Quick answer
Installing Hollingworth Peel & Stick Wallpaper is a DIY-friendly project. Follow these steps for a smooth, bubble-free result in any room.
Why choose peel and stick wallpaper for a playroom?
Peel and stick wallpaper is ideal for high-traffic areas like playrooms because it installs without paste and removes without damaging walls. The Hollingworth panels are made from a woven fabric with damage-free removal, so you can refresh the look as your child's tastes change.
Step-by-step installation guide
- Prepare the wall: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any holes or bumps and wipe away dust. A smooth surface prevents bubbles and helps the adhesive stick. Skipping wall prep is the most common cause of bubbles and peeling edges.
- Measure and cut the first panel: Measure the wall height and cut the first Hollingworth panel to length, leaving about 1 inch extra at the top and bottom for trimming. Use a sharp utility knife and a straightedge. Always cut a little extra; you can trim the excess after hanging.
- Peel and position the panel: Peel back about 6 inches of the backing paper. Place the top edge against the ceiling or starting point, then slowly peel the rest while smoothing the panel with a squeegee or soft cloth. Work from center to edges to push out air. If the panel is crooked, gently peel it back and reposition within a few seconds before the adhesive sets.
- Smooth and remove bubbles: Use a squeegee to press the panel firmly, working from the center outward. For stubborn bubbles, prick them with a pin and smooth the area. This woven fabric is forgiving, but patience pays off. Don't press too hard; the fabric is durable but can stretch if overworked.
- Trim excess and repeat: Use a sharp utility knife and a straightedge to trim the extra wallpaper at the top and bottom. For the next panel, butt the edges together (no overlap) and repeat the process. Butting edges tightly prevents gaps; a slight gap is easier to fix than an overlap that creates a ridge.
