FAQs
Who designed this wallpaper?
This design is a reproduction of an original piece by C.F.A. Voysey, a renowned English architect and textile designer of the Arts & Crafts movement.
Is this wallpaper pre-pasted?
No, this is a traditional wallpaper that requires the application of a high-quality wallpaper paste to the wall or the back of the paper, depending on your preferred installation method.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, this pattern is also available in Beige (DVIWSQ101) and Blue (DVIWSQ103).
Can I use this in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for high-humidity environments like bathrooms, as the paper may warp or peel over time due to moisture exposure.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
You should measure the total width and height of the walls you intend to cover, accounting for the pattern repeat, and consult with your installer or use a professional wallpaper calculator to determine the exact number of rolls needed.
Is the paper easy to remove later?
The ease of removal depends on the type of adhesive used. It is recommended to use a high-quality wallpaper primer before installation to facilitate easier removal in the future.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams between wallpaper drops
Ensure that your wall surface is primed and that you are using the correct adhesive for the paper weight; overlaps or gaps can often be smoothed if caught while the paste is still wet.
Pattern appears misaligned
Check that the vertical plumb line is perfectly straight before hanging the first drop and ensure each subsequent strip matches the pattern repeat precisely at the eye-level mark.
Bubbles forming under the paper
Gently press the bubbles toward the nearest seam using a smooth wallpaper brush or a felt smoother to move the excess air or paste out from under the sheet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this product is best handled by a professional installer who is familiar with matching patterned wallpapers. Before hanging, ensure your walls are properly primed and smoothed, as surface imperfections can show through under the paper. For care, keep the wallpaper away from high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where steam could compromise the adhesive or the paper surface. To clean, use a very soft, dry dusting cloth to remove cobwebs or surface dust. Avoid liquid cleaners or scrubbing, as the material is not designed for heavy-duty wet cleaning.
