FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use?
A good quality, standard wallpaper adhesive suitable for paste-the-paper vinyl or non-woven wallpapers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen or bathroom?
The wallpaper is washable, making it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms where minor splashes may occur. However, it is not waterproof and should not be used in areas with high humidity or direct water exposure without appropriate sealing.
How do I handle corners with this wallpaper?
For internal corners, ensure the wallpaper slightly overlaps onto the adjacent wall by about 1-2 cm and trim neatly. For external corners, wrap the wallpaper around the corner by about 1-2 cm and secure firmly.
What does 'Free Match' mean?
Free Match means that when hanging the next strip of wallpaper, the pattern does not need to be aligned with the previous strip at a specific point. You simply butt the edges together, but careful attention is still needed to ensure the visual flow of the wood panel design is continuous.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
While the design is painted, it is generally not recommended to paint over this wallpaper as it may obscure the detailed wood grain effect and potentially affect its washability.
How many rolls do I need for my room?
To calculate this, measure the width and height of your walls to determine the total square meterage. Refer to the roll dimensions and coverage information on the product packaging, accounting for pattern repeat and wastage. It's always advisable to purchase an extra roll to ensure consistency and for future repairs.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application
Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush or roller, ensuring the adhesive is evenly spread and the paper is not stretched.
Pattern does not align correctly
Ensure you are butting the edges precisely. Double-check that the first strip was hung perfectly straight. Adjust the next strip carefully to match the design flow.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut
Use a sharp, fresh blade in your utility knife for clean cuts. A long ruler or straight edge can help guide the knife.
Adhesive seems to be drying too quickly
Ensure the room is not too warm. Work in smaller sections and prepare paste for only a few strips at a time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint.
- Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall.
- Unroll the wallpaper and cut strips to the required length, allowing for trimming at the top and bottom.
- Paste the paper and allow it to 'book' according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Apply the first strip vertically, ensuring it is level.
- Butt the edges of subsequent strips together, carefully aligning the pattern to achieve a seamless 'free match'.
- Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or roller, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp knife.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously papered surfaces (ensure they are sound).
- Not recommended for areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact, such as shower enclosures, unless properly sealed.
Care:
- This wallpaper is washable. To clean, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
