I used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/DEWALT-1-1-2-in-Stud-Finder-DW0150\/306154762?cm_sp=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CRicheHolmesGrant%7C122071\"  rel=\"noopener\">stud finder<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">to identify where the studs are in the wall, which helped me determine that I needed my shelves to be at least 6 ft. long given the spacing of the studs. I decided on five 6-foot shelves, each 13 inches apart. Then, I used these measurements and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/Stanley-48-in-Non-Magnetic-180-Aluminum-I-Beam-Level-42-328\/203912305?cm_sp=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CRicheHolmesGrant%7C122071\"  rel=\"noopener\">level<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0to create a mock-up on the wall with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/3M-ScotchBlue-0-94-in-x-60-yds-Trim-and-Baseboards-Painter-s-Tape-with-Edge-Lock-2093-24NC\/203085523?cm_sp=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CRicheHolmesGrant%7C122071\"  rel=\"noopener\">painter\u2019s tape<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">so that I could visualize how the shelves would look before I hung them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If needed, clean walls with warm soap and water to remove any dust or debris.

From this point, measure the length needed for the wall, adding about 2-3 inches at both the top and the bottom that you will trim later. After measuring, cut this piece from the roll and set aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Repeat the previous step for the remaining panels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If possible, use two people to perform the following steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Using a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/WERNER-6-ft-Fiberglass-Step-Ladder-with-300-lb-Load-Capacity-Type-IA-Duty-Rating-NXT1A06\/100662617?cm_sp=socialmedia%7Capronblog%7CD59%7C000000%7CRicheHolmesGrant%7C122071\"  rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">ladder<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s3\">,<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> line up the top of the first panel of wallpaper with where the wall and ceiling meet at the top of the left or right corner of the closet (whichever is easiest!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Starting from this point, slowly peel off about 3-4 inches of the backing and start sticking the wallpaper to the wall.
