Install Beautifully. Install Once.
Two materials. Two straightforward guides.
Good paper hung badly still looks bad. There's a guide here for our traditional paste-the-wall paper and another for Peel & Stick, and each one goes slowly enough that you won't be guessing at the seams halfway up the wall. Rather not climb the ladder yourself? That's fair. We'd suggest a local installer through a service like TaskRabbit.
Why installation matters
To us, a beautiful wall is a small way of telling people they matter. Hang it well and it lasts for years, and the room feels different every time you walk in. Hang it badly and the seams lift, the pattern drifts, and even the best design looks tired.
So this page is here to help you get it right on the first try.
Luxe Traditional (Paste-the-Wall)
Our premium non-woven paper, hung with the paste-the-wall method. It's tough, it forgives a few mistakes, and it's made to stay up for the long haul.
Best for
- Permanent installs
- Busy, high-traffic rooms
- Textured walls that pass the prep tests
- Pros, or DIYers who feel confident
Peel & Stick (Including Luxe Peel & Stick)
Self-adhesive paper for a simpler install, with more room to change your mind. Good for renters, or a room you want finished by Sunday.
Best for
- Smooth walls
- Rentals
- Feature walls
- Getting it up faster
The most important step happens before installation.
Prep decides whether paper stays up for years or starts peeling in a few weeks.
Both guides open with a wall-prep checklist, and it isn't optional. Don't skip it.
- Let fresh paint cure all the way
- The wall has to be clean and dry
- The texture and paint finish need to work with paper
- Test a sample first, every time
