“I absolutely love this pattern. I was looking for a toile aesthetic without any of the typical pastoral characters; and this fairy and mushroom design was perfect. For my plaster wall, freshly painted with a custom color to match the matte backing of the wallpaper, I ordered the glissade in Eggshell and Carolina. It was especially nice that this pattern repeats at the edge perfectly with no need to keep multiple panels in a specific order - they are exactly the same, no matter how many you use. I also liked how sturdy the paper was; it did not rip easily or crinkle or pick up lots of lint/hair as I worked with it. Actually, I needed to bear down pretty hard with my new exact-o knife blade to cut off the top/bottom edges when a panel was complete. Made me feel like I couldn't hurt anything in the process and could really push this wallpaper around. The tutorials do not explain WHY you want to leave an inch at the top of the wall instead of simply starting with the already straight edge, but I figured it allows for if the ceiling is not straight all the way across. I decided to just trust the process of loosely taping a panel in place, with an inch allowance at the ceiling, and got myself a spray bottle and a ladder. The brayer included in the materials is all I needed for smoothing the panels down perfectly (as long as they were properly wet on the back). Some helpful additions were a work lamp creating raking light to reveal any bumps I missed in the first passes, a damp cloth to wipe off excess glue, and a towel on the floor to catch all the spraying/dripping water needed to activate the glue. A second person to hold the panel rolled up and keep it from getting wet all the way down as you're trying to secure the top is invaluable, too. There was one panel where I mistakenly left several dry spots right in the middle, making little proud air pockets off the wall, so I was able to test how easily the panels can be removed when I needed to peel it back and correct the mistake. More water under the edges and a little extra waiting time for saturation but then the paper came off with no rips and was still not too soggy to be adhered a second time. The product is very much as advertised when it comes to ease of application and removal. It has taken me four months to do a 12 foot wall (one 2 foot panel a day when I had the time and energy), but now that I'm finished, I am overjoyed with the look! (my picture is only partial progress but I think that's helpful when other reviews here have a finished room photo already) This is a step towards the bedroom of my dreams, and I am so happy that Love vs Design had the perfect product for my endeavor! Highly recommend.”

Review by DaniellePeel and Stick Wallpaper Featuring Plaid Patterns Are a Chic and Intelligent Upgrade
Plaid is a versatile pattern that can come across as rustic, preppy, cozy, or sophisticated, depending on the color palette and line thicknesses. A dramatic black-and-white buffalo check lends a country feeling. A muted navy tartan provides a streamlined, classic flair. Delicate pastel plaids establish a casual, airy atmosphere for a reading nook or baby's nursery. With peel and stick applications, it's simple to have the whole atmosphere of a room shift as easily as applying wallpaper.
Peel and stick plaid wallpaper is a big win for anyone seeking to update a space without the permanence and mess of traditional techniques. It pairs a timeless pattern with the convenience modern life requires. For a fast weekend project or a full-room makeover, it's a fashionable solution that allows you to switch it up whenever the mood strikes.
Tips For Using Plaid Peel and Stick Wallpaper in Every Room of the House
Nursery: Use soft, pastel plaids such as muted blue, green, or yellow. Use the wallpaper on one of the walls behind the crib or the changing table to create a soft focal point without dominating the space. Use light color tones to maintain the sense of calm and airiness.
Family Room: Use rich, warm plaids such as navy, red, or forest green. Create an accent wall behind the sofa or where there's a fireplace to establish a cozy, homey ambiance. Use large-scale patterns to create a powerful design statement.
Master Bedroom: Create sophisticated and elegant bedroom setting with understated plaid patterns in muted neutral tones or timeless dark colors such as charcoal, navy, or taupe. Feature plaid wallpaper above the head of the bed to define the bed and bring the space down to earth with a feeling of dressed-up tranquility.
Kitchen: Utilize light, crisp plaids like pale blues or grays. Put them into use in a breakfast nook, on open shelving, or as a backsplash substitute (use moisture-resistant varieties, of course). Use it in moderation to preserve a bright, clean appearance in the kitchen.
Tips For Avoiding Installation Problems:
Despite the fact that peel and stick wallpaper simplifies the decorating process, here a a few small pointers to get a clean finished look. At Love vs Design, we desire the best experience for you, and below is what to consider.
Mis-alignment: Plaid patterns have crisp, linear lines, so any mis-alignment jumps out at once.
Tip: Begin by drawing a level, straight-up vertical guideline on the wall. Use sparingly and constantly check alignment every couple of inches. If you speed along, the result will be a "drifting" pattern that ruins the entire wall.
Textured Surface: Peel and stick wallpaper prefers to be applied to smooth, clean surfaces. If your surface has a very textured surface (such as orange peel or knockdown finishes), the wallpaper may not stick at all or could appear bumpy.
Tip: Sand the texture down or skim coat over the texture. Always apply a test piece first before attempting a whole wall.
Heat and Moisture: Not every peel and stick wallpaper is suitable for areas of high humidity such as bathrooms or the kitchen. Heat and steam will soften the adhesive over time.
Tip: When planning to apply them in wet environments, seek wallpapers that meet the standards of being "moisture-resistant" or "bathroom-safe". At Love vs Design we recommend our vinyl peel and stick or grasscloth materials as both are durable and easy to clean and are moisture-resistant.

If you desire something warm and traditional, opt for deep reds, forest green, or navy blue. If you desire something more contemporary, softer and muted tones will create the perfect ambiance.
How do I coordinate plaid wallpaper with furniture and other patterns?
The most important aspect of combining plaid wallpaper with your furniture and other patterns is balance. If your plaid wallpaper is on the stronger side, your larger furniture should be a more neutral and solid color. You can add subtle patterns such as small stripes, flowers, or texture in your pillows, rugs, and curtains while ensuring the palette of colors will bring everything together. Use plaid as your focal piece—let it take the focus, and let the remainder of the space support it.
How do I determine the right scale of plaid pattern for my room size?
The deciding factor in selecting the right plaid scale depends largely on the size and sensibility of your space. For big rooms or open plans, larger and bolder plaid creates a dramatic cozy effect. For small rooms such as bathrooms or children's bedrooms, closely set and small plaid prevents the space from being overwhelmed. And should you ever be in doubt, ordering a Love vs. Design sample is the perfect solution to get a sense of the pattern in your space before buying.
