Wallpaper Hanging Tools

You’ve probably heard it a thousand times, but it’s true – having the right tools for the job is half the work done. And this couldn’t be more true for wallpaper hanging tools.

Here’s a quick video to show you what I mean:-

Recommended Tools For Hanging Wallpaper

1. Tape measure (measure twice, cut once right?)
2. Razor knife (snap off are great) / knife blades (to get into those edges when trimming off)
3. Spirit levels (to keep everything straight and make sure your edges meet)
4. Smoothing brush, or plastic smoothing tool (to get rid of all those air bubbles!)
5. Large synthetic sponge (to clear away the excess glue)
6. Paint brush or paint roller and pan (for applying your wallpaper paste or water/activator)
7. Big flat surface (clean papering table is ideal)

Remember to rinse your sponge regularly, and to change the water too. Glue left on the surface of your paper or your woodwork will spoil the quality of your finish.

Start with the right wallpaper hanging tools and you’re much more likely to end up with a bubble free, straight, crisp edged professional wallpaper job!
