Step 1: Measure Your Wardrobe
Before you begin, measure the dimensions of your wardrobe. This will help you determine the amount of wallpaper you’ll need to purchase. Measure the height, width, and depth of each wardrobe section you plan to cover.
Step 2: Prepare the Wardrobe
Clean the surface of your wardrobe by wiping it down with a solution of rubbing alcohol and water. This will remove any dirt, dust, or grease that could affect the wallpaper’s adhesion.
Step 3: Cut the Wallpaper
Measure and cut the wallpaper panels according to the measurements you took in Step 1. Add a few extra inches to each measurement to ensure you have enough wallpaper to work with.
Step 4: Apply the Wallpaper Glue
Using a paintbrush or roller, apply an even layer of wallpaper glue to the back of the wallpaper panel. Make sure to cover the entire surface, paying extra attention to the edges.
Step 5: Position the Wallpaper
Carefully position the wallpaper panel onto the wardrobe, starting from the top. Take your time to line up the edges and corners perfectly.
Step 6: Smooth Out the Wallpaper
Using a squeegee, gently smooth out the wallpaper from the center towards the edges. This will help remove any air bubbles or wrinkles. If needed, use a sponge to press the wallpaper into corners and crevices.
Step 7: Trim Excess Wallpaper
Once the wallpaper is fully applied, use a sharp pair of scissors to trim any excess along the edges of the wardrobe. Be careful not to cut into the wardrobe’s surface.
Step 8: Repeat and Finish
Repeat Steps 3 to 7 for each additional wardrobe section you wish to cover. Allow the wallpaper to dry completely, following the manufacturer’s instructions, before using or moving your wardrobe.
