NuWallpaper Cream Terrene Peel & Stick

Quick summary: five stars for the paper design and quality of the finished install. Lower stars for removability and ease of use. I tackled a 10' angled stairwell as my first peel-and-stick project. Let me save you some agony, wasted money, and potential divorce by saying: don't do what I did. Long panel lengths and ceiling angles are probably not the best first-time project. That said—I LOVEEEE how this looks now that it's up. it was worth the agony. The pattern is lovely— whimsical and neutral at the same time. The repeat is forgiving and the color was happily a very good match to the online photos. The paper quality itself is substantial and I found that once placed/aligned correctly, it only needed minimal smoothing to work out any bubbles. I have a couple of bad creases (see below re: distortion) that I decided to live with, but even as bad as they are, the pattern camouflages it pretty well. Since this was my first project, I tend to think the downsides are more related to vinyl peel-and-stick in general as opposed to this specific project. This is both easy, and very not easy, to work with. If the paper sticks to itself, it's possible to get it separated but there's a very good chance you'll stretch the vinyl in doing so, which will make it VERY hard to work with when you try again because the section you unstuck may now be distorted. It doesn't take much to throw things off to the point where it cannot be properly aligned or smoothed again (see above re: creasing). Do everything you can to prevent it from sticking to itself. I would also say that while *technically* this is repositionable, I wouldn't advise doing so if you can help it. If you do remove it, you need to be super careful not to stretch the panel when you peel it off the wall (again, distortion/stretching.). And working with a full panel with all of the adhesive exposed is challenging. The bigest issue is that the paper took strips of paint off the wall when I removed it to try again—so now there's a painting project in my future should the wallpaper ever need to come down. And I ruined an entire 11' length because the paint that stuck to the back rendered it unusable again. Last word of advice is to be careful to keep the backer sheet whole as you're removing it. If you tear it off in pieces (so the remaining edge is still stuck to the vinyl) the edges of the backing paper thin out and it is VERY hard to get ahold of the edge to peel the rest of it off. You have to pick pretty hard to get at the edge which in turn can damage the wallpaper. One great thing about the adhesion is that it didn't appear to lose any "stickness" despite several repositioning attempts to get each panel started. Once I figured all of the above out, the process started to go much, much more smoothly. All in all—recommend this product but there's a learning curve for sure.

Peel and stick is always a little tricky, but I LOVE this print. It was very forgiving, did not rip, and I was able to peel it off and redo a few times. After that I had some bubbles that wouldn't adhere but it's very hard to see because of the place I used the wallpaper.

Ordered this peel and stick wall paper as a cover and a drawer liner for some cabinets. It comes as described and is very easy to install on the wall and medium difficulty in drawers. For the price (I paid about $26) it was a very good deal for 18 foot L x 20.5 inches W. I recommend this peel and stick wall paper for flat surfaces and it would work well for apartment and rental dwellers. Pros: - True to photo color and print - Print is fairly high quality close up - Easy to install on the wall, easily repositioned and sits well on flat surfaces - Adheres well to painted cabinets - Cuts easily - Seems do not have to look perfect for the pattern to still look good - Peeled off well without damage to the paint or surface below Cons: - The first 3 or so inches of the roll had a line of black print that I had to cut off - Thin, any imperfection in the surface showed and made it difficult to place without a bubble - Harder to place in drawers

This wallpaper is gorgeous. Easy to put up and can also be used to line cupboards, and use as accent on cabinets.

My first attempt at peel and stick. There’s a learning curve but was easy enough once I got going. I recommend buying the E-Z hang spray to allow you some wiggling and adjusting after you’ve placed it on the wall. Cut your piece before hanging it up and take the whole backing off before you start pasting, being careful to not make creases or let it get stuck together. Use a smoothing tool generously for air bubbles. It did take off some paint in areas where I had to remove and try again, so I’ll be curious to see how bad the damage is when I take it all down down the road.
