Thanks for the tip about the squeegee! I have textured walls too so I was wondering if I had to sand the whole thing before putting up wallpaper

[@KimagineDIY]

When I was about to install it I had the same inquiry. Luckily it has been staying up without sanding. My wall texture is called "orange peel" and the flexible squeegee really helped press the removable wallpaper into the texture. Thank you so much for watching and reaching out.

This video is excellent - I love how clearly you teach. I’m going through this process now - nobody explains how you’re supposed to get patterns to line up AND overlap the paper…. at the same time. So, I didn’t overlap. I lined them up perfectly. 🙄What a huge mistake. By the next morning, there was 5mm of white wall showing between papers. By that evening everything was loose, peeling off and those gaps had become a full centimeter. My advice to people is find a way to overlap, whether you want to or not and DON’t trim ANY of your edges for at least a week. Because I trimmed along the bottom of my overhead kitchen counters, and the bottom of the paper where my counter tile was, and now I have a huge white paint gap ALL THE WAY AROUND all of the paper I spent 3 hours carefully putting up. That was days ago. This evening, I got out my blowdryer, and painstakingly heated each piece up, starting on the right, and peeled them up, overlapped them, pressed them back down, heating all along the way so they got extra sticky. Had to redo all outlets, screw holes for shelves. What a mess. There are gaps everywhere I cut - seriously, don’t cut any edges until you know it’s stuck down and not coming off and has fully finished shrinking, or you’ll regret it. And heat helps (blow dryer on hot…NOT a heat gun).

[@KimagineDIY]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience! 😊 Your detailed tips and insights are incredibly valuable and will surely help others avoid similar issues. Overlapping and waiting to trim the edges are great pieces of advice. Using a blow dryer for extra stickiness is a fantastic tip too! I'm sorry to hear about your initial struggles, but it's clear that your perseverance paid off. Thanks again for contributing to our DIY community! 🌟

@Kimagine DIY thank you! And yeah, it is definitely out of my wheel house. I usually do car mods and then art projects from anime to beach epoxy so when I went to knock this out I started over-thinking the texture on the walls. Also didn't think about cleaning the walls so that is a plus hahaha

[@cesarberrios4133]

@4:23 - I would suggest turning off power to the outlet. You never know if the wiring to the outlet was properly insulated. One slip from the exacto knife and sparks will fly! Great video, though!

[@KimagineDIY]

Safety is definitely a top priority, and I appreciate you bringing up the importance of turning off the power. In the video, I made sure to include a reminder to "turn off the breaker" above the outlet, indicating the need to switch off the power from the electrical breaker. I'll ensure to explain the importance of this step more thoroughly in my future videos. Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback!

Thank tpyou very good . Where did you get that tool you had ? Looks great to work with. I should be able to do this but i have high cellings . Iv always done normal wall paper my dad taught me. This stick on stuff reminds me of the cheap stuff we used in the early 80s. Omg it was rubbish. It seems its come a long way. Id like to do my kichen work tops . Im on my own so cant afford new so id have to get something decent that lasts , hey its on me using it for now. Never no when 1 of my 4 adult kids will come home lol.

[@KimagineDIY]

Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your story! 😊 I love that your dad taught you wallpapering-how special! You're absolutely right, peel-and-stick wallpaper has come a long way since the '80s. It’s much higher quality now and can look fantastic when applied right, even on textured walls. The flexible squeegee I used is actually a tool meant for cleaning glass doors and windows, but it worked wonders for this project! You can check out all the tools I used, including the squeegee, here 👉🏼 amzn.to/3FoF8wB (affiliate link). Good luck with your kitchen worktops-I'm sure they'll turn out amazing! And who knows, maybe one of your kids will come home and admire your hard work! 😄

Does this leave a residue when it’s taken off?

[@KimagineDIY]

A huge thank you for tuning in and reaching out with your question - it's much appreciated! 😊 When I was applying the peel and stick wallpaper, you might have noticed that I pulled it up a few times during the video, and it didn't leave any residue behind. However, I haven't personally tried removing peel and stick wallpaper after it's been up for a long time. The product is advertised as renter-friendly, so it shouldn't leave a residue according to the manufacturer. If you have any more questions or need further info, feel free to ask. Happy decorating! 🏡🎨📺

How has the paper held up over the texture?

