Closet Style Makeover: A Guide to Wallpapering a Closet

Want to refresh the look of your old cabinet without buying a new one? Wallpapering is the perfect solution! It's an easy, quick, and relatively inexpensive way to upgrade the look of your furniture at home and add color and personal style to it.

Before you begin:

Wallpaper selection: Choose a durable, easy-to-clean wallpaper that matches the room's design style. Consider the colors of the walls, furniture, and accessories in the room.
Surface preparation: Clean the cabinet doors thoroughly of dust, grease and other dirt. Make sure the surface is dry and smooth. If necessary, sand the surface with fine sandpaper.
Measuring and cutting: Measure the dimensions of the doors and cut the wallpaper to the appropriate size, with a small allowance on each side in case of mistakes.

Materials needed:

wallpaper
Ruler or meter
Pencil
Scissors or a Japanese knife
Plastic spatula (Putty)
Sponge or cloth
Wallpaper glue (if the wallpaper does not come with self-adhesive)
Level (optional)

The gluing process:

Applying glue: If the wallpaper does not come with self-adhesive, apply a thin, even layer of wallpaper paste to the door using the plastic spatula.
Attaching the wallpaper: Start at the top corner of the door and apply the wallpaper gradually, smoothing with the plastic spatula to avoid air bubbles and wrinkles. Work slowly and carefully.
Cutting excess: After sticking, cut off the excess wallpaper with a Japanese knife or scissors.
Cleaning glue residue: Wipe off the remaining glue with a sponge or damp cloth.

Additional tips:

Use the level: It is recommended to use a level to make sure the wallpaper is glued straight, especially if you are sticking multiple strips of wallpaper.
Removing air bubbles: If air bubbles have formed, you can gently prick them with a pin and flatten the wallpaper with the plastic spatula.
Wrinkle treatment: In the case of wrinkles, you can gently lift the wallpaper in the wrinkle area and re-stick it while smoothing with the plastic spatula.
Drying: Allow the room to air out after gluing to allow the glue to dry completely.

Wallpapering a cabinet is a great way to refresh the look of your home and add a unique touch. With a little patience and precision, you can create an impressive look without spending a fortune!
