Review on Peel And Stick Grey And White Brick Wallpaper - 24" X 120" Removable Self-Adhesive Backsplash For Kitchen And Living Room By Yancorp by Steve Cypert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy but make sure to align

This wallpaper was very easy to use. I took my kitchen cabinets down and put up shelves. I also did under the cabinets. I turned out great. You do have to pay attention to a couple of things. Yes it does tear very easy so be carful. And you can see through it if there are dark lines on the wall. But I had no problem with the patern or pencil lines on the formica. So for those who have never used Peel and Stick wall paper before I showed a few steps to follow. The first pic is the wall before the shelves are up. You really can't see where the lines of the wall paper unless you are very close. I did over lap the paper by an 1/8 of an inch just in case there was some shrinkage. As I said make sure to line the parern up corectly. There is a repeating pattern. As you can see one pick is lined up the other is not so you can see the difference. This wallpaper is NICE because it LINES UP on both sides of the paper. I want from left to right. I used pencil on the wall to set up guide lines and lines on the sides of the paper. Pencil erases very nice on this paper. So with the pencil lines I could set up where I was on the right and left of the paper. I lined up the blocks on the right side of 1st section with the blocks on the left side of the 2nd section. Depending on the legth of the wall and if one is longer than another you might haveextra paper on one end just so you can line them up. For this reason I would (like other) recomend you buy at least 1 roll more than you think you will need. It's better to have extra and return it. This way your batch is the same color. I ordered 2 extra rolls. I'm not done yet so I don't know how much extra I'll have. I used the guide line on the wall to match up with the guide line on the wallpaper. Before sticking it up I would make sure with both lines lined up they where level. I also used the level for the giude lines. And a ruller for measurments and strate lines on the paper. Then I would peal back about 4-5 inches and make sure I lined up my lines before sticking the whole thing. This can be a little tricky because you have to stick it a little bit to the wall. Lots of times it took a couple of tries. But it was worth it to make sure everything was really lined up. For me the guide lines where a life saver. I don't think I would have kept it straight without it. Once pencil line where lined up then press down the 4-5 inches then slowly peal back down smoothing from one side to the other. Then cut extra from top and bottom with a utility knife. I was very happy with the end results.

Pros
  • I stuck this to a paper backdrop and used it for flooring for a photoshoot. It worked out great.
Cons
  • I have no idea because l didn't use l misstic order but not pay much so put on side might use later