[@KimagineDIY]

So far it is still great! 😃. I still have to give credit to the type of peel & stick wallpaper I used (mentioned in the description) because it mentioned that it was 3 times thicker than competitors. I only have the smallest seperation between 1 of my seams because I didn't overlap it enough. It is barley noticable and I am still overall fully happy with the turnout😄. Thank you so much for checking out the video. I hope it is helpful.

does peel and stick wallpaper cause damage to the walls afterward (i.e. if you are trying to sell the home later?)

[@KimagineDIY]

A big thank you for tuning in and reaching out with your question - I appreciate it! 😄 As for removing peel and stick wallpaper, I personally haven't had to do it, but it's designed to be removable and is often considered rent-friendly. To ease any concerns, you could start by testing a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't cause any issues with your wall. Hope this helps with your DIY endeavors! 🏡🎨

[@robinwolfe3234]

Are you washing the texture off?

[@KimagineDIY]

No I am not washing the texture off. I am cleaning the surface so the adhesive will stick better to it. The peel & stick I am using claims to be thicker than other companies. I feel that also helped with the look. It is not as "Bumpy looking" as other thinner peel & stick wallpaper brands.

[@jeffreynana9753]

Great idea 💡

[@KimagineDIY]

How well does it stick to concrete walls?

[@KimagineDIY]

Thank you so much for watching and for your question! Although I haven’t tried using peel and stick wallpaper on concrete myself, I did some quick research to help out. I was surprised to find out that it was possible. Research states: Peel and stick paper can adhere to concrete walls, but success depends on the wall’s condition and the type of paper you use. Here’s a quick guide: - **Surface preparation is key**: Make sure your concrete surface is smooth, clean, and free of dust, dirt, and grease for optimal adhesion. You might need to wash the walls with a TSP solution or sand them lightly to create a better bonding surface. - **Consider the type of peel and stick paper**: Opt for thicker, high-quality vinyl wallpapers with strong adhesive backing for better adherence on concrete. - **Manage expectations**: While peel and stick paper can work on concrete, it might not be as permanent or durable as traditional wallpaper or paint. Be prepared for possible peeling at the edges over time, especially in high-moisture areas. Here are some additional tips: - Apply the wallpaper in small sections, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go. - Use a primer specifically designed for high-alkaline surfaces like concrete if the wallpaper recommends it. - Monitor the edges of the wallpaper periodically, especially in humid environments, and reapply if necessary. 😀Just a heads up-the texture of the concrete may show through the wallpaper, kind of like saran wrap over a bumpy surface. Good luck with your project, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!

[@aprilshowers3331]

Looks good but I’ve seen other examples where you can see the wall texture through the contact paper

[@KimagineDIY]

I completely understand where you're coming from. In the video, I give the wallpaper a ton of credit. The company mentioned that their peel-and-stick wallpaper is three times thicker than the average wallpaper, which helps with coverage. I've worked with thinner wallpapers in the past, especially when covering furniture, and I had a similar experience with the texture showing through. This particular wallpaper also has a texture to it, almost like a linen feel beneath the graphic design, which I believe helps mask the wall texture. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your feedback! 😊🎨

[@jenniferboston-manning1243]

Tried and took it down. Could not get the bubbles out. Going to try the squeegee

[@KimagineDIY]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your feedback. Don't worry, we've all had those bubble troubles! The squeegee might just be your secret weapon. If you've got a few stubborn bubbles, try poking a super tiny hole with a needle and then squeegee them out. It can work wonders!

[@John3.36]

Do you know what substance to spray on before hand so that you can take it down easily if you need to?

[@KimagineDIY]

Hey there! Thanks a bunch for watching and asking! Peel and stick wallpaper is designed to be renter-friendly and removable. While I haven't personally tried removing it after a long period, some suggest using a heat gun or hairdryer on a low setting to warm the adhesive and carefully peel it away. Always test a small inconspicuous area first. Hope this helps!

