Measuring Your Walls
How do I measure my walls?
Here are some tips on how to best measure your walls accurately:
Exclude crown molding and baseboards from the wall height calculation to prevent unnecessary excess wallpaper.
Measure the wall height on both sides of the wall to account for potential slight variations. Utilize the longest measurement to prevent gaps between the ceiling and the wallpaper.
Measure the wall width at both the top and bottom, accounting for potential slight variations.
Include doors, windows, or any other obstacles in the measured area to obtain comprehensive dimensions for ordering with accuracy.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Our wallpaper measures 19 inches in width and is available in varying lengths to accommodate a number of common wall heights, including 4ft (48"), 6ft (72"), 8ft (96"), 9ft (108"), 10ft (120") and 12ft (144").
To determine the required amount of wallpaper, measure the width and height of each wall you intend to wallpaper. As some walls are uneven, we recommend measuring both at the top and bottom of your walls for total width and at both vertical ends of your wall for height - then use the longest and widest measurements taken.
Once you have the height measurement, compare it with the panel lengths we offer and round up to the nearest foot. If your wall is 8ft (96") for example, simply select the 8ft panel height.
Once you have the total width measurement in inches, simply divide it by 19" in order to get the number if panels you require. Round up to the next panel if needed. For example, if your total wall width measures 120", calculate 120 divided by 19, which equals 6.31. As this isn't a whole number, round up to 7. So a total of 7 panels at a 96" length are required.
It's also often useful to include a 10% extra in your final measurements as a failsafe.
Installing Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
Do I need to prep my walls before installing peel-and-stick wallpaper?
Although our peel-and-stick wallpaper is thick and hides a multitude of flaws on surfaces, we always recommend a simple prep by applying a wallpaper primer to your walls before installing our wallpaper. This helps to ensure that the surface underneath is a suitable base for our wallpaper and greatly reduces the risk of any damage to less solid wall surfaces when it's time for removal.
There are a few factors to consider before installing our wallpaper directly onto walls without prep:
- Surface Texture and Condition:Ensure the wall surface is smooth and free of imperfections. Peel-and-stick wallpaper adheres best to smooth surfaces, so if your wall has a rough texture or imperfections, priming might be necessary to create a more even base.
- Cleanliness:The wall should be clean and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. Any dirt or residue on the wall can hinder the adhesive's ability to bond properly.
- Paint Type:Consider the type of paint on the wall. If the wall is painted with a gloss or semi-gloss finish, the wallpaper adhesive may have difficulty sticking. Matte or satin finishes tend to work better.
- Wall Material:Different wall materials may require different approaches. While peel-and-stick wallpaper generally adheres well to smooth drywall, it might struggle with certain surfaces like heavily textured walls, brick, or wood paneling.
- Long-Term Goals:Consider how long you plan to keep the peel-and-stick wallpaper in place. If it's a short-term solution or if you anticipate changing it frequently, the need for priming may be less critical.
The two blog posts below also offer a more in-depth understanding of how best to install our wallpaper:

How To Put Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper on Textured Walls
In order to decide whether or not to prep your walls, it's a good idea to purchase samples of our wallpaper and install it in an inconspicuous area. This allows you to assess adhesion and potential issues for your particular wall type before completing the entire installation.
On what surfaces can I install peel-and-stick wallpaper?
Because of the strong adhesive properties of our premium textile peel-and-stick wallpaper, it is suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces.
As well as on walls, our wallpaper has also been tested for great results on wood furniture, concrete, cabinets, glass, tiles, refrigerators, metallic surfaces and smaller craft projects such as dolls houses.
We recommend that surfaces are flat and smooth so that the high-quality finish of the wallpaper isn’t affected, however our wallpaper has been successfully tested on slightly textured walls.
Take a look at our Installation and Care Guide for full details.
Can I put Huggleberry Hill’s wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
Applying our wallpaper over existing wallpaper is typically feasible, yet various factors such as the type, adhesion, texture, and condition of the old wallpaper and wall need careful consideration. Adequate surface preparation is essential to achieve a seamless application and ensure the durability of the new wallpaper.
Check out our dedicated blog article on this topic for essential considerations before opting to wallpaper over your current one.

