Start with a plumb line. Do this by drawing a vertical line away from the corner or start point you will begin to hang the wallpaper. This line should be marked off at width slightly shorter than your paper so that you can run the edge of the paper down the line and over the beginning corner. Be sure to use a long level or hang a plumb line to start off straight and correct. Your whole project hangs on the straightness of this line!

Start by cutting your wallpaper into strips slightly longer than the length of the area you wish to cover. Have the strips handy. Please note, if you use a different textured wallpaper than the beadboard you will need to make sure your seams line up, so consider that when cutting your strips. The beadboard seams will line up naturally.
