Peel & Stick Wallpaper Installation
Step 1: Prep and Inspect
Show your wall some love! Clean it thoroughly, let it dry, and make sure it's as smooth as possible. This wallpaper thrives on clean surfaces. Let the rolls sit in the room for 24 hours to acclimate. Give them a once-over—if anything looks off, reach out to us!
Step 2: Gather Your Tools
Time to gear up! You’ll need: Wallpaper, measuring tape, scissors, straightedge, pencil, level, craft knife with extra blades, smoothing tool, step ladder, and an apron or tool-friendly clothing.
Step 3: Cut Your Wallpaper Strips
Precision is key! Pre-cut strips to match the wall height, leaving a little extra at the top and bottom for trimming. Align the design from strip to strip for a seamless look. A sharp razor knife is your best friend—swap the blade often for crisp cuts.
Step 4: Mark Your Starting Point
Measure the width of your wallpaper roll and use a plumb line to mark a vertical guideline. Start from a corner, leaving about an inch for trimming.
Step 5: Position the First Strip
Now for the fun part! Peel 12” to 24” of the backing from the top and place the wallpaper at the top of the wall, letting a little extra hang over the ceiling (you’ll trim that later).
Step 6: Apply and Smooth
Work from top to bottom, peeling the backing away as you press the paper onto the wall. A two-person team works best—one guides while the other holds. Use a plastic smoother to get rid of bubbles.
Step 7: Trim the Edges
Time to tidy up! Trim the excess at the ceiling and baseboard with a straightedge and a sharp razor knife. Swap out the blade as needed for the cleanest cut.
Step 8: Apply the Remaining Strips
Repeat the process, aligning each new strip with the previous one. For some patterns, a slight overlap (about 1/16”) can help ensure a perfect match.
Repositioning or Removing
Need to adjust? Start at the top corners and gently peel downward. If removing, be careful to keep the adhesive surfaces from sticking to each other—they can be tricky to separate.
Cleaning & Care
Keep your wallpaper looking fresh! It’s washable—just use a mild detergent and a damp sponge or cloth. Avoid scrubbing or harsh chemicals, and you’re good to go. Enjoy your new space!

What about textured walls?
For those considering Peel&Stick wallpaper on textured walls, the success largely depends on the texture's degree.
Optimal adhesion is found on smooth or slightly textured surfaces such as satin or eggshell finishes.
Matte and more textured walls like orange peel may also work, but heavily textured surfaces pose a challenge for the adhesive to effectively grip.
It's advisable to test with a wallpaper swatch on the intended surface to ensure compatibility. This approach helps in achieving the best outcome for your decorative project!

What is the difference between the two wallpaper types?
Choosing the Right Peel and Stick Wallpaper for Your Space
Navigating the world of peel and stick wallpapers can be an adventure! Wondering what sets our two wallpaper types apart? Let's dive in!
The Thickness Factor: The standout feature between the two is all about material thickness. Our Premium Peel and Stick Wallpaper boasts a slightly thicker composition compared to the Standard version. This extra thickness isn't just about aesthetics; it plays a big role in enhancing the wallpaper's durability and making the application process a breeze.
Luxurious Feel, Enhanced Durability: Opting for our Premium option means you're treating your space to a more luxurious vibe. The thickness adds a subtle but noticeable depth to your walls, providing not just an elevated look but also a shield against minor imperfections on your wall surface.
Ease of Application: Worried about tricky application? The Premium variety has got your back! Its robust nature makes it more forgiving during application, allowing for adjustments and repositioning without a fuss. It's practically a DIYer's dream come true!
Style & Versatility: Regardless of your choice, both wallpaper types promise to inject style and character into any room. Their peel and stick feature is the epitome of convenience, perfect for anyone looking to add a personal touch to their space without the commitment of traditional wallpapers.
Your Space, Your Choice: Ultimately, the decision boils down to personal preference—whether you lean towards a material's feel or have specific needs based on your wall conditions.
