Wallpaper and Philadelphia's old walls
Philly weather swings from humid, heavy summers to cold, dry winters, and old rowhomes feel every degree. Damp summer air lingers in a windowless bathroom or a below-grade room, while months of dry radiator heat can tighten a seam. The answer in both cases is preparation, not avoidance. Ventilate the wet rooms and let your rolls settle to indoor conditions before you hang.
Then there is the plaster. A lot of these homes have lath-and-plaster walls that are charmingly imperfect, plus decades of glossy paint. Skim any rough patches smooth, wipe the wall down, and prime anything slick so peel-and-stick and paste both have something to hold. That prep is the difference between a wall that looks crisp for years and one that lifts at the corners.
Humid summers
Run a fan in bathrooms and basements and hang on fully dry walls, so summer moisture never gets a chance to work at a seam.
Old glossy plaster
Prime slick, high-gloss trim paint before you hang. On original plaster, that primer is what gives the adhesive a real grip.
Patterns for a Philadelphia rowhome
Rowhomes are narrow and often deep, which makes a single papered wall a smart move. Behind the bed, in a small dining room, or up a stairwell, one pattern draws the eye without closing in a tight floor plan. Victorian twins with high ceilings can take something richer, while a modern loft is a natural home for a bold graphic.
For a period-friendly look, our Vintage Wallpaper and Floral Wallpaper collections suit the older housing, while Geometric Wallpaper keeps a smaller room feeling open and current.

First time? Read how to measure for wallpaper so your order fits the first time, then how to apply peel and stick wallpaper once it arrives. Still deciding? peel and stick vs traditional wallpaper spells out the difference for an old rowhome.

Philadelphia Wallpaper Questions
Do you have a wallpaper store in Philadelphia?
No, there is no physical store to visit. State of the Wall is an online studio that prints every roll to order and ships it to your address across Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
Will wallpaper stick to old Philadelphia plaster?
Yes, with the right prep. Old plaster and glossy trim paint need a quick skim of rough spots and a wallpaper primer on slick surfaces, which gives both peel-and-stick and paste a proper grip so seams stay tight.
How long does delivery to Philadelphia take?
We print and cut each order in two to seven business days, then a standard carrier handles transit that is calculated at checkout. Tracking is emailed as soon as your rolls leave the studio.
What wallpaper works in a narrow rowhome?
One papered feature wall gives a narrow rowhome real character without crowding a tight floor plan. Behind a bed, in a small dining room, or up a stairwell is ideal, and a lighter pattern keeps the space feeling open.
