Peel and Stick Wallpaper, by Novagratz
You've applied Tempaper to your space a few times. Can you share any helpful tips or tricks that you learned along the way?
The biggest tip I could share is don't peel the backing off completely. Peel only a foot or two at a time as you work down the panel. If you completely remove the backing the paper will stick to everything in sight the toilet, the sink, and especially itself. I'm sure you can guess how I know this, learn from my mistakes.
When smoothing the paper, work from the middle out smoothing out on a diagonal. If things are looking too bubbled, don't be afraid to pull up that section of work and try again. Don't fret over the pattern matching perfectly at every spot along the seam. The paper can stretch as you work with it, or you may not have it perfectly straight every time so trying to get it perfect will drive you nuts. As long as the patterns are pretty close, they will appear matched as you back away. I pay the most attention at eye level and don't get too picky when it gets up by the ceiling or down at the floor.How does our peel and stick wallpaper compare to traditional wallpaper? Was the process easier?
I think both traditional wallpaper and peel and stick wallpaper have their pros and cons but for me, the big pro for using peel and stick paper is easy removal. I've taken down my fair share of traditional wallpaper and it is hard messy work. Peel and stick just peels right off the wall now mess or hassle.
This brings me to my second pro of peel and stick. No mess, no glue, no wetting which also means fewer tools. I love a project that doesn't require me to switch into my work clothes to get it done.What are your best tips for applying wallpaper in a bathroom?
There are going to be some tight spots in bathrooms. Behind the toilet and around the vanity are going to be difficult to get to. In these spots don't feel like you must use one continuous panel. When I installed my wallpaper, I cut the panel just below the toilet tank where the seam would be inconspicuous and installed it in two sections. For less conspicuous seams you can also cut along the pattern rather than a straight line. This makes the seam less visible.
Any advice for wallpapering around bathroom fixtures, outlets, etc?
When applying wallpaper around outlets and fixtures only adhere paper just up to the outlet then cut the hole for the outlet before trying to smooth it evenly. I also love to use wallpaper scraps to cover my outlet plates. If you use a scrap that matches the section of the wallpaper around your outlet plates you can make them completely disappear.
Do you think certain colors and patterns work best for a small space?
I love a big pattern for a small space like a bathroom or entry hall. I call these jewel-box spaces because when you open the door the wallpaper is a surprise inside. In a small space, you may also feel a little braver to go bold. I think the color you choose depends on how you want the space to feel. Dark colors are going to feel rich and moody. While light bright colors will feel happy and fun. If you have no natural light you may opt for light and bright, as I did, otherwise your room could feel a little like a cave.
How does the new wallpaper make you feel?
The Family of Cranes wallpaper is bright and fun so when I walk in the bathroom it makes me smile. A happy surprise inside...Plus I’m a huge color fan so I enjoy having some color in this small space that was once black and white.
How do your family and guests feel about the transformation?
Well seeing as this is the guest bathroom, I'd say they are excited for the new look. Hopefully, that doesn't mean they'll move in.
