Wall Preparation
• Walls should be clean, dry, and free of dust before installation.
• If your walls have been recently painted, allow the paint to cure for at least 4 weeks before applying wallpaper, even if the surface feels dry to the touch.
Primer
• Applying a wallpaper primer is generally a good idea. It helps create a uniform, sealed surface so the wallpaper adheres evenly and may make future removal easier.
• Peel & Stick: Primer is optional on painted, smooth surfaces, but recommended on bare drywall.
• Pre-Pasted: Primer helps seal porous or patched areas and create a more uniform surface for installation.
• Non-Pasted: Primer is recommended to improve adhesion and allow for easier removal later.
