Full details
The Harlequin Wallpaper Mala in Black is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to create a high-impact, sophisticated aesthetic through bold, deco-inspired wall treatments. Featuring a chalky matte base contrasted by striking gold metallic palm leaves, this wallpaper provides an immediate sense of drama and luxury to any interior space. While its bold pattern offers significant visual interest, the high-contrast finish requires careful wall preparation to ensure the dark background does not highlight existing surface imperfections.

FAQs
Can I install this wallpaper in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless the room has exceptional ventilation, as moisture can affect the paper's finish.
Is the gold finish prone to scratching?
The metallic elements are durable for standard use, but avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive cleaning tools to maintain the shine.
Does the wallpaper come in other colors?
Yes, the Mala collection is available in Pink, Yellow, and Grey variants to suit different interior color schemes.
Do I need to paste the wall or the paper?
Follow the specific instructions on the roll label, as Harlequin wallpapers typically require a paste-the-wall or traditional paste-the-paper application method depending on the batch.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls, account for the pattern repeat, and include an extra 10-15% for trimming and waste.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper seams are visible
Ensure that the wall has been primed with a color-matched primer to hide the white base of the wall underneath the dark seams.
Adhesive residue on the surface
Gently wipe away any wet adhesive immediately with a soft, clean, damp cloth; do not rub excessively as it may alter the matte finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is key to maintaining the visual impact of this design. Always ensure walls are clean, dry, and primed before beginning application. When hanging, it is recommended to use a premium-grade, ready-mixed wallpaper adhesive suitable for heavy-weight decorative papers. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or rough sponges, as these can damage the delicate matte texture or the metallic foil on the palm leaves. Use a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. If light cleaning is required, gently dab with a slightly damp, non-abrasive microfiber cloth, taking care not to scrub the surface.
