We also used it in our laundry room behind our washer and dryer. You can also find it in my office as well, behind my built-in desk. I only have good things to say about it. It’s all held up beautifully and cleans like a breeze. Next use a wallpaper brush (I used a paint roller with a clean nap on it) and push any bubbles or wrinkles out of the wallpaper. You want to smooth the paper completely. You can also use a wallpaper squeegee to smooth it. Create a modern farmhouse bathroom (or any room!) with this beadboard textured wallpaper tutorial from ‘ Joyfully Growing‘. They even show you how they made that wood trim rail!
It dents and dings easily. It isn’t as hardy as I was hoping. Below is a photo of our guest room. The bedside table in the room scrubbed the wall lightly while I was moving furniture in the space and this is what I was left with. Sadly, it has happened in a couple of places in the room since I wallpapered it. It’s a bit frustrating because once wallpaper rips or dents there isn’t much you can do about it. Finally, ‘ Shabby Love‘ used beadboard wallpaper to create that cottage look in her kitchen. She did walls and cabinets doors as well. Great makeover!Here is an example of using grasscloth wallpaper in a bathroom to add texture. Love the navy blue contrasting with the white shiplap! From ‘ Susan W Interiors‘. Allow the paste to activate for 5 to 10 minutes. Your wallpaper will have instructions particular to it on the label, so refer to those for the timing needed. I would activate two strips at a time and once the first strip was hung, activate the next two so I could work continuously. Do not activate them all at once. You can’t move that fast through this process!
Unfold your wallpaper – be very careful. This paper in particular had a tendency to rip in the beadboard crevices if I wasn’t careful. We have floor to ceiling beadboard installed in our master bathroom, as you can see here. I love the old home charm that it adds to the new bathroom remodel. Use an Exacto knife to trim the corners and edges. I used a metal spatula pressed into the seams and ran the knife along the edge for a clean cut. Be cautious if your paper is super wet because it can tear. Make sure your blades are sharp to avoid this. If you are looking to add beadboard wallpaper to your home I highly encourage you! Honestly, I’m going to show you how to install beadboard wallpaper and you will be amazed how much easier it is than installing traditional beadboard. Also – these tips will work for installing most textured paintable wallpaper selections you might want to try. I have a whole list of textured wallpaper choices at the bottom of this post.

Beadboard Wallpaper Supply List
This dresser looked beyond repair in the before photos from Pamela Field via ‘ Hometalk‘. But she removed the warped veneer and gave this piece new life with some textured wallpaper and pewter paint. She tells you exactly how she renovated this piece in her tutorial. It has cool antiquey look! Air bubbles are super noticeable. Installing isn’t difficult but because of the grooves and lines if there are any air bubbles you’re going to notice! The lines help to make the install easier, however they also draw attention to any blemish on the wall. Keep that in mind while hanging. This isn’t a worry when installing traditional beadboard. If you’re walls are not extremely smooth I would skip the wallpaper. Have old, outdated grasscloth wallpaper? No problem. Did you know you can paint it? Follow these step by step instructions from ‘ Sarah M Levy‘. This pattern & color is so fresh and pretty! This goes to show that just because you buy white textured wallpaper, doesn’t mean it has to stay that way! This paintable embossed wallpaper is from ‘ Joss + Main‘. Here are the directions to hang your beadboard wallpaper. Honestly, the beadboard was a dream to hang compared to the floral. You won’t find a tutorial here for that floral wallpaper, it wasn’t impossible, but I wasn’t great at hanging it!
Line up the side of your wallpaper with your plumb line and gently begin to lay the paper down from the line sideways. Use your hand to kind of roll the paper onto the wall. Pull up and rub flat until you get it laid down without any major wrinkles. Another idea I had for using that textured wallpaper was on our master bathroom walls. When the previous owner put the house on the market in 2005, he hired some” fly by night” workers/painters. There had been wallpaper on it but it was really old like late 1970’s and they tried to get it off but it was too time consuming and they were under time restraints so they just painted over it with latex paint. You can still see some of the wallpaper edges. I’ve either got to sand all the walls down or use a textured paint but thought about the textured wallpaper. I worked with an apron on and it was a lifesaver on this project. That is probably one of my best tips for you! Wallpapering is a touch messy.Start with a plumb line. Do this by drawing a vertical line away from the corner or start point you will begin to hang the wallpaper. This line should be marked off at width slightly shorter than your paper so that you can run the edge of the paper down the line and over the beginning corner. Be sure to use a long level or hang a plumb line to start off straight and correct. Your whole project hangs on the straightness of this line! Trust me, your walls and corners are not straight on their own, so you have to find and make your own straight line. Pretty Life Girls‘ did a full makeover on this Ikea nightstand with paintable textured wallpaper and chalk paint. Whoa, right? Nothing boring about this project! Easy to follow tutorial, anyone can do this! Here is a wonderful textured wallpaper idea that creates a cool faux tin ceiling look. From ‘ Young House Love , totally genius! If you have to cut around any windows, power outlets, etc. use your Exacto knife and have some scissors handy to trim an area if needed. Smooth down well after trimming. This embossed wallpaper is a great example of all the amazing patterns out there… it isn’t just the antique looking styles, there are more modern textured wallpaper choices as well. Find this at ‘ All Modern‘.
