My daughter's bedroom has a narrow chimney breast running through it, from the fire in the room below. We are redecorating it for her at the moment and most of the walls will be painted, but she wants this chimney breast papered as a feature. I've never wallpapered before but thought this might be relative easy to do. However I have one concern - the paper she wants is 52cm wide. The chimney breast is 51.5 cm wide. By my reckoning it won't be easy to put a single sheet on the front face as there will be around 2.5mm of overhang either side, with the likelihood of the whole thing not being square anyway. It feels to me that such a small overlap will be difficult to fold over and will, in time, be a source of future peeling away.
The other option is to have a join in the middle of the front face, meaning papering around the external corner.
Any wallpaper masters here?
