Who's ready for another fun and easy DIY project? Today, we're going to take a look at a simple way to give your office a fresh, new look: peel and stick wallpapers!
Now, if you're anything like me, you're probably rolling your eyes at the thought of wallpapers. I mean, who wants to deal with the mess of wallpaper paste and the frustration of trying to align the pattern just right, am I right? But stick with me here (pun intended) - peel and stick wallpapers are a whole different ball game.
Peel and stick wallpapers are the perfect solution for those of us who want to refresh our office space without the hassle or commitment of traditional wallpapers. They're easy to apply, easy to remove, and best of all, they come in a wide variety of designs and patterns.

Before You Buy
1. Take a look at your wall
Consider the surface you plan on applying the wallpaper. The best surfaces for this type of wallpaper are smooth, clean, and dry. This means you'll want to avoid any walls with texture or dampness, as these can prevent the wallpaper from adhering properly.

2. Measure your wall
Second, make sure to measure your wall accurately before purchasing your wallpaper. You'll want to ensure you have enough to cover the entire area, taking into account any windows or doors on your wall. It's always a good idea to buy a little extra to account for any mistakes or misalignments.
3. Be patience
While peel and stick wallpaper is relatively easy to install, it can still be a little tricky for beginners. It's important to be patient and take your time during the installation process to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't go perfectly the first time, our wallpaper can be repositionable.
If your office is a cubicle, peel and stick wallpaper can also be a game-changer. You might not be able to knock down walls or install a skylight (a girl can dream, right?), but you can certainly take control of your cubicle walls. Peel and stick wallpaper is not just for those with four walls and a door - it's for anyone with a vertical surface and a vision!
So go ahead, make your cubicle a tropical paradise, or an abstract art gallery, or a serene forest landscape. The only limit is your imagination - and maybe your office's policy on cubicle decor. But hey, it's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission, right? (Just kidding, always get permission for office modifications!)
After You Buy
1. Prepare your wall
You must prepare your wall. This is a crucial step. Make sure your wall is clean and free from any dirt, dust, or grease. You can use a mild detergent or a simple solution of warm water and vinegar for this purpose. Also, it's important that the wall is completely dry before you start applying the wallpaper to avoid any issues with adhesion.

2. Plan your application
Next, before you peel off the backing, take some time to plan out your application. This is especially important if your wallpaper has a pattern that needs to be aligned. Mark out your starting point and end point, and use a level to ensure your lines are straight. This planning stage can save you from headaches later on.
3. Apply the wallpaper
Now, you're ready to apply the wallpaper. Peel the backing off the wallpaper, but don't remove it all at once. Start at the top and work your way down, peeling the backing off as you go. This will help you control the application and prevent the wallpaper from sticking to itself.
4. Smooth out bubbles and wrinkles
As you apply the wallpaper to the wall, use a smoothing tool (a plastic smoother or even a credit card would work) to press out any bubbles or wrinkles. Start from the center and push towards the edges. This step is essential to achieve a smooth and professional look.
If you notice a bubble or crease that you can't smooth out, don't worry! Peel and stick wallpaper is very forgiving. You can gently peel it off the wall and reapply it. Just remember to be patient and take your time. Rushing the process can result in more bubbles and creases.
5. Trim excess wallpaper
Once you're happy with the application, use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess wallpaper at the bottom. And voila! You've successfully applied your peel and stick wallpaper!
So, there you have it, a thorough and detailed guide on how to apply peel and stick wallpaper. This easy and quick method offers a stylish update to your office, without the mess or commitment of traditional wallpapers.
