After spending 10 weeks researching, sampling, and testing wallpapers from nine brands in a range of patterns, we found three peel-and-stick wallpapers that you can apply with confidence and (relative) ease, no matter your style.

We think shopping around for patterns is half the fun, which is why our top picks come in two distinct textures (smooth paper and fabric), have tons of patterns, and are easy to install. Our also-great pick is a worthy splurge, with hundreds of finely detailed patterns to pick from (but you may need some help installing it).

For this guide, I dove into recent scientific research, CDC recommendations, and industry standards on indoor air quality and materials found in wall coverings. I also interviewed Teresa McGrath and Nsilo Berry, both researchers at the Healthy Building Network. (HBN is a materials transparency organization for the architecture and construction industry. It shares information on building materials, and its database, the Pharos Project, received an award from the Environmental Protection Agency.) I also spoke with wallpaper manufacturers for the wallpapers we tested to inquire about the ordering process, lead times, application instructions, and clarifications on materials.

I also spoke with wallpaper experts in interior design: Kelly Finley, founder of Joy Street Design, an interior-design firm based in Oakland, California, and Shavonda Gardner, a designer who specializes in small homes.

Check your walls: Peel-and-stick wallpaper works only on non-textured walls. It does not work at all on textured drywall, including spray textures like popcorn and orange peel, brush textures like sand swirl and rosebud, or knife textures like knockdown and comb.

With these criteria in mind, we narrowed an initial list of 23 peel-and-stick wallpaper brands down to nine that we wanted to put to the test. We tested samples of each of the nine, putting them to an initial 48-hour stick-and-peel test. We immediately eliminated one candidate for quality and performance, and we moved on to test eight contenders.

To mimic the experience of installing wallpaper alone, we also called in full-size panels or rolls for each of the eight brands. We applied them in vertical sections in a hallway and the kitchen, and we left them up for a minimum of two weeks. After this mock install, we removed these sections and selected our picks.

The print quality on the samples we received was excellent, with crisp, fine lines and saturated colors. But tone did differ a bit from how it looked onscreen (which is why you should always order samples). There is a decent range of styles and color palettes to choose from, including truly small-scale prints (surprisingly uncommon for peel-and-stick wallpapers, which often reflect a bigger, bolder aesthetic).

In this round of testing, we limited ourselves to a manageable nine brands that would best meet a combination of the criteria described above. There were a few we considered but did not test this time. And we look forward to reconsidering and possibly testing them in a future update: Anewall, Artemis, Drop It Modern, Mayflower Wallpaper, NextWall, RoomMates, and Wallpaperie, among others.

Traditional or unpasted wallpaper comes without adhesive. It can be made from a variety of materials, including paper, fabric, and vinyl. To install it, you typically use a roller or brush to apply glue to a sheet of wallpaper. Then you hang the sheet on the wall and repeat.

Since peel-and-stick wallpaper does not require a wet adhesive (unlike traditional and some removable wallpapers), health concerns are mostly due to long-term exposure to ortho-phthalates (used to make PVC material flexible and pliable) and volatile organic compounds (or VOCs, usually from inks).

We considered but ultimately did not test AllModern, Anthropologie, Magnolia Home, Opalhouse at Target, or Society6, because at the time, they did not offer samples, one of our testing requirements. We also considered The Black Home but did not move forward with testing due to the limited number of patterns available at the time.

After removing the old wallpaper, I had to skim-coat the walls, sand them smooth, then prime them. I used Shieldz Wallpaper Primer and asked the hardware company to tint it as dark as possible since my wallpaper is almost black.

Measure the height of your wall. Roll out the wallpaper on a clean, flat surface. Then, measure your wallpaper and add a few inches to allow for trimming at the ceiling and baseboard (or, if you're doing a half-wall, the chair rail).

After hanging each strip, trim the excess at the top and bottom using a utility or X-acto knife and a straight edge. I ran my wallpaper smoother along the edge as I cut to ensure a straight line.

Installing wallpaper for the first time? You'll want to use a wallpaper that is easy to use, doesn't require special skills, and can be hung quickly. Here's my top recommendation for wallpaper for beginners.


 Does the idea of hanging wallpaper scare you? It used to scare me too!

There's so many things to consider with wallpaper: what are the different types of wallpaper? What kind of wallpaper is the best? Do you need to use wallpaper paste or not? How easy is wallpaper to hang, and how easy is wallpaper to remove once you tire of it? Should I do an accent wall or all walls? 

Not to mention the task of actually selecting a wallpaper pattern from the hundreds of thousands of designs available.

 

 Easy To Apply Wallpaper 

 Let's face it, even the idea hanging wallpaper can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be! If you're looking for easy to apply wallpaper, I've done the comparisons and know which kind is easier to hang than all the others. Read on for a very specific recommendation for wallpaper for beginners, even those who have never hung wallpaper before.


 

 What is the easiest wallpaper to install? Paste The Wall wallpaper! 

 For the absolute easiest installation, choose a paste the wall wallpaper in a faux grasscloth pattern. I've come to this conclusion after much trial and error, and a lot of wallpaper hanging. 

