Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between peel & stick and traditional wallpaper?
Peel & stick wallpaper has a self-adhesive backing that makes it easy to apply and remove without damaging walls, making it perfect for renters or anyone who likes to change their decor frequently. Traditional wallpaper requires paste (we recommend Roman PRO-880) and creates a more permanent installation with enhanced durability. Both options feature the same beautiful Katie Kime designs and high-quality printing.
Can I use wallpaper in bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes! Katie Kime wallpaper can be used in bathrooms and kitchens. For high-moisture areas, traditional wallpaper with proper sealing is recommended. For powder rooms and kitchen areas away from direct water contact, both peel & stick and traditional options work beautifully. Always ensure walls are completely dry before installation.
Should I hire a professional to install traditional wallpaper?
We recommend hiring a professional installer for traditional wallpaper. Installation can be challenging, and professionals ensure the best results. Find qualified installers at www.wallcoveringinstallers.org. If installing yourself, carefully follow all preparation and installation guidelines.
What supplies do I need for traditional wallpaper?
You'll need: wallpaper, wallpaper paste (we use Roman PRO-880), measuring tape, scissors, drop cloth, sponge, bucket of water, straightedge, blade knife, pencil, level, paint roller, tray, paint brush, smoothing tool, and step ladder if needed.
How long does wallpaper shipping take?
All Katie Kime wallpaper is printed to order. Full rolls ship in 15-20 business days, and samples ship in 1-3 business days. Need it sooner?
