How to Install Non-Pasted Wallpaper or Wall Mural with Precision
Applying non-pasted wallpaper or wall murals can transform any room into a space of beauty and inspiration. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for applying non-pasted wallpapers, including handling overlaps with the double-cut technique for a professional finish.
Preparing Your Space
Ensure your wall is clean, dry, and smooth. Any imperfections can affect the final appearance of your wallpaper. If necessary, apply a primer for a more adhesive-friendly surface. Remember, your wallpaper panels are designed to overlap slightly and are numbered from right to left for easier application.
Applying Your Non-Pasted Wallpaper
Non-pasted wallpapers require an external adhesive. Use any branded wallpaper paste for best results. Follow these steps for a seamless application:
- Start by mixing your wallpaper paste according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Apply a generous layer of paste to the wall using a brush or roller. For the best adhesion, also apply paste to the back of the wallpaper.
- Place the first panel on the far right side of the wall, aligning it carefully at the top and sides. Smooth it out to remove any air bubbles.
- Continue with the next panel, remembering that each piece will slightly overlap the previous one. The panels are numbered from right to left to aid in this process.
Handling Overlaps with the Double-Cut Technique
To achieve a flawless look where the panels overlap, use the double-cut technique:
- Overlap the new panel over the previous one, ensuring the patterns align perfectly.
- Use a straightedge and a sharp knife to cut through both layers of wallpaper along the middle of the overlap.
- Peel away the cut strips to reveal a perfect seam, then smooth down the edges to secure them in place.
Finishing Touches
After all panels are applied, go over the wallpaper with a soft cloth or a smoother to ensure full adhesion and to remove any remaining air bubbles. Trim any excess wallpaper at the top and bottom for a neat finish.
Caring for Your Wallpaper
Allow your wallpaper to dry completely, avoiding any direct heat or sunlight. This will ensure the paste adheres properly, and your wallpaper remains beautiful for years to come.

Advanced Technique: Double-Cut for Perfect Overlaps
For those looking to achieve an even more professional finish, particularly when working with overlapping wallpaper or mural panels, the double-cut technique is invaluable. This method ensures that your overlaps are virtually invisible.
Understanding the Double-Cut Technique
The double-cut technique involves overlapping two sections of wallpaper or mural and cutting through both layers at once. This creates a perfect match at the seams, making them appear seamless.
Executing the Double-Cut
- Apply the first panel and then overlay the second panel on top, ensuring a 2-inch overlap for proper pattern alignment.
- Use a straight edge and a sharp utility knife to cut through both layers of the wallpaper along the overlap.
- Gently remove the excess pieces from both layers, then smooth down the edges to ensure they adhere perfectly, leaving no visible seam.
Tips for a Successful Double-Cut
- Always use a sharp blade to ensure a clean cut without tearing the paper.
- Be precise and gentle when removing the excess paper to avoid damaging the wallpaper.
- Practice this technique on spare pieces before attempting it on your wall to ensure confidence and precision.
This advanced method will elevate your mural or wallpaper installation, ensuring a stunning, professional-grade finish. For more detailed instructions and to explore our wide range of Wall Murals, visit our website.
