The overall effect is one of gentle sophistication, blending natural elements with an air of modern minimalism. This wallpaper creates a feeling of openness and tranquillity, making it perfect for spaces that seek a calm, serene atmosphere, ideal for bedrooms and living rooms. Design Match: Offset Pattern Repeat: 64 cm Washability: Spongeable Application: Paste the Wall. When using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper, the paste is applied directly to the wall before hanging each strip. This wallpaper is made with a special backing that does not expand when wet; therefore, it does not need to soak as in other application methods. Using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper could cut your hanging time in half. Since the wallpaper does not need to soak prior to hanging, it can be hung more easily and quickly. Also, you won't need to set up a pasting table which can also save you some of the mess and clean up. It is also fully strippable when you fancy a change. Offset match is also known as drop match or half drop. When hanging a second wallpaper length next to the first length already on the wall, the second length is dropped by the distance indicated so that the pattern joins up across both lengths. Please check that all batch numbers are matching before hanging the wallpaper.

It offers a straightforward approach to achieving a tranquil and modern look in your bedroom or living room.

FAQs
What is the paste-the-wall method?
Paste-the-wall involves applying the wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall instead of the wallpaper itself, making the application process faster and cleaner.
What is an offset pattern?
An offset pattern requires the pattern on each strip of wallpaper to be aligned horizontally with the adjacent strips, with a specific 'drop' or 'offset' distance. For the Arlington wallpaper, this is 64 cm.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
Use a damp sponge to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?
While the wallpaper is spongeable, consider the humidity levels in your bathroom. Proper ventilation is essential to avoid potential issues.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
Superfresco Easy Arlington wallpaper is fully strippable. Start by lifting a corner and slowly pulling the wallpaper from the wall.
What tools do I need?
You will need a pasting brush or roller, a smoothing tool, a sharp blade or utility knife, a measuring tape, a level, and a pencil.
How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls, calculate the total area, and subtract the area of any doors or windows. Then, consult the wallpaper roll's coverage to determine the number of rolls needed, accounting for pattern repeats.
What if my batch numbers don't match?
Always check that the batch numbers on all rolls of wallpaper are the same before you start. If they don't match, the color may vary between rolls, which will be very noticeable.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper isn't sticking to the wall.
Ensure sufficient paste has been applied to the wall. Check for any air bubbles and smooth them out.

Make sure you are properly matching the pattern. Ensure strips are butted up closely without overlapping.
