Product Information
Full details
This Galerie Colette A4 Wallpaper Sample in Green is ideal for interior designers and homeowners looking to visualize a traditional Jacobean-inspired design with a modern silk imitation and a delicate cream floral damask. Its key benefit is providing a tangible feel for the texture and color before committing to a full roll. A potential caveat is that it's a sample, so full room application will require purchasing full rolls.

Troubleshooting
Sample does not match expectations in lighting.
View the sample in different areas of the room at various times of day to simulate real-world conditions. Consider ordering a larger sample or a small swatch if available.
Sample is creased or damaged upon arrival.
Contact the retailer immediately to report the damage and request a replacement sample. Handle the sample carefully to prevent further damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a sample, direct installation is not applicable. However, when considering the full wallpaper product:
Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint. Prime the walls if necessary.
Application: Typically applied with wallpaper paste suitable for non-woven wallpapers. Follow the specific instructions provided with the full wallpaper rolls regarding paste type, application, and hanging techniques (e.g., paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper).
Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls, including living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas. Avoid high-moisture environments like bathrooms unless the full product is specified as moisture-resistant.
Care: For the full wallpaper, dust regularly with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. For light marks, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this may damage the silk imitation and affect the moire effect.
