Starry Sky Wall Murals - Large Non-Adhesive Wallpaper for Living Room, Bedroom & Dining Room | Perfect for Home Decor, Kids' Rooms & Romantic Atmospheres

Let me preface this by saying wallpapering by yourself is not for the faint of heart but it is doable. I read a very thorough review on here prior to attempting this and found the majority of what she instructed helpful.I did use Suregrip which I found was a very good adhesive. I ended up buying two containers of it, likely because I’m a beginner and probably used more than necessary but wanted to make sure it stuck.Lining this paper up is definitely key and it’s good that you can kind of maneuver it until you can get it where you want. Starting each strip was a nightmare but I made sure I had my adhesive and smoother close at hand. I read that rolling the bottom and using a chip clip to hold the roll in place made it easier to install by yourself but I found this technique put too much weight and pressure on the top when the adhesive is drying. Also, when rolled, it doesn’t lay flat on the wall so you get more bubbles.I also read you should put adhesive on both the wall and wallpaper, but I found it made it too slick and it unrolled right off the wall. I added a lot of adhesive to the top of the wall where the strip started and then just a regular layer as I went a bit further down. I found this created a good bond at the top (after holding it in place for a few minutes) and allowed the paper to stick to the wall further down creating more support to help the top adhere.I smoothed the paper quite a bit and even held the edges down with the smoother while blowing the hair dryer on it on the cold setting to help the glue dry. I applied a generous amount on the edges of the wallpaper and a normal layer more towards the middle. I even glued over the top of the edges where each strip pieces together side by side. I found this created a strong bond and I just wiped away any excess adhesive.Once the strip was at the bottom, I used a straight edge scraper to press into the corner of the wall and baseboard and just used a retractable blade to cut the paper at the bottom. This was great for creating a straight, seamless edge.While this project was tricky, once you kind of get the flow of things, it’s not so bad. The wallpaper is gorgeous, durable and has like a silky finish to it. My walls were kind of textured so you can see a little bumpiness when up close but from further away it looks fantastic. It is easy to clean, especially with any excess adhesive. It has been a few days since installing and it seems to be holding to the wall very well. Will update if that changes. 10/10 recommend!
