Lining paper is available in different thicknesses, known as grades. The grades range from thinnest to thickest. The grade you choose will depend on the condition of the walls. If the wall is in a bad condition, a thicker grade lining paper will be required to help cover pitting and more noticeable plastering imperfections. Our lining paper range includes standard lining paper that you apply adhesive to, or paste the wall lining paper. For paste the wall lining paper, we recommend using a paint roller to apply the adhesive to the wall.
The width of lining paper can vary between and millimetres mm. With wider lining paper you may need to buy fewer rolls, but it could also be more cumbersome to hang. If your rolls of lining paper are the same size as a standard wallpaper roll between and mm wide and 10m in length. Use our calculator to see how many rolls of lining paper you need.
Either way, first measure the areas that will be lined in metres, making a note of the length and height of each wall. Multiply this figure by the perimeter P of the room to get the total length of lining paper for the room LPT. Subtract the total from Step 4 from the total in Step 2 to get the total length of lining paper needed for the room T , excluding the windows and doors.
Multiply the total from Step 5 by 1. Divide the total from Step 6 by the length of the roll L and round up to give you the total number of rolls required TR. There can be a few preparatory steps before starting your lining paper project to help prepare the room for decorating. If your walls are freshly plastered, using wall sealer also known as wall size will seal the wall, stopping it from absorbing the wallpaper adhesive.
This helps the paper adhere to the wall and reduces the chance that the lining paper will shrink. Apply to the wall using a pasting brush or paint roller before you hang your lining paper. Follow the product instructions for guidance on how long you should wait after application before hanging the lining paper. Before you hang the lining paper, we recommend removing any existing layers of wallpaper.

Before you get started with hanging the lining paper, clear your room of furniture. This will make it easy to move around without obstacles getting in the way and avoids mess or damage from the paste.

These steps also apply for preparing a room before hanging lining paper. If you are hanging lining paper on the ceilings and walls of your room, we recommend lining the ceiling first and then the walls after. This gives a neater finish around the edges. Jump to the 'How to hang lining paper on a ceiling' before returning to the walls sections. Horizontally — we recommend this if you are going to hang wallpaper over the top of the lining paper.
This way the seams will not fall in the same place, avoiding visible bumps in the wallpaper. Hanging the lining paper horizontally is known as cross-lining. Vertically — best if you are putting lining paper on to paint it as it is easier smoothing lining paper down the wall.
If you do want to hang the lining paper vertically and wallpaper over the top. Start from the place where you are going to hang the first length of wallpaper and hang a half-width of lining paper. Continue with full widths across the rest of the wall. This is okay if the two papers are the same width, but be aware that lining papers are available in different widths. We recommend planning so that two lots of seams do not fall in the same place. These calculations are optional but recommended to make your task easier and for a smooth finish.
To work out your horizontal start point at the top of the wall, mark a small line 60mm shorter than the width of your lining paper from the ceiling.
For example, if your lining paper has a width of mm, mark the line approximately mm down onto the wall. Measure the width of your paper down the wall from your pencil line multiples of mm for this example.
The last section should not be less than 60mm from the top of the skirting. If it is, move the mark of your initial line up or down to create a wide enough start.
