FAQs

While the wallpaper is washable, it is generally recommended for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For kitchens and bathrooms, consider wallpapers specifically designed for higher humidity environments.
How should I prepare my walls before applying this wallpaper?

Yes, this Oakleigh Trail wallpaper can be co-ordinated with its matching plain textile wallpaper from the Crown range for a cohesive interior design.
How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?

Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, primed). Check that the correct type and amount of paste has been applied evenly to the wallpaper and allowed to 'sit' for the recommended duration.
Pattern not aligning correctly
Verify that the correct half drop match (26.5cm repeat) is being followed. Double-check that each strip is hung level and that no strips are accidentally rotated 180 degrees.
Air bubbles or wrinkles appearing
Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently push air towards the edges as you hang each strip. If bubbles persist after drying, a small pinprick might release trapped air, but this should be a last resort.
Difficulty removing wallpaper
While designed to be strippable, ensure you use a steamer or appropriate wallpaper remover solution if it proves difficult, especially if it has been up for a long time or adhered poorly initially.
Damage to the fabric effect texture
Avoid excessive scrubbing or abrasive cleaning materials. Gentle wiping with a damp cloth is recommended for cleaning.
