Setup
- Prepare the Walls: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free of any old wallpaper or debris. Fill any holes or cracks and sand rough areas. For best results, prime the walls with a wallpaper primer.
- Gather Tools: You'll need a tape measure, level, plumb line, sharp utility knife, smoothing brush or roller, wallpaper paste (Info needed: specific type of paste recommended by manufacturer), and a sponge or damp cloth.
- Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height and add a few extra inches for trimming at the top and bottom. Cut your first strip. For subsequent strips, ensure to match the floral pattern, cutting with an overlap for proper alignment.
- Apply Paste: Info needed: Apply the recommended wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip (if paste-the-paper) or directly to the wall (if paste-the-wall).
- Hang the First Strip: Use a plumb line to ensure your first strip is perfectly straight. Apply from the top down, smoothing out any air bubbles with your brush or roller.
- Continue Hanging: Butt seams tightly against the previous strip, matching the pattern carefully. Smooth each strip as you go.
- Trim Excess: Once dry, carefully trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and baseboards using a sharp utility knife.
Compatibility
This wallpaper is generally compatible with most interior wall surfaces, including plasterboard, plastered walls, and properly prepared painted walls. Ensure the surface is stable, clean, and dry before application. It is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and hallways.
Care
Info needed: For general cleaning, gently wipe the wallpaper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the metallic finish and print. Blot spills immediately to prevent staining.
