Hi
I am wallpapering and have a border running up the staircase - quite steep angle about 45 degrees I reckon.
How do I cut or match the border when it turns the corner on the level - on the landing or in the hall?
The border edge is longer on the staircase wall . I have tried several ways of cutting and turning the corner but none look "right"
The best looking so far is to centre the horizontal border on the same centre as the border running down the stairs - wrap over the top edge of the border running down the wall at 45 degrees and tuck it under the top of the horizontal border then cut the bottom corner off the border running down the stairs at the same line as the bottom of the horizontal border.
Sorry if that is not too clear but it make sense to me!!
But it still don't look right.
Any tips?
