Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking well
Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Verify that the correct type of wallpaper adhesive for 'paste the paper' application has been used and mixed properly. Check that the adhesive was applied evenly to the wallpaper and that the booking time was followed.
Visible seams between strips
This is usually due to improper alignment of the pattern repeat or not butting the edges together precisely. Ensure the 53cm pattern is matched accurately with each new strip. Use a sharp knife and straight edge to trim edges cleanly before hanging.
Bubbles or air pockets after hanging
Gently smooth out bubbles towards the nearest edge using a wallpaper brush or a clean, soft cloth while the adhesive is still wet. If bubbles appear after drying, carefully prick them with a fine needle and smooth down.
Pattern doesn't align correctly
Double-check the pattern repeat measurement (53cm) and ensure you are aligning subsequent strips precisely. It may be necessary to slightly trim or adjust the edge of a strip to achieve a perfect match.

- Apply adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip, ensuring full coverage, especially at the edges.
- Allow the adhesive to 'sit' for the recommended time (booking time) as per adhesive instructions before hanging.

Compatibility:
This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways. It is not recommended for bathrooms or kitchens where high moisture levels are present. Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared and primed for best results.
Care:
