Understanding Textured Walls: Different Types and Their Impact on Wallpaper

In your quest to revamp your living space with removable wallpaper, understanding the type of texture on your walls is crucial. Each comes with unique characteristics that may affect the wallpaper application process. But don't fret! With the right techniques and ONDECOR's high-quality wallpapers, your textured walls can become your canvas.

Popcorn Walls and Wallpaper: A Tricky Combination

First, let's explore the world of popcorn walls. Named for their resemblance to cottage cheese or popcorn, these walls became popular in the 1960s. Their bumpy texture, characterized by high peaks and low valleys, is excellent for concealing wall imperfections. However, the same texture that gives popcorn walls their distinct look can make it challenging to apply wallpaper. The uneven surface can prevent the wallpaper from adhering properly, and the rough appearance might show through the wallpaper.

Orange Peel Walls: A Light Texture for Wallpaper

Next up are orange peel walls, named for their similarity to the dimpled surface of an orange peel. These walls have a light texture that, while rough to the touch, is smoother than popcorn walls. This makes it a bit easier to apply removable wallpaper, but keep in mind that the texture may still show through, especially with lighter or thinner wallpaper.

Knockdown Texture: A Challenge for Wallpaper

Knockdown texture offers a more naturalistic appearance. Similar to orange peel texture, knockdown technique goes a step further by flattening the peaks and bumps. While this creates a more uniform surface, applying wallpaper is still a challenge due to the irregularities of the wall surface.

Skip Trowel and Swirl: Unique Textures for Unique Wallpaper

Moving on to skip trowel texture, this distressed and uneven texture is typically applied with a special curved knife. It shares similarities with the knockdown texture and can present similar challenges when applying wallpaper.

Finally, we have swirl texture, commonly seen on ceilings but can also be found on walls. This texture showcases swirling patterns of half-circles that can add a unique aesthetic to your space. However, the intricate pattern can make the application of wallpaper a bit tricky.

In the following sections, we'll delve deeper into the pros and cons of using removable wallpaper on these textured walls, along with tips to achieve the best results. With ONDECOR's peel and stick wallpapers, you're well on your way to transforming your textured walls into a stunning visual treat.

The Pros and Cons of Using Removable Wallpaper on Textured Walls

The world of interior design is ripe with possibilities, and removable wallpaper is an avenue that brings a fresh wave of creativity and style to your home. But like all design elements, using removable wallpaper on textured walls comes with its own set of advantages and potential challenges. Let's dissect both sides to help you make an informed decision.

The Benefits: Easy Application and Removal

One of the undeniable benefits of removable wallpaper is its simple application process. Unlike traditional wallpaper, peel and stick versions do not require any glue or additional adhesive. This means less mess and less stress during the application process.

Another alluring advantage is the ease of removal. If your design tastes change or you simply need a refresh, you can easily remove the wallpaper without causing any damage to the wall surface. This flexibility is particularly valuable for renters or those who like to frequently update their interior style.

Additionally, using removable wallpaper allows you to experiment with designs without a long-term commitment. You can switch between patterns, colors, and themes to keep your living space dynamic and vibrant.

The Drawbacks: Potential Adhesion Issues and Visible Textures

While removable wallpaper offers numerous benefits, there are a few potential drawbacks when applying it to textured walls. One of the major concerns is adhesion issues. As most wallpaper manufacturers do not recommend applying their peel and stick wallpaper to textured walls, the uneven surface can impact the adhesive's ability to stick properly. This could potentially lead to the wallpaper peeling off over time, particularly in areas with high humidity or temperature fluctuations.

Another possible downside is that the texture of the wall may show through the wallpaper, especially if it's heavily textured like popcorn or knockdown textures. This could affect the overall look and feel of the design.

Lastly, while removable wallpaper is designed for easy removal, on textured walls, there might be a risk of leaving residue or causing minor damage when peeling it off.

Despite these potential challenges, with the right preparation and techniques, you can still successfully use removable wallpaper on textured walls, which we will delve into in the next section. Armed with this knowledge, you can navigate the world of removable wallpaper with ease and confidence.

How to Successfully Apply Removable Wallpaper on Textured Walls

Unlocking the potential of removable wallpaper on textured walls is a rewarding process that can lend a fresh, vibrant look to your home's interiors. Here, we provide a step-by-step guide on how to achieve the perfect application, from assessing your wall's surface to the actual application of your chosen wallpaper.

Assessing and Testing the Wall Surface

Before diving headfirst into the world of removable wallpaper, it's crucial to assess your wall's texture. Texture, paint type, and room temperature are some factors that can affect the adhesion of peel and stick wallpaper. The more textured the surface, the more potential there is for adhesion issues.

That's why it's crucial to test your chosen wallpaper on your wall first. ONDECOR provides samples with each order which can help you assess the look and feel of the material and design in your space. This also gives you an idea of how well the wallpaper may adhere to your textured wall, enabling you to avoid spending unnecessary time and money on wallpaper that won't stick properly or look good on your walls.

Choosing the Right Wallpaper: Thickness, Color, and Pattern

The key to a successful wallpaper application lies in the choice of wallpaper itself. Vinyl and non-woven wallpapers are recommended for lightly-textured walls as they are flexible, allowing them to conform to the wall's shape and provide a smooth surface for the wallpaper to adhere to.

When it comes to color and pattern, the options are endless. Whether you want a bold, vibrant pattern or a more subtle, understated design, ONDECOR offers a variety of choices, all customizable to fit your unique style and space.

Preparing the Wall: Cleaning and Smoothing

After assessing your wall and choosing the right wallpaper, the next step is to prepare your wall. Start by removing any wall decor and cleaning the surface. Use a damp rag to wipe off any dust and ensure your wall is as dust-free as possible.

If your wall is heavily textured, consider applying a skim coat using joint compound or spackling to cover up any imperfections. Remember to sand the wall to a smooth finish once the compound is dry, then clean off any dust.

Alternatively, you can use a wall liner, which covers imperfections and creates a smooth surface for your wallpaper to adhere to.

Applying the Wallpaper: Tips for Best Results

Now comes the fun part - applying the wallpaper! The key to a successful application is patience. Take your time to align the wallpaper properly and smooth out any bubbles as you go along. Starting at the top, slowly peel off the backing while smoothing out the wallpaper onto the wall.

Remember, every textured wall is unique, and what works for one might not work for another. But with the right preparation, products, and patience, you can transform your textured walls with the magic of removable wallpaper from ONDECOR.

A Beautiful Mural on a Textured Wall

One such success story comes from an interior design enthusiast who fell in love with an amazing wallpaper mural from Pottery Barn Kids. The mural, a large tree with birds and butterflies, was breathtaking but the challenge was applying it to the textured walls of her Victorian home built in 1901. She recalls, "I had been dying to put up wallpaper in this house, but I kept reading horror stories about how you can’t do it on textured walls." Yet, she took the plunge and the result was a stunning mural that added a unique touch to her daughter's room.

Hand-Painted Patterns on Textured Walls

Another homeowner dealt with 'knockdown' textured walls, common in Colorado and other parts of the southwest. She wanted to personalize her home and decided to hand paint a pattern on a small portion of a wall in her laundry room. She then used ONDECOR's peel and stick wallpaper to cover the rest of the wall. The result was a beautiful, custom look that added character to an otherwise plain space.
