Since some patterns can be a bit tricky to align, we’re sharing a few simple tips and tricks on how to apply and align your wallpaper print.

When working with a repeated print, make sure you locate where the pattern repeats in the first two panels before moving on. For example, we are using our Moire Dots wallpaper below to guide you on how to determine where your repeat will match up.

How To Align Wallpaper

Locate the horizontal pattern repeat listed on your label.
Find a recognizable detail.
Adjust panels until the repeating patterns are lined up perfectly.
Carefully remove the back liner and apply to your surface.
Smooth out any air bubbles with your Tempaper squeegee.

Clean + Prepare Your Surface for Wallpaper Application

Clean your surface with a damp cloth, making sure the surface is fully dried before application. If your surface has been painted with zero VOC paint, we recommend wiping your surface with a 1:1 Isopropyl alcohol and water solution first. This may help with adhesion and will clean any dust or debris off your surface. We recommend this step if you’re unsure which paint was used on your walls.

For an easier install, remove switch plates and outlet covers prior to installation. Be sure to turn the electrical supply off prior to removing the switch and outlet covers and only restoring power once these covers are fully replaced.

Getting Started

To get started, gather all tools and have them ready within reach. Next, grab a friend or spouse to assist you. It’s possible to apply our peel and stick wallpaper by yourself but we recommend having another person helping you, as it may make the process a bit easier and more fun.
