FAQs
What tools do I need to install the wallpaper?
You will need a measuring tape, level, pencil, wallpaper adhesive, smoothing brush or seam roller, sharp knife or scissors, and a sponge or damp cloth.
Can I apply this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is durable, it is best suited for rooms with less humidity. Ensure proper ventilation if installing in a bathroom.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Measure the height and width of the walls you plan to cover and calculate the total square footage. Then, consider the pattern repeat and wastage when determining how many rolls to purchase. It is always a good idea to have extra rolls.
How do I remove the wallpaper?
The removal process depends on the type of wallpaper and adhesive. You may need to score the surface with a wallpaper scorer, then use a wallpaper removal solution and a scraper. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for the type of wallpaper and wall surface. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for preparation and application.
Can I paint over the wallpaper?
It is generally not recommended to paint over wallpaper, as it may affect the design and texture. If you want to change the color, you are better off removing the wallpaper and repainting the wall.
How do I match the pattern when hanging the wallpaper?
Carefully align the patterns from one strip to the next, following the manufacturer's instructions. Some patterns require a straight match, while others require a drop match.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper bubbles after application.
Use a seam roller to smooth out any bubbles or imperfections. If bubbles persist, carefully lift the wallpaper and re-apply, ensuring proper adhesion.
Seams are visible.
Ensure the edges of the wallpaper are butted up closely together during installation. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams. Consider using a seam adhesive for a more seamless finish.
Wallpaper is not adhering to the wall.
Make sure the wall is properly primed and that the correct adhesive is being used. Ensure the wallpaper is applied evenly and pressed firmly against the wall.
Wallpaper tears during application.
Handle the wallpaper with care and avoid pulling or stretching it. If a tear occurs, try to carefully align the torn edges and apply a small amount of adhesive to secure it.
