FAQs

What is the best type of adhesive to use?

Use a wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for non-woven wallpapers, following the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.

How do I calculate the amount of wallpaper needed?

Measure the height and width of your wall(s). Calculate the total square footage, and take into account the pattern repeat (41cm) to minimize waste. Consult a wallpaper calculator or professional for precise measurements.

Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?

While the wallpaper is spongeable, it is best suited for rooms with less moisture. Consider ventilation in bathrooms to prevent any issues.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a measuring tape, level, pencil, wallpaper paste, pasting brush or roller, smoothing brush, sharp blade, straight edge, and a seam roller.

How do I remove the wallpaper?

Since the wallpaper is fully strippable, lift a corner and gently pull it away from the wall. If it is difficult to remove, use a wallpaper scorer to perforate the surface, and then apply warm water to help loosen the adhesive.

What if the pattern doesn't line up perfectly?

Slight variations can occur. Ensure that the edges are butted together, and the pattern match is as close as possible. This is why having extra wallpaper is beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles appear after hanging.

Use a smoothing brush to gently push the air bubbles towards the edges of the wallpaper. For persistent bubbles, carefully slice the bubble with a sharp blade and smooth it out.

Seams are visible after drying.

Ensure the edges are tightly butted together during installation. Use a seam roller for a smooth finish. If seams are still visible, gently dab the edges with a matching color paint.

Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.

Ensure you have used the correct paste and applied it evenly to the wall. Check the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for the recommended drying time. Make sure the wall surface is clean and not overly absorbent.
