Wallpapering around an archway uses some of the same techniques as covering a solid wall.
1. Hanging archway strips
Hang two strips of paper that are as tall as the archway and as wide as the jamb; make a horizontal cut from the inside edge to within an inch of the wall. Wrap the paper along the edge of the arch and down the jamb, smoothing out any wrinkles and bubbles as you go.
2. Trimming & matching
Trim the paper on the archway with utility shears to within an inch of the edge. Cut small wedge shapes that extend 1/4 inch from the edge. Calculate half the length of the arch, then cut two strips to that length (plus a quarter inch) and to a width that is 1/4 inch narrower than the jamb. Apply the paper from the top down, and double-cut the seam.
