FAQs
What is 'Paste the Wall' application?
'Paste the Wall' means you apply the adhesive directly to the wall surface instead of to the back of the wallpaper. This method is generally quicker and less messy than traditional pasting.
Can this wallpaper be used in a high-traffic area?
Yes, it is suitable for most interior walls. However, for very high-traffic areas or areas prone to scuffing, consider its textured nature and the potential for wear over time. Gentle cleaning is advised.
How do I clean the embossed texture?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for gentle wiping. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can damage the texture and finish. Regular dusting is recommended.
Does the golden sheen look overpowering?
The golden sheen is described as subtle, adding a refined, modern touch without being ostentatious. It's designed to catch the light gently, enhancing the overall elegance.
Will this wallpaper cover existing minor cracks?
Yes, the textured embossed finish and the design are intended to help discreetly cover minor cracks and imperfections on the wall surface, contributing to a flawless look.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need wallpaper adhesive, a pasting brush or roller, a sharp trimming knife, a straight edge, a clean brush or roller for smoothing, and a bucket for water and adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or air pockets after hanging
Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper and re-smooth the area with a wallpaper brush or roller, ensuring the adhesive is evenly distributed on the wall. For small bubbles, a pinprick may allow air to escape.
Wallpaper not adhering well
Check that the wall surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Ensure the correct type and amount of adhesive were used. Reapply adhesive to the wall and press the wallpaper firmly into place.
Pattern not matching between strips
Carefully adjust the second strip until the pattern aligns perfectly before smoothing it down. Ensure you are not overlapping the strips. Use a straight edge and sharp knife for precise trimming if needed.
Difficulty trimming edges
Use a very sharp trimming knife and a metal ruler or straight edge. Make a single, clean cut. Replace the blade frequently for best results.

- Hang the Wallpaper: Butt the edges of the wallpaper strips together; do not overlap. Use a clean brush or roller to smooth out air bubbles and ensure good adhesion.

Compatibility:

Care:
To maintain the appearance of the wallpaper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the embossed texture and finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Regular dusting with a soft brush or feather duster is recommended.
