our wallpaper calculator<\/a> can be used for this job.<\/p>\nSo how do you measure a hall, stairs and landing for wallpaper?
\nWell it\u2019s not as hard as you may think. If you think of the upstairs and downstairs as two different rooms, splitting the stairwell wall into two parts. Imagine the skirting of the upstairs goes all the way across the stairwell wall and measure as you would normally.
\nYou will use a lot of paper on the stair walls as there is a lot of wastage, especially if you have a pattern paper.<\/p>\n
Now you know how much paper to buy, and have bought it, you can start to paper. So where do you start? <\/p>\n
Where to start papering the hall, stairs and landing<\/h2>\n
You should start by hanging the longest sheet first down the stairwell, and working along one way until a corner. Mark the wall using a plumb line to ensure your paper is vertical, then measure your drop of paper ensuring you allow for the angle of the stair stringer, mark the paper at either side at the bottom allowing for trimming.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Take your roll and lay it on the paste table, then take a straight edge and draw a line joining the two marks up, you should have a diagonal line. Cut the paper as you normally would, then trim the paper along the diagonal line, this will save you getting paste all over the carpet when you hang the sheet.<\/p>\n
Paste the sheet and allow to soak, and then hang the first drop. You should then take the roll of paper and line it up with the one you have just put up, unroll it and ensure any Patten is lined up, then mark and trim as before, continue doing this until you reach a corner, then do the same the other side of the longest drop until the other corner.<\/p>\n
Once the longest drops are done you can work as you would for a normal room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
