The wallpaper looks just like it does in the photos. It's an easy peel and stick type of wallpaper, which if you take your time you can put up without much fuss. We did have some difficulty, but that is due to our trim we had to work around (which obviously is no fault of this product). FYI, the paper is fairly thin so texture will bleed through, but again I think that's something you just have to expect given this is peel and stick.
