Graham & Brown Superfresco Easy Paintable Pre-Pasted Beadboard Wallpaper

This wallpaper is tedious to use (and really what wallpaper isn’t tedious to install!), but pretty easy to work with once you have a system and looks great once installed. I would recommend using a continuous-spray spray bottle as it evenly distributes the water and allows you to control how much water goes on. I was able to work efficiently this way. The glue is very sticky and paper will be delicate, but I found it forgiving before fully drying if I needed to fix mistakes or hide small rips. Very easy to paint. Now in terms of durability, I wouldn’t use this in a high traffic area as it is easily scratched. Other buyers should just consider how the space they are using this wallpaper in will be used. Again, it looks great once complete, so totally worth the work!!

I recently discovered this paintable beadboard wallpaper, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! As someone who loves DIY projects but lacks the carpentry skills (and tools!) for traditional beadboard installation, this product has been a game-changer. The quality of the wallpaper is superb – it's thick, durable, and has a realistic beadboard texture that adds instant charm to any room. What's even better is that it's paintable, allowing me to customize the color to perfectly match my existing wall color. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided. With just a few simple tools (good blade and a smoothing tool), I was able to transform my space in no time. The end result is stunning – it looks just like real wood beadboard, but at a fraction of the cost and effort. As this was my first time ever wallpapering, I loved how easy this pre-pasted wallpaper was. The wallpaper would rip on occasion, but with a sharp blade and being careful when you cut (especially around the textured wallpaper "lines"), it wasn't too hard at all. Just as easy as peel and stick really! I've received countless compliments on my new beadboard walls, and everyone is shocked when I tell them it's wallpaper! Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or a beginner looking to spruce up your space, I highly recommend this paintable beadboard wallpaper. It's affordable (only took me one roll for my whole project!), easy to use, and the results speak for themselves. Five stars all the way!

This was my first time installing wallpaper. I normally stick to paint for refreshing a room but wanted the look of tall wainscoting as part of an update for a 1970's bathroom. Honestly, the negative reviews on here were a bit scary but after reading the details on the positive ones, I decided to tackle it. First of all, you need to use wallpaper primer on your wall. It states this flat out on the instructions. This is not a peel and stick wall paper. It has a ton of paste on it and, without wallpaper primer, the wet paste will just soak into drywall or matte paint and the entire mess will just fall off. That is not the fault of the paper. I applied a generous layer of Zinsser Shieldz primer (make sure you get the one for porous surfaces) and let it dry. Following what other reviewers said, I cut the paper to size and trimmed out all the wall plates, etc before soaking it. The instructions say to soak the paper for 30 seconds and allow it to sit for 5 before unfolding. I found that at the 5 minute mark the paper was way too fragile, stuck to itself and tore while unfolding. I ended up folding precut pieces accordion style, soaking for about 15 seconds, making sure that the water was evenly soaking into the paste, letting it sit for about a minute before holding it at an angle to let any excess water drip out. It if was a small piece, I also found that wiping off some of the paste before mounting the paper was helpful. After that, line it up to the wall edge, plumb line, whatever you are using as your reference, and smooth it down. There are gobs and gobs of wallpaper paste on this paper. It oozes out everywhere. I found that using my hands to smooth out the paper, especially the side of my palm, worked just fine. A lot of paste came out from the sides, top and bottom and I wiped those up with rags. I also used a seam roller to run down along the wainscoting stripes to get any extra gobs of paste or air bubbles out. Having the wall pre primed allowed me to gently push the paper on the wall to line up with previous wallpaper sheets. Honestly, it looks absolutely wonderful now that it is dry. I have applied one coat of paint and will be applying another. It is still a bit soft like craft foam sheets and will likely dent easily if you whack it with something sharp but then so would drywall. My biggest advice would be to start papering in an out of the way spot like behind the door. Try to cut full length pieces because horizontal joints just pop and are hard to hide. Order a lot more than you think you need and be open to learning the idiosyncrasies of the paper and you will love the end results.

This wallpaper is AMAZING! I had been wanting to do bead board for my kitchen backsplash for over a year, but didn’t have the tools to do the real thing. I saw this textured wallpaper on Instagram and was very intrigued, but also VERY skeptical. I can say with 100% honesty that this wallpaper blew me away. This is the 4th time I have hung wallpaper and it was just as good of quality as magnolia brand from Home Depot if not better. The adhesive was perfect, easy to use, and easy to manipulate after placing. I was even able to press seams down even more after placement and paint by getting finger wet and running it just behind the edges that were still a bit noticeable. Also would recommend for first time users of wallpaper because it was SO easy to work with. 10/10. DO NOT paint with glossy paint, I made this mistake using paint from what I used on our cabinets. It showed the imperfections of the wallpaper too much. I painted over with a satin finish and this was much better and looked more realistic. Painting it was a breeze, needing 2-3 coats of paint. I am love with the look and so happy it was so easy and inexpensive to do. One roll covered my entire kitchen backsplash!

Don't own a saw??? This is how to get wainscoting for your project! I followed the directions and after the first piece, found that waiting the 5 minutes after wetting created TOO much glue so I wet, let drip for a few seconds, then hung. No problems at all. Be careful because when wet, it will tear easily but since I was painting anyway, was able to smooth it back into place and never noticed it again because it was hidden behind the washer/dryer anyway. Also be careful when using a wallpaper smoothing tool because you can dent the paper if your hand is too heavy. Once I worked out the kinks after a few pieces, I loved the end result.

