OkydokyPeel & Stick Brown Brick Wallpaper - Self-Adhesive, Vinyl Waterproof Vintage Wallpaper - Self-Sticking Contact Paper for House Decoration

We were first time wallpaperers & nailed it! Much easier than anticipated. Wallpaper was pretty easy to line up (you will have some waste), pretty easy to put up, the look & texture of it allows for errors like if you get a small crease or something. Everyone thinks it is real brick & have to go touch it. Pictures do not do it justice. Could not be happier.

Absolutely love the brick wallpaper! I purchased the brown color and I looked at papers for over a year. I’ve ordered samples of at least 7 different papers and finally, when the one I had chosen had a shipment delay, I ordered this and one other as a Hail Mary. I had a 5 day window to complete painting and papering this project and I HAD to have something to put up! (Thank you, Prime 2-day). So many papers I looked at had a shiny texture and wanted a more realistic brick look... and in my experience brick is not shiny. As soon as I opened this box I heard the angels’ voices. It was “the one”.Now, I’m a former decorator and experienced paper hanger, having installed countless rolls over my lifetime. This particular paper was easy to work with... for the most part. As others have stated it does tear easily once it’s got a rip in it so know going in that if you are working with long, narrow pieces you must be super careful that the weight doesn’t rip it. I was papering 11’ high walls so this was an issue, but only when using vertically cut pieces. If they had no additional cuts it was fine. When trimming the ceiling and baseboard edges I used a straight edge tool and disposable break away cutter. Hold the straight edge against the ceiling as you cut so the blade doesn’t drag the paper and rip or leave a jagged edge. Snap off the blade often, as soon as you feel any drag, to get super clean cuts. I bought 3 for my project (10 double rolls) and could have used one more.Other tips to make your life so much easier and ensure a great result:Use a wall covering primer before you begin! I use Zinser Sheildz, and if your paper is dark like this brown brick you can have it tinted to hide seams. This is sometimes called “sizing” a wall and basically it seals the surface so your paste doesn’t suck into the drywall. It will make positioning it infinitely easier and whomever removes it years later will thank you because it will help with clean removal as well. I know, it’s another step that costs $20 and takes a couple of hours to paint and dry (2 hours til you can hang paper) but it’s so worth it in the long run.Next, I set up a folding table for cutting and pasting. When you cut your paper make an arrow with pencil on the back indicating which is the top as it’s hard to tell once it’s cut. As soon as you paste your paper (edges are important!) book it. That means fold each edge toward the middle so the pasted sides are together and hang it immediately. The longer the paste sets the more likely your paper will soften and rip. Booking the paper allows you to move it around with out sticking to other surfaces. Once you get the top in place and lined up with your side level line unfold the bottom edge and slide/position the side seams to match your pattern. Once it’s smoothed and you’ve trimmed your top and bottom edges, roll your seams with a seam roller.Next tip is to immediately wash down your paper with water and white vinegar, about a cup per gallon of water is good. A clean flat sponge, the ones used for grouting haze cleaning, work great to smooth out bubbles as you clean the paste. The vinegar water will be your best friend during this sticky project. Change it often. Clean the ceiling and make sure you get the paste off as it will dry shiny. If you don’t, in about a year, say hello to your little yellow stain.Finally, if you are hanging artwork on a papered wall, mark where you want your nail/screw and make a small “X” with your cutter into the paper. Cut deep enough to go through the back of the paper. Pry the edges of your “x” open to reveal the wall behind. Hammer in your nail. When you go to move this item from the wall simply use seam adhesive to paste the tiny flaps down over the nail hole and you have no evidence of damage to your paper.I would have given this paper 5 stars except for this: every single roll was a different lot number. Fortunately brick is a forgiving pattern. It’s uniqueness and non conformity allow for slight nuances of mismatched patterns. But the risk of differing lot numbers means potentially the color is off or the pattern has printed slightly differently and a match is not possible. In the end it did not matter for this paper but be aware of this when you order.

We just moved into our new home and while we pretty much knew how we’re going to maximize the space in our home, for a while I couldn’t figure out what to do with the deep empty void that we had under our stairs. The space just so happens to be right across from our dining room table and kinda looked boring, so we decided to turn it into a mini bar area. When initially receiving the wallpaper, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. When I laid out the paper, there were already bubbles between the wallpaper and the paper and it made it a little harder to line up the bricks perfectly before I applied. However, lining up the bricks wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be. It was a tad bit frustrating because the bubbles took a little time to smooth out when applying, but once you get the hang out of it, it’s pretty easy. I saw a lot of people saying that the bricks don’t line up, but I didn’t have that issue. I measured the wall and pre cut the strips before I applied them to the wall to make sure they lined up. If you do this and lay the 1st strip and the 2nd strip next to each other and if you see that they don’t match, try flipping the 2nd strip the other way (upside down) and you should be able to match them seamlessly. Also, if you have bubbles after applying, take a needle or safety pin and poke holes in the bubbles to let the air out. Also, don’t worry about messing up because the wallpaper is VERY forgiving. Overall, it think it looks SO much better in person and I’m extremely pleased with this wallpaper. 100% recommend!

We used this paper to remodel the showroom in our shop. It looks fantastic. It's extremely realistic. It even has a slight grit to it when you touch it. Everyone who sees it thinks it is real. Highly recommend. We are getting nothing but compliments on it. It was very easy to put up as well (you need paste purchased separately).

This paper was thinner than most other peel and stick wallpaper I have used. You do need to be careful as it does rip very easy. It was hard to line up and you can tell in some spots, but I am not that picky and it isn’t that noticeable as the design helps hide it. I could look past the cons as it does really enhance the wall. Would recommend.

Love the color tone!! Applying it was so easy and it looks freaking REAL!!!!!! I love it so much, used it for an accent wall for a motorcycle room. This wallpaper made it look rustic and modern! I purchased more as soon as I ran out of the first roll. So happy with it!

The pattern repeats every two or so feet so it’s easy to line up without having a ton of waste. It’s thin but easy to work with! It seems to pull up easily as well, I hope it will be over time as I rent and will have to take it off when I leave. I love how it came out.

The media could not be loaded.  I am not one to write reviews that often but I searched long and hard for a brick wallpaper that was just the right color and looked like brick. This wallpaper was very easy to install. The hardest part was lining up the bricks but it was not that difficult. My husband did it mainly by himself. I love the industrial look. If you are thinking about doing this, go ahead and do it. It was well worth it!!!!

It was easy to do looks good up
