FAQs
What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?
The specific pattern repeat for the Clover Midnight wallpaper should be checked on the product's packaging or manufacturer's specifications, as precise alignment depends on this measurement.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?
While non-woven wallpapers are generally more durable, this particular design is best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and dining rooms due to its rich aesthetic. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, wallpapers specifically designed for such environments are recommended.
How much wallpaper do I need to order?
Measure the width and height of your walls, calculate the total square meterage, and then determine the number of rolls needed based on the roll dimensions and pattern repeat. It is always advisable to order an extra roll to account for mistakes or future repairs.
Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper for the best adhesion and finish. If you choose to hang over existing wallpaper, ensure the old surface is smooth, sound, and stable.
What type of adhesive should I use?
As this is a non-woven, paste-the-wall wallpaper, a high-quality 'paste-the-wall' adhesive is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific adhesive chosen.
How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets marked?
For light marks, use a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the surface of the wallpaper.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging
Immediately after hanging a strip, use a clean smoothing tool or brush to gently push air bubbles towards the edges. If bubbles are still present after drying, a small pinprick may allow trapped air to escape, but proceed with caution to avoid damaging the paper.
Pattern does not align correctly
Ensure you are using the correct pattern repeat and that the strips are hung vertically plumb. Measure and mark a vertical guideline before starting. If a strip is slightly misaligned, you may be able to gently adjust it before the paste fully sets.
Wallpaper is peeling at the edges
This often indicates insufficient paste or a poorly prepared surface. Gently lift the peeling edge, apply a small amount of appropriate wallpaper adhesive to both the edge and the wall, and press firmly back into place. Wipe away any excess paste immediately.
Colour appears different than expected
Lighting conditions significantly affect colour perception. Check the wallpaper in different lighting throughout the day. Also, ensure you have received the correct colourway ('Midnight') as ordered.
