Review the room
Keep the decision connected to the actual material and the wall that will carry it.
Review the material, define the substrate, choose the layout, install with the room in view, and check the finished edges.

FIELD NOTES
The work begins with a material and wall review, moves through preparation and layout, and ends with a finished-edge check. This order keeps each decision attached to the condition that produced it.
A room can look ready while a recent paint coat, unfinished repair, missing material, or nearby trade still needs attention. The right sequence keeps wallpaper from becoming the workaround for an unfinished room.
