DIY Wallpaper Accent Wall in my Bathroom

make a statement with an accent wall

TIPS

If you choose something that does not have a repeated/symmetrical pattern, such as this one **Before you cut it** Make sure to measure the length of the pattern (specifically where it starts and stops on the wallpaper roll)   then the wall so you can calculate how to it match up correctly. Otherwise it won’t look right. I wasted at least 8’ of mine making this mistake.

Tools

• Sharp hobby or exacto knife

• Measuring tape at least 10’ long

• Wall-covering smoothing tools:

• Felt edge square, plastic smoothing thing?, and hard roller

• Pencil or eyeliner ;)

• Long ruler or something straight  

• A spray bottle if it’s not peel and stick wallpaper (read the description when buying it ). & for the love of god get yourself one that was bigger then mine  along with a “clean” sponge or cloth.

• I bought mine off amazon you can find the link here

Different types of and areas for accent walls

•Clean: Everything! Inside and out (windows, pressure wash driveway / siding). Hire cleaners its worth it, they will find spaces you would not think to do, and at least in my case, are much faster.
