That was pretty amazing. Thanks for not doing a simple wall. I have hung wallpaper for over 40 years and you tackled the tough stuff. I will show this to my staff instead of trying to describe it. I made sure to support you as well.
I really appreciate that! So glad it will be helpful for your staff as well.
I have to say after perusing a number of videos about vinyl wallpaper, yours was the only one of value. Showed the process and tricky applications, and reminded me that I’ll always underestimate the amount of paper needed. Well done. Subscribing
I’m so glad it was helpful!
SO HELPFUL! I've never hung peel & stick wallpaper before, let alone on the wonky walls of a 100+ year old home. The starting line with the level was gamechanging. Thanks for making it so easy to get this job done 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
You make it look so easy!!😭😭
Lots of practice!
Perfect how-to video! My first time hanging wallpaper, and it eally helped, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much... you don't even know how much this helped me with my Nu Wall geometric curves and lines.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Great job! It is looking great!
I really appreciate that you share it all when you do these kind of jobs. Wallpapering has always intimidated me.
I might give it a go!
You can do it!
Thank you so much, it was a great tutorial! I especially liked that you picked a non flat wall with angles, electrical outlets, window and the decorative wood area. . You showed how to position the wallpaper and cut around everything and the wall area that you needed to start at the bottom instead of the top plus all the other tips. This was definitely a helpful video because of the problem/difficult areas that many of us could face and not know what to do. Looking forward to viewing your other videos.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
What are good peel and stick brands????
I love it. I have used regular wallpaper but never peel and stick.
There are pros and cons to both for sure!
This is fantastic thank you so much. Can you please explain how you cut little pieces to fit in around the window instead of deceasing a full strip and cutting around the window? I don’t quite understand. I was wallpapering for the first time and as I went around the window, all of a sudden on the other side of the window, it didn’t match up anymore. I was using a full panel over the window and then cutting that part off and then using the panel underneath the window if that makes any sense?
I’m not quite following your question, I’m sorry! Traditionally if you have to go around an obstacle you use the full panel and cut out where needed. I only added pieces to this section because it was too small to work with a full piece easily.
Why was that so satisfying to watch? Lol. Love your style. Can’t wait to see it all finished!
Thank you so much!
You made that look way too easy!! LOOKS GREAT!
Let me know if you try it!
Looks fantastic already! I'm a painter, but wallpaper can be really lovely esp if there's a texture. Congratulations on surpassing 10k subs 🥳
Thank you so much!
You are very patient. Loved the video
Glad you liked it!
I'm new to your channel via Andrea at Pine and Prospect home...enjoyed your video!
Thanks so much for being here!
Really enjoyed watching the process. Not sure I could tackle it on a wall with so many cuts to do . Lol. Looks great👍
Thank you so much!
Great job and very helpful! I plan to install some peel and stick soon and your video helped me a lot to plan. I'm sorry to be nitpicky but the vertical lines drawn on the wall are actually plumb lines and not "level" lines as referred to several times.
You’re so right! I searched for the word I wanted for a few minutes and when it didn’t come to me I went with it. Glad the video was helpful!
Great tutorial! I’m not crafty at all but I’m going to try it :) you making it look easy
You’ve got this!
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much!
Hi. Are you using the leveler strictly for the purpose of a straight line? Can you use a yard stick and draw a straight line?
No the level is to get your plumb line. 🙂 Without the level you can draw a straight line but it might not be plumb, which would make your paper get more crooked as you go.
Excellent information
Glad it was helpful!
Looks great! And great job too! Thanks for the tutorial and showing how to match up the paper. It might be a nice addition to explain how to calculate how much paper to buy with the wall match/drop match?
Thank you so much! Most manufacturers have suggested purchasing guides online! I just didn’t follow it 😆
Super fun and helpful!
I’m so glad!
Looks gorgeous! Wallpaper has become ridiculously expensive lately, so it pays to know what you are doing. How long did you wait after you painted the trim? Did it mark it at all?
I waited 24 hours. I didn’t have any issues! Now if you’re painting a full wall, you shouldn’t install peel and stick over freshly painted walls until they have cured.
No use of paiters tape to hold in place or pre cut the matching patterns on the neighboring sheets?😮
No need!
That was great :)
What wallpaper did you use please, as its lovely xx
Thank you so much! It’s linked in the description!
Ok where or how do you know how thick a wall paper is? And where to get it? Thank you! Peace
It will say on the listing description for most brands.
9:15 could you use a small needle to get the air bubble?
Absolutely!
