FAQs
What is the application method for this wallpaper?
This wallpaper uses the 'paste the paper' application method. You will need to apply wallpaper paste directly to the back of the wallpaper strips before hanging them on the wall.
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it is wipeable, it is primarily recommended for bedrooms and living rooms. For high-humidity environments like bathrooms, specialized moisture-resistant wallpapers are generally advised unless proper ventilation is excellent.
How do I match the pattern when hanging?
This wallpaper has an 'offset' design match with a 64cm repeat. This means the pattern on the next strip will drop down or move up by half the repeat to match the previous strip. Always refer to the hanging instructions on the label for precise guidance and dry-fit sections if unsure.
What kind of paste should I use?
A good quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste suitable for standard wallpaper is recommended. Always check the paste manufacturer's instructions for application.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is designed to be a finished decorative surface with its unique texture and metallic accents. Painting over it would obscure these features and is not recommended.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
To calculate the number of rolls, measure the perimeter of your room and the height of your walls. Divide the perimeter by the wallpaper's width (53cm) to find the number of strips. Then, factor in the 64cm design repeat for pattern matching, which may require extra length per strip or an additional roll. It's often advisable to purchase an extra roll to account for mistakes or future repairs. Consult a wallpaper calculator or professional for precise estimation.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper bubbles or lifts after drying
This can happen if paste was unevenly applied or not enough time was given for the paper to 'relax'. For small bubbles, use a wallpaper syringe to inject paste and smooth. For larger areas or lifting seams, gently peel back the affected section, reapply paste, and smooth thoroughly.
Pattern does not align correctly
Ensure you are correctly following the 'offset' design match instructions and accounting for the 64cm design repeat. It's crucial to measure and pre-cut strips carefully, laying them out to check the match before pasting. If a strip is already hung, you may need to carefully peel it back while the paste is still wet to adjust, or re-cut a new strip if it's dried.
Visible seams
Visible seams can result from improper alignment, insufficient paste at edges, or walls not being perfectly smooth. Ensure edges are well-pasted and firmly pressed together. For minor issues, a seam roller can be used carefully. If walls are uneven, proper preparation (filling and sanding) is key.
Wallpaper tearing during application
Wallpaper can tear if it becomes too wet with paste or is handled roughly. Ensure the paste is not excessively thick and handle strips gently. Use a sharp knife for trimming rather than blunt tools which can snag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare Your Walls: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from any old wallpaper or loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and prime porous surfaces.
- Gather Tools: You will need wallpaper paste, a pasting brush or roller, a plumb line, a spirit level, a measuring tape, scissors, a wallpaper smoothing brush, a cutting knife, and a clean sponge.
- Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height and add a few extra centimeters for trimming at the top and bottom. Account for the 64cm offset design repeat when cutting subsequent strips to ensure the pattern aligns correctly.
- Paste the Paper: Apply a quality wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip. Fold the pasted strip (paste to paste) for a few minutes to allow the paper to relax.
- Hang the First Strip: Use a plumb line to ensure your first strip is perfectly vertical. Carefully position and smooth the wallpaper onto the wall, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Match Subsequent Strips: Align the next strip by matching the offset design at the seams. Smooth into place, ensuring no gaps or overlaps.
- Trim and Clean: Once all strips are hung, carefully trim excess paper at the top and bottom using a sharp knife. Gently wipe any excess paste from the surface and seams with a damp sponge.
Compatibility
This wallpaper is highly versatile and compatible with various living spaces, including:
- Bedrooms: Adds a calm, modern, and sophisticated atmosphere.
- Living Rooms: Creates a stylish feature wall or an encompassing industrial aesthetic.
- Hallways and Entryways: Provides an inviting and contemporary first impression.
Its grey colour family and industrial texture design blend well with minimalist, modern, and industrial interior styles.
Care
- Wipeable: The Muriva Cove Wallpaper is wipeable. For light dirt or dust, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this may damage the metallic accents or texture. For stubborn marks, a very mild, diluted detergent can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
