Stepping Stone Wallpaper

“Traditional” means that our wallpaper is applied using an adhesive that you paste on your wall, unlike peel-and-stick wallpaper, which comes with its own adhesive. Traditional wallpaper is known for its high quality and longevity—something you definitely want when it comes to such a statement making design element!

Because of the extra step of using adhesive, we strongly recommend working with a professional installer to hang your wallpaper.

Every rental situation is different, so while we can’t answer this with a yes or no, we can give you a little more information to help you decide whether our wallpaper is right for you.

Our wallpaper is "traditional” which means it is applied with an adhesive paste (unlike peel and stick wallpaper). If you choose to apply the wallpaper to walls in good condition, with a high quality primer and strippable adhesive, there should be very little to no damage to your walls upon removal besides the possible removal of some of the paint and/or primer that is underneath.

Our website wallpaper calculator was designed to help make ordering the right amount for your home as easy as possible! Measuring the width and height of the wall(s) that you want to cover and typing the numbers into this feature will automatically calculate how many panels you need to order. (No math? Magic!)

We strongly recommend ordering a little extra, as our wallpaper is printed in small batches and the colors vary per batch. If you don’t purchase extra up front you may have to repurchase your entire order in the event that you don’t have enough.

If you have any questions about how much you’ll need, please don’t hesitate to reach out—our product specialists are always happy to help. You can contact us here.

Wallpaper samples include:

An “actual size” sample: This shows the wallpaper’s real size—think of it as just a smaller slice of one of the full panels you will receive.

A “full wall” sample: This shows the wallpaper at a scale of 1:10 in a “room” that is 8.5 ft wide and 6.6 ft high so you can get a sense of what it will look like once installed.

Please note: Because all of our wallpaper is printed in small batches, there is some slight color variation batch to batch. This means there might be a small difference in color between the sample and the final product you receive.

Our traditional, non-woven wallpaper works best on flat, untextured white walls, as any uneven or colored surfaces will show through the paper once installed. White, painted drywall is ideal.

We highly recommend working with a professional installer to ensure that everything comes out perfectly!

Here are a few essential tips if you want to install it yourself:

PREPPING YOUR WALLS

Make sure your hanging surface is clean and dry, as well as free from any damage (like holes from nails)—you want it to be as smooth as possible! Paint on a coat of wallpaper primer. We recommend Roman PRO-909 Vinyl Prep® Clear Wallcovering Primer which is water-based. Wallpaper works best on flat, untextured white walls, as any uneven or colored surfaces like stucco or plaster will show through the paper once installed. White, painted drywall is ideal.

HANGING YOUR PAPER

We recommend using Roman ECO-888 Premium Clear Strippable Wallcovering Adhesive which is VOC free.Roll an even coat of adhesive onto your primed walls. Apply one panel on top of the adhesive; we recommend using a clean, soft-bristled brush or squeegee to smooth it down onto the wall. Before applying each additional panel, clean off any excess adhesive with a soft, lightly damp sponge. Then, apply paste on the wall for the next panel—be sure to line the edges up and smooth from the center out. Repeat until finished!

Note: This wallpaper comes in panels which are labeled A and B. The design repeats every two panels so please install them AB, AB and so forth.

Our wallpaper is designed to last (and look lovely!) for years and years. In order to keep it in its best condition, we recommend hanging it in a room without excessive humidity and spot cleaning it when necessary with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap.

We’re dedicated to using the safest materials for you and your little one. Our non-woven, traditional wallpaper is printed on non-toxic paper made from 80% cellulose and 20% synthetic fibers and is printed with Greenguard Gold certified inks.

We recommend spot cleaning our wallpaper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
