Why is my wallpaper shrinking?Updated 3 months ago

The best way to minimize shrinkage is to be careful during the installation. The more you stretch and move your wallpaper or re-apply it, the more likely it is that the paper will shrink. Ideally, you want to get it aligned perfectly, but the more you adjust it and try to re-apply, it will shrink from being overworked. For pre-pasted or unpasted papers, you want to give each sheet a little time to book. When you wet the wallpaper it expands and tends to slightly shrink once it's dry.
