This was my first time hanging any type of wallpaper. I enlisted help from my mom who has been hanging paste wallpaper since the 80s. According to her or doesn’t slide and move around as easy as paste paper does,  but once we got the hang of it we applied it rather easily. We used a level to try and keep our application straight, but still ended up with a slight gap that’s hidden behind my bed. I’m. It sure if the paper wasn’t cut quite right or if it was user error. My husband and I love the color and it adds a sense of texture to our room as well. Would definitely recommend! (The bed frame is Wayfair too).
