Papering A Staircase Laura Ashley Wallpaper 15 ft Drop

Lovely job. I do all my own papering with the exception of the hall, landing and stairs. Ladders, huge drop - I chickened out and got a professional to do it. Good decision.

Lovely job. Could you explain the method in measuring for the amount of paper needed for a staircase wall as I know this can confuse folk. Me included. I know certain papers with a bigger pattern repeat can make it more difficult with wastage etc. Thanks

I always cut my ceiling cut asap to try save leaving paste marks on ceiling, wash as soon as agn with as hot a water as i can stand, found last yr or 2 that if you use vinylMatt on ceilings instead of for example fast matt it wasnes off no problem & no paste marks left wither or paint coming off on sponge.
Ps iIalways use a ready mix paste for hanging finish papers ie Harlequin
Any reason why your using Solvite packet paste?? Not dry too quick on the edges?

How did u find working with Laura Ashley paper ? I bought a lot in the half price sale and it's a lovely looking paper but took to put up because the surface finish was so delicate...even following the paste soak instructions it misbehaved itself a lot ;)

Is that a vinyl paper?
Used to do a lot of papering in my heyday, when I lived in an older house. Had to do the ceilings also. Great job.

I bet you had a few swear words doing that on your own especially being Laura Ashley paper which seems to tear every time you look at it especially the couple of times I have used it, but very impressed especially doing the biggest drop on your own but as usual the finish you leave is top drawer 👍🏻

Laura Ashley is the worst quality of wallpaper I have ever put up. The quality is completely shit. Lovely patterns but the paper quality is abismal.

U not use a plastic spatula & sharp blade for the cuts? Very old sko using scissors, inknow its a laura ashley but with a sharp bmade shluld cut no problem?

I wanted to see how you cut the bottom bit, with it going diagonally.

Get yourself a little giant extending aluminium platform mate... Wider and much safer... Bit dodgy the old scaffold plank

Laura Ashley...people are just paying for the name...not quality..
