Product Insights
No Coulis No Cry Self-Adhesive Wallpaper Strip by Meraki is a grout-free tile-look wallpaper with a checkered pattern by Quebec illustrators Marie-France Auger and Marish Papaya. Its canvas texture and 6-mil phthalate-free PVC offer commercial-grade durability and 100% opacity, while the printed-to-order production in Quebec reduces waste. Priced at CAD 115 (CAD 6.90/sq ft), it requires smooth walls and one-time ordering to avoid shade variation, with repositionability only during installation and clean removal up to 6 months. The brand, launched in 2020 as a pandemic pivot, carries over a decade of design experience from Pigment Design and is stocked by Simons, embodying the Greek concept of meraki—doing with soul.

- Texture

Adding playful character to indoor walls, doors, or ceilings
Use this self-adhesive wallpaper strip to dress up indoor surfaces, combining multiple strips on a wall or using it to enhance a door or even a ceiling. Its checkered design with colourful, retro-inspired accents is meant to give a room a playful, artistic feel. It can handle moderate humidity without splashing and is suitable for indoor use only.[2,4]
A mess-free weekend wall refresh you can adjust as you go
Add a decorative accent to a wall, door, or even a ceiling without glue or water — just peel and stick. The removable strip is easy to place, trim, and reposition during set-up, and panels stay removable in the following days or weeks if you change your mind. Each panel has a 0.5 inch margin for easy overlapping, and an installation guide and smoother come included; the brand recommends prepping the wall without cleaning products and having a second person help.[1,3,4]
Temporary wall decor you can take back down
Use this self-adhesive wallpaper strip when you want a wall update that is not permanent, such as styling a space for a season or trying out a look. The panels are easy to reposition during installation and remain removable for a few weeks afterwards, so plan to remove or refresh them within that window.[1,4]
