Been talked into wall papering one of the walls in our bedroom when I start decorating this weekend, I haven’t wall papered for about 20 years and can’t really remember much about it tbh. So if anybody can give me some tips that would be great.

I would image I need to find a straight line with the first strip going in the center of the wall then working out on both sides......???? That would be my logical approach, do I form a crease with a brush at the ceiling then pull back the paper and cut then lay back and finish off?

I loathe hanging wall paper with a passion.

I don't know how complicated the shape of your room is, but remember that with corners, they're rarely dead straight. Be prepared to have some alignment issues arise - if you're like me, you'll spend hours lining it up, moving it, getting it straight, only to realise that as the wall/corner isn't dead straight your efforts are for nothing. Ta-da. One crooked piece of paper.

Luckily I only need to do one wall but as it's a 3 storey house and our bedroom is in part of the loft area the wall shape is a bit tricky due to the ceiling shape.

Cheers for the links PF

Papering walls is brilliant, precisely for the reasons that Alex states above.
It's a challenge that the house makers have thrown do to you. It's almost like the house defies you to have straight hanging wallpaper.
Hints/tips … get a plumbers line, always cut the paper too long, use appropriate lining paper, don't use lumpy paste, use a proper pasting table - or appropriate pasting surface, remove all fittings from the walls, enjoy the process.
Have fun.

My hint: Break out the magnolia and paint the wall

Wallpaper is an arse to put up, an arse to take down, makes painting an arse, costs a bloody fortune to do properly, looks almost universally bloody awful and ruins a perfectly good wall.

Just my opinion mind

This is his home we're talking about! Not student digs being rented out by a slumlord.

In a lived-in home, magnolia paint is worse than just about any wallpapering job you'd be happy to live with.
Just my opinion.

Yeah but you're wrong

O'rly?

Magnolia paint is admitting you've given up and just don't care about life.

I think it's the sensible option more than anything, and at least you'd be willing to do it yourself in that case

I thought you had better taste.

Well it is the least offensive option. Also a lot easier to touch up if accidents happen.

Magnolia paint is refusing to spend hours looking at colour charts when you just don't care what colour the wall is and you can get magnolia in bulk for peanuts.
