Some designs need to be installed in order. Before you begin check each panel for a panel number to ensure your wallpaper will be seamless.
- 1. Prepare Let paint dry for 30 days. Use zero VOC paint to prevent bubbles or peeling. To test unknown paint, install one panel and wait two weeks before finishing your installation. Wallpaper may not stick to heavily textured surfaces.
- 2. Clean Clean the wall with 70% isopropyl alcohol mixed with 30% water. Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge. Let the wall dry, and then repeat up to 3 times for maximum adhesion.
- 3. Sort Some wallpaper panels need to be installed in a certain order. Check your panels for numbers at the bottom and sort them into numerical order.
- 4. Measure Use a level to draw a vertical line 24 inches from the left side of your wall.This will ensure your pattern is level. Remove outlet or vent covers if needed.
- 5. Stick Peel away the backer 6 inches from the top. Line up your first panel with the line you placed on the wall. Leave a 1" overlap on the ceiling.
- 6. Repeat Overlap each panel by 1 inch. Use the squeegee and apply pressure to ensure each panel has securely adhered to the wall.
- 7. Trim Trim off excess. Use a sharp blade and ruler to trim off any leftover wallpaper.
- 8. Voila! You did it! Sit back, relax, and admire your gorgeous new wall.
