We offer Peel & Stick (self-adhesive) and Traditional (non-pasted, paste-the-wall) wallpaper — both with a smooth matte finish. Use the comparison below to pick what fits your space and how permanent you want the install to be.

Peel & Stick (Self-Adhesive Wallpaper)

Traditional (Non-Pasted | Paste-the-Wall)

Yes — you can order wallpaper samples, and I highly recommend it before you commit to full rolls. Choosing the right colourway starts there: a swatch shows true colour, texture, and finish in your own space. Colours can look different in person than on a screen, and each room’s lighting — north, south, east, or west-facing, natural or artificial — affects how the wallpaper reads.

Once your sample arrives, test it in the room at different times of day (daylight and evening light) and place it next to your paint and furnishings so you can see how the tones shift and feel confident before you order.

If you have questions after swatching, email zabzablab@gmail.com.

You need accurate wall measurements first — then you turn width and height into area and compare that to the coverage on each product listing (roll size and pattern repeat).

Your wallpaper is supplied in panels designed to align edge-to-edge. Follow the panel order during installation and match the artwork at the seams. For best results, we recommend a professional installer — especially for large walls or detailed patterns.

Peel & Stick Wallpaper Installation

1. Prepare Your Walls: Make sure walls are clean, smooth, dry, and free from dust or grease. Peel and stick wallpaper adheres best to primed or painted surfaces without texture.

2. Gather Your Tools: You’ll need a utility knife, measuring tape, pencil, smoothing tool or squeegee, and a level.

3. Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height and add a few extra inches for trimming. Cut the wallpaper into manageable strips based on your measurements.

4. Apply the Wallpaper: Starting at the top of your wall, peel off the backing a few inches at a time and stick the wallpaper onto the wall. Smooth out air bubbles as you go using a squeegee or smoothing tool.

5. Trim Excess: Use a sharp utility knife to trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling, baseboards, and corners.

6. Reposition if Needed: Peel and stick wallpaper is repositionable within 24 hours, so don’t worry if you need to adjust it slightly after application.

Traditional (Non-Pasted) Wallpaper Installation

1. Prepare Your Walls: Walls should be smooth, clean, and primed. Remove any old wallpaper and repair any surface imperfections.

2. Gather Your Tools: You’ll need wallpaper paste (recommended for non-woven wallpaper), a brush or roller to apply paste to the wall, a smoothing tool, utility knife, level, measuring tape, pencil, and sponge.

3. Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height and cut wallpaper strips with extra length for trimming.

4. Apply Paste: Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the wall using a brush or roller. Avoid applying paste to the wallpaper itself.

5. Hang the Wallpaper: Starting at the top, carefully align the wallpaper strip and smooth it onto the pasted wall, removing air bubbles with a smoothing tool.

6. Trim Excess: Trim excess wallpaper at edges and corners with a sharp utility knife.

7. Clean Up: Wipe away any excess paste with a damp sponge before it dries.

General Tips

Peel & Stick is the usual choice for rentals: it’s removable when walls are properly primed or painted. Always check with your landlord, do a patch test if you’re unsure, and pick the most removable-friendly option for that product. Traditional wallpaper is an option if your lease allows paste-the-wall installs; removal usually takes more effort than peel & stick.

Yes, both Peel & Stick and Traditional (Non-Pasted) wallpapers can be used in bathrooms and kitchens, as long as you follow a few important guidelines:

Avoid Direct Water Contact: Do not apply wallpaper inside a shower, directly next to a bath, or anywhere it will be in constant contact with water.

Apply to a Dry, Clean Wall: Make sure the wall is completely dry and clean before installation. For Peel & Stick, the surface must be free of moisture for the adhesive to work properly.

Use the Right Paste (Traditional Only): For Traditional wallpaper, use a paste specifically made for non-woven wallpapers.

Ventilation is Key: Good ventilation is essential. If your bathroom has poor airflow or is very humid, the wallpaper may not adhere well and could start to peel.

General Advice: Our wallpapers are suitable for low- to moderate-moisture bathrooms (like powder rooms or half-baths), but not for wet rooms or areas with heavy steam and splashes.

If you’re unsure, message me with details about your space — zabzablab@gmail.com.

Gently wipe your wallpaper with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking fresh. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the print or surface. For best results, clean up any marks or splashes promptly.
