Hi all, I put this up about but it was soo difficult for me! I had the hardest time lining up the sheets and from keeping it from bubbling. Also after 2 years it's starting to come off especially this summer while it's been so humid. Does anyone have any advice on how to put up peel-and-stick wallpaper better and how to keep it from getting bubbles and wrinkling? Thank you!

    Hi @Rebecca! I'm going to try my hand at peel-and-stick myself this winter, and I came across this piece from AT on how pros put up peel-and-stick wallpaper.

    For bubbling, they recommend using small sections and smoothing bubbles out with a credit card as you go.

    As for longevity… I'm afraid peel-and-stick is simply not super-durable. Two years seems to be the longest it lasts without peeling, three would probably be pushing it. It might simply be time to switch it out!
