Unpasted Wallpaper

For DIY installers who like to control their own paste and timeline, our Unpasted Wallpaper collection is packed with customer favorites. Leading the way is the Inwood Oatmeal Wallpaper, a versatile warm neutral that suits almost any room, closely followed by the crisp Aspo Stripe Sky Wallpaper and the richly patterned Golden Trellis Parchment And Gold Wallpaper. Whether you love clean stripes or gilded botanicals, these three best-sellers prove that unpasted wallpaper doesn't mean compromising on style.

If you're enjoying these picks, you might also love Thibaut Wallpaper, since the brand's papers are frequently sold unpasted and its botanical prints share the same warm, natural spirit. A Street Prints Wallpaper is another great next stop, offering a similar range of finishes and styles. And if the shimmer of Golden Trellis caught your eye, browse Metallics Wallpaper for more gilded, reflective designs.

Unpasted wallpaper gives you full control over your installation, letting you choose your own adhesive and work at your own pace. Whether you're a first-time DIYer or a seasoned pro, our best-sellers here are a great place to start, and each one opens the door to more of the styles you already love across the rest of our collections. Pair your unpasted roll with a heavy-duty wallpaper paste for the best long-term hold, and always order a little extra to account for pattern matching and any measuring mistakes along the way. If you've never hung wallpaper before, watch a quick tutorial video first, since the technique is a little different from prepasted rolls and a smooth first attempt makes all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "unpasted" wallpaper mean?

It ships without adhesive on the back, so you choose and apply the paste yourself. That extra step gives you control over open time and lets you match the adhesive to the paper, which is a real advantage with heavier goods like Grasscloth Wallpaper.

What kind of paste should I use?

Match the paste to the substrate: a heavy-duty clay-based adhesive for grasscloth and other weighty naturals, and a clear premixed strippable paste for standard papers.

Is unpasted harder to install than prepasted?

It takes one more step, not more skill. You'll need a pasting table, a roller or brush, and time to "book" each strip so the paste absorbs evenly. If you'd rather skip pasting altogether, Prepasted Wallpaper activates with water instead.

Which unpasted wallpapers are most popular?

Inwood Oatmeal leads, a warm neutral that works in nearly any room, followed by the crisp Aspo Stripe Sky and the gilded Golden Trellis Parchment and Gold. If the metallic finish of that last one appeals, Metallics Wallpaper has more in the same vein.
