FAQs

What does 'offset match' mean?

Offset match, also known as drop match or half drop, means that when you hang the second strip of wallpaper next to the first, you need to drop the pattern down by half of its repeat distance (16 cm in this case) so that the pattern joins up correctly across both strips.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?

This wallpaper is generally recommended for living areas and bedrooms. It is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms, as excessive humidity could affect its adhesion and finish.

How much wallpaper do I need?

Measure the width and height of your walls. Divide the total wall width by the wallpaper width (0.52m) to find the number of strips needed. Account for the pattern repeat (64/16 cm) and trimming allowance when calculating the number of rolls. It's often advisable to buy an extra roll for matching and potential future repairs.

How do I clean the glitter off if it comes loose?

The glitter is applied as part of the design. Gentle dusting with a soft cloth should remove loose particles. Avoid scrubbing or using cleaning agents, which can remove the glitter and damage the finish.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to hang new wallpaper over old, especially if the old wallpaper is textured, vinyl, or peeling. The wall surface must be smooth, sound, and dry for optimal adhesion and finish.

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

The pattern repeat for this wallpaper is 64 cm, with an offset match of 16 cm. This means the design repeats every 64 cm vertically, and for an offset match, you align the pattern by dropping the subsequent strip by 16 cm.

Where can I find the batch number?

The batch number is typically printed on the manufacturer's label on the inside of the wallpaper roll. Always check this before starting to hang.

Troubleshooting

Pattern does not align correctly

Ensure you are following the 'offset match' or 'drop match' instructions precisely. Double-check that you are dropping the second strip by the specified amount (16 cm in this case) relative to the first. Ensure the wall is perfectly vertical for the first strip.

Bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging

Gently use a wallpaper brush or a clean, soft cloth to smooth out bubbles towards the nearest edge before the paste fully dries. If bubbles persist, you may need to carefully slit them with a fine blade and smooth down.

Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Check that you have used the correct type and amount of wallpaper paste for this 'paste-the-paper' product. Allow adequate 'soaking' time for the paste.

Metallic ink or glitter seems uneven

This is an inherent characteristic of the design. Ensure batch numbers match on all rolls to maintain consistency. Apply evenly, and avoid harsh cleaning methods that could dislodge glitter.

Batch numbers do not match

Contact your retailer immediately to exchange rolls so that all have the same batch number. Using different batches can result in slight color or sheen variations.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a touch of modern elegance and luxury to interiors.
  • The metallic ink and glitter create a visually striking and dynamic effect.
  • Paste-the-paper application is a familiar method for many DIY decorators.
  • Suitable for creating a statement accent wall or a cohesive patterned room.
  • The geometric pattern offers a contemporary aesthetic.

Cons

  • Requires careful attention to the offset pattern match for seamless application.
  • Glitter and metallic finishes may not suit minimalist decor styles.
  • The pattern repeat of 64/16 cm might lead to more waste on smaller walls or complex layouts.
  • Paste-the-paper method can be messier than paste-the-wall alternatives.
  • Metallic inks and glitter can sometimes show imperfections on uneven walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free from old wallpaper or loose paint. Prime bare plaster or porous surfaces.
  2. Cutting: Measure your wall height and add approximately 10-15 cm for trimming at the top and bottom. Cut strips from the roll.
  3. Pasting: Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip. Allow the paste to 'relax' or 'soak' for the time recommended by the paste manufacturer (usually a few minutes).
  4. Hanging: Paste the paper directly to the wall. Align the first strip vertically using a spirit level. Subsequent strips should be hung edge to edge, ensuring the pattern aligns with the previous strip according to the 64/16 cm offset match.
  5. Trimming: Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp wallpaper knife and a straight edge.

Compatibility:

  • This wallpaper is designed for interior walls.
  • Best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas.
  • Avoid areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact, such as bathrooms (unless specifically rated for such use).

Care:

  • To clean, use a slightly damp cloth. Gently wipe the surface to remove dust or light marks.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive water, as these can damage the metallic ink and glitter.
  • Always test cleaning methods on a small, inconspicuous area first.
