Full details

The Clarke & Clarke Kisumu Wallpaper in Black is ideal for homeowners and designers looking to bring a sophisticated, nature-inspired aesthetic into their living spaces through an African-toile design.

FAQs

Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

This wallpaper is not specifically listed as moisture-resistant. It is best suited for dry living areas like bedrooms, lounges, or hallways.

Does the wallpaper come pre-pasted?

No, this is a traditional "paste the paper" product, requiring a high-quality wallpaper adhesive to be applied to the back of the paper.

Can I use this on all four walls?

While possible, the bold nature of the Kisumu design is generally recommended for a feature wall to prevent the pattern from overwhelming the room.

How do I calculate how many rolls I need?

Measure the total width and height of the wall, account for the pattern repeat, and always add 10% for trimming and wastage.

Will the metallic accents fade over time?

When kept away from direct, harsh sunlight and cleaned only with soft cloths, the metallic accents will retain their luster for years.

Troubleshooting

Pattern not aligning at seams

Check if you have accidentally swapped the orientation of the strips; ensure the top edge of the wallpaper is consistent throughout the roll application.

Adhesive showing through seams

Use a damp, lint-free cloth to gently dab (do not rub) the excess adhesive immediately after application.

Bubbles appearing after drying

Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to gently push the air toward the nearest edge; if bubbles persist, you may have used too little adhesive in those spots.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, use a high-quality, professional-grade adhesive suitable for heavy-duty wallpapers. When hanging, ensure you measure your vertical repeat accurately to keep the wildlife and tree motifs aligned across seams.

Installation Tips:

Prepare the wall by removing old paper and filling cracks with a smooth filler.
Apply a coat of primer to ensure the adhesive bonds evenly.
Use a plumb line to ensure the first strip is perfectly vertical.
Carefully match the pattern at the eye level for the most seamless look.

Care Instructions:

Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth if cleaning is necessary.
Avoid using harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or excessive water which may damage the print surface or metallic details.
