How to glue wallpapers in the corridor?

You can start to cover the corridor with wallpaper by any door. But then you have to be patient. Despite the fact that hallways are narrow and small in size, there are many small areas where you have to adjust and paste small pieces of wallpaper.

All other rules are similar to those generally accepted:

• Walls are originally prepared. They are cleaned of the old coating. This must be done necessarily.
• Next, wipe the cloths with a slightly damp cloth, in order to clean them from dust and allow them to dry thoroughly.
• For each of the types of wallpaper, special glue is selected. As a rule, the manufacturer indicates the instructions for its preparation on the packaging.
• The adhesive must be applied from the center to the edges.

Important! If you have wallpaper coatings, which can be attributed to heavy, then you should also miss the wall. They stick them to the butt. Only paper wallpaper glued, but for the hallways they are irrelevant.

• Then smooth and level the glued webs from the center to the edges so that no air bubbles remain, as well as adhesive residues.
• Bottom of the wallpaper, which will then be screwed with skirting boards, should be trimmed before the glue dries completely.

Important! After pasting, you need to wait about a day, until the glue completely dry. At this time, it is important to avoid temperature and draft changes in this room.

Try yourself in the role of a designer and do not be afraid to experiment, because this is your home, and who does not like you to be baffled, so that each of its corners was decorated flawlessly.
