Benefits Of Wallpaper

Wallpaper provides key benefits that homeowners do not get when using paint. Instead of a monotone look with one color, homeowners will have a pattern on the wall that truly reflects their personality. Wallpaper is also more affordable. It can even be used to hide imperfections in the wall! Enjoy easy installation, removal, and how durable peel and stick wallpaper is!

Wallpaper Has An Impact On The Room

Single color paint jobs simply do not have the same impact on a room than a beautiful wallpaper design does. Instead of a plain blue wall, create more depth with a marble wallpaper on an accent wall. Neutral patterns, such as beige leaves, create a calming effect that is wonderful for one’s mental health. Bold colors stimulate the mind, instantly enhancing the creativity in the room. Wallpaper has a significant impact on every aspect of the room, from the aesthetic appeal to the mood of the people in the room. 

Wallpaper Makes Walls Look Perfect

Paint is known for showing imperfections. It is simply not possible to paint over a dent in the wall. It has to be filled and sanded to perfection. Most people at a beginner level find it difficult to do this perfectly. Wallpaper, on the other hand, smooths over top of dents and dings in the wall, hiding them. The end result is a smooth finish with a clean look. 

Wallpaper Offers Easy Installation/Removal

It can take days to paint a wall if you are not a professional painter. There is also the risk of accidentally painting the trim and the hassle of having to clean up droplets of paint. Wallpaper provides a better look with a hassle-free installation/removal process. To apply wallpaper, simply peel off the backing and stick the wallpaper to the prepared wall. When you’re ready to remove the wallpaper, peel up a corner and peel the panels off the wall. 

Durable

Wallpaper, by nature, is more durable than paint. Our panels are made from high-quality paper that will not rip, and it is water-resistant. Also, wallpaper does not chip or peel as paint does. It will not dent like the wall underneath, either! Instead, you can trust that it will look brand new for years to come.

Please take a moment to read through this guide before hanging, it will help ensure a successful installation of your chosen design. It is important that you understand the entire process before you start. If you are unsure of any of the steps, please get in touch with our customer service team who will be happy to help.

For optimal adhesion of your WALLFLORA peel and stick wallpaper, ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Remove any dirt, dust, grease, mildew, or ink stains to prevent adhesion issues. If dealing with heavily textured or damaged walls, consider using a heavy-duty wallpaper liner. We advise having two people for installation to ensure smooth application—so team up and enjoy the process!

Pre-Installation Checklist

  1. Clean the wall thoroughly with a microfiber cloth.
  2. Remove nails, screws, and fill in cracks.
  3. Switch off electricity and remove socket/switch covers.
  4. Sand rough areas smooth.
  5. Maintain room temperature at 68°F (20°C) during installation.
  6. Let wallpaper acclimate in room for 24 hours before applying.
  7. If walls are freshly painted, wait 4 weeks before applying wallpaper. If paint has washable coating, prime with PVA-based primer or regular emulsion paint and let dry before hanging.

Tools you will need

  1. Microfiber cloth
  2. Measuring tape
  3. Spirit level
  4. Pencil
  5. Exacto knife or paper knife
  6. Triangle ruler
  7. Plastic squeegee smoother with felt edge
  1. Unroll the wallpaper or mural and separate the panels. Arrange them in hanging order from left to right on the floor. For murals, use the numbers on the back of each panel, which are always positioned at the bottom to ensure correct orientation. Repeating patterns can be installed in any order.
  2. Once your wallpaper or mural is laid out, align the design to ensure the image or pattern matches before proceeding with installation.

Line up the first panel

Start from the left side of your wall. Use a tape measure and spirit level to mark where Panel 1 should be positioned. With a pencil create a vertical plumb line from floor to ceiling, then mark a horizontal line 19” from the wall with 1”-2” overhang on the left side of Panel 1. This ensures the first panel is hung straight, vital for successful installation.

Take time to ensure accuracy, as walls are never perfectly straight!

Install the first panel

  1. With your partner's assistance, peel about a third of the backing paper from the first panel. Align the top right edge with the marked plumb line, leaving a 2” overhang at the top to prevent gapping on uneven walls and ceilings.
  2. Once the first panel is straight, continue removing the lining paper slowly while working with the felt-tipped squeegee to apply pressure gradually from the middle, moving downward and outward. Avoid creasing the wallpaper by smoothing gently and evenly. Smoothing diagonally helps remove trapped air.
  3. If repositioning is necessary, gently remove and restick the panel until straight.

Butt up the panels

When hanging multiple panels, align the edges tightly together without overlapping!

  1. Peel about a third of the backing paper and, with assistance, visually match the design down the length of the wall. Once aligned, firmly press the panels together to conceal the seams without overlapping. Smooth out any air bubbles using the felt-tipped squeegee or a soft cloth.
  2. Proceed to remove the remaining backing paper and carefully smooth the wallpaper until fully installed.

Repeat until finished

  1. Repeat the previous steps for all panels until wallpaper is fully installed.
  2. Use a triangle ruler and sharp blade to trim excess from final drop and top/bottom of all drops.
  3. Firmly smooth wallpaper with felt-tipped squeegee to remove air pockets and ensure bonding to wall. Repeat this step one week after installation for optimal results.

Allow for drying at room temperature with adequate ventilation.
