Step 1
Measure and mark where the panels will be positioned on the wall; use a spirit level to make sure everything is level and straight.

Step 3
Mix the wallpaper adhesive according to the package instructions, apply it to the back of the wallpaper with a brush, and hang the wallpaper on the marks you made in step 1. Smooth out any bubbles with your hands.

Step 4
Use the mitre box to cut the cornices according to the size of your panels. You will need two short sides and two long ones for each panel.

Step 5
Cover the cornices with two coats of paint. Also paint around the edges, as some of it will be visible when attached to the wall. Let the paint dry.

Step 6
Apply the cornice adhesive to the back of the cornices and attach to the wall. Fill the holes at the corners with the cornice adhesive. Wipe any excess away with a damp cloth. Let it dry and touch up with paint.
