Wanna Hang with Us?

Brought to you by House of Hackney

So, what is it you want to see around you: a garden of painterly blooms? A fairytale landscape roamed by dragons? Or perhaps a serene forest of bamboo? Whatever it may be, we’re here to help you create your own wonderwalls. Simply follow along with the step-by-step guide or instructional video, et voila! A flawless finish all by yourself.

1. Even Things Out
   Use a sponge to smooth wallpaper down and never a spatula, which could scratch the design.
   
2. Keep it Clean
   If you’re wallpapering a bathroom or a very busy area in the house, we suggest applying two coats of Polyvine Decorator’s Varnish in ‘Dead Flat’ over the top using a short flock roller (just ensure the wallpaper is dry first). This will help protect against finger marks, stains and scuffing.
   
3. Pull the Plug
   For sockets and switches, start by unscrewing and removing the outer casing. Apply the sheet of wallpaper as normal and let it hang over the socket area. Next, use a knife to slice a cross-shaped opening, diagonally from corner to corner across the socket area, then cut away the excess. Smooth the paper down with a brush or sponge before reattaching the front cover of the socket.
