2 : Prepare the Wall

• Remove any existing wallpaper or paint from the accent wall. If the wall has imperfections, consider filling in holes or cracks and sanding the surface for a smooth finish.
• Clean the wall to ensure it is free of dust and grease. A damp sponge or cloth can be useful for this step.
• Additionally, consider the level of moisture and humidity in your kitchen. Steam and splashes from cooking can damage certain types of wallpaper. To combat this, opt for moisture-resistant wallpapers or those made specifically for kitchens and bathrooms.

• Measure the height and width of the wall using a measuring tape. This will help you determine how much wallpaper you need. Be sure to add a few extra inches to the measurements to account for trimming.

 4 : Cut the Wallpaper

• Roll out the wallpaper on a clean, flat surface with the design side down.      Using the measurements from Step 2, cut the wallpaper to the appropriate  size. Use a straight edge and a sharp utility knife or wallpaper cutter for        precision.
• To cut the wallpaper, you will need a sharp utility knife, a straight edge or ruler, and a cutting mat. Measure the length of the wallpaper you need and mark it with a pencil on the back of the wallpaper. Then, place the wallpaper on the cutting mat with the marked line along the straight edge. Hold the straight edge firmly in place and use the utility knife to cut along the marked line, applying enough pressure to cut through the wallpaper but not the cutting mat. Repeat this process for all the wallpaper strips you need for your project.

5 : Apply Wallpaper Adhesive

• Read the instructions on your wallpaper adhesive or paste and mix it      according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
• Using a paint roller or a wallpaper brush, apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper. Make sure to reach the edges and corners.
• wallpaper with the top of the wall and slowly press it onto the adhesive, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go. 

6 : Hang the Wallpaper

• Carefully align the top edge of the wallpaper with the top of the wall, leaving a bit of excess at the top and sides for trimming later.
• Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to press the wallpaper against the wall, starting from the center and working your way outward. Smooth out any air bubbles as you go.
• When hanging wallpaper, it's common to end up with excess paper at the ceiling or floor. To trim it, use a sharp utility knife or wallpaper blade to make a straight, vertical cut along the edge of the excess paper. Be sure to press down firmly to ensure a clean cut. Then, use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to press the trimmed paper firmly against the wall or ceiling. Repeat this process as needed until all excess paper has been removed.

 7 : Match Patterns (if applicable)

•  If your wallpaper has a pattern, make sure to match it correctly as you hang each strip. This may require extra care and attention to detail.
• Matching wallpaper patterns involves finding wallpaper designs that complement or coordinate with each other. This can be important when trying to create a cohesive and visually appealing look in a room. Some common approaches to matching wallpaper patterns include using different wallpapers in complementary colors or patterns, or using wallpapers with similar motifs or themes. Some designers also recommend using wallpaper to create a focal point in a room, such as a single wall or alcove, and then using complementary colors and patterns to tie the space together. When matching wallpaper patterns, it's important to consider factors like scale, texture, and lighting, as these can all affect how the wallpaper looks in a particular space.

8 : Clean Up 

•  Wipe away any excess adhesive with a damp sponge.
• Allow the wallpaper to dry completely before moving furniture back into place. 
• I can definitely help you with cleaning up your wallpaper. To start, you may want to use a wallpaper cleaner or a mixture of warm water and mild soap to gently wipe away any dirt or stains. Make sure to test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the wallpaper. 
• If you're dealing with grease or oil stains, you may want to use a solvent-based cleaner or rubbing alcohol to help dissolve the stain. Again, make sure to test the cleaner on a small area first to avoid causing damage.
• For tougher stains or marks, you can try using a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the affected area. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this could cause the wallpaper to tear or become discolored.
