Full details
This Shae Teal Limewash Wallpaper is designed for homeowners seeking to create a moody, organic, and textured plaster-effect in modern interiors. Its key benefit is delivering a rich petrol blue hue that can make spaces feel cocooning and serene, ideal for bedrooms or quiet areas.

FAQs
What kind of finish does this wallpaper have?
The wallpaper has a textured, limewash, plaster-effect finish on uncoated non-woven paper, providing a matte and organic look.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a high-traffic area?
While durable for its type, the uncoated finish is best suited for lower-traffic areas like bedrooms or living rooms. For very high-traffic areas, consider a more robust or washable wallpaper.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
You can gently wipe the wallpaper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water.
Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It's generally best to remove old wallpaper first for optimal adhesion and a smooth finish. If you must hang over existing wallpaper, ensure it is firmly adhered and provides a smooth, clean surface.
What is the best way to apply paste?
Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions. Typically, paste is applied evenly to the back of the wallpaper panel or directly to the wall.
What is the color 'Shae Teal Limewash' like?
It is a rich, deep petrol blue hue that creates a moody and organic atmosphere, reminiscent of limewashed plaster.
Does this wallpaper have a repeat pattern?
The wallpaper is designed to mimic a natural plaster effect, so while there is a pattern for alignment, it aims for a continuous, organic look rather than a strict repeat.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging
Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool, ensuring the paste is evenly distributed.
Pattern does not align between panels
Carefully adjust the positioning of the panel before the paste sets. If already set, you may need to re-hang the panel or the previous one for a better match.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut
Ensure you are using a very sharp, fresh blade in your utility knife. Replace the blade frequently for clean cuts.
Paste shows through on the surface
Ensure you are using the correct amount of paste and that it is applied evenly. Wipe away any excess paste immediately with a clean, damp sponge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Prime walls if necessary to ensure good adhesion, especially on new plaster or previously painted surfaces.
- Measure and cut wallpaper panels according to wall height, adding a slight overlap for trimming.
- Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper panel or directly to the wall, following the paste manufacturer's instructions.
- Hang the first panel, ensuring it is perfectly vertical using a spirit level.
- Butt-join subsequent panels, aligning the limewash pattern as you go. Use a wallpaper brush to smooth out air bubbles.
- Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp blade.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound).
- Not recommended for use in high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically sealed and protected.
Care:
