Product Information

Full details

The Arthouse Country Tartan Taupe Wallpaper is ideal for homeowners looking to cultivate a rustic, calming atmosphere in high-traffic areas like hallways or living rooms. Its primary benefit is a durable, heavyweight vinyl construction that provides both longevity and the ability to mask minor wall imperfections, though users should note that the traditional tartan pattern requires careful alignment during installation due to its 53cm straight match repeat.

FAQs

Is this wallpaper easy to remove?

Yes, it is designed for easy removal, which makes it a great choice if you plan on updating your decor in the future.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

While the vinyl is durable, it is not explicitly labeled as waterproof, so it is best kept away from areas with constant direct water contact or extreme steam.

What does a 53cm straight match mean?

It means the pattern repeats every 53cm, and the pattern across the width of the strip aligns perfectly horizontally with the adjacent strip.

Does it come pre-pasted?

No, this is a paste-the-wall product, so you will need to purchase a high-quality wallpaper adhesive separately.

Can I paint over this wallpaper?

It is not recommended, as the textured vinyl surface is intended to showcase the tartan pattern rather than serve as a base for paint.

Troubleshooting

Visible seams between wallpaper strips

Ensure the adhesive is applied right to the edge of the strip and use a seam roller to gently press the edges together once positioned.

Pattern does not align correctly

Check that the strip is hung plumb using a spirit level; a straight match requires 53cm of vertical alignment, so ensure the top edge is consistently positioned.

Bubbles appearing under the paper

Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to work bubbles toward the nearest edge immediately after applying the strip to the wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable heavyweight vinyl composition
  • Excellent at concealing minor surface flaws on walls
  • Traditional, soothing color palette
  • Simplified paste-the-wall installation method
  • Suitable for high-traffic environments

Cons

  • Requires precise alignment for the 53cm pattern repeat
  • Specific traditional aesthetic may not suit modern minimalist decor
  • Vinyl weight requires strong adhesive for proper adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure your wall surfaces are clean, dry, and primed appropriately for the adhesive. The "paste-the-wall" technique allows you to apply adhesive directly to the wall rather than the back of the paper, which reduces mess and minimizes the risk of tearing. When aligning your first strip, use a plumb line to ensure the tartan grid stays vertical. For maintenance, the vinyl surface can be gently wiped down with a damp cloth if necessary, making it very low-maintenance compared to more delicate wall coverings. Always keep a few extra rolls for future repairs or patch-ups, as dye lots can vary between production runs.
