A lot of people don’t read the removal directions and just try and rip it off. Lots of manufacturers recommend heating it up a little (with a heat gun or hairdryer) so that it’s easier to lift off the wall without removing paint or anything.
The paste wallpaper is harder to apply as you have to overlap it because it shrinks. To line up the print so it shrinks just right is a skill. So people go with peel and stick. It's easier to fix the damage than live with wallpaper unaligned, I assume.
Agree 100%with you. I just remember at a old home I scraped and scraped truth 13 layers on one wall 24 for another wall plus pant over in between. The smell was awful
@@miac2382heat and humidity creates an inviroment that will allow anything sticky to become more sticky and it will peal off paint when it's time to remove it. I don't understand why people put any money into a rental other than cleaning supplies.
If you find you're having trouble getting your paper to stick to the texture, hit it with a blow dryer. You can use a heat gun but make sure you don't get too close or you're going to melt your paper or worse yet - melt it into the wall. Warming it up while you press it into the texture melts it just enough to make it a little more flexible. I can't stress this enough... You just want it warm, you're not trying to toast marshmallows on it! That's why I suggest starting with a blow dryer- maybe a low budget one lol.
The wallpaper you show in the clip with the dresser, gold mirror, is gorgeous! The texture makes it look better! Imo, that's the perfect example of breaking the so-called "rules".
Textured wallpaper was all the rage back in the day. If you get the right pattern that fits the texture it kind if just elevates it that much more! Work w what you got bebe!
They'll say because it suits the stucco and Mexican tile roof on the outside of the building, but I think it's really to hide the shoddy craftsmanship of builders who throw houses up too fast and love to cut corners. 😮
@@cc1k435 agree. And it also hides how not straight half your walls are when you try to renovate yourself. I live in AZ and it was a pain and tiring process but I smoothed out my walls myself and removed all the popcorn, and totally worth it.
AZ style is something, eh? Because our Sun City house was built in '69 and updated some since then, we have like three different kinds of texture on the walls, some newer style, some older. So, I'm putting up decorative clings on the kitchen soffit instead of wallpaper and I'm not doing anything to the popcorn ceilings (that are only on half the rooms) because I already had to have asbestos removal people in to get rid of the adhesive on our previous wood flooring!!
Hi my dad worked in construction and did a lot of drywall work back in the day I'd help him out with it as a preteen toba teen, he told me that walls need texture to help trap and release the heat in the walls so they can essentially "breathe" and not form cracks in so easily from extreme weather. It also applies to moisture and keeps moisture from collecting on your walls from developing mold like in the kitchen and bathroom
My family had velvet paper for a while and it was beautiful. I wish they still made it. It was gold and red and so so vintage and fit the old home so well
Thanks for the advice! I haven’t done anything with my walls since we bought our home because I hate the texture on our walls. You’ve inspired me to start looking at peel & stick wall paper to change up some rooms. ❤
Every wall in the house I am in it nothing but orange peel style textured walls. I can't stand it. I never thought that you could use wall paper on texture so thank you!
I’ve also heard you can purchase a poly wall, and tak that on the textured wall before applying the paper if you want a smoother look. I’ve had luck with peel-n-stick wallpaper and even used it to line drawers 😊🙌🏼
Or you could do it the way you hang traditional wallpaper. Prime the wall with suitable wallpaper acrylic primer, then size the wall with thinned paste (thin coat). When dry put the sheet on your table peel back 4 ft or so and roll on thinnest coat of the thinned paste you sized the wall with. Book and hang the traditional way. No sheets sticking together, guaranteed to adhere to texture or smooth wall, easy to slide the sheet, reposition and butt the seam. Easy peasy. I'm a professional wallpaper hanger with 40 years of full time installation. Key is thin paste, thin coat. Use a smoothing brush on textured walls or a plastic smoother on smooth walls.
The brands in this video: Wall Blush (almost all of them because I have a collection with them), Target, Otto Studio. I have also done this with Roommates, NuWallpaper, Chasing Paper, Origin 21, Love vs Design, Spoonflower (struggled on my texture), Tempaper… and I am sure I am forget some.
Thats pretty inspiring. I have textured WALLPAPER from the 60s on my walls (with layers upon layers of paint). I dont think that it can be stripped off but I've wanted to personalize my place. The texture is pretty fine, so I'm sure this technique will look great
Thank you for this. I live in Arizona too and have those stupid orange peel walls. I’ve wanted to do Perl & stick wallpaper but hadn’t because they always say your walls have to be smooth.

