NuWallpaper x Social Social Classic Faux Grasscloth Peel and Stick Wallpaper, Mineral Blue

From someone who’s pretty experienced with wall coverings, including natural grasscloth, I’d recommend this dupe wallpaper. It’s thick, sticks very well and the color is exactly as pictured. I placed two separate orders and the color matched perfectly! But I do have some tips that made the process go smooth over walls that have lot of bums and prior terrible paint jobs that I didn’t want to bother fixing:1. Cut the wall paper into random sized pieces and turn some upside down for more variation. Not only it will look more natural, as natural grasscloth doesn’t have patterns, but your brain will appreciate it! Any wall defects, tone differences and slight inclination will be less obvious. The line up will be easier too and there’ll be less stretching and pulling, which messes up the glue.2. Get the rubber roller! It might seem unnecessary but, trust me, your hand doesn’t do a very good job at helping the wallpaper adhere and smoothing out the edges. It’s a huge difference!3. For flat and chalk paint, paint prep cleaner will help with adherence.Boy’s room in progress…

I was initially impressed with this wallpaper. It’s beautiful and looks great. I installed it in 2 different rooms. However after 6 months it is shrinking in several places and is coming away from the wall. It will not stick even with wallpaper paste. Will have to remove it all and start over.

I’m so happy with this wallpaper. I’m in the process of redoing my dining room on a budget, and this stuff has enough texture to give the illusion of real Grasscloth. I also can’t see a repeat anywhere in the pattern, so that’s nice, too (weirdly, I can see a pattern in the photos I attached that I can’t see in real life).For anyone worried about the adhesive giving out and causing the wallpaper to fall down, I highly recommend spraying a portion of the wall with Roman’s E-Z Hang before attaching your strip. It adds extra adhesive, and it has the added benefit of letting you slide the paper to make slight adjustments, which you normally can’t do with the peel-and-stick stuff. It also helps smooth out most of the air bubbles.

This was easily the quickest revamp, literally took one person 4hrs for wall included removing curtains and replacing. The matt paper is a winner and the dark blue for me really made our room pop. The art for this great job was to peel back an arm length of paper and place it with a little overhang to the ceiling. I used a small electronic light beam level to ensure placed straight then an old towel to run over paper to press it down. Once you reach next section, pull backing another arm’s length, use towel or cloth to run over it pressing to wall. Its wise to overlay the paper 1/2 inch as if you match it edge to edge it can slight shrink back and leave a gap. Once you reached the board at the bottom use fingers to press into top edge of board. Use stanley knife to cut excess at bottom and excess at top. Finally i cut a strip of double edge tape, peel back section of paper near the ceiling and run the tape near the top, replacing paper back into position. You are guaranteed an excellent finish and paper will not come down. The blue does stain fingers but easily washes off and there is a little odour but that goes within a few days. We did the two walls opposite each other so room is not dark - the finish is like a chic hotel

Only giving four stars because it looks amazing but it smells like armpits like rotten onions. I’m guessing the adhesive? Hoping that will go away in time for now the door is staying open and keeping the room ventilated. Installing was pretty easy but matching the seams was hard. I applied from left to right as it was easier for me and less cuts. I did two rows and over lapped a little to help the seam blend better. My walls are textured, so it bubbled some, but I used a flat plastic cake smoother that I had on hand, and once I added the wooden border on top, there was no issue. Definitely have a second hand for helping when applying if possible. I took off the backing a hands length at a time and smoothed it down in the direction I was applying. Made it go on with no hassle.

I really liked the color and stuck very well. The “paper” or vinyl is thin and stretches if you’re not careful. Also tore easily. Overall it looks nice, though.

I put this wallpaper on a bookcase and it looks fantastic. The color is perfect and it looks very much like real grass cloth. It was easy to put up, but I did have some problems with adhesion. The morning after installing it some very large bubbles appeared. I pulled that section up and sprayed some spray adhesive. It solved the problem.

Would give 0 stars if possible and would not recommend. I have very smooth walls and this would not stick. I have had to staple it in places to make it stay in place. It will be coming down immediately. Do not waste your money.
