FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this wallpaper?
The wallpaper mural measures 371cm in width and 280cm in height, distributed across 7 panels.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen?
While it can be used in a kitchen, it's not ideal for areas with high moisture or direct grease splatters. It's best suited for dry areas of the kitchen or used as a feature wall away from cooking zones. Special care should be taken to keep it clean.
Can I reposition the wallpaper if I make a mistake?
Some repositioning may be possible immediately after application, especially with certain types of adhesives. However, once the adhesive begins to set, it becomes more permanent. It's crucial to align panels carefully before smoothing them down.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the print and material.
Does the wallpaper come with adhesive?
This product typically does not include adhesive. You will need to purchase wallpaper adhesive separately. Ensure it is suitable for paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper application, depending on your chosen method.
What kind of tools do I need for installation?
You will need a wallpaper brush or smoother, a sharp utility knife or blade, a measuring tape, a straight edge or ruler, a bucket for adhesive, and a clean cloth.
What is the MPN for this product?
The Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) for this specific wallpaper is 38261-1.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application
Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper panel and re-smooth it onto the wall, working air out towards the edges with a wallpaper smoother. For stubborn bubbles, a pinprick may allow air to escape, but use with caution.
Seams are visible or uneven
Ensure adhesive is applied evenly along edges. If seams are slightly separated, a small amount of wallpaper paste can be applied carefully with a fine brush. If panels were trimmed too short, consider professional adjustment.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut cleanly
Use a very sharp utility knife or a specialized wallpaper trimming knife. Change the blade frequently for a clean cut. Ensure a straight edge or ruler is used as a guide.
Adhesive is not sticking well
Check that the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed). Ensure you are using the correct type and amount of adhesive for the wallpaper and wall surface, and follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust, grease, and old wallpaper. Prime the wall if necessary, especially if it's a new or highly porous surface.
- Layout Panels: Carefully unroll and lay out all 7 panels in the correct sequential order to visualize the complete mural.
- Apply Adhesive: Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the wallpaper panel, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Hang Panels: Starting with panel 1, align it carefully at the top edge and press it onto the wall. Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards.
- Continue Hanging: Hang subsequent panels (2 through 7), ensuring a tight seam between each one. Overlap slightly if recommended by the adhesive, then trim excess.
- Trim Excess: Use a sharp blade to trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling, skirting boards, and corners.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most interior walls (e.g., drywall, plaster).
- Not recommended for heavily textured surfaces, bathrooms (due to high humidity), or outdoors.
Care:
- Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Wipe away any spills or marks immediately to prevent staining.
