FAQs

What does `Paste the Paper` mean?

`Paste the Paper` means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper strip itself, not to the wall. After applying paste, you 'book' the paper (fold it paste-to-paste) for a few minutes to let it soak before hanging.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?

This wallpaper is `wet removable` and recommended for bedroom and living room use. While it is `spongeable` for cleaning, it is not designed for high-humidity environments like bathrooms or areas with frequent splashing, such as kitchens.

What type of paste should I use?

You should use a good quality, all-purpose wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for `paste the paper` wallpapers. Always follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

How do I calculate how many rolls I need?

Measure the height and total width of the walls you wish to cover. Divide the total width by the wallpaper's width (`52cm`). Multiply this by the number of drops needed (wall height divided by `10m` roll length). Remember to account for the `53cm` pattern repeat and add extra rolls for wastage, especially with a straight match pattern. It's always better to have a little extra than not enough.

What does `Straight Design Match` mean?

`Straight Design Match` means the pattern on each strip of wallpaper matches horizontally at the same level across the wall. You will need to align the pattern at the top of each new strip with the pattern on the previous strip to ensure a continuous design.

Is this wallpaper easy to remove?

Yes, this wallpaper is `wet removable`. When you wish to change it, you can simply dampen the wallpaper with water and it should peel off more easily than non-removable types, making future redecoration simpler.

Can I paint over this wallpaper?

While technically possible, painting over wallpaper is generally not recommended, especially with a patterned design like this. The texture and pattern would likely show through, and the paint could affect its removability. If you want a new color, it's best to remove the wallpaper and paint the wall directly.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or Wrinkles Appear After Hanging

During application, use a wallpaper brush or smoother to work air bubbles from the center outwards. Small bubbles may disappear as the wallpaper dries. If persistent, carefully lift the affected area, re-smooth, or use a wallpaper seam roller for edges.

Seams are Visible or Lifting

Ensure strips are accurately butted together without overlapping. Use a seam roller to gently press down edges after hanging. If seams lift after drying, a small amount of seam adhesive can be carefully applied underneath and pressed down.

Pattern Does Not Match Up Correctly

This wallpaper has a `straight` design match. Before cutting, lay out dry strips and verify the pattern alignment. Re-measure and re-cut if necessary. Careful pre-planning and double-checking each cut against the previous strip are crucial.

Wallpaper Not Sticking Properly

Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and properly primed. Use a high-quality wallpaper paste suitable for `paste the paper` applications. Ensure paste is applied evenly and generously to the back of the wallpaper, especially at the edges. Allow sufficient `booking` time for the paper to relax before hanging.

Accidental Tears or Damage During Application

Small tears can often be mended by carefully applying a small amount of paste to the underside of the torn piece and pressing it back into place. For larger tears or more visible damage, consider using a leftover piece of wallpaper to carefully cut and patch the area, aligning the pattern precisely.

Pros and Cons

  • Relatively easy `paste the paper` application method for DIYers.
  • Spongeable surface allows for simple cleaning and maintenance.

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment due to `straight` design match for a seamless panel effect.
  • "Paste the paper" method may be perceived as messier than "paste the wall" for some users.
  • Not suitable for high-moisture environments like bathrooms, primarily designed for bedrooms and living rooms.
  • While convincing, it is a wallpaper and lacks the tactile texture of actual wood panels.
  • Incorrect application can lead to visible seams or bubbles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup (Paste the Paper Application):

  1. Prepare Your Walls: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free of dust or loose paint. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth. For best results and easier removal, a primer may be applied.
  2. Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall, adding an extra `10cm` at the top and bottom for trimming. Cut your first strip of wallpaper. Remember the `53cm` straight design repeat when cutting subsequent strips to ensure the pattern aligns correctly.
  3. Apply Paste: Lay the cut strip face down on a clean pasting table. Apply a good quality wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the paper, ensuring edges are well covered. Refer to paste manufacturer instructions for drying time.
  4. Hang the First Strip: Fold the pasted paper gently, paste to paste, and allow it to 'relax' for the recommended time (known as 'booking'). This allows the paper to expand. Carefully unfold and align the top edge of the first strip with the ceiling line or desired starting point. Smooth it down the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove any air bubbles.
  5. Align Subsequent Strips: For each subsequent strip, ensure the pattern matches perfectly with the previous strip due to the `straight` design match. Butt edges together, do not overlap. Smooth out bubbles and excess paste.
  6. Trim Excess: Once all strips are hung, carefully trim the excess paper at the top and bottom using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is specifically recommended for bedrooms and living rooms. Its soft aesthetic pairs well with both contemporary and traditional interiors. Given its `wet removable` attribute, it is not ideal for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens where moisture exposure is frequent.

Care (Spongeable):

To clean your wallpaper, simply use a lightly dampened sponge or cloth. Gently wipe the affected area. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the paper or fade the color.
