Line up the first panel
Important: Work from left to right as you face your wall. Use a tape measure and a plumb line or spirit level to mark a vertical straight line a panel’s width from the wall, this will give you a guide when hanging the first panel and ensure it’s hung straight. Ensuring that the first panel is hung straight is vital for successful installation of your mural.
Please note: Your wall may not be perfectly straight and using it as a reference will result in incorrect installation, take time to get this part right. If the first drop isn’t over a flat section of wall that is free from obstacles (e.g door frames / windows) then feel free to install from right to left in the order you have already laid out your wallpaper.
3. With help from a partner, peel away approximately a third of the backing paper from your first drop and position the top right edge along the marked plumb line.
4. Once you’re happy the first drop is straight, use the felt tipped squeegee or similar to slowly apply pressure downwards and outwards starting from the middle. Be careful not to crease the wallpaper by smoothing too quickly or harshly. Smoothing the wallpaper outwards in diagonal directions allows you to remove any air trapped underneath the wallpaper.
5. If the panel needs to be repositioned you can remove the panel multiple times and re-stick until straight. Important: Removing the mural slowly and carefully will significantly reduce the possibility of damage or stretching.
