How do you make sure that your striped wallpaper will meet properly when your fourth wall meets the first wall?

Start in the middle of a wall, a bit less than a full width from a corner. Use a 4 or 5 foot level and draw a line. The level is to make sure you start level (straight up and down). Don't trust the corners to be true. Every time you reach a corner, check the straightness on when you start the next wall. Your last peice will butt up against the first piece and disappear into the corner, overlapping the previous piece in the corner.

Biggest mistake h/o make is to assume the corners are square. They never are! Use a level!
