Picture this: you walk into your home after a holiday and realize it’s time for a bit of a makeover! Whether you’re adding new wallpaper to the hallway, bedroom, or bathroom, peel-and-stick wallpaper can help you make a large impact with minimal effort. Zazzle is thrilled to offer you the perfect peel-and-stick wallpaper for your home! In this article, we’ll run through the benefits of peel-and-stick wallpaper and provide an easy guide on how to install it.
The Benefits of Using Peel-And-Stick Wallpaper
You can easily replace or change it: One of the biggest perks of peel-and-stick wallpaper is that you can remove it with ease. When you’re ready for something new, just grab a heat gun or hair dryer to heat the glue, and it will easily come off your wall.
You can match other colors in the room: Choose wallpaper that matches the colors in the room to tie everything together. If you’ve got multiple colors in the room, opt for a design that incorporates all of them.
Instant impact with minimal effort: With wallpaper, you can transform any room quickly. No need to redo the entire space; the right wallpaper can change the look without breaking the bank!
Unique and personal touch: Many houses often have similar interior designs and lack originality. Separate your home from the neighbors by picking out unique wallpaper that speaks to you!
How to Install Your Wallpaper
Never hung wallpaper before? No worries! Peel-and-stick wallpaper is much easier to install than traditional wallpaper. Here’s a quick guide:
1. Prep your walls: Clean them with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Wait for the walls to dry completely.
2. Repair any imperfections: Fix any holes or cracks on the walls.
3. Start hanging: Peel back a few inches of the top of the wallpaper. Align it with the top of the wall and press it onto the surface. Use the felt squeegee from the installation kit as you peel off more backing, working from top to bottom to avoid air bubbles and wrinkles.
4. Align the pattern: Ensure you’re not overlapping the paper. Use a seam roller to press the sides together.
5. Trim the excess: Use a safety razor or straight-edge knife to cut off any excess paper at the ceiling or baseboards.
Pro Tip: For any air bubbles, use a pin to prick the bubble and then smooth the area over. Remember to cut holes for light switches and wall sockets!
