FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?

For non-woven wallpapers like this one, it is typically recommended to use a high-quality, pre-mixed paste specifically designed for non-woven (paste-the-wall) papers. Always refer to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for best results.

How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the print and paper.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?

While the non-woven paper offers some durability, it is not designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens. Excessive humidity can affect adhesion and the wallpaper's integrity.

How much wallpaper do I need to order?

Measure the width and height of your walls and calculate the total square meterage. Account for the pattern repeat (provided by the manufacturer) and add an extra 10-15% for wastage due to pattern matching and trimming.

Can I remove this wallpaper easily later?

Yes, non-woven wallpapers are generally designed to be strippable, meaning they can be removed dry from the wall in large sections without leaving significant residue.

What does 'symmetrical' mean in the context of this design?

While William Morris often favoured asymmetry, the 'Woodland Weeds' pattern is described as curiously symmetrical, meaning its elements are arranged in a balanced, often mirrored fashion, which is less common in natural formations but creates a pleasing visual order.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or wrinkles appearing after application.

Gently lift the affected section and re-smooth it onto the wall using a soft brush or roller, working from the center outwards. Ensure no paste residue remains trapped.

Difficulty in aligning the pattern repeat.

Take your time and use a spirit level and measuring tape to ensure each panel is correctly positioned before smoothing. If a section is misaligned, carefully peel it back and reposition.

Wallpaper not adhering properly to the wall.

Check that the wall surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared before application. Ensure sufficient and appropriate adhesive was used according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Edges lifting after drying.

Apply a small amount of wallpaper adhesive to the lifting edge with a fine brush and press firmly back into place. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Wall Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust, grease, and old wallpaper. Fill any cracks or imperfections and sand smooth.
  2. Cutting: Unroll the wallpaper and cut panels to size, allowing for an extra 10cm (4 inches) at the top and bottom for trimming. Ensure you match the pattern repeat accurately between panels.
  3. Adhesive: Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper panel or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. For non-woven papers, paste-the-wall is often recommended.
  4. Application: Hang the first panel, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level. Gently smooth the wallpaper onto the wall from the center outwards, using a soft brush or roller to remove air bubbles.
  5. Trimming: Once the panel is in place, trim the excess at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp knife and a straight edge.
  6. Subsequent Panels: Continue hanging subsequent panels, carefully aligning the pattern repeat with the previous panel.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. It is best suited for walls that are properly prepared and primed. Avoid applying in areas of high moisture or direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight, which could fade the colours over time.

Care:

To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the paper and its finish. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
