For the Love of Peel and Stick Wallpaper!
Need easy steps to install peel and stick wallpaper? In my last blog post, Dreamy Girl Bedroom Design in Gold and Pink, I used Peel and Stick Wallpaper for the first time in a few years and I FELL IN LOVE! So much so that I immediately started a laundry room makeover with some wallpaper that caught my eye …. I’m just finishing up that room and the reveal will be coming up soon!

Anyway, peel and stick wallpaper is super easy to use and has a fast learning curve. Wallpaper is often the focal point of a room, so I find it easiest to first pick out a wallpaper and then design the room around it. I did that for Harper’s room and my laundry room and I have another project in mind that I want to do soon!

When you put Peel and Stick wallpaper up for the first time, you may feel it’s impossible. I did. I wanted to give up! It was difficult to get my first piece on straight. To solve that, I used a level to draw a straight line on the right side to help me roll my first piece down vertically straight.
Here are 10 easy steps to install Peel and Stick wallpaper in your home:
- Choose your Peel and Stick wallpaper (here are a few good options!)
- Get an Exacto Knife and Smoothing tool – MUST HAVE!
- Clean the wall you plan to wallpaper (dust free is the way to be!)
- Hold up your wallpaper (backing still on) on the top left of your wall and draw a vertical line on the right side of where your wallpaper width will end (line doesn’t have to go the full wall length, just to get you started rolling straight)
- Peel off about 8 inches of your wallpaper backing
- Starting on the top left of your wall, place the wallpaper with a few inches going over the top of the wall (you will trim later!) and roll it down
- Use the smoothing tool as you roll down TIP – If you get some bubbles, it’s ok to pull the wallpaper up a bit and reposition and keep smoothing
- As you get to the bottom of the wall, use your exacto knife to trim along the baseboard
- For the next strip, line up the pattern and roll and smooth again. Continue as needed across the wall.
- At the end, trim the excess across the top wall with your exacto knife (or you can trim as you go!) TIP – When you get to the far-right wall, feel free to pre-trim it a bit if there’s a wide section to cut off. Just don’t trim too much!
All done!
And you are done! You have 10 easy steps to install Peel and Stick wallpaper on your wall or accent wall. I promise you, your room WILL be transformed! And you can get some great prices on Peel and Stick Wallpaper at Amazon. Make sure to check that the length of a roll will be long enough for your wall!
Additionally, you can also transform a tv stand, a bookshelf, your cabinets, or anywhere else your imagination takes you! My husband and I built a console cabinet and I used Peel and Stick wallpaper on the doors. It sure did turn out super cute (I’ll showcase this console cabinet in a future post!)!
