Although it lacks a grid pattern that would help with alignment, we found the wallpaper utility fairly straightforward.
Not only that, but there was no adhesive orresidue left behindafter removal.
We were also impressed by the lack of stretching we experienced when handling the paper.
This likely wouldnt be an issue with another print.
Checking back in after the paper had been hanging for three months, we noticed no changes.

Even a ceiling!”
“While it may seem counterintuitive, bold patterns in small spaces work.”
