Attach Templates to the Wall

What happens in this clip

Once the floor layout is perfected, transfer the paper templates directly to the wall. Use painter's tape to securely attach each template in its planned position. This step allows for a final visual check of the arrangement on the actual wall and provides an opportunity to make any last-minute adjustments to spacing or alignment before any holes are made. Ensure the tape holds the templates firmly but can be easily removed without damaging the paint.
