Can I use peel and stick wallpaper on textured walls?Updated 4 months ago

For best results, clean, dry and smooth all surfaces. Peel and stick wallpaper will not adhere to unclean or textured surfaces. The truth is that all peel and stick wallpapers use a low grade adhesive. This is what allows the paper to be easily removed with no wall damage, but needs a completely smooth surface to stay put. Think of a big sticker, the more you peel it off to adjust the less it will stick.


For best results:

  • Apply onto smooth and clean surfaces
  • Peel and stick wallpaper is meant to be temporary (try pre-pasted for more durability and longevity)
  • Do NOT apply onto freshly painted or papered walls (let paint or wallpaper dry for at least 4 weeks)
  • Do NOT apply to lacquered furniture
  • May not work on textured surfaces
  • Smooth your walls before applying wallpaper
  • Use wall liner before hanging your wallpaper
  • Use spray adhesive or paste for extra hold


💡 Pro-Tip: Test in an inconspicuous area with a sample before applying your wallpaper rolls. Leave the sample on your wall for a couple of weeks to see how it does.
