One of my
popular posts is this one, where I blogged about how I temporarily hanged wall
paper. I updated this post a while back, but I intend to write today in more detail
about our experience when removing it and add some more tips.
If you
intend to temporarily hang wall paper, you can also take a look at this other post, where I wrote about other solutions besides the one I chose to try out. I
hope that helps you!
Now another
solution that I learned about since then....At the time, when I used a permanent wall paper, I was not aware
that there was removable wall paper already available in the market. Not that it
matter really, as I intended to use wall paper that I had purchased at
clearance anyway. But as a rental solution, for whoever is looking to have some
little extra love at the walls, removable wall paper could be considered. Now,
you can find it at several stores in the U.S. as this at Given Campbell, as in
the U.K. as wallAtac. I never tried removable wall paper, but I found this blog post
from Oh Happy Day, where they describe their experience with the removable wall
paper.
For what I
could learn, with removable wall paper you should have to paint your walls
after using it. That also happened to me after removing the double side
tape.... and for the same reason!
But lets
describe all from the beginning. I didn’t exactly follow all the
recommendations for the way that I chose to hang temporary wallpaper. I am
always trying to do some shortcuts... And in this case I skipped a step, I didn’t
use masking tape.
I don’t know
what you are expecting when removing the temporary wall paper, but I wasn’t inclined
having to paint a wall after the removal...yes, I am lazy that way! It may have
ended differently if using the masking tape. But, anyways I was happy with the
result at the end, and it still was easy to apply and easy to remove anyway...
So, for me the only issue was after removing the double side tape, the wall
had major leftovers of glue. Hence, painting the wall.
Feel free
to comment any questions you may have...! I would love to hear from you and help you the best way I can...!
Thanks for this! I was not aware that temporary walls were also available in the market!
