FAQs
What does 'Paste the Paper' application mean?
This is a traditional wallpaper application method where the adhesive is applied directly to the back of the wallpaper itself, rather than to the wall.
What is a 'Straight Match Pattern Repeat'?
A straight match means that the pattern on one strip of wallpaper should align horizontally with the pattern on the adjacent strip at the same level. The repeat is 53cm, indicating the distance before the pattern begins to look identical.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is washable and has good lightfastness, it is best suited for bedrooms and living rooms. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, ensure adequate ventilation or consider applying a waterproof sealer over the wallpaper.
How do I ensure the colours match if I need more rolls later?
It is crucial to order all the wallpaper you need for your project at the same time. Check that all rolls have the same batch number printed on their labels. If you need more later, the exact shade may not be available due to variations between batches.
How durable is the 'Good Lightfastness' rating?
This rating indicates that the wallpaper is designed to resist fading caused by exposure to sunlight and indoor lighting. It suggests the colours will remain vibrant for a considerable period under normal conditions.
What does 'Wet Removable' mean?
'Wet Removable' means that when you are ready to redecorate, the wallpaper can typically be removed by soaking it with water, and it should come off cleanly, often in large pieces, with minimal residue left on the wall.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging.
Gently brush the wallpaper towards the nearest edge with a clean wallpaper brush or a soft cloth while the paste is still wet. If the paste has dried, you may need to carefully lift the affected area and re-smooth.
Pattern does not align correctly between strips.
Ensure you are using the correct 'Straight Match Pattern Repeat' (53cm). Check that the wall is not bowed and that your first strip was hung perfectly vertical. Slight adjustments can sometimes be made by gently easing the paper before the paste fully sets.
Wallpaper is difficult to remove.
Ensure the wallpaper is fully dry. If it is not coming away easily, try steaming the paper or using a dedicated wallpaper stripper solution as per product instructions. Check if the wall was properly prepared and if any water-based paints were applied over it, which could affect removability.
Different shades or patterns appear on adjacent strips.
This is likely due to different batch numbers. Always ensure all rolls ordered for the same project have matching batch numbers printed on the label. If shades differ, contact the retailer immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any cracks or holes and sand down any bumps.
- Measure and cut your wallpaper strips, allowing for trimming at the ceiling and skirting board.
- Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of each strip according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Book the pasted paper by folding the pasted ends together for a few minutes (if recommended by adhesive instructions).
- Hang the first strip vertically, ensuring it is level. Press firmly from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Align subsequent strips, matching the pattern repeat carefully. Use a seam roller for neat joints.
- Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp knife and a straight edge.
Compatibility:
- This wallpaper is suitable for application on most interior walls, including plaster, previously papered surfaces (if in good condition), and lining paper.
- It is recommended for use in bedrooms and living rooms. While washable, prolonged exposure to high moisture (e.g., bathrooms, kitchens) should be avoided unless a suitable wallpaper sealer is applied.
Care:
- To clean, gently wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.
- The 'Good Lightfastness' rating means it should resist fading from normal indoor light exposure.
- It is 'Wet Removable', meaning it can be peeled off the wall when dry, often in large pieces, with minimal residue when redecorating.
