Peel-and-stick wallpaper is often marketed as a quick and easy DIY solution, but at EnjoyTheWall, we’ve seen firsthand that it comes with its own set of challenges. Denver-area homeowners, in particular, should be aware of environmental and structural factors that impact success. Here’s our guide to what you really need to know before starting.
This wallpaper type has self-adhesive backing, which eliminates the need for paste. Sounds simple, but:
It’s highly sensitive to surface imperfections
It’s tricky to reposition once applied
It doesn’t always handle Colorado’s temperature swings well
Learn about prep steps in our guide on proper wall preparation.
Even light texture (like orange peel walls) can prevent proper adhesion. Always clean, prime, and smooth your walls.

If the sticky sides touch, they’re nearly impossible to separate without damage. This mistake ruins full sheets and wastes material.
Direct sunlight or heat (common in Colorado) softens the adhesive, causing peeling and bubbling over time. This is especially problematic in sun-facing rooms.
Peel-and-stick options are best in low-touch zones. In kids’ rooms or busy hallways, consider more durable wallpaper types like vinyl.
Despite its reputation, this wallpaper is tricky. It can wrinkle or misalign easily, especially over large surfaces. Even pros find it frustrating without proper tools.
