How to: Peel and Stick Wallpaper your IKEA Bookshelf

Step 1: We chose our beautiful tulip removable wallpaper for the backing of our IKEA bookcase because of the dramatic tudor-style design reminiscent of an old library. All we had to do was line up the right side of the wallpaper to the edges as straight and neat as possible (this is where a second pair of hands is helpful).

We used two sheets of peel and stick wallpaper, so take your time and get both sheets lined up evenly to avoid any continuity issues. Don’t worry! Even if you have a minor slip, you can usually hide it behind books or decor on your shelves.

Step 2: Carefully using the X-Acto knife, trim the excess peel and stick on wallpaper. You can place this in the trash, but we tend to hang onto our extra pieces. You never know when a few scraps of easy-to-use wall paper peel and stick can add flavor to other DIY projects around the house.

Step 3: Now for the real fun. Patiently peel the backing away and slide the wallpaper into place along the back of the bookcase. We found that starting at a corner worked the best to avoid any ripping. Again, a second pair of hands comes in “handy” (get it?)!

Step 4: Pro tip, you may want to run a ruler or wallpaper squeegee down the wallpaper in case bubbles or seams need smoothing.

That’s it! Now you will have a beautifully customized bookshelf because of some unique peel and stick removable wallpaper. Once you finish this DIY project, you may look around at other bookcases in the house. If you do, try out any other wallpaper styles from Rocky Mountain Decals. It’s a lot of fun to mix and match based on your room of choice.
