Full details

This Galerie wallpaper, featuring a delicate cream floral damask design on a neutral beige Moire effect silk imitation background, is ideal for homeowners seeking to add a touch of classic elegance to their living spaces. Its key benefit lies in its washable and dry strippable nature, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical maintenance. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific pattern repeat if precise alignment is critical across large areas, though the good lightfastness ensures lasting color.

FAQs

Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen?

While the wallpaper is washable and has good lightfastness, it's generally recommended for living areas, bedrooms, or hallways. For kitchens, consider a more moisture-resistant product due to potential steam and grease.

What does 'Moire effect silk imitation' mean?

The Moire effect refers to a wavy or watered-silk appearance created through a printing process, giving the wallpaper a subtle sheen and texture that mimics the look of natural silk.

How do I measure how much wallpaper I need?

Measure the height and width of each wall. Add these together to get the total width to be covered. Divide the total width by the width of one roll (69.0 cm) to determine the number of strips needed. Account for pattern repeat (if significant) and waste from trimming. It's often recommended to buy an extra roll to ensure consistency and for future repairs.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally best to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper for optimal adhesion and a smooth finish. However, if the existing wallpaper is in excellent condition, firmly adhered, and a smooth, non-vinyl type, you might be able to hang over it after thorough cleaning and priming. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the warranty on this wallpaper?

This Galerie wallpaper comes with a 1-year guarantee.

How durable is the 'good lightfastness' feature?

Good lightfastness means the wallpaper is designed to resist fading when exposed to normal levels of sunlight over time, helping to maintain its original color and appearance for longer compared to wallpapers with poor lightfastness.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not adhering properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use the correct type and amount of wallpaper adhesive as per manufacturer instructions. Apply sufficient pressure when smoothing.

Visible air bubbles after application

Gently lift the edge of the affected area and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to push air out.

Pattern misalignment between strips

Carefully adjust the second strip before the adhesive sets. Ensure the first strip was hung perfectly plumb (vertical). A sharp blade and steady hand are crucial for trimming.

Difficulty in dry stripping

Ensure the wallpaper was applied with the correct adhesive and that the wall surface was properly prepared. If residual paste remains, it can be washed off with warm water and a sponge after stripping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
