Collection: Plaid Wallpaper

Put Classic Lines on Modern Walls With Plaid Wallpaper From Painted Paper!

There’s a reason plaid has never gone out of style. It adds structure to a wall without distracting from the rest of the space. It’s also one of the most versatile patterns you have at your fingertips. The color and scale can take the vibe from country house to downtown loft. The possibilities are endless, especially here in our collection at Painted Paper.

Every design you see before you at Painted Paper is carefully made-to-order here in America. PVC-free, eco-friendly, class A fire-rated, and backed by our happiness guarantee. We’ve earned the trust of countless customers who decided it was time to update their space without the hassle of traditional wallpaper. You can choose from three unique substrates:

  • Peel-and-stick: The easiest installation and the best choice for renters or frequent changes. The self-adhesive sticks right onto the wall and comes off just as easily.
  • Pre-pasted: These soak in water to bond to the wall, and you’ll remove them the same way if you decide to change things up. They’re crafted from renewable fiber so you can feel good about upgrading your space. 
  • Traditional wallpaper: The real deal for a permanent bond that looks pristine for years to come. You’ll apply it like any wallpaper - a separate paste and roller. 

All our plaid wallpaper is available in sample sizes if you want to get a better idea of how a certain design will look in your specific lighting. They’re all water-resistant, too, so you can install them anywhere from the bathroom to the laundry room. Shop now and spruce up any space!

Frequently asked questions

Is plaid wallpaper still in style?

Yes, and if you ask us, it never went out of style in the first place! This classic pattern translates to walls today just as well as it did in the 70s. The difference is scale and color. Our plaid wallpaper is timeless. 

What rooms does plaid wallpaper look best in? 

We don’t think there’s necessarily a wrong room for it, but it definitely looks most natural in offices and studies. Tons of our customers have installed it in powder rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms as well, though, and they were over the moon with the final product. 

How do I calculate the amount of plaid wallpaper I need?

Measure the total length and height of the walls you plan on covering. You’ll want to add around 10% for pattern matching and trimming. Then, figure out how many rolls that works out to. We sell 24” rolls in either 13’ or 27’ lengths. You can always ask our customer service team if you don’t want to figure it out yourself, too!

Is Painted Paper DIY-friendly? 

Yes, that’s what separates our luxury wallpaper from the rest. The peel-and-stick wallpaper goes straight on the wall with no major tools or expertise needed. Even the pre-pasted wallpaper is easy to attach after soaking in water. Our traditional wallpaper takes specialized paste and rollers, and you may find that you prefer to leave it to the professionals for a pristine end result. But even this style is DIY-friendly with our helpful installation guides

How do I remove the wallpaper when the time comes? 

Depends on what you actually put on the walls. The peel-and-stick varieties come off with ease. Just gently pull at a 45-degree angle. The pre-pasted wallpaper needs to be moistened with water and then comes off easily. The traditional wallpaper is more permanent and may damage your walls during removal, so account for that from the start. 

How do I care for Painted Paper?

Just wipe it down every so often with a damp cloth. It’s moisture-resistant so you won’t hurt it as long as you’re not soaking it.
