Product Review: The Force Awakens Wallpaper Mural By Room Mates Decor
Posted by Dustin on January 21, 2016 at 08:00 PM CST
First I had to find a wall where the mural would fit. The Mural is 10'5" X 6', but this wall was only 9' 6" x 8'. I had some decision making to do on what section I was going to trim to make it fit. The wall I chose was my autograph wall, so I removed them, along with all of the nails used to hang them.
With the wall cleared and furniture moved, I prepped the wall best I could by wiping it down with a dust rag and smoothing out any nail damage.
The
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Wallpaper Mural is printed on seven panels of high quality SureStrip™ removable material that is super easy to install after activating the prepasted adhesive hold with water.
But first, I cut up all my panels then assembled them in order to see how the "big picture" would look. I don't have the seventh panel hanging in this image because as I mentioned earlier, some trimming would be required.
I was finally ready to get started with applying the mural panels. I decided to trim a small amount from each side of the mural so I would be able to fit more of the seventh panel.
To activate the adhesive, I used a spray bottle of water and applied it to the back of the mural panel I was dealing with. I suggest you don't go light on this step. The water will help you float the image into place as needed to align with the previous panel.
The first panel was the easiest it seemed. After that each panel must be aligned correctly with the previous or the image will be off. I have to admit I had a little bit of difficulty with EVERY panel after the first, but just remembered not to panic. I took my time lining up the panels, using the trusty spray bottle and cloth rag to quickly smooth out the seams.
I finally made it to the seventh and final panel to hang but was going to have to custom trim the piece to fit. I made some measurements then added an inch I planned to trim off once the panel was up. I'd rather have too much than not enough.
Overall I think it came out great. I've never hung wallpaper in my life, and it shows in a few places if you look up close. However, step back and this new
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Wallpaper Mural by
Room Mates Decor totally transforms the room into a much more colorful piece of the galaxy.
The
Room Mates Decor Star Wars: The Force Awakens Wallpaper Mural is highly recommended by this fanboy for the easy to follow instructions, ease of application, and bringing back that feeling of pure
Star Wars joy to my otherwise bland room.