I wish you talked about how the walls look after removal of these peel and stick papers. Most have a half-life and if you leave them on for money, they can and will ruin your walls.
I do! It’s probably lost in others videos/shorts but not all peel and stick wallpaper is created equal and I do share my rip downs (just did one). There are brands using acrylic based adhesive that gets stronger overtime and there are brands that use newer adhesives like microsphere adhesive that doesn’t get stronger over time. Also the success of peel and stick is very dependent on how good your paint is. Flat/Matte paint doesn’t do well and paint that is not properly primed doesn’t do well…
@@Beingthebloomss Thank you for this! I had no idea textured walls were just the norm here in AZ. I wanted to wait until my lease ended and I actually laid eyes on my new spade to research renter-friendly wallpaper, but now I know what to look out for!
The trick is to use wallpaper that you like that matches the texture or have a pattern that goes well with the texture so it adds depth instead of clashing, like the marble pattern she did that looks organic, the texture adds to it making it look more organic
Thank you for posting this. I have a small utility room that is old school textured and I want to liven it up with wallpaper. Paint doesn’t make it look better since this is the really old texture that looks more like light bumps…lol. I will make sure I use this method you talked about. I’m sure it will be fine. Thank you 😊
I'm in Canada, I had no idea that textured walls where a thing until I was following a few DIY IG accounts, they are all in the US. One lives in FL, she just recently built a new house, wow what she had to go thru to get smooth walls vs orange peel walls. I couldn't believe it! I mean, we are talking about a home that was in the upper $800k. So what she discovered was that builders can not find dry wallers who have the skills to do smooth walls..which just blew my mind. Where I live (ontario Canada) I've never even been in a house in my 55 years of life, that had textured walls. Now, we do have textured ceilings, the California knockdown was super popular here for a few decades but smooth ceilings are once again back in. You have to pay extra to get a knock down ceiling. Anyway...I just found that super interesting that this is the reason her builder gave, oh yeah...she had to pay an EXTRA $5k to have smooth walls through her home, and they did a pretty crappy job, and she went back over most of the walls and re sanded, primed and painted them again. Yeash!
I’ve also lived in Ontario my whole life and the only time I’ve seen texture on walls is when my parents bought an old century house. It has old plaster walls which they’re slowly redoing. That’s wild that they can’t find people who can do it in FL (well clearly not well). So odd. My dad was in construction and did dry wall for years… smooth drywall is all he did really, lol.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! My house has textured walls and I’ve never been able to get posters to stay, so I’ve been too scared for the wallpaper. I’m going to try it now!
May I ask you where did you buy these lovely fake tiles? Love them ❤ About textured old paper, I would have done the same (sorry if there are some mistakes, I am French 😊)
My dad would have loved this! We redid a historical home. Ripped the plaster off to the lath board. When we sheet rocked the entire house.. yup... he made us tape and plaster 3 times every seam. His point was, textured and orange peel walls cover the crappy tape jobs bc the houses were built so fast. I'm so grateful for the time my dad made us take bc 25 years later it doesn't take a ton of paint and time to cover walls. And those textured walls are what glitter popcorn ceilings were back in the day.....
We have textured plaster walls and tbh it was clearly an art form when it was done in actual plaster. 🤷♀️ Also, sorry, but plaster rules: our energy bills are so. much. lower.
How is it possible to work the smooth wallpaper into the irregular texture? I think I’d skim oat, then hang the smooth paper. BTW, you paper is really nice!
I just moved to a place with what I assume is orange peel with semigloss paint and I hate it! It's impossible to disguise the previous tenants' nail holes. Flat walls could be spackled and sanded but these have a dull halo around all the nail holes. If I'm gonna stay here awhile, I'm wondering if there's a way to actually flatten the finish with plaster or something instead.
I hate popcorn ceilings and wall texture for this reason. Never be afraid to buy a sander/sanding pad that has a long rod and quickly sand all your walls smooth. Takes about a day. Just a messy clean up
I’m going through this nightmare right now. The kitchen. Switched out for peel and stick tile. And I’ve just had to redo it for the fourth time. Frustrated.
I ABHOR WHITE WALLS...I NEVER RENTED AN APT THAT DID NOT ALLOW ME TO PAINT THE WALLS EVEN AFTER PAYING A LARGE DEPOSIT. SO I CAME UPON A TV PROGRAM THAT SHOWED HOW TO COVER WALLS WITH MATERIAL USING BOTTLED STARCH. THOSE WALLS LOOKED ELEGANT...LIKE A PAINTING FROM THE RENAISSANCE. PERIOD. SO I STARTED BUYING MATERIALS ON SALE INSTEAD OF PAINT OR EXPENSIVE WALLPAPERS. MATERIAL IS LESS TIRING TO PUT UP THAN WALLPAPER TOO AND WALLS DONT HAVE TO BE PREPARED.. I CHANGED WALL COLORS AND PATTERNS ACCORDING TO MY MOOD OR THE SEASON AND WHEN I MOVED ALL I DID WAS PEEL OFF THE MATERIAL AND PACK FOR THE NEXT APT.
I helped a friend wallpaper, with stick on paper. We ended up getting wallpaper paste. The room was having the last piece being put on and her son swung a bat that hit the lamp. Ended up with a hole in the wall and wallpaper. It took me 4 hours to repair, plus having to buy a roll of paper. It was lucky that was the last roll of paper in that pattern. I used vinegar and water to remove the old paper.
More of a idea than a solution. Old fashioned wallpaper had the same problem. Used to be able to purchase a white wallpaper that would hide wall imperfections. Then the wallpaper was applied over the top. Need something similiar for easy to remove wallpaper.
I’ve heard so many horror stories about peel and stick wallpaper (mainly that removal is borderline impossible) that I’d be too scared to try it 😭
A lot of people don’t read the removal directions and just try and rip it off. Lots of manufacturers recommend heating it up a little (with a heat gun or hairdryer) so that it’s easier to lift off the wall without removing paint or anything.