I love that wallpaper and would like to get it in a navy. Where did you purchase it? Great job by the way.
It’s linked for you in the description! Thank you so much!
Is any wall prep needed like sanding or just cleaning ?
If the walls are noticeably dirty or greasy then I would clean them first. Especially if there is a greasy film.
For renting a house is it easy to remove it?
?
Depends on a lot of factors. How the walls were prepped, brand of paper, how long it’s left, level of humidity and moisture. I’ve had some peel and stick come off with no problem and others have ripped the drywall paper.
How much extra did you leave at the top and bottom when you make your first cut(before hanging)?
I usually leave about 4 inches each just to be sure!
I used cheap paper and it was such a pain!
I’ve had bad experiences with cheap paper too! It makes it much harder to work with. 🥴
❤ beautiful women & beautiful job.
There are only cons with peel and stick. Because it's not wall paper.
For sure!
Your so brave to film this as you go. There would be so many bleeps if I did this in real time 😆 Great job!!!❤️
Hahaha! 😁
Lol brave.
My wife asks why I do these home projects if all I do is curse the whole time. I told her that it's how I relax.
Ahaha me too! I've been renovating my whole house/property for about a year now and my neighbors are scared of me bc they just hear "random" yelling and cussing 😂
First-time wallpaperer here! This tutorial was by far the most helpful of all the videos I watched. The tip to start from the bottom if you’re in a tricky spot saved my sanity! Thank you!
Great to hear!
Same!!
Wallpaper today is so versatile. It's great we can personalize even a rental space without losing a damage deposit.
Thank you so much, you made it very easy to follow & understand!! It also looks SO much brighter already from the before pic! We have a loft/attic space that looks very much like that. The walls have tiny little bumps all over them (not sure what that is called) so it’s not a candidate for wallpaper but I’m thinking of putting up maybe beadboard or something over it. We had to renovate our bathroom and I really don’t want the mess of removing & installing new drywall up there. It serves as a guest bedroom.
Oh yes beadboard would be a great option!
I have sensitive eyes so this wallpaper wouldn't work for me but it looks gorgeous nonetheless and you did a great job showing how to do it yourself. Another video said you NEED 2 people. Not everyone will have that
Thank you so much! I actually prefer to do it alone. I find with two people someone is pulling opposite the other and it causes wrinkles or warping in the paper.
Can this paper be used on a surface that’s not smooth and flat? I want to apply over wood paneling.
You’ll see the grooves, unfortunately. It does best on smooth surfaces.
I saw a bunch of videos in preparation for my wallpaper projects. This was the best video! Thank you for a great explanation and helpful tips.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve hung plenty of traditional wallpaper but never the peel and stick. This was a great tutorial. I typically use a 4-6” broad metal putty knife to trim with - it’s thinner and easier for me to trim around. I do use a plastic smoother though. The other thing I do to keep things looking right is on the right hand side of the windows I draw an additional vertical level line since there is such a small amount at the bottom to use as a guide for the whole piece - yours turned out beautiful though!
Those are great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This was such a helpful tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
You mention using good quality paper and that is probably what has kept me from doing the project I want. I don’t want to end up picking the wrong paper. Can you recommend good paper from experience and/or paper to stay away from?
Well done ! I'm a professional paper hanger in Houston Tx for more than 30 years and let me tell you ? peel and stick it is a very nice material to work with.some of them have stronger adhesive than others.you did a very good job.i liked the way you finished the top of the window ! very good job !
Thanks so much!
Thanks 👍🏽
i'm considering a paper on Home Depot. It says it's .01 thickness. covers 30 sq ft for $35. Trying to gauge if it's
paper density is good? Also, online it says vinyl material. do all wallpaper's list themselves like that? (i don't want
grandma's ole vinyl wall paper!)
Lastly, you didn't mention anything about wall finish. I happen to have walls that have hardly any texture.
Never seen walls this flat before. thank you!
Peel and stick Wallpaper is best for smooth walls. Pasted paper can handle a small amount of Texture though. I wouldn’t apply peel and stick to textured walls as it will show through and cause air bubbles.
Hello,how much is the tiny overlap of paper for shrinkage? Thanks
Just an 1/8” should be enough!
@@GraceInMySpace I start doing my wallpapering tomorrow so your reply is much appreciated. Thank you 👍
They are good but I am not convinced better than paste, with paste you can move it if you have placed wrong by sliding it left right up and down, believe me if you have made a small mistake this can be invaluable, you can also butter lines up real tight doing this. Still a neat idea if you have perfect walls and do not make a mistake I can see it being really good
You helped me hang my wallpaper (by myself) with ease. Thanks for the great video tutorial!
