FAQs
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of the walls to be covered. Calculate the total wall area and then divide by the coverage area of a single roll, accounting for pattern repeats and potential waste. It's always a good idea to order an extra roll or two to allow for matching and any unexpected issues.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable, it's generally best suited for rooms with less moisture. Ensure proper ventilation if using it in a bathroom.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for paste-the-wall application. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for best results.
What does 'straight match' mean?
A straight match design means that the patterns on the wallpaper align horizontally across each strip. You simply match the pattern across each edge.
How do I remove this wallpaper?
Paste-the-wall wallpaper is usually easier to remove than traditional wallpaper. You can typically peel it off, or you may need to use a wallpaper stripper solution. Follow the instructions on the product.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is not designed to be painted. It has a specific finish that would not be suitable for painting over.
What is the design repeat?
The design repeat is 64cm. This refers to the distance at which the pattern repeats vertically down the roll. This impacts how much waste you might have when matching patterns.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall.
Ensure you are using the correct paste-the-wall adhesive. Make sure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth). Apply enough adhesive to the wall surface and allow it to sit for the recommended time before applying the wallpaper.
Air bubbles appear after application.
Use a smoothing tool or a soft cloth to gently push the air bubbles out towards the edges. Make sure you are not applying too much pressure. For persistent bubbles, gently lift the wallpaper and re-apply.
Seams are visible.
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper are butted up closely without overlapping. Use a seam roller to gently press the seams together. If seams are still visible, ensure the wall is properly prepared and smooth.
Pattern matching is difficult.
Carefully align the wallpaper edges using the design match points as a guide. Consider the lighting in the room and how it affects the pattern visibility and placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
