Wallpaper: 3 mistakes you should never make when you change it

3) You take the risk of staining your new wallpaper.

First of all, when you want to redecorate a room, remember to paint the ceiling before laying the paper! Indeed, it is the best way to end up with paint chips on the strips. And it is easier to sand the paint that drips on a wall that you will then want to cover or to remove traces of paint on the new wallpaper. Always avoid stains, keep a clean sponge handy to remove excess glue removed from the tape, which can leave shiny spots on the strips next door.

Latest tips:

• To cover an outgoing corner (raised to the outside), do not cut the wallpaper on the corner for convenience. Indeed, it risks coming off. Prefer to dress the corner of the wall, even very minimal, with the wallpaper.
• And above all, remember to throw the glue and the strips covered with it in recycling centers, because it is very toxic.
