An accent wall is a great way to express your creativity and style. When a Miami homeowner decided to upgrade her space, she called on the Ask This Old House team for help with wallpaper. With the help of a local wallpaper expert, host Kevin O’Connor helps apply a grasscloth wallpaper wall that really stands out.
Where to find it?
To install a sisal grasscloth wallpaper [https://homedepot.sjv.io/nXkv67] be sure the wall surface is thoroughly cleaned. To prep the walls, apply a pre-wallcovering primer [https://homedepot.sjv.io/gOP7XB] using roller brushes [https://homedepot.sjv.io/PyJoPY]. A pole extension [https://homedepot.sjv.io/e1v2Xz] will be needed for high walls.
Apply the adhesive [https://homedepot.sjv.io/4G5AnZ] to the back of the wallpaper with roller paint brushes and let it sit for 2-5 minutes to allow the adhesive to absorb into the paper.
Use a plastic smoothing tool [https://homedepot.sjv.io/GKXkNm] to remove any air bubbles or imperfections.
Install instructions may vary depending on wallpaper material.
