What do you need?
Before you begin, it's helpful to have everything ready. To apply non-woven wallpaper, you'll need the following materials:
- A tape measure
- Wallpaper paste (especially for non-woven wallpaper)
- Wallpaper roller or brush
- A sharp Stanley knife
- Spirit level
- Wallpaper spatula
Step 1: Ensure a smooth surface
The first thing you need to do is make sure the wall you're going to wallpaper is clean, dry, and smooth. If you already have old wallpaper on the wall, remove it completely before you begin. Fill any holes and cracks with a little putty and sand the wall smooth. This will ensure the wallpaper sits nicely and doesn't bulge.
Step 2: Measure the wall
Before ordering your wallpaper, it's important to measure your wall accurately. Measure both the width and height of your wall, and add 10 centimeters. This will prevent you from running out of space. This way, you can always cut accurately without missing any pieces.

Step 3: Glue on the wall
The beauty of non-woven wallpaper is that you apply the adhesive directly to the wall. No hassle with wet wallpaper strips! Use a roller to apply an even layer of adhesive to the part of the wall where you want to hang the wallpaper. Work in sections about two wide to prevent the adhesive from drying before applying the wallpaper.
Step 4: Wallpaper!
Now comes the fun part: applying the wallpaper! Always start at the top of the wall and slowly lower the strip. Use a wallpaper spatula to smooth out any air bubbles. Make sure the strip is perfectly straight by using a spirit level.
Creative tip: Play with patterns! Whether you choose our Jungle Animal wallpaper or the playful Retro Van wallpaper , don't be afraid to experiment with accents like a single feature wall or combining different prints.
Step 5: Cut away excess wallpaper
Once you've applied the wallpaper, use a sharp utility knife to trim away any excess wallpaper along the edges. Make sure you keep the knife sharp so you can cut nice, straight lines without damaging the wallpaper.
Step 6: Let it dry and admire your work!
Let the wallpaper dry completely and give yourself a pat on the back because you've just created a beautiful room for your little one! With the right wallpaper, you can create a calm, cheerful, or adventurous atmosphere where your little one can sleep and play wonderfully.
