FAQs

What is the 'Strawberry Thief' design inspired by?

The 'Strawberry Thief' design by William Morris was inspired by his observations of the thrushes stealing strawberries from his kitchen garden at Kelmscott Manor.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a small room?

Yes, this wallpaper features a reduced scale of the iconic design, making it suitable for decorating spaces of all shapes and sizes, including smaller rooms or accent walls.

How do I clean this wallpaper?

You can clean the wallpaper gently with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the material and print.

What type of paste should I use?

It is recommended to use a high-quality, pre-mixed wallpaper paste suitable for the type of wallpaper (e.g., paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper). Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

Generally, you can hang wallpaper over existing paper if the old paper is sound, flat, and securely adhered. However, for best results and a smooth finish, it is always recommended to remove old wallpaper and prepare the wall surface.

What are the dimensions of a single roll?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's specifications for the exact dimensions (length and width) of a single roll of this wallpaper.

Is the 'Denim/Spice' colourway suitable for all types of lighting?

The 'Denim/Spice' colourway is rich and complex. It tends to look good in various lighting conditions, with the blues offering a cooler tone and the spice accents providing warmth. It's always advisable to view a sample in your intended space if possible.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or imperfections appear after hanging.

Gently lift the edge of the affected strip and re-smooth with a wallpaper brush or smoother. Ensure paste is applied evenly and walls are prepared correctly.

Pattern does not align correctly.

Carefully adjust the strip while the paste is still wet. Ensure you are using the correct cutting and hanging sequence, and check that the first strip was hung perfectly level.

Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall.

Check that the correct type of wallpaper paste has been used and applied generously. Ensure walls are properly primed and free from dust or grease.

Colour variation between strips.

This can sometimes occur due to batch differences. Ensure all rolls used in the same area are from the same batch. Contact supplier if significant variation is present.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  3. Carefully measure and cut your wallpaper lengths, paying attention to pattern matching for adjacent strips.
  4. Apply the recommended wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the paper or directly to the wall, following the paste manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Hang the first strip level, then butt subsequent strips together, aligning the pattern precisely.
  6. Smooth down the paper using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously papered surfaces (if sound).
  • Not recommended for areas with high moisture or direct steam, such as bathrooms or kitchens, unless specifically stated by the manufacturer for such use.
