Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering well
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and porous). Check that the correct type and amount of adhesive have been used and applied evenly. Allow adequate booking time for the paste to activate.
Pattern does not align correctly
Double-check the pattern repeat measurement (64cm) and the offset match (32cm). Ensure strips are hung straight and plumb using a spirit level. Be patient and adjust alignment carefully on subsequent strips.
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear
Use a wallpaper brush or seam roller to gently smooth out air bubbles towards the nearest edge. If bubbles persist after drying, they may need to be carefully pricked with a pin and smoothed down.
Color fading over time
While the wallpaper has good lightfastness, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually cause fading. Consider using window treatments to limit direct sun exposure on the walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wallpaper is designed for a paste-the-paper application. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of the paper according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Allow a short booking time if recommended by the adhesive. Hang the strips, aligning the pattern repeat (64cm with a 32cm offset match) as you go. Smooth out air bubbles with a wallpaper brush or roller.
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously papered surfaces (ensure the old paper is firmly adhered). Not recommended for areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact without appropriate sealing.
Care: The wallpaper is washable. Use a damp (not wet) cloth or sponge to gently wipe away minor marks or smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which could damage the finish or print.
