Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone looking to understand and effectively use the Laura Ashley Elderwood Multicolor Wallpaper. It offers a classic British design with an easy 'Paste The Wall' application, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced decorators. A key benefit is the strippable and spongeable nature of the wallpaper, allowing for easy removal and maintenance. However, it's important to note the offset match with a 20.87 inch pattern repeat, which requires careful planning during installation.

FAQs

What is 'Paste The Wall' application?

It is a method where you apply the adhesive directly to the wall instead of the wallpaper. This makes the process quicker and easier.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?

While the wallpaper is spongeable, bathrooms with high humidity might require extra consideration. Ensure proper ventilation.

How do I remove the wallpaper?

This wallpaper is strippable, meaning you can peel it off the wall without the need for soaking or steaming.

What type of adhesive should I use?

You should use an adhesive specifically designed for 'Paste The Wall' applications. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

What is the pattern repeat?

The pattern repeat is 20.87 inches. This means the pattern repeats every 20.87 inches horizontally and vertically, which affects how you align the wallpaper during installation.

Can I paint over this wallpaper?

This wallpaper is not designed to be painted. It is meant to be used as is.

How do I clean the wallpaper?

Gently wipe the wallpaper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What if I run out of wallpaper?

It is best to order enough wallpaper from the same batch to ensure color consistency. If you need more, try to find the same batch number on additional rolls to guarantee a perfect match.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth). Check that you're using the correct adhesive and applying it evenly to the wall. Press the wallpaper firmly to the wall and use a smoothing tool to remove air bubbles.

Visible seams or pattern misalignments

Carefully align the wallpaper, matching the pattern repeat. Ensure the seams are butted tightly together. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams. For misalignments, re-cut and reposition the wallpaper, accounting for the pattern offset.

Air bubbles under the wallpaper

Use a smoothing tool to push out air bubbles from the center to the edges. For large bubbles, carefully lift the wallpaper, re-apply adhesive if necessary, and smooth again.