Great to hear! I’m so glad it was helpful.
I'm about to use peel-and-stick wallpaper for the first time and these tips are so helpful! Your room turned out great. I just love the visual impact of wallpaper.
I’m glad it was helpful! Wallpaper makes a great statement. Good luck with the project!
I am trying this for the first time in my teeny tiny powder room this weekend. This video was helpful. Thank you.
I’m glad it was helpful!
Well done. Other videos don't instruct to use a level or a chalk line to set the starting line. One suggestion: verify the starting wall level too. If it's off more than a quarter of an inch it might be best to measure from the point that would be farthest and use that as the start line mark so as to overlap the difference. Also, those outlets are actually called light switches. Lol!
How do you know what thickness of peel and stick to purchase when buying online?
You're a rockstar. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you, you have the best video. I just started my first wall and it turned out great
I’m so glad it helped!
I watched quite a few videos before I started hanging my peel & stick wallpaper. Your video is hands down the absolute best & informative video of all of them. You did a great job explaining & showing the problem areas you may encounter. Thank you very much!!!
Wow, thank you! So glad it helped.
I'm wanting to paper just the wall over & around my bedroom door and closet - I grew up in an old house where just about every room was wallpapered... I had no idea that this removable/temporary wallpaper existed. Now that I've downsized and moved into my leased senior community apartment - this is just the thing.
I sure appreciate your taking the time & efforts to do this tutorial.
I actually think I'm going to be able to do this - wallpaper adds so much to an interior room.
Thanks, very much...
You’re welcome! Good luck with the project.
Good how to video....except you're confused about what "level" means. You are saying level" when in fact you are referring to "plumb".
Level refers to horizontal.
Plumb refers to vertical .
Yep, just said the wrong word 👍🏻
You did awesome! You are a great teacher. Thank you! I installed peel and stick wallpaper 😢 i had the first piece up and smoothed out looking so good and stepped away for about 15 minutes. I came back it was falling off😭 idk what i did wrong🤦♀️ its a thicker nice quality paper. Do you think i could put wallpaper paste on it?
My guess is the wall needed prepping. Perhaps it needed to be cleaned? Or, was it over glossy paint? Or you might have a bad batch of paper. Try another roll and see how it sticks.
This is such a good idea,along with some new pictures on the wall
I was arrogant and started 3 simultaneous rooms as I needed to order extra as I misjudged the amount I needed. I really REALLY. needed to watch this beforehand. You tackled every one of my issues. Thank you! Your work and tutorials are fantastic!!!! Love from michigan!!❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
My husband and I had the best little morning date watching this video before we dive into a project. Thanks for all the tips and laughs! What a tricky space to wallpaper and you pulled it off seamlessly!
That is awesome! Glad it could help!
You make it look easy and doable. Thanks for all the tips !
I’m glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thank you for the great tutorial. Thanks for putting the wallpaper type above!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Just what I was looking for! Will be doing my first wallpapering ever and this is so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
You make it look so easy! Did you wash your walls with water/alcohol before applying?
I never have!
Can you put wallpaper on paneling? I want to do an accent wall in my kitchen but we have paneling. Love your video!
You can try, however it might not grip well unless you prep the panel and it will show any grooves in it.
The online measurer said 2 rolls so I getting 3. online paper got a good rating doing 1 wall and solid color hope thats easier. saving your video thanks
Good luck!
You do an excellent job explaining your procedures. As a new subscriber, I am looking forward to seeing even more of your videos.
I’m so glad it was helpful!
any websites you recommend for durable thick peel and stick wallpaper?
NextWall and Wallpops have always been favorites. Both can usually be found on Amazon.
Thank you for posting this. My husband was much more willing to do a small project with me after we watched this video together..really appreciated the little tips for outlets and window corners ;)
I’m so glad! Good luck on your project.
How do you know what thickness of peel and stick to purchase when buying online?
Most say in the description online
Great video worked perfect 🤙, still disconnects every once& a while but I just come back to this& rub it again. ✌️
Based solely upon the links provided, about an ounce per square foot is what she considers thick quality paper. You can buy it a lot thinner.
Great video! Love the wallpaper! Where did you get it?
Linked In the description 😁
Wow, I’ve been too afraid to do this. Great advice and tips. I can do it haha.
You can do it!
