Avoid These Common Mistakes!"
- Do Prepare Your Walls Properly:
- Ensure the surface is smooth, clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or dirt.
- If your wall has been recently painted, wait at least 20 days before applying wallpaper.
- Do Measure Twice, Cut Once:
- Measure your walls accurately and double-check before cutting the wallpaper.
- Do Start from the Top:
- Begin application at the top of the wall, smoothing down as you go to avoid bubbles.
- Do Work in Small Sections:
- Peel off a few inches of backing at a time to maintain control and alignment.
- Do Smooth as You Go:
- Use your hands or a flat, soft tool (e.g., a credit card) to press out air bubbles as you apply the wallpaper.
- Do Test a Small Section First:
- Before committing to the entire wall, test a small piece to ensure proper adhesion.
Avoid These Common Mistakes!"
- Don’t Apply to Textured Walls:
- Peel-and-stick wallpaper works best on smooth, flat surfaces. Textured walls may prevent proper adhesion.
- Don’t Apply to Wet or Dirty Walls:
- Moisture or grime can weaken the adhesive and lead to peeling or bubbling.
- Don’t Rush the Process:
- Take your time to align patterns and ensure there are no wrinkles or gaps.
- Don’t Forget to Wait After Painting:
- Avoid applying wallpaper to walls painted within the last 20 days, as the paint may not be fully cured.
- Don’t Stretch or Force the Wallpaper:
- Pulling too hard during application can distort the design and reduce the adhesive strength.
- Don’t Skip Testing:
- Failing to test a small section could lead to issues with adhesion or compatibility.
