How to Install Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Peel and stick wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to transform a room without the mess of traditional wallpaper paste. With proper preparation and installation techniques, you can achieve a smooth, professional-looking result in bedrooms, nurseries, living rooms, bathrooms, and more.
Before beginning, make sure your wall is clean, smooth, and completely dry. Remove dust, dirt, and debris from the surface and allow newly painted walls to cure fully according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
Start by measuring your wall and using our Wallpaper Calculator to determine how many sheets you'll need. Proper measurements help ensure you order the correct quantity and maintain pattern alignment throughout the project.
As you install each panel, work slowly and use the included squeegee to smooth the wallpaper onto the wall. We recommend using a horizontal figure-eight motion while working across the sheet. This technique helps push air toward the edges and reduces the chance of trapped air creating long vertical bubbles.
Take your time aligning each panel and trimming around ceilings, baseboards, windows, and other obstacles. For additional guidance, be sure to watch our tutorials on measuring your walls and fitting wallpaper around obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need wallpaper paste?
No. Peel and stick wallpaper comes with adhesive already applied to the back, so no additional paste is required.
Can peel and stick wallpaper be repositioned?
Yes. During installation, panels can be carefully lifted and repositioned as needed to improve alignment.
What type of walls work best?
Peel and stick wallpaper performs best on smooth, clean, properly painted walls. Highly textured surfaces may affect adhesion and are not covered under our product warranty.
How do I avoid bubbles during installation?
Use the included squeegee and smooth the wallpaper using a horizontal figure-eight motion. This helps move trapped air toward the edges and creates a smoother finish.
Should I overlap the wallpaper panels?
No. Our wallpaper is designed to be installed using butt seams, where the edges meet without overlapping.
Can peel and stick wallpaper be removed later?
Yes. When removed carefully, peel and stick wallpaper is designed to come off without causing damage to properly prepared walls.
