Striped wallpaper - a good preparation is everything
Prepare the surface well for wallpapering the strip wallpaper. The wall should be smooth, clean, absorbent and free of old wallpaper residues. Fill up any holes. Very highly absorbent surfaces should be pretreated with a wallpaper primer. The right paste is also important, because not every paste is suitable for every wallpaper. For paper wallpaper you can use simple paste. Non-woven wallpaper requires a special paste.
Strip wallpaper - how to do it
Especially with strip wallpaper, it is important that you really bring the wallpaper vertically perpendicular to the wall. Unless you want to deliberately wallpaper diagonally. Even minor deviations are visible on the wall. Therefore, draw a plumb line to which you attach the first strip. For further strips, follow the first strip. On the new wall surface, you should again draw a perpendicular line. Experienced wallpaperers have an eye for this, of course, but as a beginner you should play it safe.
Striped wallpaper as non-woven wallpaper or paper wallpaper?
Strip wallpaper you can buy with a non-woven backing or paper backing. With appropriate surface preparation, both types of wallpaper can be wallpapered very well. For uneven surfaces, paper wallpapers with stripes are more suitable. Smooth surfaces you can simply wallpaper with non-woven wallpaper with stripes. So choose the striped wallpaper according to your surface and your wishes.
