FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use for this wallpaper?
You should use a standard wallpaper adhesive suitable for paper-backed vinyl or acrylic wallpapers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While the wallpaper is washable and has good lightfastness, it is best suited for living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms. For areas with high humidity like bathrooms or kitchens, a vinyl wallpaper specifically designed for such environments is recommended.
How do I remove this wallpaper when I want to redecorate?
For paper-backed wallpapers, you can typically remove them by scoring the surface and then peeling them off. If adhesive residue remains, use a wallpaper stripper solution or warm, soapy water and a scraper.
What does 'free pattern match' mean?
A free pattern match means that the pattern on each successive strip of wallpaper doesn't need to align with the strip next to it. You can hang the next strip wherever it looks best, as long as it is hung vertically and level. This typically results in less waste than a straight or drop match.
How durable is the 'lightly textured' finish?
The light texture adds a tactile element and visual interest. It is generally durable for standard interior use, but like any textured surface, it can be more susceptible to damage from heavy impact or abrasive cleaning than a smooth finish.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is designed as a decorative finish and is not intended to be painted over. Painting may obscure the distressed stripe effect and damage the surface.
What are the dimensions of a standard roll?
Standard wallpaper roll dimensions can vary. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer information for the exact dimensions of this specific Holden wallpaper roll.

If bubbles appear, gently push them towards the nearest edge using a wallpaper smoother or brush. For stubborn bubbles, you may need to carefully prick them with a pin and smooth them down. Ensure paste is applied evenly and without skips.
Pattern doesn't align correctly
Although this is a free pattern match, ensure the wallpaper is hung level and plumb. Check that the wallpaper is not stretched or distorted when applying. If slight misalignment occurs, adjust the strip gently before the paste sets.
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall
Ensure the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive has been used and applied evenly to the paper. Check that the wall surface is properly prepared and not too porous. Allow adequate 'booking' time for the paste to activate before hanging.
Marks or smudges on the wallpaper
Use a clean, damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid using excessive water or abrasive cleaning materials, as this could damage the surface or pattern.
