Paste the wall wallpaper on chimney breast - Complete beginner!

2ba3c

Hello, I'm trying to make the old not used, chimney breast in our living room - a feature wall, using some paste the wall paper I picked up.

Now the actual 'doing it', doesn't seem too hard -I've watched videos! BUT what I'm struggling to work out is, if the chimney breast is going to take 2 and a half rolls across, do I so the first roll in the middle and then work outwards?

Hope this makes sense, I'm puzzled by it

You always start right in the middle of a chimney breast.

I'd work to one side first with the whole roll. If for any reason the patterns don't match up properly between rolls, you don't want it to happen twice, iyswim.

I just looked at my chimney breast and thats how its down with a sheet of wallpaper right in the centre of the wall then worked outwards from there to the corners