Before I get to why I think this is the easiest wallpaper, it's best if aI tell you about our wallpaper journey, the different kinds of wallpaper we've tried, and why I don't recommend peel and stick removable wallpaper, nor unpasted wallpaper (paste the paper) for the beginner. 

 Different Types of WallpaperThere are three main types of wallpaper which you might be familiar with: traditional, unpasted wallpaper paste the wall, unpasted wallpaperremovable or peel and stick wallpaper  With unpasted wallpaper, you will need to adhere the glue either to the paper (traditional) or directly to the wall (paste the wall). Traditional wallpaper also involves additional time to allow the glue to seep and bond to the paper. This is known as "booking". With Paste The Wall, there is no booking time required, you apply the glue to the wall and install the paper right after. 

 Removable or peel and stick wallpapers involve no glue at all. Removable wallpapers have a protective sheet on the 'sticky' side. You remove this sheet and directly apply the wallpaper on the wall. The challenge is, the sticky side can adhere to itself, like a giant saran wrap nightmare. 

 How Easy Is It To Install Wallpaper? 

 Ease of wallpaper installation depends mainly on three factors: the type of wallpaper usedthe pattern or repeat in the wallpaperyour skill level. There was a time when we too were afraid of hanging wallpaper ourselves and hired professionals to do the job. For this gorgeous Nina Campbell Swan Lake traditional unpasted wallpaper in Chloe's old bedroom: 

 

 and the Coronata Star unpasted wallpaper in our basement vintage bathroom, we had professional installers hang the wallpaper.

 

 

 Removing wallpaper was one thing we did DIY. After about five years, we tired of the yellow tropical vinyl wallpaper in the dining room and rented a steamer and replaced the wallpaper with crisp light aqua painted walls.

 

 

 We finally tried our hand at installing wallpaper, starting with removable wallpaper. We installed this faux brick pattern for the holidays:

 

 

 In the new house, we installed this blue toile paste the wall wallpaper in my home office. I even shared some unpasted wallpaper hanging tips.

 

 

 Bolstered by our newfound wallpaper hanging skills, we put this cheery gingham paste the wall wallpaper in Chloe's cottage bedroom:

 

 

 And finally this heavily patterned unpasted wallpaper on all four walls of our dining room:

 

 

 In summary, we've installed lots of wallpaper. As you can see, we progressed from seemingly 'easy' removable or temporary wallpaper to expensive, more challenging unpasted and heavily patterned wallpaper. Before you choose wallpaper for your next project, keep these tips in mind:

 

 Tips for Selecting Wallpaper   Removable wallpaper can damage your walls. We removed the faux brick wallpaper after less than a year and it took off paint in the corners that had been there for at least five years   Removable wallpaper is a two person job. It could probably be installed by one person, but trying to prevent removable wallpaper from folding on itself (it's like a giant piece of super sticky saran wrap!) while you simultaneously try to hang it is best done with a crew of two. This paper adheres quickly to itself and to walls and is not easily repositionable   Wallpaper with a repeat pattern makes for a more challenging/intermediate installation. Pattern matching, especially around corners, requires advanced skills   Unpasted wallpaper takes much longer to install. You spend a lot of time booking the wallpaper and waiting for the paste to soak before you can adhere the panels to the wall. There is also more work spent prepping your workstation and cleaning up. Depending on the type of paper, you might need a more specific type of wallpaper paste that can be harder to find.   Unpasted wallpaper is easier to install with two people. You can save time by having one person pasting and booking a panel while another person is hanging ready panels. This paper can be easily repositioned  More expensive wallpapers tend to be of the unpasted variety   Paste the wall wallpaper is quick and can be easily installed by one person. You can put the paste on the wall and immediately adhere the wallpaper. There is no time wasted. This paper can be easily repositioned   

 Wallpaper for Beginners 

 Taking all of that into consideration, you can see why paste the wall wallpaper is the easiest type of wallpaper to install for the beginner DIYer. Additionally, for an even easier installation I suggest faux grasscloth wallpaper for two reasons:

 

   You don't have to pattern match panels grasscloth panels. The random striations (horizontal pattern) are part of grasscloth's charm   Faux typically means the paper will be easier to use than the real or natural product. In this case, faux grasscloth is wipeable and less fragile than real grasscloth.   Personally, I love how grasscloth can add subtle texture, pattern, and colour to your walls. In Chloe's bedroom, we recently installed this breezy Bluestem Blue Faux Grasscloth Wallpaper from Brewster Home Fashions: 

 

 

 If you look closely, you can see the right and left edges of the wallpaper panels as the striations (the horizontal line patterns) don't quite line up. Since this is faux (ie. manufactured) grasscloth, there was a repeat pattern. However, when we did pattern match, the striations became obvious and looked more 'fake' because they were lined up; it looked like a horizontal stripe along the wall. As a result, we decided to intentionally not pattern match.

 

 

 Installation was very easy and we were able to put up three walls of wallpaper, including around doors and closet, in about 4 hours. It was our easiest wallpaper installation ever. 

 What do you think? Are you ready to tackle a wallpaper project? In my next post, I'll share some simple wallpaper tips for hanging paste the wall wallpaper and how to wallpaper for beginners.
