FAQs

What is a straight match?

A straight match means the pattern aligns horizontally across the width of the wallpaper roll. This design match begins at the ceiling line and ensures the pattern will match up on either side of the strip, creating a horizontal sequence.

How do I apply the paste?

For this wallpaper, you apply the paste directly to the wall. This 'paste-the-wall' method simplifies the process and reduces mess.

How do I clean the wallpaper?

You can gently wipe the surface with a damp sponge to remove any marks or stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if the seams are visible?

Ensure the edges of the wallpaper strips are butted up closely together. You can also use a seam roller to smooth out the edges and create a better finish.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?

While the wallpaper is spongeable, consider the humidity levels in a bathroom. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture damage.

How do I remove this wallpaper?

This wallpaper is fully strippable, making it easy to remove when you want to change your décor. Start at a corner and peel away the paper.

What should I do if the batch numbers don't match?

If the batch numbers don't match, the color or pattern may vary slightly. Do not hang mismatched rolls, and contact the retailer to exchange the wallpaper rolls.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a smoothing brush or tool, a sharp knife or trimming tool, a measuring tape, a pencil, a level, and the appropriate wallpaper paste.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper seams are visible.

Ensure the edges of the wallpaper strips are butted up closely together, and the pattern is properly aligned. Use a seam roller for a smoother finish.

Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.

Make sure you're using the correct wallpaper paste for paste-the-wall applications, and that the wall surface is clean and prepared properly. Ensure enough paste is applied.

Bubbles are forming under the wallpaper.

Use a smoothing brush to push out the bubbles from the center to the edges. Ensure the wall is properly prepared and free from any imperfections before hanging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper and repair any imperfections.
  2. Apply Paste: Using the paste-the-wall method, apply the wallpaper paste directly to the wall, covering an area slightly wider than the width of a wallpaper strip.
  3. Hanging the Wallpaper: Align the first strip with the ceiling line, ensuring it is straight. Use a smoothing brush or tool to eliminate any air bubbles and to ensure the wallpaper adheres to the wall.
  4. Straight Match: Line up subsequent strips, ensuring the design matches at the seams. Trim any excess paper at the top and bottom.
