I tinted my wallpaper primer the background color
of the wallpaper.
This room provided many architectural intricacies,
including the "kill point" (where to end the installation).
Normally this is done over the entry door using a "fake out".
Engineering the room revealed this was not a desirable option because
we would have a 3" overlap at the kill point. Since this was
a large print, a fake out wasn't possible with only a 3" overlap.
Here you can see I did prime the walls and began
the installation on one side of the room working in opposite directions.
Using a laser level makes this much easier.
Simply adjust the laser to any part of the pattern
you wish where it meets the seam. This paper was a straight across
match. So this pattern met the laser on each sheet.
If you didn't notice the crown molding in the first
photo, you should notice it now. See how the wallpaper makes the
white crown molding "pop"?
This small inside corner was the best choice for
the kill point. Using the laser all the way around the room kept
everything on track.
Looking at our kill point from this angle (entering
the room) provides a pleasing effect.
This pedestal sink was not removed from the wall.
The wallpaper was installed around it. Your guests shouldn't be
sticking their heads under the sink to see if the wallpaper goes
all the way up. But if they should, you'll be glad WALLPAPERPRO
did your installation!