The moon surface ones looks better with the textured wall as it adds to the vibe.
You can use a peel and stick wallpaper liner underneath. It makes super textured walls look perfectly smooth😊
I didn't know they had that. Thanks for sharing info!
Oooo good to know! Where do you get that?!
TEXTURE schmeckster! No rules in stick on world! ~ Keep Blooming Beautiful!
Replacing texture with texture is a good idea especially when the new texture is so eye catching and unique!
I'm so happy to hear your advice. I've avoided wallpaper because of my textured walls.
Wow this is brilliant. I've started at these orange peel walls for far too long feeling stuck! Thank you!
I needed this. I was so sad that peel n stick "wouldn't work on my walls". We're about to be two peas in a pod. 😅❤

The right pattern can actually make use of the texture walls neat.
That moon picture is beautiful!
Knock down texture is pretty though! Much more interesting than flat walls. Orange peel is another situation though 👀
I wallpapered on wood paneling...I love that you can see the grooves..
I cannot see the texture on this video, it looks so good!!
Thanks for this. I wanted to use peel and stick in my closet. The walls are like yours. I will now get started 😊
Totally possible just make sure to work the paper into the texture a little and you will be good!

So true- Beautiful design & job!😊

Exactly! I do the same.

There is also a wall liner product that you put on first and it will significantly reduce the texture effect.
I’ve also heard you can purchase a poly wall, and tak that on the textured wall before applying the paper if you want a smoother look. I’ve had luck with peel-n-stick wallpaper and even used it to line drawers 😊🙌🏼
I personally like those walks better than my flat walls that show every imperfection the builders made and did not fix.
Knock down is not “crappy textured walls.” It’s beautiful
People have forgotten the wallpaper remodels of the 90s...was hell to remove and redo.
