FAQs
What type of adhesive should I use with this wallpaper?
It is essential to use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically recommended for the type of wallpaper and your wall surface. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions for the precise adhesive type and preparation.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
This wallpaper is designed for standard interior walls. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, it's best to check the product's specific suitability or consult the manufacturer, as standard wallpapers may not withstand constant humidity.
How do I remove this wallpaper when I want to change it?
Removal methods vary by wallpaper type. Typically, start by peeling at a corner. If it's difficult, steam or a wallpaper stripper solution may be needed. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'pattern repeat' mean?
Pattern repeat refers to the point at which the wallpaper pattern begins to visibly repeat itself vertically. This measurement is crucial for calculating how much wallpaper to order and for aligning panels correctly during application.
Is the 'Silver' colorway a metallic silver?
The description mentions a 'striking background' and 'delicate lines' in 'Light Grey'. While 'Silver' is in the name, it likely refers to a shade of grey rather than a high-shine metallic finish. Please refer to product images or a physical sample for exact color representation.
How do I clean a small scuff mark on the wallpaper?
For minor marks, try gently wiping the area with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid rubbing too hard or using any cleaning agents, as this may damage the surface or pattern.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after application.
Gently lift the affected section of the wallpaper and re-smooth it using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to push out air.
Pattern does not align correctly between panels.
Carefully peel back the misaligned panel and adjust its position. Ensure the pattern repeat is correctly matched before applying firm pressure. Some wallpapers have a slight overlap or 'slide' allowance.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut.
Ensure you are using a sharp utility knife or blade. For thicker wallpapers, a new blade may be required for each section.
Adhesive seems weak or is drying too quickly.
Check the type of adhesive recommended by the manufacturer and ensure it is mixed correctly. If using paste-the-wall, ensure the paste is applied evenly. If paste-the-paper, ensure the paper has had the correct 'booking time' to absorb the paste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Proper application is crucial for achieving a seamless look. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's specific instructions, which typically involve:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or grease. Prime if necessary.
- Measuring and Cutting: Measure the wall area and cut wallpaper panels, allowing for pattern repeat.
- Adhesive Application: Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the paper or directly to the wall, depending on the type (e.g., paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper).
- Hanging: Carefully hang each panel, smoothing out air bubbles with a brush or roller and ensuring edges align with the previous panel.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is intended for interior wall surfaces in dry areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, and home offices. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless specifically stated by the manufacturer for such use.
Care:
To maintain the appearance of the wallpaper:
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster.
- For light marks, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the pattern or material.
