How to Cover Your Bathroom Counter with Contact Paper

Measuring your counter is one of the most important elements of ensuring a perfect contact paper application. You won't be able to install the contact paper correctly or avoid wrinkles if you don't measure the area accurately. To do this, start by measuring the length and width of your counters. Although most bathroom counters are rectangular, there may be some odd angles or cutouts, so measure these as well.

Once you're done measuring, adding contact paper to your bathroom counter is the next step. Peel off the backing to expose the adhesive. Make sure to do so progressively, slowly laying the paper down and smoothing it out as you go. Use a small piece of masking tape to keep the paper straight and to prevent tearing. Continue applying the paper, smoothing it out and pressing out any bubbles as you go. If you need to make cuts, use a sharp blade or a pair of scissors.

The final key element is taking care of your contact paper after it’s been applied. Contact paper is durable, however, it can be damaged if you don't care for it properly. Here are a few tips to help you keep your contact paper looking its best:

Clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface of the contact paper.
Do not cut the contact paper with a sharp object, as this can tear the paper.
If the contact paper does get damaged, you can repair it using a patch of new contact paper.
