How to Install Stair Wallpaper

Since every stair riser has a different width and height, this wallpaper comes in one size (4’6″W x 8’0″H) that you cut to custom fit your stairs.  It comes in three 18″ panels, so it’s really easy to handle.

Most of our customers have installed it the same way:

  1. They pre-measure and cut the wallpaper to fit each riser, starting from the top step and moving down.
  2. They watch our how-to video, explaining how you would hang wallpaper on walls, but use the same process for their stairs (prepping the risers, dipping the wallpaper into warm water and applying it right to the riser).

We did have one customer who bought wooden planks, cut the wallpaper and installed it onto the planks, and then glued that to the risers.  She did this because the original stair risers weren’t in good condition.

And It’s Removable!

Although this stair riser wallpaper is super durable (aka it won’t peel off or rip), it is temporary and removable.  We made a how-to video explaining how our wallpaper is removed, and the same process can be used for your stairs.

Don’t believe us that a removable wallpaper can be durable on stairs?  Keep scrolling down to read what our customers have to say!

The first is from Debra who installed her stair riser wallpaper in March 2017 (a year ago as of this blog post).

The screenshot says: “Hi, nice to hear from you Adrienne. You will be pleased to know that 1 yr on from hanging it ( I used MDF then attached that to stair risers) it is in great condition, really durable! If you would like me to supply some more photos I’d be happy to do that.  Best wishes.  Debra.”

And this email is from Penny who installed the stair riser wallpaper in September 2016 (a year and a half before this blog post).

The screenshot says: “Hello Adrienne, The stairs look exactly the way they did when I applied the wallpaper. This is our main set of stairs that is used many times each day so I would say that it holds up really well!  Kind regards, Penny.”
