Peel and Stick Wallpaper FAQs
How to measure wall for wallpaper?
-
Do not include crown molding and/or baseboard in the length of the wall to avoid ordering unnecessary wallpaper.
-
Please measure the length of the wall on both sides of each wall since the actual length of the wall might slightly vary. You need to use the longest measurement; this way, you can prevent any gaps between the ceiling and the wallpaper.
-
Please measure the width of the wall at the top and at the bottom of the wall since the actual width might slightly vary.
-
Include doors and windows (or any other obstacles) in the measured area.
Do I need a primer for peel and stick wallpaper?
-
You need to use a primer if you have bare drywall. For other types of walls, it is not mandatory.
How do I clean the wall before applying peel and stick wallpaper?
-
We recommend cleaning the wall with a damp cloth and letting it fully dry before applying the peel and stick wallpaper to ensure that the wallpaper will adhere properly to your wall. For better results, we recommend cleaning the wall with an isopropyl alcohol cleaning solvent. You can spray it on the cloth and wipe the wall with the damp cloth. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the solvent manufacturer. After any wall cleaning with a damp cloth, it must dry fully.
What tools do I need to apply peel and stick wallpaper?
-
We recommend the following tools for peel and stick wallpaper application: level, utility knife, tape measure, scissors, squeegee or plastic ruler
Beautiful things
Beautiful patterns for inspiring spaces, botanical prints that are worn as bold badges of positivity and personal empowerment... this is the foundation of our mission - to bring color and joy into lives and homes everywhere and encourage people to be authentic and happy at every stage of their lives. We believe that this joy comes from being surrounded and adorned by reflections of nature's beauty that Mother Earth has given us.
Meet the designer
Based in Cold Spring, NY, Katherine Kelly is a lifelong creative at heart and a self-taught surface pattern designer. You will often find her at home tending to her garden, and finding ways to grow pollinator habitats throughout her property in an effort to fight the decline in bee and butterfly populations. Most notably, she is inspired by her daughter Sofia's efforts to bring awareness to this cause through her Habitat Revival Club, which she has spearheaded at her school and throughout the Cold Spring community. Passionate about the beauty of nature, and the peace and serenity that it evokes, Katherine has developed a home decor and accessories line that honors our Mother Earth — ubiquitous and timeless, organic and abstract, perfect and imperfect, but most importantly, always authentic.

The process
The process begins with a curiosity about a particular botanical species - how did it come to exist? Is it native or invasive? We have deep reverence for the natural world around us and we are greatly inspired by the delicate patterns that are often revealed in the ordinary. We look for a deeper level of beauty, and often it's in its simplicity... In the studio, surrounded by ink, watercolor paint and music, it all begins with a sketch - organic lines on the page, basic shapes and elements. Sometimes it comes together with just the ink, but sometimes the imperfections of the natural world are revealed through watercolors. Our printing and manufacturing partners then bring the palettes and patterns to life through ethically sourced fabrics and their artistry.
