FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a good quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for 'paste the paper' wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
How do I measure and cut the wallpaper strips?
Measure the height of your wall and add approximately 10cm (5cm top and 5cm bottom) for trimming. Cut strips to length, ensuring the pattern is oriented correctly before cutting subsequent strips.
What is a 'Straight Match' pattern?
A Straight Match means that the pattern on one strip of wallpaper should align horizontally with the pattern on the adjacent strip. The design elements match at the same point on each strip.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
This wallpaper is generally not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms unless specifically stated. If used, ensure excellent ventilation and consider a suitable sealant.
What is the pattern repeat measurement?
The pattern repeat is 53cm. This means the design motif repeats every 53cm along the length of the wallpaper roll.
How do I remove this wallpaper later?
Most 'paste the paper' wallpapers can be stripped dry when you're ready for a change. If it's particularly stubborn, you may need to score the surface and use a wallpaper steamer or stripper solution.
What does 'sea blue' mean for the colour?
Sea blue refers to a shade of blue that evokes the colour of the ocean, typically a medium to deep blue with hints of green or grey.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking properly
Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the correct wallpaper adhesive has been used and applied evenly. Allow adequate booking time for the paste to soak into the paper.
Pattern doesn't align
Check that the 'Straight Match' is being followed correctly. Ensure the first strip is hung perfectly vertical using a spirit level. Trim excess paper carefully around edges and obstacles.
Bubbles or wrinkles appear
Smooth the wallpaper from the center outwards using a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool immediately after hanging. If bubbles persist after drying, a pinprick might allow air to escape, but this is a temporary fix and suggests poor initial application.
Paste showing through seams
Use a seam roller or a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe away excess paste from the edges immediately after joining strips. Ensure paste is applied evenly and not excessively.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds a bold, contemporary, and exotic flair to interior design.
- Excellent for creating a statement feature wall.
- The floral and leaf design provides a touch of nature indoors.
- Straight match makes pattern alignment relatively straightforward for users familiar with wallpapering.
Cons
- Requires wallpaper paste for application, which can be messier than 'paste the wall' options.
- The dramatic pattern might be overwhelming for very small rooms or as a full room application.
- Requires careful alignment due to the pattern repeat, which can be challenging for beginners.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wallpaper uses the 'Paste the Paper' method. Ensure you have wallpaper adhesive suitable for your wall type. Apply the paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip, book it (fold pasted sides together) for the recommended time, and then hang. A pasting table is recommended.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and properly prepared (primed if necessary) before application. Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms unless specifically stated by the manufacturer and sealed appropriately.
Care: To clean, use a *slightly damp* cloth for gentle wiping. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paper and its print.
