as soaking and it helps to prevent bubbles appearing as the paper continues to expand on the wall. In the meantime, paste more lengths of lining paper. If there is adhesive on the pasting table, wipe it down with a damp sponge after every cut length is pasted.
This is so you don't get adhesive onto the front of the lining paper. From the top of your start guideline, smooth the first section of lining paper onto the wall, allowing for the 50mm overlaps onto the adjacent wall.
You will also have excess lining paper that overlaps onto the ceiling — how much depends on your calculations based on the wall size. These overlaps will be trimmed off. Open up the folds one at a time and smooth the paper down with a wallpaper smoother to remove any bubbles or creases.
Work out from the centre of each section to each edge. Use a seam roller to make sure the edges are firmly stuck down and add more adhesive if necessary. Use the wallpaper smoother to push the lining paper into the internal wall joins to create a crease. Make an angled cut in the paper to help avoid bubbles or tears as you push it into the corners.
Peel back the paper and cut along the crease with wallpaper scissors. The key is not to overlap the paper in the corners as this will form a ridge which will show through when the wallpaper is hung over the top.
Instead, when cut, the two lengths of lining paper will butt up neatly together in the corner. Cut the excess paper off at either end. When you hang it, line up the top edge so it is flush with the bottom edge of the lining paper above it and smooth it down. Then, slide the edges apart by about 1mm. This will prevent the lining paper join from buckling and becoming visible as it expands when the wallpaper is hung on top.
Crease and trim the ends as before and repeat the process for the rest of the wall. When you reach obstacles like doors, windows, a plug socket or you need to tackle external corners. See How to hang wallpaper for more detailed step-by-step instructions as the principles and techniques are very similar. As with the ceiling junction, use the back of scissors to make a cutting crease between the wall and skirting board.
Alternatively, use a wallpaper cutting guide to cut the bottom of the lining paper. Hold the guide against the skirting board tucking the paper into the crease of the guide, trim off the excess paper with a sharp utility knife. Allow at least 24 hours or longer if the room is cold or damp for the paste to dry before you paint over or hang wallpaper over the top. If you paint or wallpaper before the paste has dried, the lining paper may come off the wall or blister.
There may be noticeable gaps between the strips of lining paper after it has been hung and the paste has dried. If so, use a flexible filler and a filling knife to fill the gap. If necessary, allow the filler to dry out fully before sanding flat with an 80 grit or medium grade sandpaper and a sanding block. If any lining paper has overlapped after the paste has dried, carefully remove the excess paper with a sharp utility knife and long metal rule.
As with walls, it is important to get the first length of paper straight. These steps will outline how to hang lining paper on your ceiling using a chalk line as a guide to hanging it straight.
If the lining paper on a ceiling is to be painted - start papering along a wall that is at right angles to the window wall as per image. This way, if the joins overlap slightly they will not cast shadows. If the room has windows on two walls - you may not be able to avoid some shadows.
So hang the paper across the narrowest part of the ceiling, as this will be the easiest option. If the ceiling lining paper is to be wallpapered over - hang the lining paper so it runs parallel with the window. This will mean that the wallpaper will be hung at right angles to the lining paper and the window wall.
