Surfaces with a texture can get you into some trouble with our peel and stick substrate. It’s your world, of course, but it usually doesn’t end well. If you do have a slight texture to your walls, we'd recommend traditional wallpaper. If you are unsure if your wall is smooth please email a picture to hello@chasingpaper.com and we can help!
Also, check to confirm that your walls are smooth and have a premium eggshell, satin or semi-gloss paint. Matte finishes can be a bit trickier, as the adhesive can bond and pull the paint. If you’re applying fresh paint, remember that paint can take a minimum of 4-6 weeks to cure – so keep that timeline in mind! Paint needs to be fully cured before installing wallpaper otherwise bubbling or peeling may occur. Lastly, your walls should at least have primer (though primer + paint is ideal!)—we do not recommend applying wallpaper directly onto drywall.
