WALLPAPER BASICS: WALL REQUIREMENTS
PAINTED
Your wall needs to be painted for a successful install... and dry. Recently painted walls need to dry for 4 to 6 weeks. When painting with low VOC paints you need to wash the wall with rubbing alcohol prior wallpapering.
CLEAN
The wall needs to be in good conditions and clean, no cracking paint, humidity spots, stains, or dust. If you are not sure about your type of paint wash the wall with rubbing alcohol prior wallpapering.
SMOOTH
Removable Peel and Stick needs to be installed over a smooth wall, free of texture or decorative finishes. They are are not safe when installed over textured walls.

INSTALLATION
Make sure the wallpaper is suitable for the surface of your wall.
Install on painted walls, clean, and in good conditions, not cracking paint, do not install directly over joint compound. Do not use wallpaper to cover old wallpaper. Recently painted walls need to dry for 4 weeks prior a wallpaper install.
AVOID ALWAYS
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY FLUCTUATIONS
Removable peel and stick preforms optimally with regulated and stable temperature between 65℉ and 80℉. Drastic temperature or humidity fluctuations will affect the long term performance of the material. Do not install your wallpaper in areas without temperature regulation, avoid bathrooms with excessive humidity.
COVERING OLD WALLPAPER WITH NEW
Do not use a wallpaper to cover old wallpaper. Peel and stick wallpapers are to be installed on painted walls, not to cover stains, or previous wallpapers. They can either fall off, or stick so strong you won’t be able to remove it. The outcome can be unpredictable.
ATTACHING ELEMENTS TO THE WALLPAPER
All elements you want to hang on a wall with wallpaper need to be physically attached to the wall using nails or screws. Never glue baby signs, decor or shelving with double sided tape to a wallpaper. The wallpaper will fall off along with all heavy elements attached.

GO DEEPER: MEASURE AND ORDER
USE A
MEASURING TAPE
The first tool you will need in your wallpaper project is a measuring tape.
⛔️ Never use a phone app to measure a wall, they are not as accurate as they seem.
MEASURE
WIDTH & HEIGHT
Measure Width and Height of your space in inches, never work with fractions, round up to the next integer number.
Measure Height vertically floor to ceiling, and Width horizotally wall to wall.
WALL
DEFORMATIONS
Walls are almost never perfectly straight. Take the same measurements in different places: measure Width at top and bottom of the wall, measure Height at left and right edge. While Width and Height “should” be consistent don’t worry if numbers are 1 - 2 inches off, this means your wall has a small deformation.
When ordering always add a couple inches to each measurement to stay safe in case of wall deformations.
SLOPED WALL
Measure the tallest and widest point. Cut the remnants during installation
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Measure the overall area Width and Height, as if there were no windows or doors. Install and cut around the elements when applying
MULTIPLE WALLS
Either combine the width of the walls and submit only one order. Or submit separate measurements as individual murals, request the art to match throughout them.
HOW TO ORDER
WALLPAPER
Patterns with a steady repeat rate are sold by panels. To cover one entire wall you will need multiple panels. Order multiple panels in the Quantity selector. We offer a wide range of panel heights to accommodate all types of projects.
All our wallpapers have a straight match, so they match when you put them one next to the other.
When combining panel heights within an order, consider the design always match at the top.
