Traditional wallpaper brings texture, warmth, and a truly high-end finish. It just takes a few simple steps — and maybe a steady hand — to get there. Follow these prep and install notes to make the process smooth, stress-free, and seriously satisfying.

• Use a trusted pre-mixed adhesive such as Roman Pro, SureGrip, or Solvite.
• Start with a filling holes, sanding rough patches, and cleaning your walls for the most seamless result.
• Double-check that your panels are numbered and aligned — pattern matching is everything.
• Mark a light vertical line with a level about 21 inches from your starting corner — this will guide your first panel.

• Pre-mixed wallpaper paste
• Roller + tray
• Level or laser guide
• Damp sponge or cloth
• Sharp utility knife + spare blades
• Seam roller
• Smoothing tool / squeegee
• Pencil
• Drop cloth
• (And, of course, champagne — optional but encouraged.)

1. Begin at the top left corner, lining up the first panel with your vertical guide.
2. Smooth from the center outward using a damp sponge or smoothing tool.
3. Wipe off any paste immediately with a damp cloth and allow the wallpaper to dry naturally.
4. Continue panel by panel, aligning the pattern seamlessly without overlap.
5. Use a seam roller for crisp edges.
6. Trim the top, bottom, and right edge with a sharp blade.
   

Step back, admire, and resist the urge to redecorate every wall in sight.

Keep your wallpaper looking its best by wiping away any paste residue immediately with a damp cloth — never scrub. Allow it to dry naturally and avoid direct heat or moisture during the first 24 hours.

When it’s time for a refresh, simply moisten the paper with water, wait a few minutes, and gently peel it away from the wall. No drama, no damage — just a clean slate for your next design moment.