Yes! Our peel-and-stick textile wallpaper has a high level of adhesion which means it is suitable for use in dry or humid environments.

What tools do I need to install peel-and-stick wallpaper?
You can install our peel-and-stick wallpaper with a few simple tools:
Plumb line or level
Utility knife
Tape measure
Scissors
Smoothing tool or dry sponge
Do I have to overlap my panels?
Due to the composition of our premium peel-and-stick textile wallpaper, zero shrinkage occurs over time, which means no overlap is needed. Our wallpapers are also designed as a Straight Match, which allows each panel to be butted up to the next one with an exact parallel match, meaning less waste too.
How do I install peel-and-stick wallpaper?
For detailed instructions, visit our Installation and Care Guide
Here's a brief overview of the installation process:
Unroll the wallpaper for an hour or two to facilitate installation and help it stay flat.
Locate a level spot on your wall to ensure straight alignment. If covering a single accent wall, start in the centre of the wall.
Gently and slowly peel the wallpaper from the backing, peeling about 10 inches from the top to start.
Apply the wallpaper to the level spot on the wall, pressing and smoothing it slowly from the top with a smoothing tool or dry sponge. Peel the backing gradually in 10-inch increments, smoothing as you go to adhere it to the wall.
Apply the second panel. As our peel-and-stick textile doesn't shrink over time, place the second panel flush with the edge of the first panel without overlapping.
Repeat steps 1-5.
Trim any excess wallpaper.
Final smoothing. For proper adhesion, perform additional smoothing after 2 days and again after 2 weeks to ensure longevity.
Looking After Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
How do I care for my peel-and-stick wallpaper?
It's simple! To keep your peel-and-stick wallpaper looking fresh, we recommend you inspect it for signs of wear and tear every 6 months. Clean off any dirt and marks as soon as you see them. Dust over your wallpaper regularly with a dry cloth or duster.
Take a look at our Installation and Care Guide for full details.
Can I clean my peel-and-stick wallpaper?
In most cases, your peel-and-stick wallpaper can be cleaned with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge that has been dampened with water. Make sure that all water is squeezed from the cloth or sponge and gently wipe the affected area until clean, applying minimal pressure.
In case of deeper stains, soapy water on a soft, non-abrasive sponge can be used. Gently wipe at the affected area, being sure not to rub with too much force so as not to damage the design.
Take a look at our Installation and Care Guide for full details.
Can I put my wallpaper near sources of direct heat or sunlight?
Our peel-and-stick wallpaper is designed for indoor use only. Avoid installing it in rooms with glass roofs or walls exposed to persistent direct sunlight to prevent excessive fading. It's suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, but ensure surfaces are clean and grease-free before application. Avoid placement near direct heat or open flames, like the backsplash to a stovetop.

Removing Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
How do I remove peel-and-stick wallpaper?
- Choose a Starting Point: Begin at a corner or seam where you can grip the wallpaper edge securely.
- Peel Away the Wallpaper: Gently peel back the wallpaper at a 45-degree angle, taking care to avoid overstretching.
- Apply Heat (Optional): If the wallpaper is resistant, use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm the area.
- Scrape and Remove: As you peel, use a plastic scraper to lift and loosen the wallpaper, working downwards in small sections.
- Eliminate Any Adhesive Residue: After removing the wallpaper, clean any remaining adhesive by scrubbing with warm, soapy water and a sponge or cloth.

Will peel-and-stick wallpaper come off in one piece?

Will removing peel-and-stick wallpaper damage the walls?
We always recommend that surfaces are prepped correctly with a wallpaper primer before installation. Applying a wallpaper primer creates a protective barrier that helps prevent damage to the underlying wall when removing peel-and-stick wallpaper.
