FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Kaito wallpaper?
The main advantage is its ability to add sophisticated texture and subtle visual movement with its ombre effect, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere without being overpowering.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen?
It is best suited for dry interior areas. While it can be used in a kitchen, it's not ideal for areas with high moisture or direct steam. Sealing it with a suitable wallpaper sealant might improve its durability in such environments.
How is the 'paste-the-wall' application different from traditional wallpapering?
With paste-the-wall, you apply the adhesive directly to the wall surface, and then hang the dry wallpaper strip. Traditional methods involve pasting the back of the wallpaper and letting it 'book' (rest) before hanging.
Can I remove this wallpaper easily?
Most paste-the-wall wallpapers are strippable, meaning they can be peeled off the wall in large sections when dry. However, ensure proper installation and adhesion for optimal removal.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
You should use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for paste-the-wall products. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the textured surface?
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the embossed texture.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or imperfections appearing after hanging
Gently push out air bubbles towards the nearest edge using a soft brush or wallpaper smoother before the adhesive fully dries. If dried, small bubbles may resolve on their own as the paper settles. For larger bubbles, carefully prick with a pin and smooth down.
Wallpaper not sticking well
Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and free of dust/grease). Check that the correct type and amount of adhesive were used, and that it was applied evenly to the wall. Allow adequate drying time for the adhesive.
Pattern not aligning correctly
Ensure each strip is hung perfectly straight using a spirit level. Carefully adjust the strip while the adhesive is still wet to align the pattern. For subsequent strips, ensure they are butted up precisely against the previous one.
Damage to the textured finish during hanging
Handle the wallpaper carefully to avoid scuffing or tearing the embossed surface. Use only soft brushes or smoothers and avoid excessive pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wallpaper features a paste-the-wall application, meaning you apply the adhesive directly to the wall before hanging the paper. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper, dust, or grease. Use a quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for paste-the-wall products. Cut lengths according to your wall height, allowing for a small overlap at the ceiling and skirting. Hang strips side-by-side, butting the edges together for a seamless finish.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound and not peeling). It is best suited for dry interior areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. It is not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically treated with a suitable sealant.
Care: To maintain the appearance, gently wipe the wallpaper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the textured finish and the paper. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean with a dry cloth immediately.
