Brand: William Morris At Home Design Match: Offset Pattern Repeat: 32 cm Washability: Spongeable Applications: Paste the Wall Paper Please note: Offset match is also known as drop match or half drop. When hanging a second wallpaper length next to the first length already on the wall, the second length is dropped by the distance indicated so that the pattern joins up across both lengths. Please note: When using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper, the paste is applied directly to the wall before hanging each strip. This wallpaper is made with a special backing that does not expand when wet; therefore, it does not need to soak as in other application methods. Using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper could cut your hanging time in half. Since the wallpaper does not need to soak prior to hanging, it can be hung more easily and quickly. Also, you won't need to set up a pasting table which can also save you some of the mess and clean up. It is also fully strippable when you fancy a change. Please check that all batch numbers are matching before hanging the wallpaper. Marigold was designed by William Morris and registered as a wallpaper in 1875. The pattern incorporates larger marigold flowers amongst sprays of willow like leaves, on a sub-pattern of smaller foliage and flowers. The monochrome pattern was produced in a wide variety of colourways. Morris also registered the design as a printed cotton later in 1875, one of only three designs Morris specifically intended to be produced as both a textile and a wallpaper.

FAQs
What is 'Paste the Wall' wallpaper?
With 'Paste the Wall' wallpaper, you apply the paste directly to the wall rather than the wallpaper, making it easier and faster to hang.
What tools do I need?
You will need a smoothing brush or roller, a sharp knife, a straight edge, a measuring tape, a level or plumb line, and wallpaper paste suitable for non-woven wallpaper.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls and consider the pattern repeat (32cm) when calculating the number of rolls required. It's always best to order a little extra to account for waste.

What if the batch numbers on the rolls don't match?
If batch numbers don't match, the colour may vary slightly between rolls. Contact the seller if batch numbers are different.

Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering to the wall.
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Use sufficient paste and press the wallpaper firmly onto the wall, paying attention to the edges.
Visible seams or gaps between wallpaper strips.
Carefully align the edges of the wallpaper strips during installation. Use a seam roller to gently press the seams together. Check the batch numbers.
Pattern not aligning correctly.
Double-check the offset match instructions (32cm). Ensure each strip is properly aligned before pressing it onto the wall.
Wallpaper is bubbling or wrinkling after application.
Use a smoothing brush or roller to remove air bubbles. Ensure the wall is not overly wet, or the paste is not drying too fast. Consider the temperature and humidity of the room
