lining paper ...vertically or horizontally hung!!?

[TryC]

Hi All,

 

I am due to line my walls to be then painted or papered. I was watching some videos online and I didn't know you could hang your lining paper up horizontally! Do you hang the lining paper up vertically if painting and horizontally when papering over it?

 

Any advice would be appreciated...I'm not looking forward to hanging at all as my previous attempt many moons ago, while it wasn't so bad, still isn't something I enjoy doing. 

 

I think the last time I put the lining paper up, I didn't leave time for it to soak and as a result, the paper 'grew' and I had overlapping paper ?

To paint vertical and horizontal for papering over IIRC.

I like horizontal to paint over and definitely horizontal under wall paper

iirc= if I recall correctly.

 

I stick lining paper on vertically but put it horizontally above and below windows.

Horizontally under wallpaper - no chance of a wallpaper edge in the same place or close to the lining paper edge...
