Peel & Stick Wallpaper Hanging Instructions

Preparation Notes:

  • Always start with clean, dry and smooth walls and surfaces.
  • We do not recommend applying Peel & Stick items to textured, unfinished or exterior walls or surfaces.

Tools Needed:

  • Pencil and Scissors
  • Tape measure
  • Plumb Line, or Laser Level
  • Utility or Crafting Knife
  • Straight Edge
  • Plastic Smoother
  • Step Stool or Ladder
  • A Friend!

Step 1: Measure and Peel

  • Measure the wall height and precut strips to match wall height, noting to add an extra 1 to 2 inches for trimming at both the top and bottom.
  • Cut and trim with a razor-sharp knife to maintain a smooth, clean cut.
  • Starting on the left side of your wall, measure out from the corner 20.5” and mark the wall lightly with a pencil.
  • Using a plumb line or leveling laser, draw a straight vertical line.
  • This line is the guide for your first strip; it is important that it is straight.
  • Peel about 12” of the backing away from the paper.

Step 2: Stick the paper

  • Align the right side of the strip with your vertical line and lightly press the edge to the wall along the line. If needed, you can reposition the vertical seam. A second person can verify that the pattern is aligned.
  • Stick the paper to the top of the wall, allowing 1-2 extra inches to overlap the ceiling which will be trimmed off later.
  • Working from the top to bottom, pull the backing away from the paper as you evenly press the paper to the wall. Do not force the paper and be careful not to pull or stretch the product or the pattern will not align.
  • To achieve the best results, we recommend having one person guide the paper at the top and along the seam, while the second holds the opposite edge away from the wall until the seams are aligned.
  • We advise that you overlap the wallpaper by 1/16 inch to prevent shrinkage from temperature changes. Use a plastic smoother to remove air bubbles as you work down the strip.

Step 3: Measure and Peel

  • Repeat this process, aligning your next strip to the right edge of your previous strip.
  • Trim off excess material at the ceiling and baseboard with your utility or crafting knife.
  • Once all steps have been completed, enjoy your newly wallpapered space!

Removing Peel & Stick

  • Peel from any corner and begin to firmly pull away from the wall.
