🧰 Tools You’ll Need
Before applying your wallpaper, make sure you have the right tools:
-
Wallpaper (preferably from Walloro 😉)

Wallpaper adhesive or paste
-
Roller or brush
-
Utility knife
-
Plastic smoothing tool or spatula
-
Level or plumb line
-
Measuring tape

Clean, dry cloth
🛠️ How to Apply Wallpaper – Step by Step
1. Prep Your Wall
Your surface should be clean, dry, and smooth. Sand down any rough areas and remove old wallpaper or flaky paint.
📌 Pro Tip: If you're applying light-colored wallpaper over a dark wall, consider using a white primer first.
2. Measure and Cut the Wallpaper
Measure the height of your wall and add about 2 inches (5 cm) extra to each strip for trimming.
📏 Walloro wallpapers are typically 53 cm wide, but check your roll’s specific dimensions.
3. Apply the Adhesive
Depending on the wallpaper type:
-
Non-woven or vinyl-backed: Apply adhesive directly to the wall
-
Traditional paper-based: Apply adhesive to both the wallpaper and the wall
💡 Walloro’s non-woven wallpapers are designed for direct-to-wall application – easier and cleaner!
4. Hang the First Strip Carefully
Use a level to draw a straight vertical line and align your first panel with it. Start from the top and gently press downward, smoothing as you go. Push out air bubbles using a plastic spatula.
5. Match the Pattern
As you apply the next panel, make sure the design or pattern aligns perfectly.
🎯 Walloro wallpapers feature precision printing for effortless pattern matching.
6. Trim the Excess
Use a sharp utility knife to trim the top and bottom excess. For a professional finish, cut along the edges slowly and precisely.
🧽 Final Touches and Cleanup
After you’ve applied all panels:
-
Wipe off any excess glue with a damp cloth
-
Let the wallpaper dry naturally (avoid heaters or air conditioners)
-
Stand back and admire your new walls!
