FAQs
What tools do I need to hang the wallpaper?
You'll need a measuring tape, level, pencil, wallpaper adhesive, smoothing tool, sharp blade, seam roller, and a damp cloth.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it is best suited for rooms with less humidity, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms. Ensure the area is well-ventilated if used in a bathroom.
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of the walls to be papered. Calculate the total square footage and account for pattern repeats and waste. Consult a wallpaper calculator or a professional for accurate measurements.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a high-quality, pre-mixed wallpaper adhesive suitable for the wallpaper type. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.
How do I remove the old wallpaper?
Soak the old wallpaper with warm water and use a wallpaper scraper to remove it. You may need to use a wallpaper remover solution for stubborn wallpaper.
Can I paint over the wallpaper?
It's generally not recommended to paint over wallpaper, as it may not adhere well and could affect the design. If you need to change the wall color, it's best to remove the wallpaper and paint the wall directly.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared and primed. Use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive and ensure it's suitable for the wallpaper type. Apply sufficient adhesive to the wall and the wallpaper. Press the wallpaper firmly to the wall, smoothing out any air bubbles.
Air bubbles appear after hanging.
Use a smoothing tool to push out air bubbles from the center to the edges. If bubbles persist, gently lift the wallpaper and re-apply, ensuring no air is trapped.
Seams are visible.
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper are butted up closely together without overlapping. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams. Clean off any excess adhesive.
Wallpaper tears during application.
Handle the wallpaper gently. Use a sharp blade to cut the wallpaper. If a tear occurs, try to carefully align and re-adhere the torn section. Consider using a matching paint to touch up any imperfections.
