FAQs

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

The pattern repeat for the Holden Décor Check This Out Wallpaper is 26.5cm.

Is this a peel-and-stick wallpaper?

No, this is a traditional wallpaper that requires the use of wallpaper paste.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

This product is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms as it may affect the adhesive and the paper material.

How do I match the pattern?

This wallpaper features a straight match, meaning each strip should be aligned horizontally with the previous one to continue the checkerboard pattern perfectly.

How do I clean the wallpaper once it is up?

Use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp sponge for light cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.

What does lightfastness mean?

Lightfastness refers to how resistant the colors are to fading when exposed to light over time.

Troubleshooting

Pattern appears misaligned at the seams

Check that the plumb line for the first strip was vertical. If the wall is not perfectly square, the pattern will drift; adjust subsequent strips to compensate or re-hang the initial strip.

Bubbles forming after application

Use a smooth wallpaper brush or a felt-covered squeegee to gently work air bubbles from the center of the strip toward the edges while the paste is still wet.

Paper tearing during installation

Ensure the paper has been allowed to soak properly after applying the paste; if it is too dry, it becomes brittle, and if it is over-soaked, it may lose structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless checkered aesthetic works in various room styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this wallpaper, use a high-quality wallpaper paste compatible with standard paper-based wall coverings. Apply the adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip and allow the paper to 'book' or soak according to the paste manufacturer's instructions before hanging.

For care and maintenance, keep the wallpaper away from excessive moisture, as it is not designed for bathrooms or high-humidity environments. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp sponge to gently remove dust. Avoid using abrasive chemicals or heavy scrubbing, as this may damage the surface texture and color integrity.
