How to Use Wallpaper as a Removable Statement Art Piece

Next step was hanging the wallcovering. I used the Command Strips on the top and bottom corners of each panel of wallcovering. To keep the panels from curling away from the wall I put one Command Strip in the center of each panel on either side. Then trimmed the bottom to my desired length.

Finally the trim. Again I used Command Strips on the edges, started at the top and worked my way down.

As always my helper was nearby- so easy a child can do it! (J/K not really…)

After the trip was hung I was all finished! Some things I learned while doing this project: Make sure the Command Strips are stuck to the wall and not the wallcovering while hanging the trim. Clean any dust from the wood trim before sticking your strips, otherwise they will not hold. Make sure to press firmly down for the full 30 seconds the package recommends to ensure a secure hold.

The panels and trim have been up for over a year now and nothing has come crashing down on our heads in the middle of the night.

Here are some shots of the room all pulled together! (still working on a foorboard obviously…)