I'm freaking out because I am about to do this for the first time today. Thank you for providing so many useful tips. I would have never considered marking a level line to start with. I would have aligned the first sheet with what I'm sure is an uneven wall and messed up the entire application. Overlapping the sheets and starting with extra on the ceiling are also great tips that I would not have considered. Thank you again for putting this video out into the world. I'm sure it has helped may people.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Hope your project went well.
Yup. I messed up. Good on you and good luck!!!
Kudos! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Do I have to prepare my walls to use sticky wallpaper
They should be clean and at least primed.
Do you ever snap a plumb line to get the first piece hung straight?
You could! I usually use a laser level if I have the space to set it up.
You did great! When the roll came in did it have a # on it? I used to work in a home decore store and you wanted those codes to match or they may not match on the wall. Hopefully yours is fine. If you can find the #, I would ask for a roll from that batch if possible.
I’m trying to figure out how to match seams on a solid blue wallpaper. I can’t find tips anywhere.
Just overlap slightly if it’s peel and stick.
Just overlap slightly if it’s peel and stick.
where do you recommend buying peel and stick wall paper from? any store you know that has good quality?
I’ve always loved wallpops!
Thanks for the recommendation I'll check them out!
Can I contract you to install vinyl graphics in retail spaces 😁?
Thank you for asking! Unfortunately I’m not able to take on outside projects.
Good job. How much wallpaper did it take?
3 rolls! But it will depend on each wallpaper type as all rolls have different quantities.
Where did you purchase the wall paper? I love it.
It’s all linked in the description!
I'm enjoying your video. One small comment to be helpful is that the line that you used a level to make sure your 1st sheet is correct is called a plumb line. A level line is horizontal, and a plumb line is vertical.
Yes! You are correct, just misspoke.
My first wallpaper application video and you nailed it! I’ve only one question! I’m wallpapering the wall at my bathroom vanity. There’s a tall skinny cabinet that stands on the counter and goes 18” short of the ceiling. Do I wallpaper above that first and then go left or right of it? Or start left and work my way right?
I’d start where you have the ability to see a plumb line. So maybe start to the right of it on the full wall and then fill in above the cabinet to the left.
Great tips. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
LOVE The options of Paper!! I wish I knew where I could physically visit & make a more informed decision. I’d love to visit the store to compare with others’ they may have at the physical store OR could work better in the space. We shall see.
I’m dying to get at least oNe area completed (decorated) a bedroom, bathroom, office, anything. Or even if least where it technically “could be” It’s so rewarding once it’s all said & done…I’m trying to keep my eyes on the prize & budget. 🎉
There are lots of wallpaper stores! I’d just Google to see what’s close to you. ☺️
Excellent job. My wife bought some of this stuff and I hate it. One Moe wall and we’re done. Sadly it has the vanity, 6” away on one side, a real pain, lol
You can do it! It can definitely be tedious.
Brilliant tutorial. Peel and stick wallpaper was bought by mistake from amazon. Can't be bothered sending it back, so I'm going to follow your instructions. I can paste and hang paper, so I'm thinking I should be able to do it.
Thanks for the tutorial
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Peel and stick onto existing paper or tile backsplash
What would you recommend for a 1st timer? Peel and stick or traditional. Seems like traditional provide more flexibility for corrections during installation.
They both have some wiggle room for error. Peel and stick can peel back to be repositioned. Traditional more slides into place. Either option is doable, and typically whatever you start with is what you will find easiest just because of experience. I’d say find a pattern you like at a price you like and start there!
Was the original wall you applied this to, textured?? I heard you can’t use this product on textured walls and I’m struggling applying this to my textured wall. Just wondering if I need to apply a thin sheet of particle board or something like that first.
Mine are smooth drywall. Texture will show through peel and stick so adding a smooth layer is your best option.
I just love this wall paper . Where did you get it from.
It’s linked in the description!
@@GraceInMySpace yes I saw but it says you have to download the ltk app? 🤔 instead of your just telling us the name of the wall paper.
Another very informative video…ammunition (I say that very lovingly, as he is the best !) to show my hubby that we should try it…he is not crazy about wallpaper and I am crazy for wallpaper (not everywhere of course). Thank you for sharing !
You can do it!☺️
It is really an accent!! but could you have chosen an easier wall to paper. I have done my share of wall papering. And stripping it off. But that wall was a dussy. I do like the paper they have come out with. But I did use some on the shelves of my hutch. It reminded me of contact paper. Maybe that is the difference of the weight? Thanks Joyce
Yes not all peel and sticks are created equal for sure!
