Frequently Asked Questions
How long after Painting should I wait to put up wallpaper?
​Although it is best to apply wallpaper to walls that have primer on them, it can be applied to painted walls. When it comes to putting up wallpaper after painting, it's important to allow the paint to fully cure to avoid any issues with adhesion. We recommend waiting at last 30 days before putting up wallpaper.

Can I put wallpaper up in a bathroom?
Yes, you can use peel-and-stick wallpaper in a bathroom, but there are some important factors to consider to ensure it lasts and adheres properly, especially since bathrooms are high-moisture environments. Here's a breakdown of what to keep in mind:
​
Preparation of the Surface:
-
Smooth, clean walls: Make sure the walls are clean, dry, and smooth before applying the wallpaper. Any dirt, dust, or moisture will prevent proper adhesion.
-
Dry the walls completely: Make sure the walls are fully dry before applying the wallpaper. If you're installing it after a shower or bath, wait until the room is dry and the humidity has gone down
Avoid Direct Water Exposure:
-
Shower areas: Avoid using peel-and-stick wallpaper in areas that will be directly exposed to water, such as inside the shower or around the bathtub. Excessive moisture from direct contact with water can cause it to peel off.
-
Use in well-ventilated areas: Install on walls that are not directly in the path of water spray, like above the sink or on accent walls.
Ventilation:
-
Ensure that the bathroom is well-ventilated to reduce moisture buildup in the air. Use an exhaust fan or keep windows open to prevent steam from lingering and affecting the wallpaper.
