Wallpaper Around Windows

[jimmy2minutes]

in britain most of the houses are 100 years old plus, so had movement over the years, it makes wallpaper hanging a nightmare, nothing is ever straight forward .so most people choose to just paint them. so like in our house what we do is just have a massive arguement all the way through it as we paper. simple!

great video. however... how do u paper an internal window with a drop match? have i no option but to loose the pattern and patch the sides and top? a video would be great!! i didnt even get that at college!!x

When people say, you start wallpapering centrally for a feature wall, but at a corner and away from the source of light for other walls, then consider this dilemma. If I want to wallpaper the wall that has a central window, either corner of that wall would be going away from the light. So where do I start? Also, would it be best to start centrally at the window frame, and go outwards and away from the light either side? If I'm not making sense, please get back to me so I can try again. Thanks!

It makes no difference where you start. At each corner the paper is sliced top to bottom, and the piece that wraps to the next wall butts into the corner overlapping the other piece. You have no more than 1/4 inch of paper under the overlap. I'll do a video about that in a few months as I have a wallpaper job coming up.

[swcoast]

That would be awesome. I will most likely have to start before then though, so can I jsut ask, is there any way I could send you a picture to explain the sequence I would do it in?

[AsktheBuilder]

No, don't send a photo. I just explained it. You start your wallpaper wherever you want on any wall. You should go to my AsktheBuilder website and read every wallpaper column I've written. I have instructions there.

[fergadocious]

Askthebuilder - is there a home wallpaper kit that I could pick up at like Home Depot? Or do I need to buy all these tools separately ? just wondering

[AsktheBuilder]

possibly....

i rarely find a straght line. ever on british houses.

[hudders128]

there are variables here. you could still end up off target.

[AsktheBuilder]

And those variables would be??? You know you can't make a statement like that without telling all what they are.

[hudders128]

the amount of paste, the consistancy of paste from sheet to sheet, the time the paper is left to cure, all effect the amount that it swells by. maybe you should have mentioned that. for the lay people.

[AsktheBuilder]

That's all covered in other wallpaper videos of mine. Remember, you have a YouTube channel. If you think you can create a more informative video showing all the things you feel should be on a video, I urge you to do it.

[ImOneCrazyFucker]

Yank windows, uh. So much simpler than British window frames.
