FAQs
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and total width of the walls you wish to cover. Multiply height by width to get total square meters. Divide this by the coverage per roll (5.2 sqm). Always round up and consider the 53cm design repeat, which can mean more waste. It's often wise to buy an extra roll for cuts and future repairs.
Is this wallpaper peel-and-stick or does it require paste?
This wallpaper requires a separate wallpaper paste for application. Info needed: Please check specific instructions on the roll's label or recommended paste type, as it could be paste-the-paper or paste-the-wall.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?
While the wallpaper is durable, the product description does not specify suitability for high-humidity environments. For bathrooms or kitchens, it's generally recommended to use wallpapers specifically designed for moisture resistance to prevent damage or lifting over time.
What tools do I need to hang this wallpaper?
You will need a tape measure, a pencil, a spirit level or plumb line, a sharp utility knife, a smoother or wallpaper brush, a paste brush or roller (if paste-the-paper), and a clean bucket for paste. A seam roller can also be helpful for edges.
How do I remove this wallpaper in the future?
Info needed: Removal methods can vary depending on the wallpaper type and adhesive used. Generally, you may need a scoring tool, a wallpaper steamer, or a liquid wallpaper remover solution to effectively strip the old paper from the wall.
Does this wallpaper have any texture?
The description implies a smooth finish typical of printed wallpapers, focusing on the visual cloud design. It does not mention any embossed or tactile texture.
Troubleshooting
Pattern mismatch between rolls.
Double-check that all rolls have the same batch code before hanging. When cutting, ensure you are accurately following the 'straight match' design repeat of 53cm for each consecutive strip.
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging.
Use a wallpaper smoother or brush to gently push air bubbles towards the nearest edge. For larger bubbles, you might carefully lift a corner or make a small slit with a utility knife to release the air, then smooth down. Ensure enough paste was applied evenly.
Wallpaper not sticking or seams lifting.
Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, primed if necessary) and that an adequate, even amount of paste was applied. For lifting seams, gently reapply paste under the edge with a small brush and press firmly with a seam roller.
Wallpaper tears during hanging.
Handle wet wallpaper carefully as it is more fragile. Use a very sharp utility knife for cutting to prevent snagging. If a small tear occurs, you can often patch it with a matching piece, aligning the pattern carefully.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Creates a bright, cozy, and inspiring atmosphere in any room.
- Ensures seamless pattern matching with guaranteed identical batch codes for multi-roll orders.
- Clear 'Straight Match' design and repeat (53cm) simplify pattern alignment.
- Versatile blue color palette that easily coordinates with recommended paint colors.
- Generous roll size provides good coverage (5.2sqm per roll).
Cons
- The 'straight match' design requires careful measurement and cutting for precise alignment, potentially increasing installation time.
- Not explicitly stated if it is suitable for high-moisture environments like bathrooms, requiring caution.
- As with all wallpaper, proper wall preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion and finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from any loose paint or debris. For best results, use a wallpaper primer, especially on newly plastered or porous walls.
- Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height, adding a few extra centimeters at the top and bottom for trimming. Cut your first strip. For the subsequent strips, unroll and align the 'straight match' pattern with the previous strip before cutting, accounting for the 53cm design repeat.
- Apply Paste: Info needed: Apply a good quality wallpaper paste directly to the back of the wallpaper (paste-the-paper) or directly to the wall (paste-the-wall), depending on the specific paste recommended. Ensure even coverage.
- Hang: Carefully hang the first strip from the top, leaving excess at the ceiling line. Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to remove any air bubbles, working from the center outwards. Align the next strip precisely using the straight match design, ensuring the cloud pattern flows seamlessly.
- Trim: Once all strips are hung and smoothed, use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to trim the excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting boards.
- Drying: Allow the wallpaper to dry naturally. Avoid excessive heat or drafts during the drying process, as this can cause seams to lift.
Compatibility
- Paint: This wallpaper is designed to coordinate perfectly with Wilko's `Moody Blue` and `Pure Brilliant White` paints for a cohesive room aesthetic.
- Surfaces: Best suited for smooth, interior walls. Not recommended for uneven or highly textured surfaces.
Care
- Cleaning: For general maintenance, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the print.
- Stains: For minor marks, try a very mild soap solution on a clean sponge, then wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Moisture: While durable, excessive moisture or steam can compromise the adhesive and wallpaper integrity. It's generally not recommended for high-humidity areas unless specifically pre-treated or sealed (info not provided).
