Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for small areas.

I read all the reviews and anticipated color differences between the rolls. I ordered double as many as I needed to be able to choose the same consistent shade. Upon opening the box, all 6 rolls were the same color, I even rolled out the ones I needed to make sure they are all the same shade and even took a photo. They were perfect besides the fact that it’s much darker than appears in photos, but still worked out for me just fine. (I do wish it was lighter!) I must say, I did not the perfect wall-crooked and also textured! It adhered just fine. The texture did come through a little but only a small portion of the wallpaper would be exposed-it was not a concern of mine to sand down the texture, nor do I have the time to do that. I do wish it had more adhesive, I had no trouble pulling it off multiple times and readjusting it to line up. I avoided touching the edges and corners. So far so good, right?I used this as an accent wall behind 2 mirrors in a med. sized bathroom. I calculated my strips to have only ONE seam showing. They lined up perfectly. Once I installed the wallpaper I noticed the color difference then. But not at every angle. Therefore, I truly believe that there is no color difference in the rolls, but a grain difference and how each strip reflects light. It it hard to avoid this problem with the nature of the shine that we all look for in this wallpaper. I think if I flipped one of the pieces "upside down”, the grain would reflect the same on both pieces. I was ready to pull it off, this was not ok. Then came up with an idea to adhere another strip to cover the seam. Might I say, it took 2 minutes to apply another piece on top of my seam- VERY EASY application. (Also my first time applying wallpaper). And viola! It fixed the problem for me. I would not do this on a large wall, but because so little is exposed-I accepted this as it looks nearly perfect. I am happy with my accent wall, I love the way it reflects light, I will not order this for a large wall, but for an area like this I will use again in a heartbeat.DISCLAIMER: I am waiting on another light to install (thank you amazon arrived damaged and is taking forever for the replacement) and having only one did not change anything as I took photos with, without light and multiple angles. The grain reflected different at most times but one angle, until I found a solution that worked for me.I used a plastic drywall smoothing spatula to help smooth out the paper but honestly my palms did a much better job because of the texture on my walls. An exacto knife and scissors to cut the length and then trim extra.I will update if there is any peeling at the edges, so far so good.
