FAQs

What kind of paint should I use?

Use a paint suitable for walls. Latex or acrylic paints are commonly used and provide good coverage.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?

While the wallpaper is durable, consider the humidity levels in the bathroom. Ensure good ventilation to prevent moisture damage.

How do I remove the wallpaper?

Score the surface with a wallpaper scorer or knife, then apply wallpaper remover solution. Let it sit for the recommended time and then peel off the wallpaper.

Can I apply this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally recommended to remove existing wallpaper before applying new wallpaper for the best results. However, ensure the existing wallpaper is well-adhered and in good condition.

How much wallpaper will I need?

Measure the height and width of the walls, calculate the total square footage, and factor in pattern repeats to determine how many rolls you need.

Is this wallpaper washable?

Yes, you can gently clean the wallpaper with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall is properly prepared, use the correct adhesive, and apply enough adhesive to the wallpaper and/or wall. Press firmly with a smoothing tool to remove air bubbles.

Bubbles appearing after application

Use a smoothing tool to gently push bubbles out towards the edges. If bubbles persist, carefully lift the wallpaper and reapply, ensuring no air is trapped.

Seams are visible

Ensure the edges are butted together tightly during application. Use a seam roller if necessary. Avoid applying too much adhesive, which can cause the wallpaper to expand.
