Muriva Apple blossom Natural Wallpaper - Cream

A straight design match means that the pattern on one strip of wallpaper lines up horizontally with the pattern on the adjacent strip. This simplifies the hanging process as you don't need to offset the pattern between drops.

Measure the height and width of your walls. Calculate the square meterage of each wall and divide by the roll coverage (found on the packaging). Always round up to the nearest full roll and consider the pattern repeat when ordering to ensure you have enough for any necessary cuts and potential future repairs.

For this paper-based wallpaper, a standard, high-quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for 'paste-the-paper' application is recommended. Always check the wallpaper packaging for specific recommendations.

This is a paper-based wallpaper and is not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens, as it can be damaged by steam and humidity. It is best suited for dry interior living spaces.

It means that every 53 centimeters down the roll, the pattern design repeats itself. This is important to know when calculating how many rolls you need and how to hang subsequent strips to maintain the pattern's continuity.

Since it's made of paper, it's not washable. You can gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth or a wallpaper brush. If there are minor marks, you can try wiping very carefully with a slightly damp cloth, but avoid getting it too wet.

It is generally best to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper to ensure a smooth, flat surface and proper adhesion. If the existing wallpaper is securely adhered and flat, this wallpaper might adhere, but it is not the recommended method.

This can happen if the paste is uneven or if the paper was not smoothed out properly. Try to gently smooth out bubbles with a wallpaper brush towards the nearest edge. If the bubble is large and cannot be smoothed, you may need to carefully slit it with a craft knife and smooth it down, or in severe cases, re-hang the strip.

Ensure you are working on a plumb line and that each strip is hung vertically. Double-check that you are aligning the pattern from the edge of the previous strip precisely. For a straight match, the horizontal design should align perfectly. Adjust the strip slightly before the paste fully sets, if possible.

Use a very sharp craft knife and a metal ruler or straight edge. Make a single, decisive cut. If the paper tears rather than cuts cleanly, change your blade frequently. It is often easier to trim after the paste has slightly set but before it has completely dried.

This is why it's crucial to check that all rolls have the same batch number before starting. If you discover a mismatch, contact your retailer immediately before hanging any paper. Do not mix rolls from different batches on the same wall.
