FAQs
What type of wallpaper paste should I use?
This is a non-woven wallpaper. We recommend using a paste specifically designed for non-woven (paste-the-wall) wallpapers for best results and ease of application.
Can I hang this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, this wallpaper is suitable for kitchens and hallways. While it can be used in bathrooms, ensure good ventilation to prevent excessive moisture build-up, and always follow care instructions.
How do I measure my walls to know how many rolls I need?
Measure the width and height of each wall in meters. Calculate the square meterage of each wall. Divide the total wall square meterage by the square meterage coverage per roll (check product packaging for this information) to determine the number of rolls needed. Always round up to ensure you have enough.
What is the pattern repeat of this wallpaper?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for the specific pattern repeat information. Accurate pattern matching is key for a seamless look.
Is it possible to remove this wallpaper later?
Yes, non-woven wallpapers are generally strippable. This means that when it's time for redecoration, the wallpaper should peel off the wall easily in dry strips, leaving minimal residue.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is designed to be used as is. Painting over it is not recommended as it may affect the texture, pattern, and durability.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or 'holidays' appearing after hanging.
Carefully lift the edge of the wallpaper near the bubble using a spatula or a specialized tool and smooth it down firmly, ensuring good adhesion. If the bubble is stubborn, a small slit with a craft knife and smoothing may help.
Wallpaper not adhering well to the wall.
Check that the wall surface was clean, dry, and properly prepared (primed if necessary) before application. Ensure the correct wallpaper adhesive is being used, particularly for non-woven types, and that it has been applied evenly to the wall or paper as per manufacturer instructions.
Pattern does not align correctly between strips.
Ensure you are using the correct pattern repeat and aligning the edges precisely. Use a spirit level to ensure the first strip is perfectly vertical, and subsequent strips will follow. Slight adjustments can often be made before the adhesive fully sets.
Difficulty cutting the wallpaper cleanly.
Use a sharp craft knife or razor blade and a straight edge for precise cuts. Change the blade frequently as it dulls, as a dull blade can tear the paper.
