Peel and Stick wallpaper

We have 2016FC23D. Wife has been inspired by some images she saw on the internet. It's peel and stick type wall paper, and she wants to apply that on the wall that has the TV.


TV mounting bracket and some power outlet cover would be easy to remove, but how about cables that come out from the wall? With that bundle of cables dangling from the wall, how can we put a wall paper nicely?


Does anyone have any thoughts?


Thanks,


Atsushi

I would say the anything that is self stick will end up being a mess as the glue gets hot from the trailer sitting in the sun and the stuff bubbles or peals or shrinks as the plasticizers dry up in the vinyl. Not a matter of if but when.

If she wants something decorative, might look at the large assortment of vinyl clings at Hobby Lobby.

They will withstand heat and cold, and are easily removable for whatever reason.

Agree completely.

I just finished “wallpapering” my bathroom. I used decorative contact paper. It does take some patience and attention to detail, but I think it makes a huge difference in the look and feel. I used windex on the wall under the contact paper to allow it to slide and be adjusted. Then, use a squeegee to get out air and extra windex (stole this idea from here: https://youtu.be/75wTNDGdY8Q).
