What’s not to love about Laura Ashley Wallpaper? It has a simple, textured design that is suitable for any room in your home from the living room, to the bathroom or the bedroom. Not only that, but these classic designs are also versatile and can fit almost any decor over the years.
Wallpapers are an inexpensive way to liven up the walls in your home. Wallpapers give a room character and can add a unique look that you might not get with paint alone. Laura Ashley Wallpaper is one of the leading brands in home décor, but they also make wallpapers that are easy to install with no messy glue or paste required.
When installing your Laura Ashley wallpaper, follow the steps below:
Measure the Areas Where the Laura Ashley Wallpaper Will Be Attached
Measure the rooms you are going to be wallpapering. Measure the length of each wall and its height. You will also need to measure the ceiling height, as well as any windows or doors in your room. If you have a window that is larger than the average size, it may require two pieces of paper instead of one. Take all these measurements into consideration when shopping for wallpaper.
Remove Old Wallpaper
The next step is to remove any old wallpaper that is still on the walls, as well as any nails or tacks that may be in the wall. This can be done with a putty knife and sponge, then use a little warm water to help remove the glue or other residue from the wall. If your walls have texture to them, you may need to sand down your walls to smooth them out before applying new wallpaper. Be careful not to damage your walls while doing this!
Scrape Off Old Wallpaper Glue
To remove any old wallpaper glue, use a putty knife to scrape it off. This can be tricky if the paper has been on the wall for some time and has become hard to remove. You may want to try using a solution of water and vinegar instead, as that will soften the glue so that it’s easier to remove with your putty knife. Be careful not to damage the wall itself while removing this glue; if you do damage the wall, make sure that you repair it first before applying the Laura Ashley wallpaper.
Fill Nail Holes and Cracks in the Plaster with Joint Compound
Fill nail holes and cracks in the plaster with joint compound. Use a putty knife to fill all nail holes, cracks, and small holes on the surface of the wall. Then scrape off any excess joint compound with a putty knife or trowel. Allow it to dry for at least 24 hours before sanding, as this will prevent lumps from forming when you sand it.
Sand Away The Rough Spots
Before applying wallpaper, sand down any rough spots on your wall to create a smooth surface. If you are inexperienced at sanding, ask a friend or family member who has experience in the area to help you. If you do not have anyone available to aid in this step, consult the instructions for how to use a sander for inspiration on how best to proceed.
Apply The Primer
- Apply the primer and allow it to dry before putting up your wallpaper.
- Make sure that the primer has dried thoroughly before applying wallpaper, as wet wallpaper adhesive will cause bubbling and wrinkling in your finished product.
Once everything has been removed from your walls, it’s time for Laura Ashley Wallpaper installation!
Laura Ashley Wallpaper Installation
Before you begin hanging your wallpaper, it’s important to check that the pattern will work with your space. First, line up your Laura Ashley wallpaper pattern on the wall to make sure it is aligned with other elements in the room. This could include a fireplace or window moulding, depending on what part of the room you are working on.
Secondly, check for any defects in the paper and make sure none have been missed by quality control when packaging your product. An uneven surface or one that has an odd shape can be easily repaired once installed but may take more time than expected if not caught before hanging begins!
Lastly, check out all colours used in order to see how they will look together once applied onto walls throughout rooms throughout homes around town (or country).
Use a Seam Roller When Applying the Wallpaper
To ensure the paper adheres to the wall and is smooth, you should use a seam roller. This will eliminate air bubbles and wrinkles in your paper as you roll over it. You can also use the seam roller to apply pressure evenly across seams of wallpaper, which allows them to stick together more easily. It’s important to use this tool because it helps reduce damage caused by applying too much pressure from your hands or fingers, which could rip holes in your wall covering and make it look worn out prematurely!
You should apply additional moisture with a sponge if needed when using a seam roller for installation purposes. The sponge will help keep the surface damp enough so that there isn’t any dry time at all during application; otherwise dry spots may appear on walls after drying time has elapsed (which would ruin any chance of having good adhesion).
Choose The Right Print
Choosing the right print is an important part of decorating, and it’s even more critical when you’re using wallpaper. There are lots of different prints available, so here are some tips for making the best choice for your space:
Keep it simple. Wallpaper can make a room look cluttered if you have too many patterns or colours going on at once. Choose one main design in your room and stick with it; this will help tie everything together and make the whole room feel harmonious.
