Labubu wallpaper and similar decals are a great way to transform a boring, empty room into a lively space without needing to learn complicated skills required in renovations. Whether it’s a seasonal room update, a feature wall, or a themed nursery wallpaper, Labubu wallpaper provides lots of color and goes a long way. And don’t worry, if it’s your first time putting up wallpaper, that’s totally fine. Thanks to a few techniques and tools, achieving a smooth, clean finish is perfectly achievable. And that’s exactly what this guide is for. So let’s get into it.
- Having the right tools
Even before you pull your first roll of Labubu wallpaper, a few essentials need to be gathered first: a measuring tape, a levelling ruler, a utility knife, a smoothing tool, a pencil, and a few microfiber clothes. In addition to those, if you are using a peel and stick wallpaper you won’t need any glue, but if you are using a standard wallpaper you will need a glue adhesive, and a paint brush or paint roller. Having your tools gathered before starting will grab all the headaches that come with wallpapering, making your project a LOT smoother.
- Always Do Clean First for Walls
In hope to make the wall finishing last a while, ensure to wipe the wall. The purpose is to make sure any dust, suntan oils, or any other residue is cleared from the surface. Walls that have holes, dents or any bumps in the drywall have to get patched, then sanded. Walls that need effort to prep. Having a smooth, plain surface ensures the wallpaper will be flat and easy to read, so it is worth it to take time to prep the wall.
- Cut After Measuring Twice
This will assist in not only having a wallpaper cut exactly once for a measure, it will also save from the pattern getting cut in the wrong place of a wall, not visually. Measuring will help in both of these scenarios. Start at the highest point of the wall when measuring and cut wallpaper with a few extra inches for trim at the very top and bottom when it is time to cut the wall.4. Start By Aligning A Level
In order to achieve a high quality installation, it is necessary to have a perfectly straight line to start with. A level line will keep the wallpaper from drifing, so it’s the most important line to avoid a bad installation.
- Work methodically, applying gentle pressure.
With peel and stick wallpaper from Labubu, instead of peeling the entire backing at once, do it a few inches at a time. Once the top of the strip is pressed into place, use the smoothing tool to keep the end of the tool touching the wallpaper to remove any air bubbles. If you’re using glue-based wallpaper, spread the glue with a steady hand to keep it consistent across the surface. Looks like it will pay off.
- Match the Pattern Very Closely. Labubu designs contain very detailed and enchanted drawings, so you need to match the strips very closely. Overlap the edges and reposition them until the designs and patterns align to make a seamless pattern. Smooth the seam to make sure that there are no gaps, and that the edges are firmly pressed together.
- Trim and Finish Neatly. Use a blade or a box cutter to clean the extra pieces of wallpaper along the top, bottom, and over the outlets. Clean edges and non-ripped material come from fresh blades.
- Final Check and Touch Ups. After all of the pieces are laid, do another round of smoothing over all of them gently. Get out any remaining tiny air pockets, which can often be pressed, or tiny pins can be used to get them out.
These methods make the installation of Labubu wallpaper a breeze, even to first-timers. After a little investment, you get a styled and designed space that emanates your personality.
