Measure the ceiling height of the main floor. If your ceiling height is:

• 16” to 25” or taller, you need 1:6 (play scale)

• 4” to 5”, you need 1:24 (half inch scale)

SHOULD I GET UN-PASTED OR PEEL & STICK WALLPAPER?

PEEL & STICK WALLPAPER

• Matte Finish
• Easy to apply: Just cut, peel and stick; no glue needed. 
• Smooth coverage: Heavy weight paper that covers wire tape and wall imperfections.
• Large sheet: 12 x 18 inches for 1:12 and 1:6 scale
• Designed to last: Printed on archival, acid-free pH neutral paper; will not bleed.

UN-PASTED WALLPAPER

• Satin Finish
• Less expensive option; glue or paste needed.  We recommend Yes! Paste, available in our shop.
• Smooth coverage: Heavy weight paper that covers wire tape and wall imperfections.
• Large sheet: 11 x 17 inches for 1:12 and 1:6 scale
• Designed to last: Printed on archival, acid-free pH neutral paper; will not bleed.

HOW THICK IS THE WALLPAPER?

Both un-pasted and peel & stick wallpaper are professional weight paper, similar in thickness to index card stock 162 gsm . Our wallpapers are engineered to be thick enough to cover wire tape, yet thin enough to bend around corners.

IS THE WALLPAPER SHINY?

Peel & Stick wallpaper has a matte finish.

Unpasted wallpaper has a satin finish. It has a smooth satin texture. If you prefer a matte or shiny look, you can use Matte or Gloss Krylon spray sealant.

DO I NEED TO SPRAY THE WALLPAPER?

You do not need to spray seal your wallpaper. The wallpaper is meant to be used as is.

Spraying your wallpaper is optional.  If your dollhouse is intended for heavy play by children, spraying sealant such as “Krylon Sealant” will help aid in cleaning up stains (such as peanut butter and jelly). Spray on a test piece first. Use light mist (do not over-saturate). Allow to dry in between coats.

IS THE WALLPAPER ARCHIVAL?  WILL THE WALLPAPER FADE?

Yes, our wallpaper is archival. It is pH-neutral and acid free. The print is UV fade resistant. The print will not run or bleed. To prolong the beauty of your wallpaper for many generations to come, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

HOW DO I APPLY THE WALLPAPER? DO YOU HAVE INSTRUCTIONS?

We have step-by-step instructions on wallpaper installation.  You can find our instructions here

WHAT GLUE SHOULD I USE?

We recommend using Yes! dollhouse wallpaper paste. You can find it on Amazon in the 1 pint container. It is easy to use. You can use a Popsicle stick, plastic knife or spoon to scoop out a tablespoon of paste and apply it directly to the back of your wallpaper. Avoid diluting with water. Use a credit card or plastic spatula spreader (i.e. Bondo spreader found in automotive/hardware supply stores) to smooth out paste. The paste is non-toxic and easily cleans up with soap and water.

You can also use any commercially available dollhouse paste, including Grandma Stover's Paste (it is Yes! paste sold in a smaller quantity) or Micrographics Mucilage.  You can also use the border paste (found at Lowe's or Home Depot) used to put up decorative wallpaper borders.
