Everything You Need to Know About Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Today, I will show you guys how to apply peel and stick wallpaper. It really can change the look of your room, make an awesome accent wall, give you a simple room makeover or completely remodel the entire room depending on how much you want to install. The peel and stick wallpaper is also a pretty simple and straightforward process. I will be going over the pros and cons as well as showing which tools are the best to use.
Hey guys my name is Blake also known as Nailed it here on KZbin. I make videos about DIY projects. I hope you guys enjoy the video and let me know if you have any questions about it in the comments and I will do my best to answer them.

Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much for demonstrating how the wall looks after you peel off wallpaper. It gives me more confidence to go ahead and try it out!!

Yeah no problem! Glad I could help! It’s really cool stuff! I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

[@darlenerose8574]

This was a great video… right to the point, demonstrations matched audio, you only talked about relevant content and you addressed hiccups that could happen. Can’t wait for my DIY❤

[@Nailedityt]

I appreciate that!

[@kristenhall6676]

I been hanging paper for over 40 years. As a professional there are things that are necessary to do, like overlapping the paper it’s more work that doesn’t need to be done and if you don’t hold that razor straight while doing that you will see spots in the seems. Just butt the edges up. . You should always with out a doubt start with a plumb line at every wall if doing the whole room. You should always use a straight edge with a straight razor in a straight razor handle to cut edges, ceiling, baseboard, windows and door frames. And turn your plastic blade the other way when smoothing out it out. If there I slight bump on wall doing it your way you will rip the paper. I do realize you are not professional but maybe these tips will help you or others.

[@rebellife6647]

The way you explained is how my journeyman taught me. Single edged razor blazed. Razors and box knives can damage the drywall. Straight edge plumb line.

[@tim_sek]

Heads up to anyone attempting this nowadays - if you want long continuous uninterrupted strips, do NOT measure by sq footage. While technically there may be enough on the rolls for full coverage, what you're going to end up with is pieces that are cut up half way down the wall. Please instead find out how many continuous floor to ceiling strips you can get out of one roll (you may end up discarding 4-5ft). Then divide the width of the wall by the width of one roll to see how many continuous strips you'll need. If you don't do it this way, it's going to look patchy, and that's the last thing you want with contact wallpaper.

[@cathyruggieri-davidson3081]

Really appreciate how clearly you demonstrate taking on this project. Especially pleased you show how to calculate the square footage. Cheers!!

[@JesslynD]

Thanks, now I have confidence to do this myself instead of waiting around until my husband finds time to do it!🙌🏽 And ironically, your wife picked the same exact peel & stick I ordered.♥️😀

Thank you for adding time stamps below video. A time suck for you but super helpful for the viewer needing to review a section while doing a project. Your instructions are fantastic and videos the best for DIY

[@Nailedityt]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that! :)

[@davidsikalu6310]

Assuming you've had this on the wall for some time now, can you advise if peeling the wallpaper still doesn't damage the walls? Sometimes these adhesives are peelable right after but after some time it peels the paint off the wall. Is that Ur experience?

[@x_x4269]

i'm going to be doing this to all of my bedroom walls and this vid helps a ton!! you explained everything extremely well and i'm someone that gets easily confused but i understood every step. thanks!

[@TrishisFlabbergasted]

Great video! Living in an apartment gives me only so few options, and I really want to spruce things up this year! Would love to try this out soon!

[@jasminesahota4581]

Thank you so much for the bonus tips! It really comes down to the details of these tips, otherwise you get suck DIY-ing these small projects. I ordered some stickers for my rental suite, finally I can use these tips to stick them on. Love this video!

[@MaynorAjcivinac]

I'm a sucker for this easy-to-install wallpaper!

[@soundrasimpson7885]

I brought some brick wallpaper for my classroom, so I hope it works magically like you just demonstrated. Fingers crossed! 🤞

[@asiankabinde7818]

Where did buy them

[@amz805]

The only thing to note, That with time most peel and stick wall papers will become increasingly difficult to remove and could damage walls. The longer the adhesive is on the wall the more damage it could cause. Try putting wall papper covering over high quality painted walls and try to remove to change the wall paper after 1 year to reduce any possible damage that can be caused to drywall

[@ccraig2]

its fairly easy to remove with a heat gun or hair dryer, it’ll soften the adhesive so it won’t pull the paper off the drywall

[@katenicholson901]

I’m so excited to have found this, we’re hanging the same wallpaper tomorrow in our closet, and I was happy to see the tips.

[@petedeards]

Why? The wallpaper is grotesque

[@IsraelIsrael475]

You went over and beyond with details. Man so glad I watched. Now I know what I'm doing. Had no clue to calculate Sq ft. No clue to look for Sq ft calculation when buying the wallpaper. Man thank you so much! I now have confidence because I had no clue what I was doing when shopping for wallpaper. Thank you for the video. New subbie.

Thanks for doing the video. Very helpful. Getting ready to start my project.

[@natalieldarden]

You made this look extremely easy. I am not handy enough to do on my own, but it is a great option to switch up the look in a room quickly with no fuss. Curious to know how long it lasts, though. I'm sick of my painted walls, too easy to mar and gets dirty quickly.

[@Nailedityt]

I have two videos on my channel going over 2 different styles of wallpaper. I have not had an issue with either one of them! If you’re worried about it getting dirty, they can be washed off with a wet washcloth very easily! The only down side is if you do end up hitting the wall and you make a dent. It would be very difficult to repair because you would have to replace the whole row of wallpaper in order for it to look like it did before!

[@jeaniebroderick]

I’m a paper hanger and my customer wanted an entire foyer papered with this kind of paper. And up The stairs. I think this paper is mainly for accent walls. Huge challenge to match corners

[@katenicholson901]

It is surprisingly simple if you take your time. We used this same paper (in blue) as an accent wall in our closet, having never hung paper before, and by following the steps on here we were able to hang it, and make it look great.

@@EdinaViensBreakthroughCoach I was going to ask same thing. Because I did a test patch inside a closet and it ripped the paint right off but only in the sections where drywall putty was under the paint. So I’m curious though if this wallpaper is less sticky that contact paper…

Would this not stick “permanently” if it get in contact with moisture? I would like to use this behind the stove where steam and sauce splatter and grease splatter can hit it.

[@Nailedityt]

Just to make sure I understand your question. Are you thinking about taking it off one day and are worried about it sticking to the wall too much from the steam? If that’s the case I still think it would be ok behind your stove and you can wash this stuff pretty easily with a damp rag. Let’s say for example it did stick a lot when you peeled it off... the worse thing that would probably happen is that you would have to repaint that section of your wall. Either way I still think it would work fine behind it! Hope that answers your question! If not leave another comment and I’ll see if I can explain better!
