Craft Room Makeover

Holy cow, I still walk by this room several times a day and give it a second glance in awe at the difference… and it’s not even finished yet! We bought this house in the fall with this den/extra room off of the family room and it. was. so. drab! I am all for a neutral pallete but the tan walls with the dark floors had me anxious to brighten this space up! Enter Walls Need Love, removable peel and stick wallpaper. Appropriately named since my walls DEFINITELY needed some love.

Such a fun craft room makeover! See how easy (and fun!) it is to transform a boring room into a trendy craft room with patterned wallpaper!

I selected the Scribble Dots pattern(and it took me several hours to narrow down the design I wanted because the selection is ga-ga-gorgeous!) since it’s playful yet still serious enough for a grown up space, too! Want to see the hideous before?

How to Apply Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Since I was tending a fussy 3 month old on the only free day I had last week to hang the wallpaper, my fab blog partner and twin showed up armed with a fresh Diet Coke fountain drink and ready to work! (She is the best, for real!) She got to work and hung the first strip in the center of the wall and worked to the right, then the left. Our number one tip is to have patience! It can be tricky to line the wallpaper up when you start a new panel, be patient! You can remove and tweak as needed, it’s strong enough not to tear so line it up and press down firmly when you’re lined up correctly.

PREPARE your walls.

Our biggest tip is to let new paint cure for 2-3 weeks. Otherwise, your paint will dry and the seams will dry with it and shrink, creating a gap in your wallpaper. TRUST US, DON’T SKIP THIS STEP! If it’s older than 2-3 weeks, wipe your walls down so they’re dust free and you’re good to go.

MEASURE your panels.

Because the wallpaper is heavy, it’s easier to pre-cut then apply. This is optional but makes it easier.

POSITION and APPLY.

Pull the backer paper down about 18″ or so to work with small pieces at first. When your top piece is lined up with the ceiling, smooth it down then keep peeling the back piece off and pull down as you smooth.

Update on Peel and Stick Wallpaper: Three Years Later

Hi, friends! We wrote this post back in 2016 and it’s currently March 2019. We’re happy to say that it’s held up PERFECTLY. We’re not exaggerating when we say the word perfect; no gaps in the seams, it hasn’t peeled, none of the corners have moved. We can’t say the same for other brands, unfortunately. Walls Need Love states: Peel and stick wallpaper application is just a more modern, better way to apply wallpaper. Tested and improved. We’ve developed and tested our adhesive backing for over a decade, to ensure that your wallpaper won’t separate at the wall edges or corners after just a year or two. We have found that to hold true, way to go, WNL!

  1. That wallpaper looks awesome. I put some Dulux paintable wallpaper on my walls over a year ago and still havent painted it. I cant decide on a colour. The stuff I used claims to hide imperfections in the wall. This peel and stick stuff that you used sounds a bit easier than the paste I used. It’s not as hard you expect hey? I checked out the site you bought from. They have some great stuff on there.

    1. It’s super easy… just peel the backing off and stick! That’s it. It’s repositionable too if it gets crooked or there’s air bubbles. It’s definitely a 2-person job 🙂

  2. Looks so good, I’ve really been in love with all the wallpaper choices these days. They brighten any space and add a touch of fun to any room. Can I ask where you got the “hello”? I’m on a hunt to find one!

  3. Love, love, love the wallpaper!!! What a difference it makes!! And i love polka dots. Looks amazing!! Love it!!!
