How to Install Vinyl Wallpaper in Denver Metro Area Homes

Updated June 2025

Vinyl wallpaper is a popular choice for Colorado homeowners looking to upgrade their interiors with something stylish, durable, and easy to maintain.

For durable, moisture-resistant materials like vinyl, many homeowners rely on experienced wallpaper installation professionals in the Denver metro area to ensure proper adhesion and long-term performance.

Whether you live in Denver, Aurora, or Boulder, understanding the installation process helps ensure great results — especially when working with expert installers like EnjoyTheWall, with outcomes influenced by the wallcovering materials and finishes selected for your project.

🧾 Types of Vinyl Wallpaper

Each type of vinyl wallpaper offers unique benefits depending on your space and design goals:

✅ Peel and Stick Vinyl Wallpaper

Perfect for renters or quick refreshes — no paste needed. Just peel, stick, and smooth.

✅ Vinyl Grasscloth Wallpaper

Looks like natural fibers but is easier to clean and more moisture-resistant. Great for kitchens and bathrooms.

✅ 3D Vinyl Wallpaper

Adds depth and dimension. Popular for accent walls or modern spaces in Lakewood and Centennial.

🛠️ Tools You’ll Need for Installation

To properly install vinyl wallpaper, prepare the following tools:

  • Wallpaper (enough rolls with matched pattern)

  • Wallpaper paste or adhesive (if not peel-and-stick)

  • Smoothing brush or plastic squeegee

  • Measuring tape and level

  • Utility knife or wallpaper trimmer

  • Adhesive brush or roller

  • Ladder or step stool

📌 Step-by-Step Vinyl Wallpaper Installation

  • Prepare the wall
    Clean, smooth, and dry the surface. Remove old wallpaper or patch imperfections.

  • Cut the wallpaper
    Measure the height of your wall and cut each strip with a bit of excess for trimming.

  • Apply the adhesive
    If using traditional vinyl wallpaper, apply paste to the back or directly on the wall (check manufacturer instructions).

  • Hang the wallpaper
    Start from a corner or plumb line. Smooth with a squeegee from the center outward to remove air bubbles.

  • Trim the edges
    Use a sharp utility knife to cut off excess at the ceiling, floor, or corners.

  • Clean up
    Wipe any adhesive from the wallpaper surface. Let it dry completely before rearranging furniture.

🧼 How to Remove Vinyl Wallpaper

✅ For Heavy Vinyl Wallpaper

  • Peel off the top vinyl layer

  • Soak the backing paper with warm water

  • Gently scrape using a wallpaper scraper

  • Clean the wall of glue residue

✅ For Drywall

  • Score the wallpaper with a scoring tool

  • Apply water or remover
