FAQs
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The pattern repeat for the Holden Decor Medina Wallpaper is an offset match of 64/32cm.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is washable. You can clean it gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove minor marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While washable, this wallpaper is best suited for standard interior walls and not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where condensation is frequent, unless properly sealed and ventilated.
What does 'paste the paper' mean?
'Paste the paper' means you apply the wallpaper paste directly to the back of the wallpaper itself, rather than to the wall. After pasting, the paper is usually left to rest for a few minutes (booking) before being hung.
How many rolls do I need?
Each roll measures 0.53m x 10.05m. To determine how many rolls you need, measure the width and height of your walls, calculate the total square meterage, and account for the pattern repeat. It is always recommended to buy an extra roll for potential mistakes or future repairs.
What should I do before applying the wallpaper?
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from any old wallpaper, loose paint, or debris. Prime the wall with a suitable wallpaper primer if necessary for best adhesion and to facilitate future removal.
Is this wallpaper removable?
Yes, this wallpaper is described as 'wet removable', meaning it can be more easily peeled off the wall when wet, typically after soaking it with water or steam, which simplifies the removal process during redecoration.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking well
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly primed. Check that the correct type and amount of wallpaper paste have been used and applied evenly. Allow the paste to 'book' for the recommended time before hanging.
Pattern doesn't align correctly
Carefully measure and cut each strip, paying close attention to the 64/32cm offset match. Ensure each subsequent strip is aligned precisely with the previous one. Use a seam roller gently if needed, but avoid excessive pressure.
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging
Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently work air bubbles towards the nearest edge. If creases are significant, they may need to be carefully eased out or the section may need re-hanging. Ensure the paste is applied evenly to avoid dry spots.
Color inconsistency between rolls
This usually indicates rolls are from different batch numbers. Always check that all purchased rolls have the same batch number before starting application. If colors differ significantly, contact the retailer for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wallpaper uses the 'paste the paper' application method. Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the paper, allow it to 'book' (sit for a short period as per paste instructions), and then hang on the wall. Ensure you have a clean, dry, and smooth surface before starting. Cut the wallpaper using a sharp blade or scissors for clean edges.
Compatibility: Suitable for application on most prepared interior walls. Ensure walls are properly primed and stripped of old wallpaper or paint if necessary. It is not recommended for areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact without appropriate sealing.
Care: The wallpaper is washable. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away minor marks or dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paper and its design. Always ensure you use wallpaper paste compatible with 'paste the paper' types.
