What Is Paste the Wall Wallpaper?

Paste the wall wallpaper is a modern, easy-to-install alternative to traditional wallpaper. Made from durable non-woven materials, it’s designed so that you apply adhesive directly to the wall—rather than the back of the wallpaper—before hanging it. This innovative method cuts down on mess, speeds up installation, and reduces the chance of ripping or stretching the paper.

At Hello Circus, all our wallpapers are designed for paste-the-wall application, making them a convenient and stylish choice for decorators of all levels—from first-timers to seasoned DIYers.

Is Paste the Wall Wallpaper the Same as Non-Woven Wallpaper?

Paste the wall wallpaper and non-woven wallpaper are closely related—so much so that the terms are often used interchangeably. Paste the wall refers to the application method, while non-woven describes the material the wallpaper is made from.

Non-woven wallpapers are created using a blend of synthetic and natural fibres. This makes them:

  • Strong and tear-resistant (even when wet)

  • Dimensionally stable (they don’t expand or shrink)

  • Easy to hang directly on pasted walls

Because of these properties, non-woven wallpapers are ideal for paste-the-wall application. So, while not all wallpapers that you paste the wall with are necessarily non-woven, most paste the wall wallpapers are non-woven by design.

At Hello Circus, all our wallpapers are non-woven and paste the wall, making them a practical and stylish choice for easy DIY installation and clean removal.

Is Paste the Wall Wallpaper Easier to Use Than Traditional Wallpaper?

Yes! Paste the wall wallpaper is widely considered more user-friendly than traditional wallpaper. There’s no need for a pasting table, soaking time, or dealing with soggy sheets. Instead, you simply apply adhesive to the wall, align your wallpaper panels, and smooth them into place.

This method is ideal for quick weekend projects or refreshing smaller spaces, like entryways or feature walls. With Hello Circus’s thoughtfully designed prints and high-quality materials, your decorating project becomes both stress-free and stylish.

Do I Need a Special Paste for Paste the Wall Wallpaper?

To get the best results, we recommend using a wallpaper adhesive formulated specifically for non-woven or paste-the-wall wallpapers. These pastes are typically labelled accordingly and are easy to find in DIY stores or online.

If you're using Hello Circus wallpaper, be sure to check our installation guide for paste recommendations. The right adhesive ensures your wallpaper goes up smoothly and stays securely in place.

Do I Need to Prepare My Wall First?

Yes, some basic preparation will ensure the best possible finish. Your wall should be:

  • Smooth and even

  • Clean and dry

  • Free from dust, oil, or flaking paint

For newly painted or porous surfaces, applying a primer or sealer may help with adhesion. Minor imperfections can usually be patched with filler and sanded flat. When your wall is well-prepped, Hello Circus wallpapers apply beautifully and last longer.

Can I Use Paste the Wall Wallpaper on Textured or Uneven Surfaces?

For best results, paste the wall wallpaper should be applied to smooth, flat surfaces. Heavily textured walls—like popcorn or orange peel finishes—can make it difficult for the wallpaper to adhere properly, leading to bubbles or an uneven look.

If your wall has a light texture, you might consider using a lining paper first. With the right prep, Hello Circus wallpapers can bring a clean, polished finish to almost any room.

Can You Remove Paste the Wall Wallpaper Easily?

Yes—one of the biggest advantages of paste the wall wallpaper is how simple it is to remove. At Hello Circus, all our wallpapers are made from non-woven materials, which are specially engineered for durability, dimensional stability, and hassle-free removal.

Non-woven wallpaper is crafted from a blend of synthetic and natural fibres. This construction means it won't tear easily and won’t shrink or expand when wet—making it perfect for the paste-the-wall method. When you're ready to redecorate, the wallpaper strips away cleanly in full sheets without damaging the surface underneath.

All you need is hot water and a rag to loosen any remaining adhesive—no steaming or scraping required. This makes our non-woven, paste the wall wallpapers a favourite among interior designers and homeowners alike for their flexibility.
