Wallpaper FAQ
The three primary types of wallpaper are traditional (which requires paste), peel and stick (which has adhesive on the back), and pre-pasted (which has dried paste on the back that is activated with water).
It depends on personal preferences and skills. Unpasted wallpaper, like Ozscape Designs’, doesn’t shrink over time, meaning no overlap is required. It’s removable in one piece, offering vibrant colors and high print precision.
Non-pasted wallpaper is a wallpaper that requires separate paste for application. Ozscape Designs’ non-pasted wallpaper requires non-woven wallpaper paste, which is available in most DIY stores.
Unless you are using a peel and stick wallpaper or a pre-pasted wallapaper, generally, no.
A separate paste is required for application for non-pasted wallpaper.
It might be more challenging than pre-pasted or peel-and-stick wallpaper. Still, with the right tools and patience, it’s manageable. Detailed installation instructions are included with each Ozscape Designs’ non-pasted wallpaper purchase.
If removed correctly, wallpaper glue shouldn’t damage walls. However, it depends on the paste used during the installation. Ozscape Designs’ wallpaper can be stripped off in one piece, reducing potential damage. You eliminate the need for tape and floor coverings. It’s essential to weigh these factors when deciding between painting or wallpapering.
Yes, it’s possible, but having an extra pair of hands can make the process easier and quicker.
If you are using pre-pasted wallaper you would either wet the wall or wet the paper before applying.
You would apply paste to the wall or paper depending on the product instructions for non-pasted wallpaper.
We generally recommend left to right but it’s typically a matter of preference.
Check all panels and lay them out before commencing the application process.
Start from the most inconspicuous corner of the room.
It depends on the room’s size and the person’s skill level. For a small to medium-sized room and an experienced person the job can be completed in a day.
Wallpaper can add a touch of visual warmth. However, it doesn’t significantly affect the room’s temperature.
It varies based on the wall’s size and your experience. A few hours is typical for one wall.
Applying wallpaper to two walls can create a unique and modern look in a room.
While painting a room might seem faster, it often requires multiple coats and drying time between each layer. It can also require days of ventilation to remove the toxins from fresh paint smells. In contrast, wallpapering can often be done more quickly, with any of the Ozscape Designs’ wallpaper types.
This is subjective and depends on personal preference. Wallpaper on all walls can create a striking, uniform look.
Not necessarily. Ozscape Designs’ wallpaper, for example, prioritizes print quality, vibrant colors, and durability. We offer four different thicknesses.
Wallpaper can be more challenging to install and change than paint. However, Ozscape Designs’ wallpaper is designed for easy removal and vibrant, lasting colors.

Not always. It’s crucial to consider the value you’re getting for the price. Ozscape Designs offers high-quality wallpaper at an affordable price point.
Some may find wallpaper challenging to install and remove or not as durable. But Ozscape Designs’ wallpapers are designed to be easy to install, removable in one piece, and durable.

No, it’s recommended to only apply wallpaper on dry, clean, and smooth surfaces.

traditional Non-Pasted & Pre-Pasted Wallpaper
We recommend our Vinyl Peel & Stick Wallpaper for any humid environment.
Our Non-pasted or Pre-pasted wallpaper can be used in a bathroom under certain conditions. First, we recommend using common pastes which are made for paper-based non-woven wallpapers like Roman PRO-880 Ultra Clear (available in the US) or Methylan Direct (available in Europe) for non-woven wallpapers. Second, after the application, Non-pasted wallpaper can’t be in direct and consistent contact with water (inside a shower cabinet, right next to a bath, etc.). Third, most likely, it will not work if there are ventilation problems and extreme humidity in the bathroom.
Ozscape Designs non-pasted and pre-pasted wallpaper will stick to concrete. You will first need to clean the concrete. Keep in mind that wallpaper works best on smooth surfaces. For better performance on concrete, we recommend applying lining paper.
Our wallpaper is not recommended for textured walls to ensure the best possible performance and appearance of the wallpaper. However, we have found in tests that our Non-pasted wallpaper does stick to a variety of lightly textured walls.
However, we recommend ordering a sample of the wallpaper and keeping it on the wall for 2-3 days. If the wallpaper remains on the wall and is not peeling off, you can place an order. Nevertheless, none of the wallpapers will hide the texture of your wall after application. Therefore, pay attention to the surface of the wallpaper after its application on the textured wall to make sure you are satisfied with the outcome.
You can apply these wallpapers to paneling if the paneling is smooth. Keep in mind that over time, adhesives can impact the surface of the paneling, and we can’t guarantee that paneling paint will stay the same over time. Again, similar to application on wooden surfaces, make sure that you use a proper paste so it does not ruin the surface.
Ozscape Designs non-pasted wallpaper will stick onto a tile wall, but we recommend ordering a sample to ensure that tile joints are not visible after applying the wallpaper. In most cases, the gap between tiles is filled with grout, which is slightly below the surface of the tile, and after applying wallpaper, joints can be visible.
You can apply our non-pasted wallpaper to paneling if the paneling is smooth. Keep in mind that over time, adhesives can impact the surface of the paneling, and we can’t guarantee that paneling paint will stay the same over time.

We recommend our vinyl wallaper for a backsplash.
However, Non-pasted wallpaper can be used for a backsplash. However, despite our approved fire ratings we recommend that you keep any wallpaper away from open fire and heat. In case of using it for a backsplash, we recommend checking what kind of paste is best to use on your backsplash area with a local paste vendor.
Applying Non-pasted traditional wallpaper to the ceiling is also an option. It will require extra effort since the application has to be done over your head. Also the paste has to hold more weight in comparison to vertical surfaces.
All wallpaper orders are shipped with full installation instructions.
Helpful tools you will want to have ready are a level, a brush or roller, a smoothing tool with rounder corners, a sponge or cloth, a utility knife, and a putty knife.
As you start the application process, use a brush or a roller to apply an even layer of the wallpaper paste for non-pasted wallpaper, covering the area where the first two panels will go. Make sure not to add too much paste on the wall in advance as adhesives tend to dry out quickly. In case any paste gets on the design, wipe it off with a damp cloth or sponge as fast as possible. For the full application process described step by step, visit Application tutorial pages
As previously mentioned, you’ll need wallpaper paste to hang unpasted wallpaper. It’s up to you what kind of wallpaper paste to use, however, we recommend using Roman PRO-880 Ultra Clear® for US customers, and the Henkel Metylan Direct® for EU customers.
Our wallpaper performs best on smooth walls. However, we’ve found that it can stick to a variety of lightly textured walls. We recommend ordering a sample of the wallpaper and testing it on your wall for 2-3 days. If it stays in place without peeling, you’re good to go. Remember, the texture of your wall may show through the wallpaper after application, so make sure you’re happy with the outcome.

Customer Reviews
"I let my 3 year old pick his wallpaper for the playroom. I couldn’t be happier with his choice! It was super easy to install and looks great!"
"Absolutely love it! I searched so many places before I found this print and I instantly knew it was perfect. Better yet it was so easy to use! I want to put wallpaper everywhere now."
"I had a custom paper designed for me and it’s perfect. I ordered 4 panels and it took about 2 hours to complete but I had a detailed pattern and I needed to line it up on slightly uneven walls. It’s a forgiving material so don’t be nervous."
