FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
It is recommended to use a high-quality wallpaper paste specifically designed for the type of wallpaper you are using (e.g., paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper). Check the product packaging for specific recommendations.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
While it can be used in well-ventilated bathrooms, it is not recommended for areas with high humidity or direct water contact, such as shower enclosures, without a suitable sealant applied over the top.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Measure the width and height of your walls. Divide the total wall area by the area covered by one roll of wallpaper. Always add an extra 10-15% to account for pattern matching and potential errors.
Is this wallpaper vinyl or paper-based?
This wallpaper is described as printed chintz and wallpaper lengths, originally block-printed. It is likely a high-quality paper-based product, not vinyl. Always refer to specific product details for material composition.
How do I remove this wallpaper when I want a change?
Most quality wallpapers can be removed by stripping. Start by peeling from a corner. If difficult, use a wallpaper steamer or a solution of warm water and a little fabric softener or wallpaper remover.
What is the historical significance of the Willow Bough pattern?
The Willow Bough pattern was one of William Morris's favourite motifs, originally designed as wallpaper in 1887 and adapted for fabric in 1895. It reflects his love for natural forms and the Arts and Crafts movement's aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or peeling edges
Ensure the wall was properly prepared and primed. Reroll the affected area with a seam roller while the adhesive is still wet. If dry, gently lift the edge, apply more adhesive with a fine brush, and smooth back down.
Pattern not matching correctly
Carefully re-trim the edge of the second panel to ensure a precise overlap or butt joint according to the pattern. Double-check measurements and cutting before applying adhesive.
Adhesive marks visible after drying
Use a clean, damp sponge to gently wipe away any excess adhesive before it dries completely. For dried marks, a slightly damp cloth might remove them, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Colour fading over time
Avoid direct, prolonged sunlight exposure to the wallpapered area. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, which can affect print quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and properly primed before application. Measure and cut wallpaper sections carefully, paying close attention to pattern matching to minimize waste. Use the recommended wallpaper adhesive for optimal adhesion. Follow the manufacturer's specific application instructions regarding paste the wall or paste the paper techniques.
Compatibility: This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. It is generally compatible with plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces that are in good condition. Avoid applying to damp or uneven surfaces. For best results, use with a suitable primer.
Care: To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the print and paper. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth rinse. Regular dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment is recommended.
