FAQs
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The pattern repeat is 64cm, with an offset match of 32cm.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
You can gently wipe the wallpaper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive water.
What application method should I use?
This is a paste-the-paper wallpaper, meaning you apply the adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper before hanging.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
Each roll measures 10.05 meters (32.9 feet) in length and 53cm (21 inches) in width.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?
While washable, it is a paper substrate and not ideal for very humid or wet environments like bathrooms without excellent ventilation. It's best suited for living areas.
What does 'good lightfastness' mean?
Good lightfastness means the wallpaper's colours are resistant to fading when exposed to sunlight over time.
Can I use this wallpaper on a textured wall?
It is best applied to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces. Heavy textures may need to be smoothed or a liner paper applied first for best results.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking firmly
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed). Check that sufficient adhesive has been applied and allowed to book correctly. Use a quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for paper substrates.
Pattern does not align correctly
Verify that the correct offset match (32cm) is being used. Ensure the wallpaper is hung straight using a plumb line. Trimming excess paper from edges can sometimes help with alignment.
Bubbles or air pockets appear
Smooth the wallpaper firmly from the center outwards towards the edges using a wallpaper brush or smoother immediately after hanging. If bubbles persist after drying, carefully prick with a pin and smooth down.
Colour appears different than expected
Lighting conditions can affect how colour appears. View the wallpaper in natural daylight after it has fully dried. Ensure you are using rolls from the same batch number.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wallpaper utilizes a paste-the-paper application method. You will need to apply wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the paper before hanging it on the wall. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from old adhesive or loose paint. Allow the pasted paper to 'book' (sit for the recommended time on the instructions) before applying to the wall.
Compatibility: Ideal for interior walls in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces. Ensure walls are properly prepared and primed. Not recommended for areas of extreme humidity without adequate ventilation or protection.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paper substrate. Test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
