FAQs
What is the 'Paste the Paper' method?
This traditional method involves applying wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper strips. The pasted paper is then left to 'book' for a short period before being applied to the wall.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
The wallpaper is washable. You can gently wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge to remove light marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While washable, this wallpaper is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments. For bathrooms, consider using a moisture-resistant wallpaper or applying a suitable wallpaper sealer over this paper for added protection.
What does 'Good Lightfastness' mean?
Good lightfastness indicates that the wallpaper is resistant to fading when exposed to natural light over time, helping to maintain its original color and appearance.
How do I ensure the pattern matches across rolls?
Always check that all rolls of wallpaper purchased have the same batch number printed on the label. This ensures color and pattern consistency. When hanging, align the pattern elements of the new strip with the previously hung strip before smoothing.
How do I remove this wallpaper when redecorating?
This wallpaper is strippable. You can peel it off the wall, typically starting at a seam. If any residue remains, it can usually be removed with warm water and a scraper.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
Each roll of this wallpaper measures 0.53 meters in width and 10.05 meters in length.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is bubbling or peeling
Ensure the wall surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared before hanging. Re-paste the affected area, ensuring even paste coverage, and press firmly. Allow adequate drying time.
Seams are visible or lifting
Check that paste was applied to the edges of the strips. Use a seam roller or a clean, damp cloth to press down any lifting edges immediately after hanging. Ensure adequate paste application on subsequent strips.
Color variation between strips
Confirm that all rolls used have the same batch number. If different batch numbers were inadvertently mixed, contact the supplier immediately to discuss potential solutions, though significant color variation between batches is rare.
Pattern does not align correctly
Ensure the wallpaper is hung straight using a spirit level for the first strip. Carefully align the pattern on the second strip with the first before applying paste and pressing into place. Minor adjustments can be made during the 'booking' time.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut
Use a sharp, fresh blade in your utility knife or wallpaper scissors. Ensure the paper is fully booked and slightly damp from the paste, which can make it more pliable. Cut carefully against a straight edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a 'Paste the Paper' wallpaper. Ensure you have wallpaper adhesive suitable for this type of paper. Apply paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strips, allowing the recommended booking time (usually 5-10 minutes) for the paste to penetrate before hanging. For best results, use a pasting table. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Use a spirit level to hang the first strip perfectly straight, as subsequent strips will follow.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining rooms. Avoid areas with excessive moisture unless a suitable wallpaper sealer is applied. Ensure batch numbers match on all rolls ordered to guarantee color consistency.
Care: This wallpaper is washable. Light marks and smudges can be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the paper. For more stubborn marks, a mild detergent diluted in water may be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth rinse.
