How to Apply Wall Art

Wall Art Installation Guide

Choose Your Surface:

That’s right!  If you haven’t guessed by now, using a peel & stick wallpaper on your walls is just one of your many options.  Sure, walls are the most common amongst your choices of living rooms, bedrooms and home offices.  However, you can pick any smooth surface of your choosing, including (but not limited to) doors, cabinets, stairs and much more.

Please Note:  To ensure that your adhesive doesn’t get stripped or removed in the process, please verify that your wall has been previously primed prior to painting.  If you have recently painted your wall, please allow more than 30 days prior to wallpaper installation.

Many clients have successfully placed our wall Art on textured walls, however, please be aware that our products are recommended for smooth walls and surfaces.  Although we do offer a type of wallpaper best suited for textured walls, it is important to note that textured walls  have less surface for the adhesive to grab onto.

On painted walls, we recommend eggshell, semi-gloss or satin finishes for the best results.  It is important to follow our recommendations to ensure your walls or surfaces will not be damaged.  If you are unsure, it is strongly recommended that you order a sample first.

Prepare Your Surface

Use a damp cloth to wet and clean the surface.  After the entire surface has been cleansed, dry the moisture with a clean dry cloth, and allow your wall to completely dry.  Then, move on to the start of your wallpaper application.

Applying Wall Media

Pull the liner about 6’’ and start applying the panels from the top corner of the wall using the hand-drawn lines as a point of reference for alignment.  Simply apply the exposed adhesive area to the surface of your choice.  Again, don’t worry,  if you’ve made a mistake or wish to remove it and reapply it, go right ahead.  Our peel & stick wall art was specifically designed to reapplication.  However, please note that once the adhesive collects too much dust, it may not stick as effectively to the wall.

Once you have finished with the initial 6’’, peel the liner another 6’’ and repeat the process until reaching the very bottom of the surface.  Simply run your hands across the surface for added smoothness.

Should you find any bubbles, you can use a squeegee for additional smoothness or simply peel and re-stick your wallpaper.

That’s it!  You’re done.  Now it’s time to relax and enjoy your piece of art.
