FAQs
What is the roll size of this wallpaper?
The wallpaper comes in a standard roll size of 10 meters in length and 53 centimeters in width.
What does 'Offset Pattern Match' mean?
It means that when you hang the next strip of wallpaper, you need to align the pattern by shifting it sideways relative to the previous strip, rather than matching it edge-to-edge. This is indicated by a symbol on the packaging.
Can I apply this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is generally best to remove old wallpaper before applying new. If the existing wallpaper is sound, vinyl, and well-adhered, you might be able to paste over it, but testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended. Ensure the surface is smooth and clean.
How do I clean this textured wallpaper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust or light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the texture or adhesive.
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it is vinyl and has good lightfastness, it is not specifically rated as extra washable or moisture-resistant. For areas with high humidity or frequent moisture, consider wallpapers specifically designed for kitchens and bathrooms.
What does 'Paste the Paper' mean?
'Paste the Paper' means that you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly onto the back of the wallpaper itself, rather than pasting the wall.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the width and height of your walls to determine the total square footage. Account for the roll width (53cm) and the pattern repeat. Many online calculators can assist with this, but always add a little extra for trimming and potential mistakes.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking well
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, primed). Check that the correct type of adhesive has been used and applied generously. Allow the wallpaper to book for the recommended time.
Air bubbles or wrinkles are visible
Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently push air bubbles towards the edges. If wrinkles persist, you may need to carefully lift the strip and reapply, ensuring the adhesive is still tacky.
Pattern does not align correctly
Double-check the pattern repeat and the 'offset' indication. Ensure each strip is hung vertically straight using a spirit level. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by gently stretching or repositioning before the adhesive fully sets.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut
Use a sharp craft knife or utility blade and a metal ruler. Change the blade frequently for clean cuts. Ensure the wallpaper is taut when cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or old wallpaper adhesive.
- Prime the walls with a suitable wallpaper primer for optimal adhesion.
- Cut wallpaper strips to the required length, allowing for a slight overlap at the ceiling and skirting board.
- Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip using a pasting brush or roller.
- Allow the pasted paper to 'relax' or 'book' for the time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
- Position the first strip on the wall, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level.
- Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Match the pattern on the next strip and repeat the process.
Compatibility:
Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound and non-flaking).
Care:
Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the surface is allowed to dry naturally.
