FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a measuring tape, a utility knife, a smoothing tool, a wallpaper brush or roller, a plumb bob, a pencil, a bucket, a sponge, and wallpaper adhesive.
Can I install this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is suitable for many areas, it is best to avoid installation in areas with excessive moisture, such as bathrooms. The moisture can affect the wallpaper's adhesion and longevity.
How do I match the pattern?
Carefully align the patterns on each strip of wallpaper before applying it to the wall. This might involve matching the pattern at the top and bottom edges of the wallpaper strips.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
Soak the wallpaper with warm water and use a scraper to remove it. You may need a wallpaper removal solution for more stubborn applications.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Measure the height and perimeter of the walls and calculate the total surface area. Subtract the area of doors and windows. Consider the pattern repeat when calculating wallpaper quantities.
Can I use this wallpaper on textured walls?
It is best to apply the wallpaper to smooth surfaces. Textured walls can make it difficult for the wallpaper to adhere properly. Consider smoothing textured walls before applying the wallpaper.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking to the wall
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed), and use the correct type and amount of adhesive. Allow sufficient drying time.
Air bubbles under the wallpaper
Use a smoothing tool to gently push the air bubbles out towards the edges. Make a small slit with a utility knife and smooth it down.
Seams are visible
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper are butted tightly together. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams. Ensure proper pattern matching.
Wallpaper is fading
Avoid direct sunlight. Close curtains or blinds during peak sunlight hours.
