Product Information
Full details
The Shae Wallpaper in Pink is designed for homeowners seeking a calm, organic aesthetic for modern interiors, particularly in bedrooms or quiet spaces. Its key benefit is creating a cocooning sense of ease with a sophisticated, textured plaster-effect. A potential caveat is its uncoated non-woven paper construction, which requires careful handling during application.

FAQs
What is the best way to clean this wallpaper?
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using water excessively, abrasive cleaners, or scrubbing, as this is an uncoated non-woven paper.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms due to its uncoated nature. It's best suited for drier interior spaces where it won't be exposed to excessive steam or water.
What type of adhesive should I use?
You must use a high-quality wallpaper paste specifically formulated for non-woven wallpapers. Always follow the paste manufacturer's instructions.
How do I prepare the walls before hanging?
Walls should be clean, dry, smooth, and free from defects. It's recommended to prime the walls with a suitable non-woven wallpaper primer for optimal adhesion.
What does 'limewash effect' mean for the texture?
The limewash effect means the wallpaper has a subtle, matte, textured finish designed to mimic the appearance of traditional limewashed plaster. It offers a natural, organic look rather than a smooth, flat surface.
Is this wallpaper washable?
No, this wallpaper is not considered washable. It can be carefully wiped with a slightly damp cloth, but it is not designed to withstand significant cleaning or scrubbing.
Where is the best place to use this wallpaper?
It is ideal for creating a calm and organic atmosphere in bedrooms, living areas, or quiet spaces like reading nooks. It's particularly effective as a feature wall.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or imperfections appear after application
Gently try to smooth out the bubbles towards the nearest edge with a wallpaper smoother while the paste is still wet. If the paste has dried, carefully prick the bubble with a pin and smooth it down.
Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall
Ensure you have used the correct type of paste for non-woven wallpaper and that it was applied evenly to both the wall and the paper (if required by paste instructions). Re-paste the affected area.
Seams are visible or separating
This could be due to insufficient paste at the edges or paste drying too quickly. Apply a small amount of seam adhesive to the edges if they have dried, or ensure adequate paste application during hanging.
Color appears different from the sample
Lighting conditions can affect color perception. Check the wallpaper in different lights throughout the day. Ensure you are using wallpaper from the same dye lot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Wall Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper, paint, or debris. Prime the walls with a suitable non-woven wallpaper primer.
- Paste Application: Apply a high-quality wallpaper paste specifically designed for non-woven materials to the wall or the back of the paper, following the paste manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

- Adhesive: Use only non-woven wallpaper paste.
Care:
