FAQs
What type of paste should I use for this wallpaper?
This is a paste-the-wall vinyl wallpaper. Use a high-quality, pre-mixed vinyl wallpaper adhesive specifically designed for paste-the-wall applications. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?
The wallpaper is scrubbable. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
What does 'Offset Match' mean for this wallpaper?
An offset match means that the pattern on each subsequent strip of wallpaper is shifted horizontally. For this wallpaper, the pattern repeat is 53cm, with an offset of 26.5cm, meaning you align the pattern every other drop.
Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. Ensure the wall is clean and dry after removal.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
Each roll measures 10.05 meters in length and 53 centimeters in width.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?
While the wallpaper is scrubbable and has good lightfastness, it is best suited for living areas. For kitchens and bathrooms, consider wallpapers specifically designed for high-moisture environments.
How durable is the metallic highlight effect?
The metallic highlights are integrated into the vinyl finish and are designed to be durable. Gentle cleaning should not affect them, but harsh scrubbing could potentially cause wear.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application.
Gently lift the affected section and re-smooth it with a wallpaper brush, ensuring the paste is still wet. If the paste has dried, it may be necessary to re-paste the wall section.
Difficulty aligning the offset pattern match.
Take your time and use a level for the first drop. Measure and cut subsequent drops carefully, referring to the 53cm/26.5cm pattern repeat. It may be helpful to have a second person assist with alignment.
Wallpaper is difficult to trim.
Ensure you are using a very sharp knife or trimming tool. Score the wallpaper lightly along the edge of the ceiling or skirting board and then make a clean cut.
Paste is visible on the wallpaper surface.
Immediately wipe away any excess paste from the wallpaper surface with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure you are not applying too much paste to the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose material. Fill any cracks or imperfections and sand smooth. Prime the walls if necessary.
- Cut wallpaper to the required length, allowing for a few extra inches at the top and bottom for trimming. Remember to account for the offset match by aligning subsequent drops carefully.
- Apply a specialized wallpaper paste evenly to the wall, following the paste manufacturer's instructions. Do not paste the paper itself.
- Hang the first drop vertically, ensuring it is level. Smooth out any air bubbles using a wallpaper brush or smoothing tool, working from the center outwards.
- Apply subsequent drops, carefully aligning the pattern repeat (53cm horizontally, 26.5cm vertically offset) with the previous drop.
- Trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp knife.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. It is compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces that are properly prepared. Avoid applying to heavily textured or damp surfaces.
Care:
- Scrubbable: Minor marks and smudges can be gently wiped away using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the texture and finish.
- Strippable: When redecorating, this wallpaper can be stripped from the wall. It should peel off in large sections, leaving minimal residue.
