Very pleased with the ease of application and the final appearance.
I started by cleaning my wall and then adding a level pencil line at the height I wanted the wall paper as I was not covering the entire wall. The line really saved me a lot of time along the way so I wasn’t guessing if I was even going down the wall and allowed me to overlap the rows without being uneven and leaving any gaps.
I then used a few inches over lap on the first piece to account for my trim. I taped the top with painters tape which helped to keep the wall paper from falling once I had it in position and adjusted the roll and backing. I used a squeegee from the dollar store and followed the instructions. I also had a TV tray and a stool (depending on where I was height wise on the wall) used to rest the roll of wallpaper I was using on while I squeegeed and pulled the backing. That made it much simpler to not worry about holding the roll or it getting in my way.
Once I had the panel down I used a felt block (used mostly for adhesive vinyl) and the squeegee to push the wall paper into the trim edges and a straight edge and blade to cut off the excess.
I purchased 4 rolls to allow me to do 3 complete rows furthest away from the door - leaving the layering closest to the door. The 4th roll was the excess/just in case roll. Layering did require attention to detail to match up lines but it was easy once the correct place was found and looks seamless.
A few other notes:
There are lines in the backing which makes cutting evenly incredibly simple with a straight edge and a blade. I did not have any problems with tearing and it was simple to gently pull apart the few times I accidentally let the pieces stick together. When I got to the final piece I did have to pull back and readjust a couple times which was simple and stuck just as well afterwards. There were some black lines from where they tapped the rolls but those were easily removed with a quick swipe of a magic eraser. I did end up using 3 rolls with a little scrap but I’m very glad I ordered the extra as I came very close to needing it when it came time to layer. Overall, this area took me about 1.5 hours to complete from start to finish - with the most time consuming parts being the trimming and finding the correct layering placement.
This makes such a huge statement on what was once the bland, unused wall that greeted everyone as they first walked into my home. Can’t recommend enough!
