The three main options for choosing start and end points are: starting and ending above a door (gold line), starting and ending in a corner behind a door (pink line), and centering the first strip at a focal point in the room (blue line).
To determine which option is best, hold a wallpaper roll at the start point and mark with a pencil where the seams will fall, working your way around the room. Ideally, keep seams at least 4 inches away from corners, as well as the edges of windows and doors. In addition, try to plan seams so they fall near the center of windows and doors.
