GENERAL WALLPAPER QUESTIONS

  1. Traditional vs. Peel & Stick Wallpaper: Traditional Wallpaper is more permanent and not suitable for humid spaces. It's cost-effective but needs professional installation. Peel & Stick is temporary but can last years depending on the environment. It's suitable for rental spaces and DIY projects.

  2. Installation in Bathrooms: We advise against installing any wallpaper in humid spaces. Especially, Peel & Stick shouldn't be used due to adhesive failure.

  3. Determining Quantity Needed: Traditional Wallpaper is sold by double rolls with specifications found on product descriptions. Consider room dimensions, pattern repeat, and match type. Peel & Stick is sold by sheet; choose by ceiling height. Pattern lines up with a 1/4" overlap.

  4. Delivery Time: Production window is 2-4 weeks plus shipping. Expedited shipping doesn't speed up production. Samples take 1-5 business days in production.

  5. Cancellation Policy: Orders can't be canceled once in production. Contact us promptly to check the status.

  6. Returns & Exchanges: All wallpapers (Traditional, Peel & Stick, and Samples) are non-returnable and non-refundable. Ensure correct measurements before ordering. Report shipping damages within 7 days with photos. We aren't responsible for installation/removal costs.

  7. Discounts for Trade Professionals: Apply for our 'To The Trade' program if you're in a relevant industry.

  8. Understanding Pattern Repeat: It determines how Traditional Wallpaper matches at the seams. Types include Straight, Drop, and Random. Peel & Stick doesn't require pattern repeat considerations.
