FAQs
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?
While durable, this wallpaper is not specifically designed for high-humidity environments like bathrooms. Prolonged exposure to excessive moisture can affect adhesion and the wallpaper's long-term integrity.
What kind of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
It is recommended to use a high-quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste suitable for embossed or heavy wallpapers. Always refer to the adhesive manufacturer's specific instructions for application and drying times.
How do I clean this Muriva wallpaper?
To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing, as this can damage the metallic finish and the embossed texture of the wallpaper.
Can I paint over this wallpaper if I want a different look later?
Painting over this wallpaper is not recommended. It would cover the unique metallic effect, embossed texture, and intricate marble/floral pattern, thereby altering its intended design and aesthetic.
How do I calculate how many rolls of wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and total width of all the walls you plan to wallpaper. Remember to account for the pattern repeat when calculating, and add extra for trimming and potential mistakes. Many wallpaper retailers provide online calculators or guides to help you determine the exact number of rolls required.
Is this a peel-and-stick wallpaper?
No, this is a traditional wallpaper that requires the application of a separate wallpaper paste to adhere it to the wall. It is not a self-adhesive, peel-and-stick product.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper bubbles or blisters appear after drying.
Small bubbles can often be smoothed out with a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother. For larger trapped air bubbles, carefully pierce the center with a fine pin or craft knife and gently press out the air, smoothing the area with a cloth.
Pattern does not align perfectly between strips.
This is often due to improper measurement or cutting. Always dry-fit your strips against the wall before pasting to confirm pattern match. If already pasted, carefully peel back the strip, adjust, and re-press, ensuring plumb lines are followed accurately.
Edges or seams are lifting after installation.
Apply a small amount of seam adhesive or leftover wallpaper paste directly to the lifting edge. Press firmly with a seam roller or a clean cloth. Hold in place for a moment until it adheres. Ensure walls were properly primed before installation.
Wallpaper isn't sticking well to the wall.
This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation or insufficient paste. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and primed. Apply paste evenly and allow appropriate 'booking' time. For stubborn areas, apply more paste to the back of the wallpaper and press firmly.
Metallic effect appears dull or not as vibrant as expected.
Ensure the room has sufficient lighting to highlight the metallic inks. Sometimes, poor lighting can diminish the visual impact of metallic finishes. Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust that might be dulling the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Achieving a professional finish with your Muriva wallpaper requires careful preparation and application. Follow these steps for best results:
- Prepare the Walls: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from any loose paint or debris. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth. Apply a primer suitable for wallpaper if your walls are porous or newly plastered.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the height of your wall from ceiling to skirting board, adding an extra 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) at the top and bottom for trimming. Cut the first strip. For subsequent strips, carefully match the pattern before cutting to ensure a seamless flow across the wall.
- Apply Adhesive: Apply a high-quality, ready-mixed wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip (or directly to the wall, depending on paste type – always check adhesive instructions). Allow the paste to soak for the recommended time (booking).
- Hang the First Strip: Starting from a plumb line (a vertical guide line), carefully align and hang the first strip from the top down. Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to remove air bubbles, working from the center outwards.
- Match and Hang Subsequent Strips: Align the next strip carefully with the first, ensuring the pattern matches perfectly. Butt the edges together without overlapping. Use a seam roller to gently secure the seams.
- Trim Excess: Once all strips are hung and smoothed, use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board.
- Clean Up: Immediately wipe off any excess paste from the wallpaper surface and seams with a damp sponge.
Compatibility
This wallpaper is suitable for most interior dry walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces that are properly prepared. It is not recommended for use in high-humidity environments such as inside showers or in areas prone to direct water splashes, as this can compromise the adhesive and the wallpaper's integrity.
Care Instructions
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Muriva wallpaper:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or vigorous scrubbing, as these can damage the metallic finish and embossed texture.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: While durable, prolonged exposure to intense, direct sunlight may cause very gradual fading over many years. Consider appropriate window coverings in exceptionally sunny rooms.
- Handle with Care: Avoid sharp objects or excessive friction on the wallpaper surface to prevent scratches or damage to the embossed details.
