I am an experienced paper hanger, but I have never been able to solve the
following wallpaper problem:-

My hallway has an outside corner which is rounded off over most of it's
height, but squared off for the last foot or so at the bottom and top.
How do you paper round this corner neatly? I can fudge it using anaglypta
and a little filler on the overlaps, but a patterned paper is difficult.
The results always look untidy.

Is there any "approved" method for achieving a neat corner?.

I could never wallpaper as it doesn't seem to come with holes for switches
and sockets!
Hack off the squared bit and make it match the rest. There is no other way
to do it unless you can stretch the paper so it's a mad shape. One way
would be to do it in two pieces but it will leave lines. Patterns are
terrible to try and get right as I have never known a house to have
perfectly square walls.
