Here’s how to do it:
Prep your wall
Make sure it’s smooth, dry, clean, and painted (and wait at least 2 weeks after painting!)
Wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it dry completely
Mark a straight line
Use a level or a laser to mark a vertical line where your first panel will go — this is so important. Even if your wall looks straight, it might not be, and a tiny tilt at the start can throw everything off later.
Getting that first panel 100% straight makes the rest go on smoothly, trust us. It’s the secret sauce to a flawless install.
Peel stick (slowly)
Peel about 6–10 inches of the backing off the top of your first panel
Stick that top section to the wall and smooth it down
Continue peeling and sticking little by little, smoothing as you go
Smooth it out
Use a felt tool or squeegee to press out bubbles as you go
Go from the center out to the edges
Match your patterns
Each of our panels includes a 0.5 inch overlap to make installation easier and help patterns match up perfectly.
So when you’re ready for the next panel:
Slightly overlap it over the previous one by 0.5 inch
Match the pattern visually
Smooth it down just like the first
Trim the edges
Once the panel is fully applied, use a sharp utility knife to trim the excess at the top and bottom
