When it comes to wallpaper, there has been a definite move towards paste the wall wallpaper as it offers convenience, hassle-free application and less mess. At Go Wallpaper, we get a lot of enquiries from customers wanting to know how to hang paste the wall wallpaper. We thought we’d share some of the more common questions.
What is paste the wall wallpaper?
Paste the wall wallpaper features a special backing paper that doesn't expand when it gets wet. You don't need to soak the wallpaper like traditional wallpapers, instead you apply the paste directly to the wall which saves a significant amount of time compared to regular wallpapers.
Does paste the wall wallpaper come in patterned wallpaper styles?
Yes, the paste the wall wallpaper collection is extensive, providing both plain wallpaper styles and patterned wallpaper designs. We love these paste the wall patterned wallpaper styles for the coming season:
Crown Signature Leaf Wallpaper in Russett

Do I need a pasting table when using paste the wall wallpaper?
No, unlike traditional wallpaper, you do not need to lay the paper flat and apply wallpaper adhesive so no pasting table is required.
How much quicker and easier is it to use paste the wall wallpaper?
Most people find that by using paste the wall wallpaper, decorating time is reduced by half. There is no pasting table process and no waiting time for wallpaper to soak. This makes it much quicker to use paste the wall wallpaper.
How much of the wall should I paste?
One of the common misconceptions of paste the wall wallpaper is that you can paste the entire wall before you start the application process. However this can mean that areas of the wall can dry prior to application. We suggest pasting one section at a time and working around the room in a methodical manner.
Will I be able to see the paste on the wall?
Yes, in normal lighting conditions, you’ll clearly be able to see where you have applied the paste to the wall, making it easy to hang your wallpaper.
Can I use paste the wall wallpaper over lining paper?
Yes, we always recommend doing this as it creates the perfect, smooth surface for hanging wallpaper. View our extensive range of lining papers to find the right one for your needs.
Will the wallpaper slide easily for pattern matching?
When applying paste the wall patterned wallpaper, we understand the importance of being able to slide wallpaper into position to ensure that the pattern matches up. Yes, paste the wall wallpaper allows you to slide the wallpaper into position as with traditional wallpaper products.
What happens when I want to redecorate?
One of the advantages of paste the wall wallpaper is that it easily peels off when it’s time to redecorate a room. There's no need for steaming or soaking, simply lift a corner at the base of the wall and peel upwards.
