Wallpaper and Wallcoverings - Matching up a border

:confused:

Good Afternoon,

I am hanging a border (at celing level) and the rooms I am trying to hang do not have a natural break point (window, door, heat vent) so I am comming to a point where the pattern will not match up.

So I start in one corner go all the way around and when I get back to the starting point the pattern does not flow.

Any tricks or thoughts to prevent this?

Thanks in advance.

No way to prevent this. It always has a 'kill point' somewhere. I hang it so the kill point is above and behind you when you walk in the door. I was taught to assume the house is for sale, and you would walk into a room, look around, and not see the kill point because it is behind you.

Or pick the most inconspicuous corner.

Another trick I do is at the kill point, I pick one of the graphics that is being cut in half. Find that graphic in a spare piece of border, use scissors and cut out that graphic. Then use Vinyl Over Vinyl adhesive and paste that graphic on the kill point to hide the fact that the background doesn't match.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the reply,

I like the idea of overlapping the pattern to hide the kill point.

Thanks,
