Hoopla Walls Wallpaper - Geometric - Green

This method involves applying wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall instead of the back of the wallpaper. The wallpaper is then hung directly onto the pasted wall, simplifying the process and often speeding up installation.

When hanging the second and subsequent strips, overlap the edge of the previous strip slightly and carefully match the repeating diamond pattern. Use a smoothing tool to ensure a flat finish. It's often helpful to have a second person assist with alignment.

While it can be used in kitchens, it's generally not recommended for bathrooms due to high humidity. If used in a kitchen, ensure good ventilation and consider applying a wallpaper sealant for added protection against moisture and grease.

Use a high-quality, ready-mixed or powdered wallpaper adhesive specifically recommended for 'paste-the-wall' or 'heavyweight' wallpapers. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

The finish is designed to be durable for standard interior use. However, like all wallpapers, it can be susceptible to damage from sharp objects or excessive rubbing. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain its appearance.

It is wipeable with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the surface and pattern. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly and rinse with a clean damp cloth.

Ensure wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or old adhesive. Apply sufficient, even adhesive directly to the wall. Check if the correct type of adhesive for paste-the-wall wallpaper has been used.

Carefully align the edges of each strip, ensuring the geometric pattern repeats seamlessly. Use a sharp blade and straight edge for precise trimming at edges and corners. Ensure the wall is flat and smooth.

Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to push air bubbles towards the nearest edge. Work from the center of the strip outwards. If bubbles persist, you may need to lift the strip carefully and re-apply.

Paste-the-wall wallpapers are generally easier to remove. Try peeling from a corner. If it's difficult, a wallpaper scorer can be used, followed by steaming or a suitable remover, as per standard wallpaper removal practices.
