FAQs
What tools do I need to install the wallpaper?
You'll need a wallpaper paste, a pasting brush or roller, a smoothing tool, a sharp knife or trimming tool, a measuring tape, a pencil, and a level.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it is best suited for rooms with less moisture, and may not be appropriate for bathrooms without adequate ventilation. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of the wall. Calculate the wall's area, then subtract the area of any doors or windows. Consider the pattern repeat when calculating, and add extra for waste.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The removal method depends on the type of wallpaper and adhesive used. Some wallpapers peel off dry, while others require steaming or the use of wallpaper remover solution.
What type of paste should I use?
Use a good quality wallpaper paste recommended by the wallpaper manufacturer. Follow the instructions on the paste packaging for mixing and application.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
No, this wallpaper is not designed to be painted over. Its aesthetic design is intended to be enjoyed as is.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared with primer. Check that the correct paste is used, and that it is applied correctly. Ensure the wallpaper is being applied to a clean surface and that any grease or grime is removed prior to installation.
Air bubbles appear after application.
Use a smoothing tool to gently push out air bubbles. If bubbles persist, carefully lift the wallpaper and reapply, smoothing as you go.
Seams are visible.
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper strips are butted up closely together without overlapping. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams gently.
