“I wanted something timeless that both of my daughters could grow with, and Love vs. Design had exactly what I was looking for. The ability to customize the colors made it easy to create a look that fits their shared room perfectly while still feeling like it will last for years. The peel and stick wallpaper was easy to install, the quality exceeded my expectations, and it completely transformed the space. I’m so happy with the final result and would absolutely use Love vs. Design again for future projects!!”

“Goes up very easy. Fill a spray bottle with water and spray a small section of the wall and one sheet of wall paper and apply. Have plenty of time for adjusting if needed. Just brush any creases out and it looks great.”

“I bought a Lakeside bungalow a few years ago and have been doing everything in my power to make the house look bigger, not leaning into the charm of the coziness of the house. Well, that all changed a few weeks ago when I decided that wallpaper was going to be a new addition to my bathroom. I placed the order and the wallpaper was to my house within just a few days. It was packaged well and in perfect shape when it arrived. I read the directions and followed everything that I was guided to do to prep the wall, then I started hanging the peel and stick wallpaper… It’s not as easy as you think it would be. The paper is very high-quality so it’s thick and a bit cumbersome, but I found my groove. The wallpaper is beautiful. I can see a couple of places where I should have sanded down a bit more where old nail holes were because there’s a little bit of a rise in the wallpaper and it can develop an air bubble. But I was able to un peel in certain places and push the air bubbles out. I say all of this to say that it is gorgeous wallpaper, the quality is really nice, but it’s no cheaper than normal wallpaper, actually it’s a bit more expensive, and it isn’t easier to apply than traditional wallpaper. Those were some misconceptions I had about the peel and stick wallpaper. However, I do like to change my decor often and feel good about it being peel and stick; I can just peel it off when I’m ready for something new. The good thing about it is that I feel like the quality is nice enough to where it will last and stay on the wall until I’m ready to take it down. Now, I’ve just got to style the rest of the bathroom and I think I’m good to go! Thank you, Love vs Design for creating such beautiful patterns and such high-quality peel and stick wallpaper!”
Review by SunnyPeel 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.
Most Asked Questions About Plaid Wallpaper
What are the different types of plaid patterns available in wallpaper?

What colors are popular for plaid wallpaper?

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.
