Metropolitan Stories Wallpaper Hawaii Wave - Galerie - Beige

For vinyl wallpapers like the Galerie Metropolitan Stories collection, a high-quality, ready-mixed or powder adhesive specifically formulated for vinyl and heavyweight papers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

While vinyl wallpapers are more durable and washable, this design is best suited for low-humidity areas like living rooms or bedrooms. For bathrooms or kitchens, ensure adequate ventilation or consider using a specific vinyl wallpaper designed for high-moisture environments.

Measure the width and height of each wall in your room. Add a few inches to each measurement for trimming. Divide the total square footage by the square footage covered by one roll (check product specifications) and round up to the nearest whole number to account for pattern repeat and waste.

This is a vinyl wallpaper, which is generally strippable when dry. However, the ease of removal can depend on the adhesive used and how long it has been on the wall. Ensure you follow proper removal techniques to avoid damaging the underlying wall surface.

The pattern repeat information is crucial for installation and can usually be found on the wallpaper roll packaging or product description. This will dictate how much wallpaper you need to purchase to ensure the pattern aligns correctly across strips.

For internal corners, ensure the wallpaper extends slightly onto the adjacent wall and trim precisely. For external corners, wrap the wallpaper around the corner by about 1-2cm and then butt the next strip against it, ensuring a tight fit.

Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth it with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards. Ensure adhesive was applied evenly.

Carefully peel back the last strip and readjust. Ensure you are using a level and taking care during the hanging process. A sharp knife may be needed to trim if slight misalignment occurs.

Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing. For textured vinyl, a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner can remove surface dust.

Ensure the correct type of wallpaper adhesive for vinyl wallpaper was used and applied generously to the wall. Check for drafts during drying, which can cause premature weakening.
