Full details
This Arthouse Teal Mermaid World Wallpaper is designed for DIY decorators and homeowners looking to add a touch of enchantment to their living spaces. Its key benefit is the unique glitter-infused paper that creates a captivating, shimmering effect. A potential caveat is the need for careful pattern matching due to its offset repeat. This wallpaper features a mesmerizing teal color with encased glitter, a paper substrate, and a roll size of 0.53x10.05M, covering approximately 58 square feet per roll. It is unpasted and requires an offset pattern match with a 10.5-inch drop and a 21-inch repeat.

FAQs
What kind of adhesive should I use?
You need an unpasted wallpaper. Use a good quality, clear-based wallpaper adhesive suitable for paper-backed wallpapers. Check the adhesive manufacturer's recommendations for use with glitter-infused papers.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Each roll covers approximately 58 square feet. Measure the length and height of your walls, calculate the total square footage, and divide by 58. Always round up to the nearest whole roll, and consider pattern matching waste.
Can I hang this wallpaper myself?
Yes, this wallpaper is suitable for DIY installation. Following the instructions carefully, especially regarding pattern matching and paste application, will yield the best results.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using any cleaning chemicals, as they can damage the glitter and paper.
What does 'offset pattern match 10.5 inches' mean?
It means that when you hang the next strip, the pattern on that strip needs to be shifted down by 10.5 inches relative to the pattern on the previous strip to create a continuous design.
Is this wallpaper durable?
As a paper-based wallpaper with glitter, it is moderately durable for standard interior use. It is best suited for areas with low traffic and minimal risk of physical abrasion.
Can the glitter come off?
Some minor shedding during application is normal. With proper installation and care, significant glitter loss over time should not occur, but gentle cleaning is key.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging.
Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush, ensuring all air is pushed towards the edges. If the paste has dried, you may need to re-paste that section.
Pattern does not align correctly.
Ensure you are following the 10.5-inch offset match carefully. Check that the previous strip was hung perfectly straight. You may need to trim and re-hang the problematic strip.
Glitter is shedding excessively.
Ensure you are using the correct adhesive and have allowed adequate booking time. Gentle handling during application can minimize shedding. A light mist of a wallpaper sealant *might* help stabilize glitter, but test in an inconspicuous area first as it could alter the finish.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut.
Use a very sharp trimming knife and replace the blade frequently. Cut slowly and deliberately against a straight edge.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds a unique, shimmering visual effect with glitter.
- The teal color provides a deep and attractive aesthetic.
- Sufficient roll size for covering standard wall areas.
- Offset pattern match can simplify the hanging process for some users.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Prime walls if necessary, especially over dark colors or previously wallpapered surfaces.
- This wallpaper is *unpasted*. You will need to apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive (e.g., a clear-based adhesive recommended for glitter wallpapers) evenly to the back of each strip using a pasting brush or roller.
- Allow the pasted paper to 'book' (relax) for the time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer – typically 5-10 minutes. This allows the paper to expand and makes it easier to handle.
- Hang the first strip vertically using a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly straight. Subsequent strips should be hung butt-joined (edges touching but not overlapping) to the previous strip.
- Align the pattern carefully on each subsequent strip, paying close attention to the 10.5-inch offset match. It is often advisable to 'stagger' the pattern repeat from roll to roll when hanging.
- Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Trim excess paper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp trimming knife.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
- Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically protected, as moisture can affect the paper substrate and glitter adhesion.
- Ensure compatibility with your chosen wallpaper adhesive; consult adhesive packaging for suitability with glitter or paper-backed wallpapers.
Care:
- Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture or rubbing, which can dislodge the glitter.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Routine dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner brush attachment (on low suction) can help maintain its appearance.
