Finding a beautiful, stylish wallpaper that will look beautiful in your home is an exciting moment for anyone keen to redecorate. But for some, the joy of discovery is tempered by the practical difficulties of fitting it.

For many people, DIY is a challenge they cannot resist, a chance to make even the fitting of something beautifully designed by someone else their own handiwork. The problem is. Of course, is if anything goes wrong, you have to own the problem.

Fitting wallpaper takes skill in any home and this is particularly true in a lot of London properties such as Regency buildings with high ceilings and angled windows. The last thing you want is something that kinks in an uneven fashion - and that is just one of the potential problems you may encounter.

This is why professional wallpaper fitters are so invaluable. If you have invested well in fine new wallpaper, the last thing you want is problems to arise.

Key issues many people are not fully aware of include the need to prepare the wall surface first before laying paper on it. This needs to be checked to ensure it is dry and thoroughly clean, without any dust or blemishes that could impede adhesion, otherwise there may be places the paper does not stick well and it starts to peel.

This is one of many problems skilled workers can avoid. Others include overlapping, overstretching, tears and perhaps the most irritating of all, bubbles. The latter is caused by pockets of air and while a tiny pin prick can help, it is best avoided to prevent the final result looking slightly wrinkled and uneven.

If you are investing in fine wallpaper, you will want to make the most of it. That means avoiding the kind of blemishes that can so easily occur during installation by getting the experts in to hang it immaculately, giving your interior the stylish look that you have always wanted.
