And if you’re working with high ceilings, there are even more precautions to take.
Just be sure to buy vinyl or damp-rated wallpaper for moisture hotspots, such as bathroom or kitchen ceilings.

Tweddle also stresses the importance of choosing a wallpaper you will love for years to come.
“When you put wallpaper up, its expensive, and its a long process,” he says.
“So be careful with what you pick.”

Don’t skip this assessment, because it could ruin your wallpaper down the road.
Tweddle suggests taking the time to scan your space and design the safest access possible.
Always consider your pattern location and visualize its design across your space’s architectural details and focal points.
It can be very tricky," Tweddle says.
Apply Paste to Panels
Lay out your wallpaper panels in the order you’ll need them.
One by one, apply paste to the back of each panel.
This after-effect also depends on the punch in of wallpaper you use, since all papers react differently.
Tweddle warns not to hang your wallpaper immediately after applying your paste.
If you do, you may notice bubbles and blisters forming since its still expanding.
“You want this expansion process to happen before you apply it to the ceiling,” Tweddle says.
Carefully line up each panel as you press it onto the ceiling.
Take your time and carefully match up the patterns as you hang the panels.
Tweddle recommends a basic concoction of soap and water, which will lead to a clean, smooth finish.
First, you’ll need to find a way to reach the ceiling safely.
A ladder (held steady by another person) or a scaffolding work well.
Then, you’ll have to wet your wallpaper and use a wallpaper-removal agent.
Tweddle recommend using DIF brand wallpaper stripper.
In that case, it’s best to consider calling a professional.
