When it comes to windows and doors, gently push the wallpaper to the edge of the frame and mark where you’ll need to cut. Use scissors to cut the wallpaper close to the size and shape of the frame and then once you’re ready, use your razor to cut the edge perfectly and make sure these edges are pressed firmly into the frame corner.

There are two ways you can wallpaper around wall sockets and switches. This is entirely up to your personal preference. Don’t forget to turn off the power regardless of which method you choose.

1. Switch off the power to the room you are working with and remove any sockets and/or light switches that you don’t want to cover.
2. Place the wallpaper panel over the socket and/or switch and use your scissors to carefully cut an X where the socket hole is. Carefully cut away each of the four flaps of the X, making sure the area you cut is smaller than your socket
3. Smooth the mural into place using the smoothing tool and place your socket cover back into place, and secure it back to the wall.

1. Switch off the power to the room you are working with and undo the screws of the socket just enough to pull it away from the wall slightly.
2. Hang the wallpaper over the top of the socket and/or light switch. This will be your reference of what you need to remove.
3. Take your scissors and carefully make a small hole in the middle of where the switch is, make an X and cut diagonally outwards from each corner.
4. Next, press the wallpaper against the edges and cut around the socket
5. Try to press the wallpaper edges behind the socket as much as you can with your wallpaper tool and re-tighten the screws
