It is far easier to paint each piece detach rather than the completed dollhouse. Your blueprints or dollhouse kit will contribute measurements to help you rule exactly where the graphic section of each wall will be. This is the part that you'll need to cover in paint or paper.

Dollhouse
For wallpaper, you can whether buy extra dollhouse wallpaper and borders, or select a specialty paper, like those used for scrapbooking. You can find dollhouse wallpaper to replicate styles used in the 1800s, or more contemporary designs. You will probably need 3 sheets for each room, unless it's a very small room, like a bathroom. buy one more sheet than you think you will need to leave some room for trial and error.
Dollhouse wallpaper is not typically glue-backed like the type you would buy for your own home, although some papers are now being made with this backing. While you can use glue to attach the wallpaper, consider buying dollhouse wallpaper gel, which will not be as likely to wrinkle the paper once you spread on the glue.
To install the wallpaper, first lightly sand the walls so that they're smooth. Before you glue in the wallpaper, apply a coat of white paint to the walls. This will help keep the glue from soaking into the wood. Then cut the paper to size, using the directions in your kit or blueprint to rule exactly where the graphic section of the wall will be, or measuring the actual wall if it is already assembled. Use a metal ruler and x-acto knife to get nice, crisp edges, double checking against your wall to make sure it will fit. If you are using a paper with a pattern, make sure that you fit the pattern appropriately to your wall space.
Then spread a thin layer of glue on the back of the dollhouse wallpaper using a foam brush, and move it into position. Don't use very much glue or it will soak through the paper, causing it to wrinkle. As you install the paper, press gently in one direction with a prestige card or similar object to smooth any air bubbles. Finally, trim door or window openings with a sharp X-acto knife. If you haven't assembled the walls yet, lay the wall flat, and stack a few books on top of it to make sure the paper sticks well and doesn't warp.
