Default Papering round a corner

I'm decorating the hall and the external corner at the dog leg consists of
a curve over most of it - but a right angle for the top foot or so, with a
sort of concave filet between the two. Last time I papered this I use a
sort of heavyweight paper with a very random pattern which could be
overlapped without showing - this time it's a plain coloured vinyl but
with a random relief pattern.
What's the best way of approaching this?


When I have done this in our hall and stairs, I cut the paper at the
corner and used the leftover by dropping a line short of the width of
the left over paper on the other wall and glued a plastic 90 degree
strip of the right coloured plastic to the corner after. It stops the
edge of the paper from getting caught and getting pulled off.
