Hang the paper horizontally, not vertically. When dry, rub the seams gently with a fine grade sandpaper to try to smooth away the joins.

When my contracting company is faced with rough walls we add more plaster to smooth it out. Plaster and drywall compound are both cheaper than paper and easier for ametures to put on. Just keep adding drywall compound util the wall is as smooth as you like.
Drywall compound can also be tinted. This is called Venetian Plaster and has the color built in so it doesnt need to be painted. Have fun!
Also, I would like to say to Geri H and georgieanna h: IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THEN DON'T ANSWER!

Lining paper, is to conceal sins that somebody could no longer be stricken with. plastering is a professional activity. undesirable plastering could make concerns worse. Fill, fill, rubdown. paint a coat, stand lower back and look lower back. you will see a multitude of misses. repeat the filling look lower back. repeat the filling lower back. paint yet another coat. look lower back. repeat if required. this could be tedious. yet at last, you would be wanting a high quality end. If all else fails, get somebody in.

If you want your walls smooth the only way to do it is with sandpaper and elbow grease. Good Luck!
