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!
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!
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. ❤
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
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 😊
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.
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 😊)
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 😊🙌🏼
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
I have the exact same walls here in my Arizona home. Thank you. I tried skim coating my entryway as a test and it was so labor intensive...a nightmare.
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.
The fancy people with their fancy ideas of how "perfect" things should be, should never ever alter what you do for yourself unless your want to be fancy too. If that's what you want, go for it. People who do that have beautiful homes. But.. some of us are renters. And some of us genuinely just don't care. Which is equally valid and not really open to critique unless you want it to be. 💜
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.
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.
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!
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'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. Like you said, its the norm.
@@tammiRue02 , howdy neighbour, lol. Yup...blew my mind to hear that in many parts of the US "textured" walls are the norm, my nephew and Bro in law are dry wallers - I told them and they were also blown away.
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
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 sanded all of my walls BEFORE applying the wallpaper. It was a pain, but well worth the smooth texture after the installment of the wallpaper. Unless your wallpaper is very textured, the bumpy pattern will show up.
I’ve got like popcorn textured walls in my apartment and the bottom has beautiful wood paneling. Any suggestions on how to paint or cover it? The texture is almost sharp…it will tear up a sponge when I try to clean it. Your wall coverings always look so beautiful!
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.
its so ugly too
Some companies have renter friendly pastes and wallpaper that makes it easy to remove
@@pinkpugginzUgly? You can choose the print. If applied correctly, it shouldn't be noticable that it's peel and stick.

well, you improved it and it's YOURS.
The moon surface ones looks better with the textured wall as it adds to the vibe.

creativity is a gift from God. You have it in spades! Bless you.
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?!
That moon picture is beautiful!
You go girl😊 I'm with you.
Good job hun 👏 🎉 the walls look great
What your doing is so beautiful.
Wow this is brilliant. I've started at these orange peel walls for far too long feeling stuck! Thank you!
Replacing texture with texture is a good idea especially when the new texture is so eye catching and unique!
Omg the moon wall paper with the moon painting so cool
They sand down easily :)
I wallpapered on wood paneling...I love that you can see the grooves..
Exactly! I do the same.
I'm so happy to hear your advice. I've avoided wallpaper because of my textured walls.
I’ve heard this but your vid directly addresses it! My house has knockdown and it makes me sad! Lol. I’m going for it! ❤
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!
Looks amazing and same but we are in Colorado lol LOVE all your wallpapers!
Its amazing! 🎉
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!
Knock down texture is pretty though! Much more interesting than flat walls. Orange peel is another situation though 👀
I love it❤❤
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
How much does it usually take to cover a room? Do you have any Links?

Thank you. The previous owners went texture crazy. This makes sense. Thanks
There is also a wall liner product that you put on first and it will significantly reduce the texture effect.
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 😊)

I personally like those walks better than my flat walls that show every imperfection the builders made and did not fix.
Good for you!❤

Thank you for an amazing idea!

I feel you, every house I've lived in has had pimples and warts all over the walls, I'm fucken over it!!!!
In 1957 I had roughcast walls it was a Slavin plaster very heavy plaster and very expensive
Wish I'd seen this before I used some. Good tips from watching you do it

What does knockdown texture mean?
@@miranda13c it’s a paint tech y that makes the walls have a texture. Kind of like orange peel but much more texture.
