Product Information
Full details
The Clarke & Clarke Congo Wallpaper in Green is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to bring a sophisticated, nature-inspired aesthetic into their living spaces. Its primary benefit is the creation of a serene yet dramatic atmosphere through its dense, layered leaf motif and rich, deep color palette. A notable caveat is that the bold, intricate pattern requires precise alignment during installation to ensure the tropical forest design remains visually seamless across the wall surface.

FAQs
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms with showers, as moisture can compromise the adhesive and the paper fibers.
Does this wallpaper come prepasted?
No, this is a traditional paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper product depending on the specific backing, requiring professional-grade wallpaper paste.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the height and width of your wall, multiply them to get the total area, and divide by the coverage area of a single roll, adding 15% for pattern matching and waste.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
The Congo wallpaper features a refined finish that balances matte deep colors with subtle depth, avoiding a high-gloss reflection.
Can I paint over this wallpaper later?
It is highly recommended to strip the wallpaper entirely before painting to ensure a smooth, professional finish.
Are there matching designs available?
Yes, Clarke & Clarke offers the Congo design in other colorways, such as black, which can be used to coordinate themes across different rooms.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams between wallpaper strips
Ensure you are using the correct adhesive type and check that the strips were not over-stretched during application. Use a seam roller gently to flatten edges.
Pattern does not align correctly
Verify you are working from the same batch number (found on the roll label) and ensure the wall is perfectly plumb before hanging the first drop.
Bubbles appearing under the paper
Use a smoothing tool to push excess adhesive or air toward the edges. If bubbles persist, pierce lightly with a fine needle to release air and smooth down.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated, high-end tropical design
- Creates a calming and immersive atmosphere
- Rich color saturation that adds depth to walls
- Matches well with both natural wood and metallic accents
Cons
- Requires careful pattern matching during application
- Not suitable for high-humidity areas like directly inside a shower
- Deep colors may make small, windowless rooms feel darker
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free of imperfections, as the dark, matte-style finish can highlight underlying wall texture. Use a high-quality, recommended adhesive suitable for non-woven or paper wallpapers to prevent bubbling. Always calculate your pattern repeat carefully before cutting; due to the complex tropical design, you should order 10-15% extra to account for wastage during alignment. For daily care, avoid using abrasive cleaners. If dust accumulates, use a dry, soft cloth or a vacuum brush attachment on a low setting. Never saturate the paper with water during cleaning, as this may damage the printed pigments.