SO, yes, it looks pretty good in the end. Especially considering what you pay for it. Lots of people have said the seems will disappear when it is painted, so I guess we will find out later. However, here are some tips for if you want to buy this stuff and install it yourself. 1. Read the directions thoroughly before starting, front to back (well there is only a front, and no back) 2. Don't follow the directions, throw them out. 3. Yes, trim your nails and wash your hands, might not hurt to get a haircut, or pull it back, wouldn't want a hair touching this stuff or it will destroy the paper. Probably a good idea to dress in either bubble wrap or a hazmat suit if you have one handy. 4. measure twice and cut once, a little longer than you need, then throw that piece out because it ripped, then measure a second piece once and then repeat the process. 5. Make sure you wet this stuff down to activate the adhesive, wait for the water to penetrate 5 minutes for proper stick 6. Whatever you do, DO NOT get this stuff wet. 7. Before lifting it to put in place on your surface, add a wet single-ply tissue as a supportive backer so the paper doesn't tear. 8. Gently rip, I mean, slide the paper into place. It will only stick where you want it to move, and move where you want it to stick, don't get roped in to the paper's psychological mind games, be the bigger person. 9. Gently smooth out the bubbles. It is very satisfying when the glue ooze comes pouring out from behind the paper. Be sure to get glue all over everything in the room, including yourself (remember I said to pull your hair back), don't worry, this wont be hard to do. 9. Let it dry for a little bit before trimming the excess. Still, DO NOT touch it. But use a sharp straight edge to hold it down while you attempt to cut it. If the straight edge reflects light onto the paper, it will tear, so dim the overheads. 10. Only use a brand new razor blade when cutting the excess. Or use your shoe, you will get the same cut either way. Don't worry, you wont be able to predict where it will rip, or why it happens, the water you were not supposed to add earlier has turned this stuff into the Shroud of Turin. 11. Gently smooth out the paper and hold down the edges firmly to ensure proper adhesion, but do this through osmosis or have a neurosurgeon friend come by to help, because this stuff is now more fragile than your family. 12. All done. walk away...just walk away. When it dries up it will look better. I'm surprised it didn't shrink more and hope the coat of paint adds a more finished look to it, but I wouldn't be surprised if touching it with a paint brush would make it disintegrate.

Easy to install and looks awesome. My 12 year old granddaughter helped me and it looks great

Recommendations: * Two person job (application is easier) * Wear disposable gloves & use a clean microfiber towel (wallpaper scuffs & gets dirty easily) * Wallpaper tears easily but is very forgiving to reposition when wet * Use a spray bottle for more control * Use a squeegee or anything w/ a soft edge to create clean & precise creases @ trim. * Allow wallpaper to FULLY dry before trimming excess & use a sharp knife (tried trimming a day later & wallpaper was still tearing) * Wallpaper will look dark, wet, or off but will eventually go away once dried * If leftover residue is on your trim - remove w/ water & a paper towel. Step 1: measure the height you want the wallpaper to be & add a few inches just in case - also, roughly estimate or measure the amount of panels you will need to cover your desired surface Step 2: mark the length on the roll & cut out your first panel - use this panel as a template to mark & cut out your remaining panels Step 3: precut any holes for your light switch &/or outlets. I taped the top of the panel in my desired location w/ painters tape & carefully allowed the switch to rip through the wallpaper then placed the switch cover, traced it out & removed from wall to cut (‼️wallpaper is sensitive so it can tear from the tape ‼️) Step 4: work in sections per panel(don’t just soak the entire wallpaper & place it on the wall) Begin by spraying a generous amount of water from top to bottom (vertically) of one section of your panel & apply that to your wall - GENTLY & CAREFULLY smoothing out any air bubbles w/ a clean microfiber towel - continue that process for all panels. ‼️wallpaper is forgiving when it’s wet if you need to reposition but will tear easily if not careful ‼️ Step 5: once all panels are up - use your microfiber towel to smooth out the air bubbles &/or remove excess amount of glue & allow to dry. Periodically, check on the wallpaper ( 2 or 3 more times in a time span of 20-30mins) & carefully smooth out any new air bubbles that might appear. ‼️once done - don’t touch or overwork the wallpaper & allow it to FULLY dry before trimming excess ‼️

Sembrava troppo bello per essere vero infatti non lo è. Bisogna inumidirla per attivare la colla e stenderla sulla parete. L'applicazione è semplicissima e non fa bolle. Purtroppo però non resta attaccata, ho atteso anche 48h e risultava completamente asciutta, ma non resiste. Reso effettuato.

I did a successful renovation project of my kitchen cupboards using this wallpaper material , I painted the cupboard doors and the overlay wallpaper with white oil paint using electric spray gun , the result was fantastic.

el papel es muy bonito, pero es delicado, puede dañarse facilmente si se coloca en una zona muy expuesta por eso le doy 4 estrellas

Absolute rubbish. Not peel and stick and arrived covered in stains

EDIT. Two out of 3 rolls were NOT pre-pasted. The roll said they were but I had to paste the wall to get the other two rolls to stick. You could tell there was no paste, it was Matt paper when wet, the other roll was slippery once wet from the glue. It started along the edges, not sticking, then entire sheets of the roll had no glue. Definitely fragile when wet. Couldn’t even drag it through water without the pressure tearing it so I resorted to just lying it in the tub and spraying it down with the handheld shower head. Worked perfect. Trimming it is a holy terror. Wet, dry, painted, different blades, whichever way I tried didn’t work well. Edges all ended up jagged after trimming. I painted over the trimmed edges to try to clean them up. Overall super easy and very cost effective
