Rolled Wallpaper Installation

Renter-safe and ready in an afternoon. Have a measuring tape, level, utility knife, pencil, and smoothing tool on hand — and if your wall was recently painted, wait at least 4 weeks before applying.

Step 01

Peel the Backing

Starting at the top corner, peel back just the top portion of the liner. Take it slow — the adhesive stays workable, so you can reposition the panel without losing its grip.

Step 02

Align Your First Panel

Use a level to draw a light pencil line as your guide — don't rely on ceilings or baseboards, since they're rarely perfectly straight. Press the top edge into place along your line.

Step 03

Smooth as You Go

Working from the top down and the center outward, slowly pull the backing while pressing the panel onto the wall. Use a smoothing tool to push any air bubbles toward the edges.

Step 04

Trim the Edges

Use a sharp utility knife to trim the excess at the baseboard, ceiling, and around outlets or trim. Change your blade often — a fresh edge keeps cuts crisp and clean.

Step 05

Refresh, Restyle, Repeat

No paste, no damage, no second-guessing. When you're ready for a new look, the panels peel off cleanly and the wall comes back exactly how you left it. Share your space @_wallwear.

Sheeted Wallpaper Installation

Pre-cut panels make this the simplest way to transform accent walls, closet panels, and tight spaces. You'll need a level, a utility knife, a smoothing tool, and a few minutes.

Step 01

Trim to Fit

If you need to size a panel down for a door or odd-shaped surface, place it face-up on a flat surface and use a metal straightedge with a sharp utility knife. Cut slowly with light pressure for a crisp edge.

Step 02

Peel & Position the Top

Peel back the top few inches of the liner and align the top edge of the panel against the surface. Don't press it all down yet — just the top, so you can still adjust if it isn't straight.

Step 03

Smooth Onto the Surface

Once the top is in place, slowly pull the backing down while pressing the panel against the wall with a smoothing tool. Work from the center outward to push air toward the edges.

Step 04

Finish the Seams

Where panels meet, press firmly along the seam and run your fingertip down the edge to make sure both sides are fully adhered. A clean seam is what makes the finished surface look seamless.

Step 05

Anywhere You Like

Panels work as beautifully on doors, half-walls, and recessed panels as they do on a flat wall. When you move out — or just want a change — they peel off without damage. Share your space @_wallwear.

Wall Tile Installation

Transform backsplashes, accent walls, and feature spaces in minutes — no grout, no mortar, no professional help required. Grab a measuring tape, pencil, and a sharp utility knife or scissors before you start.

Step 01

Measure Your Space

Measure the width and height of your area and divide by the tile size to plan your layout. For the most balanced look, start from the center and work outward toward the edges.

Step 02

Dry-Fit Your First Tile

Hold a tile against the wall without peeling the backing to confirm placement. Mark a light pencil line along one edge as your guide — it'll be hidden by the next tile.

Step 03

Peel the Backing

Once you're happy with the layout, peel the paper backing off the back of the tile. Hold the tile by the edges to avoid touching the adhesive — fingerprints can leave marks.

Step 04

Press & Smooth in Place

Line the tile up with your pencil mark and press it firmly onto the wall, working from the center to the edges to seal it down. Run your hand across the surface to make sure it's fully bonded.

Step 05

Cut Around Outlets

For outlets, switches, or odd corners, use a sharp utility knife or scissors to trim the tile to size. Measure twice and cut slowly for a clean fit.

Step 06

Continue the Pattern

Repeat across the space, lining each tile up flush with its neighbor. When you reach the edge, trim any final tiles to fit — then step back and admire your work. Share it @_wallwear.
