How to Successfully Wallpaper Your Space
Transforming your space with the wallpaper of your dreams starts at Printfresh! From animal-printed styles to lush, tropical-inspired looks, we have you covered with both traditional and peel & stick removable wallpaper options. Read along as we take you through the differences so you can decide which is best for your home project.
First Things First: Peel & Stick Wallpaper or Traditional Wallpaper?
Peel & Stick Wallpaper
Firstly, peel & stick wallpaper (or removable wallpaper) is a fantastic option for those who are looking for a temporary solution to a wall that needs a quick update. Whether you’re a college student wanting to make a big statement in your dorm, or you’re nesting in a future nursery and know you won’t need the same wallpaper up forever, our Printfresh x NuWallpaper peel & stick wallpaper from Wall Pops can make a huge, dramatic impact for however long you like or need it for.
Due to its temporary nature, this option is great for those renting an apartment, house or beachside bungalow (we can dream, right?). Renter-friendly wallpaper is removable, which is a huge benefit for those who can’t permanently alter their space. When it’s time to take off the wallpaper, no sticky residue is left behind, making it perfect for all kinds of decorating needs. Peel & stick is also just amazing for DIYers in general. Because installation and repositioning is seamless, hiring a professional is not necessary to apply your print of choice. Our removable wallpaper is also ready to use, which means the sticky adhesive does not require water to be activated.
We should note, our peel & stick wallpaper is only suitable for smooth, flat surfaces. The product does not work on textured walls, therefore we advise you look for a space that’s totally leveled.
So if you’re looking for an eye-catching accent wall in your primary bedroom, a pop of pattern inside cabinets or a real crowd-pleaser in an entryway, peel & stick removable wallpaper provides a fantastic option. Whether you’re keeping a print up for just a season or many years, application is a snap and removal is easy. You’re free to change your mind and evolve your style whenever you want, nothing is long-term! Now the hard part, deciding which style to go with first…

Traditional Wallpaper
Traditional wallpaper is most likely the kind of wallpaper you grew up with in your house. It’s typically applied and removed by a professional due to the complexities of its installation. Though traditional wallpaper is less DIY-friendly, it is usually made on a higher-quality paper with a variety of texture options.
Our traditional wallpaper options were screen-printed in York, Pennsylvania by York Wallcoverings. The company has been experts in the business for over a century. Known for not only innovative and fine artistry, but craftsmanship and tried and true tradition that stands the test of time, these wallpapers represent true luxury and can be found across 85 countries worldwide! Traditional styles like these also allow for added elements like metallic and matte finishes.
Since these standard styles are much more time-consuming to apply and remove, these kinds of options are great for long-term projects where you know you’ll love the look for years to come. Traditional wallpapers make for great investments in larger spaces like living rooms or main hallways. We always recommend you consult with a professional first when measuring and applying these types of wallpapers to minimize mistakes.
TIP: To calculate the square footage of a space, we recommend adding the width of each wall, then multiply the sum by the ceiling height. To determine the number of rolls needed, then divide the square footage of the space by the square footage of one roll of wallpaper. Always round up to account for pattern repeat and variation.
