To install vinyl wallpaper, start by laying your pre-cut strips on a flat surface facing down. Then, use a soft brush to carefully apply the glue. If you are working with vinyl wallpaper on a paper base, you will need to apply the paste to both the wallpaper and the wall. Make sure to avoid getting glue on the front side of the strip.

To use wallpaper, start by preparing the wall surface by cleaning and smoothing it. Measure and cut the wallpaper according to the dimensions of the wall, leaving a few extra inches for trimming. Apply wallpaper paste or adhesive to the back of the wallpaper, following the manufacturer's instructions. Carefully position the wallpaper on the wall, starting from the top and smoothing it out as you go. Use a wallpaper brush or a damp sponge to remove any air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish. Trim any excess wallpaper at the edges using a sharp knife or scissors. Allow the wallpaper to dry completely before moving or adding any furniture back to the room.
