Installation Guide

How to Install Your Wallpaper or Mural

You don’t need to be a pro to get beautiful results. Whether you chose Peel & Stick or Traditional, our wallpapers are designed for easy DIY installation. And don’t worry—every order comes with a printed step-by-step guide in the box, so help is always on hand.

Before You Begin: Prepping Your Wall 🧽

    ✅ Smooth & Dry Surface: Make sure your wall is clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or flaking paint.
    ✅ Repair Imperfections: Fill holes or cracks and sand any rough patches for the smoothest results.
    ✅ Fresh Paint? Let new paint cure for at least 2 weeks before installation.
    ✅ Remove Old Wallpaper: Old wallpaper or residue can affect adhesion—be sure it’s fully gone.
Fabric-feel & Durable Peel and Stick

🛠️ What You’ll Need: Level, pencil, scissors or knife, smoothing tool (included), step stool or ladder.

  1. Unroll & Relax: Lay your panels flat for 1–2 hours so they settle and relax after shipping.
  2. Mark a Guide Line: Use a level to draw a straight vertical line where your first panel will go. This keeps everything perfectly aligned.
  3. Peel & Stick Slowly: Start at the top, peel back about 10 inches of the backing, and stick the top edge to the wall.
  4. Smooth As You Go: Use the included tool to gently smooth downward while peeling more of the backing. This removes bubbles and keeps things tidy.
  5. Align the Design: Butt the next panel edge-to-edge (don’t overlap) and align the pattern as you go.
  6. Trim the Edges: Once finished, trim any excess at the top, bottom, or around outlets using a sharp blade.
Prepasted Smooth

🛠️ What You’ll Need: Large tray or bathtub (for soaking), scissors, sponge or cloth, smoothing tool, level, knife.

  1. Cut & Sort: Cut along the dotted lines between panels. Lay them in number order on the floor (1 goes on the far left).
  2. Soak & Activate: Submerge one panel in clean water for 30 seconds to activate the paste, then let excess drip off.
  3. Align & Apply: Line the panel up to your level guide and apply top to bottom, gently smoothing with a cloth or brush.
  4. Edge to Edge: Apply the next panel edge to edge, lining up the pattern. Don’t overlap panels.
  5. Clean Up: Wipe away any paste with a damp sponge. Smooth again once dry to remove air bubbles.
  6. Trim Edges: Use a sharp blade to carefully trim excess at ceiling, floor, or around outlets.
Traditional Smooth

This type of wallpaper requires wallpaper paste and a bit more care. If this is your first time, we recommend asking a pro installer for help—or choosing one of our Peel & Stick options for an easier experience.

🛠️ What You’ll Need: Wallpaper paste, roller or brush, level, smoothing tool, knife, clean sponge.

  1. Apply Paste: Roll wallpaper paste directly onto the wall or the back of each panel (follow your printed guide).
  2. Hang & Smooth: Place your first panel along a level line, then smooth top to bottom with a wallpaper brush or smoother.
  3. Align the Pattern: Add each panel edge-to-edge, carefully aligning the design at the seams.
  4. Wipe Off Paste: Use a damp sponge to gently clean any paste that gets on the surface.
  5. Trim Edges: Use a sharp blade to trim any extra material at ceiling, floor, or outlets.
  6. Dry Time: Allow 24–48 hours to fully dry. Keep the space ventilated and avoid direct heat sources.
