Use a high-quality wallpaper paste suitable for the type of wallpaper and your wall surface. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions.
How do I calculate how much wallpaper I need?
Measure the height and width of the walls to be covered and calculate the total surface area. Consider the pattern repeat of the damask design and factor in extra for matching and waste. It's always best to have a little extra.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it's best to avoid using it in areas with excessive moisture, such as a bathroom without adequate ventilation.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The removal method depends on the type of adhesive used. Generally, you can score the paper with a tool, then use a wallpaper remover solution and a scraper.

Pattern repeat information is available on the product packaging or from the manufacturer. It's important to know the repeat to accurately match the pattern during installation.

Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared and primed. Check the wallpaper paste application and drying time. Consider using a stronger adhesive if necessary.
Bubbles or air pockets under the wallpaper.
Use a wallpaper smoothing brush or tool to gently push out the air bubbles while the paste is still wet. Use a seam roller to smooth the seams.
Pattern misalignment.
Carefully realign the wallpaper, matching the pattern repeats. Double-check your measurements and cut the wallpaper with extra length to allow for pattern matching.
