FAQs
Is this wallpaper pre-pasted?
No, this is a non-woven wallpaper that requires the application of a high-quality wallpaper adhesive to the wall surface.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
Non-woven paper is generally not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless they have excellent ventilation, as constant moisture can impact the longevity of the paper.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your walls, multiply to get the total square footage, and add 10-15% for pattern matching and trimming waste.
Is this paper washable?
It is recommended to clean the surface only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water or liquid cleaners to prevent damage to the paper fibers.
Does the wallpaper come in other colors?
Yes, there is a sibling variant available in a cream colorway (MPN 147084) for those seeking a lighter aesthetic.
Is this paper easy to remove later?
Yes, being a non-woven product, it is designed to be strippable, which typically allows for easier removal in full sheets when you are ready to redecorate.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams between wallpaper strips
Ensure the wallpaper is not being stretched during installation and use a seam roller gently to press the edges together while the adhesive is still tacky.
Air bubbles trapped behind the paper
Use a felt-covered smoothing tool or a soft wallpaper brush to gently push the bubbles toward the nearest edge of the strip.
Pattern does not align at the seams
Check your roll batch numbers to ensure consistency and ensure you are allowing enough excess at the top and bottom for vertical pattern matching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for achieving a professional finish with this non-woven wallpaper. Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and smooth before beginning the application. Because it is a non-woven product, you can typically apply the adhesive directly to the wall rather than the back of the paper, which streamlines the process. When aligning the pattern, always work from the center of the wall outwards to manage the repeat of the birds and floral motifs. For ongoing care, the paper can be lightly dusted with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as the intricate ink details and the paper surface can be damaged by moisture or vigorous scrubbing.
