How to put wallpaper on the wall alone

As you might already know, I am an Estonian expat living in Berlin for the past 10 years. All expats in Germany face a common problem – we need to learn the language as soon as possible to be able to build a comfortable life. We get our homes, and we immediately face the first challenge – we need to ask for furniture in German.
In this post, I will get through the basic words and teach you a few German words for furniture. All the words I took were basically me describing my rented apartment.
