Review on Novogratz CO472 Constellations Removable Wallpaper by Alex Webster

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The design is nice but I had trouble installing it and am not a beginner

I have used NuWalpaper in my bathroom and another brand in my kitchen so I was sure I could install this wallpaper too. As I started removing the backing, I noticed that this wallpaper is much thinner and less stiff than the ones I've used before. When applying it, I also noticed that it is very stretchy. The first roll fit well, but it was very difficult to apply without wrinkling. I noticed that I pulled the strap as gently as possible to avoid wrinkles. Fitting the second roll and aligning it with the first was very difficult due to its elasticity. I had a lot of wrinkles which I ended up picking up with a planer knife and trying to iron out if I was lucky. One spot was so bad I just couldn't fix it, so I covered it with a picture. I tried peeling it off and reapplying it but that seemed to stretch it even more making it impossible to align the stars. UPDATE After failing with the first part of my wall I postponed the process to the next day. I think my husband is smarter than me and he told me not to do it when the weather is wet. So I tried again and found it easier to mount it on the wall. Significantly fewer bubbles/wrinkles and faster application. Still not as good as NuWallpaper and another brand I've used. But learn from my mistake and save yourself trouble by applying under the right conditions.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
