This wallpaper is peelable, and it can be removed using the traditional stripping method. Soaking the wallpaper with water may help to loosen the adhesive.
What tools do I need to hang this wallpaper?
You will need a pasting table, wallpaper adhesive, a brush, a smoothing tool, a sharp knife, a plumb bob or level, and a measuring tape.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?

Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared and the adhesive is suitable. Check the adhesive instructions and ensure sufficient adhesive is applied to the wallpaper. Allow the adhesive to activate before smoothing the paper onto the wall.
Bubbles or air pockets under the wallpaper.
Use a smoothing tool to gently push the bubbles to the edges. Ensure the wallpaper is properly aligned during application. If bubbles persist, gently lift the wallpaper and reapply, smoothing as you go.
Seams are visible.
Ensure the wallpaper is butted together tightly at the seams. Use a seam roller or smoothing tool to flatten the seams. Consider using a seam sealer if needed.
Paint not adhering to the wallpaper.
Make sure you used a wall primer before applying the wallpaper. Allow the wallpaper to fully dry before painting, and use a paint suitable for the wallpaper type. Ensure the wallpaper surface is clean and free from any residue before painting.
