As a leading wallpaper manufacturer with a team of over 100 skilled professionals, we have identified a common challenge faced by our customers in home décor projects: post-installation issues such as uneven color, air bubbles, or weak adhesion. These problems often arise from selecting inappropriate materials or neglecting essential installation details. In this article, we will provide a professional installer tip along with some factory-recommended techniques to assist you in selecting and applying peel and stick wallpaper efficiently, ensuring a clean, fast, and bubble-free result.

Why Peel and Stick Wallpaper Is Trending in 2025

The peel and stick wallpaper trend is booming in 2025, fueled by the growing DIY and home makeover movement.

Homeowners are looking for easy, flexible solutions that let them refresh their spaces quickly — no professional help required.

Eco-friendly and fast-update products are also in high demand, as more people prioritize sustainable materials and low-impact home décor.

Popular styles in the US and Europe range from bold, vibrant patterns to minimalist, nature-inspired designs, making stylish transformations simple and accessible for everyone.

Common Challenges Our Customers Face & How to Avoid Them

Many of our customers experience common issues when installing peel and stick wallpaper: colors sometimes look different from the online image, the wallpaper may not stick firmly, or air bubbles and wrinkles appear during application. These problems often occur when extra preparation steps are skipped or the wrong material is chosen.

Runpwell experts recommend a few simple tricks to avoid these issues. First, always leave an extra 5cm margin when cutting your wallpaper for easier alignment. Start applying the wallpaper from the middle towards the edges, smoothing out any air bubbles and wrinkles as you go.

Here is our step-by-step installation guide to ensure a flawless finish:

Step 1: Prepare the wall surface – clean thoroughly and fill any small holes.

Step 2: Measure and cut the wallpaper – leave 5cm extra on each edge.

Step 3: Peel off the backing and start sticking – begin in the middle.

Step 4: Smooth from the middle towards the edges – press out bubbles and wrinkles.

Step 5: Trim the edges for a perfect finish – ensure clean corners and neat alignment.

Following these steps with Runpwell peel and stick wallpaper guarantees a smooth, professional-looking result every time.
