Installing wallpapers is not as difficult as it looks, it is quite fun. i remember then in school when we use starch to install wallpapers in the hostel and it always did come out beautiful.
This is a step to step guide on how to install wallpapers in your homes, offices or shops.
Step 1
Spackle and sandpaper the wall to smooth any imperfections (imperfections are more visible through wallpaper than paint) , then apply a
coat of wallpaper primer. While it dries, cover a long worktable or the floor with a clean plastic painter's tarp (this is basically to protect the floor from glues and grease and to give you a clean surface to spread out the wallpaper). Make sure your
hands are clean, too.

Step 2
If you're papering a whole wall, cut vertical strips 4 inches longer
than the wall height; once the paper is up, you'll trim the excess.
Arrange wallpaper strips side by side on the floor to ensure that the
pattern lines up correctly, gently taping them together with painter's
tape to temporarily secure them. If you're making a shape (as with the
headboard or sconce backing plates), cut it out on a cutting mat with a
utility knife.
Step 3
Use a tape measure and a pencil to mark where on the wall the paper will
be placed. For example, mark the top edge of a chair rail or sides of a
rectangle.
