Graham & Brown Paintable Pre-Pasted Beadboard Wallpaper

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!

I recently used this pre-pasted beadboard wallpaper to update a room, and I’m so happy with the results! The texture adds a lot of character to the walls, giving them a classic, timeless look without the hassle of installing actual beadboard.The pre-pasted feature made the application super easy—just dampen the back, and it sticks right to the wall without any mess. I was able to apply it by myself, and it was much less intimidating than traditional wallpaper. The seams lined up well, and once it dried, it stayed securely in place.The beadboard design is subtle but adds a lot of visual interest, and it really brightened up the space. It’s a great option if you want to add some charm to your room without the high cost and work of installing real wood or beadboard panels.Overall, I’m really happy with this wallpaper! It’s affordable, easy to use, and gives a beautiful, finished look. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to update a space with minimal effort!

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.

The wallpaper is great! Easy to install and handle overall. It’s thick but once you install it really adheres to the wall - I underestimated that. So I had some bumps in my wall that ended up showing. Also I regretted painting it, I should’ve just kept the natural color.

It was my first time installing real wallpaper and I thought it was really simple! Follow the instructions and prep the surface beforehand and you'll be golden. It also took paint well and looks beautiful. My only issue is how fragile the paper is, even after being painted. It is kind of soft and scratches really easily, even with just a fingernail. I think it will be fine for our powder room update, but I would be very hesitant to use it in a high traffic area because I don't think it would hold up well.