[@MsSunshine1469]

How long did it stay on before falling off the textured wall?

[@KimagineDIY]

Hello there! I'm thrilled to report that the peel and stick wallpaper is holding up like a champ. I'm just as pleasantly surprised as you are by its performance. The texture on my wall is known as "orange peel," and I have to give a big shoutout to the peel & stick wallpaper for its fantastic adhesive properties. Thanks a bunch for tuning in and checking on the progress - your support is greatly appreciated! 😄🏡🌟

[@gapch1964]

Love your wall & the wallpaper. How is the wallpaper holding up on your texture wall?

[@KimagineDIY]

Thank you. It is doing great! I still wish I overlapped the pannels more though (Difficult with the pattern I chose). I have slight seperation in the seam, barley noticeable. But it's still flat to the wall even with all the humidity from the washer & dryer. 😁

[@gapch1964]

@@KimagineDIY can you recommend a good two sided tape that will work with texture walls? Thanks

[@KimagineDIY]

I will do my best. There are a lot of variables to consider. What is the double sided tape for? How much weight is it holding? Is it for outdoors or indoors? Does the tape width or thickness matter? The wallpaper I used was a peel and stick. It didn't need any extra adhesives.

[@gapch1964]

@@KimagineDIY I can't paint my wall so I was going to use ram broad to add the wall paper then then try & it to the wall. Thinking outside the box 🤔🤔😊. Thanks for your input

[@KimagineDIY]

Peel & stick wallpaper is known to be removable wallpaper and renter friendly. Although I have not tried to remove it myself yet.

[@HOLLYSGREG]

Is there a peelable wall paint, similar to what they have for cars? Peel stick wallpaper does not work on my walls as the landlord has painted over velvet textured walls.

[@KimagineDIY]

Hello, and a big thank you for watching and reaching out - I appreciate it! 😊 Regarding peelable wall paint, I must admit I haven't come across that. You're absolutely right; peel-and-stick wallpaper might not adhere well to velvet walls. If you can get the green light from your landlord, painting the walls and returning them to their original color before leaving might be the most straightforward approach. You could even discuss approved paint color options with your landlord to save you the hassle of repainting when you move out (just make sure you get written approval). Good luck with your home decor plans! 🏡🎨😄

[@jordanadank4449]

Is this the same sticky paper I have seen people use to hang back splash in kitchens???

[@KimagineDIY]

That's correct! Peel-and-stick wallpaper can also be used for backsplashes in kitchens. It's a versatile material that can be used for various DIY projects. There are adhesive backsplashes with a 3D tile effect are more permanent, while peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed to be removable, making it a great choice for renters or anyone looking for a temporary update. If you're interested, you can check out my video where I installed a similar backsplash for my mom. bit.ly/KitchenBacksplashRemovableWallpaper Let me know if you have any more questions!

Question, so it's been a year now. Is the wallpaper still up

[@KimagineDIY]

Thank you so much for watching and for your inquiry! I'm delighted to say that the wallpaper is still holding up beautifully after a year. However, I did notice a small detail I would tweak if I could go back. In the video, I recommended overlapping the wallpaper by at least 1/8" to ensure a seamless look. Unfortunately, the design of this particular wallpaper didn't allow for overlapping without it being very noticeable. As a result, I have about a 1/8" gap in my seams now. Overall, though, I'm still very pleased with how it turned out. Thank you again for your interest!

[@violetrose25]

Thanks! I have knockdown texture so I was worried about doing this to my walls fearing it would not work. How long has it lasted? Can you share? Thanks.

[@KimagineDIY]

Hi, I think my wall texture would be similar to the orange peel and it has been doing great. Staying up for about 10 months now. I loved the brand I used. They stated the peel & stick was 3 times thicker than most brands. Depending on the peel & stick design the knockout texture may show through. It is removable, it didn't damage my wall when I kept lifting it off & trying again. Maybe test a small area?
