FAQs
What does 'paste the paper' mean?
It means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper strip itself, rather than applying paste to the wall.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?
It can be used as a feature in bathrooms, but it's recommended to ensure good ventilation and avoid direct contact with water or excessive steam, as it is made of paper.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
The wallpaper is washable. Use a slightly damp cloth or sponge and wipe gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.
What does a 'straight match' pattern mean?
A straight match means that the pattern on each subsequent strip of wallpaper needs to align horizontally with the pattern on the previous strip at the same point. This requires careful measuring and positioning.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
The dimensions provided are H:6.5 x W:53.0 x D:6.5 cm, which typically refers to the overall size of the roll package. The actual wallpaper coverage will depend on the roll's length and width once unrolled.
Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper first to ensure a smooth, stable surface for the new wallpaper. Hanging over old wallpaper can lead to adhesion problems and an uneven finish.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will typically need wallpaper paste, a paste brush or roller, a smoothing brush or tool, a sharp trimming knife, a straight edge or ruler, a tape measure, and a stepladder.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking well.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Check that the correct type of wallpaper paste has been used and applied evenly. Allow sufficient paste absorption time if recommended by the paste manufacturer.
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging.
Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper strip and re-smooth it onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool, working from the center outwards to push air towards the edges. Small bubbles may disappear as the paste dries.
The pattern does not align correctly.
Carefully adjust the position of the second strip before the paste fully adheres. For straight match papers, precise alignment is key. Double-check that you are not overlapping strips unless specifically required by the pattern.
The wallpaper tears during application.
Handle the wallpaper gently, especially when wet. Use a sharp blade for trimming. If a tear occurs, and it's minor, you may be able to repair it with a little paste and careful smoothing. For significant tears, you may need to replace the strip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth.
- Cut Strips: Measure the height of your wall and cut the wallpaper strips to size, adding a few extra inches (approx. 4-6 cm) for trimming at the ceiling and skirting.
- Apply Adhesive: Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip, following the paste manufacturer's instructions. For paste-the-paper, you apply directly to the paper.
- Hang Wallpaper: Place the pasted strip onto the wall, starting at the top. Use a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool to press it onto the wall, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Pattern Match: Align the next strip carefully, ensuring the Bramble Floral pattern matches precisely with the previous strip. This is crucial for a straight match.
- Trim Edges: Once in position, use a sharp knife or trimming wheel to cut away the excess paper at the ceiling, skirting board, and around any electrical outlets or fixtures.
Compatibility:
- Surface Type: Best applied to properly prepared plastered or lined walls.
- Room Type: Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, hallways. Can be used as a feature in kitchens and bathrooms, but ensure adequate ventilation and avoid direct water contact.
Care:
- Cleaning: This wallpaper is washable. Use a damp (not wet) cloth or sponge to gently wipe away marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, which can damage the design and material.
