Product Information

Full details

This Arthouse Scallop Shells Blue Wallpaper is designed for homeowners seeking to add a tranquil, vintage character to their bathrooms or serene bedrooms. Its key benefit is the ability to create a calming coastal vibe with an Art Deco-inspired repeating fan-shaped shell pattern in gentle blue and grey hues. A potential caveat is that the textured emboss creates a weathered, matte finish, which may not suit modern, high-gloss aesthetics.

FAQs

What type of paste should I use for this wallpaper?

It is recommended to use a good quality, heavy-duty wallpaper paste suitable for textured or vinyl wallpapers. Always follow the specific recommendations on the wallpaper packaging or consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Can this wallpaper be used in a kitchen?

While primarily recommended for bathrooms and bedrooms, it can be used in a kitchen if it is not a high-moisture or high-grease area. Ensure good ventilation and wipe clean any splatters immediately.

How do I clean the textured surface?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, as this can damage the embossed matte finish.

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's specifications for the exact pattern repeat measurement. This is crucial for accurate pattern matching during installation.

Is this wallpaper washable?

The wallpaper has a wipeable finish, meaning light marks can be cleaned with a damp cloth. It is not considered fully washable in the same way as vinyl wallpapers might be.

Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

It is generally best to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. If hanging over existing paper, ensure it is flat, well-adhered, and sound.

What is the overall style of this wallpaper?

The wallpaper features an Art Deco-inspired design with a repeating fan-shaped scallop shell pattern, offering a blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication with a tranquil coastal vibe.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or gaps appearing after hanging

Gently smooth out bubbles towards the nearest edge using a wallpaper brush or seam roller while the paste is still wet. If the paste has dried, you may need to carefully lift the edge and reapply paste.

Pattern does not align correctly

Ensure you are using the correct overlap or butt joint as per instructions. Slightly adjust the position of the second strip before the paste sets. Check that you are not stretching the paper, which can cause misalignment.

Wallpaper peeling at edges

Check that the edges of the wall were adequately pasted and that there is good adhesion. Apply a small amount of wallpaper adhesive to the peeling edge and press firmly back into place. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation but avoid direct drafts that can cause premature drying.

Difficult to remove air pockets

Use a small pin or a craft knife to carefully prick any stubborn air pockets and then smooth them down with a wallpaper brush or roller to seal.

Cons

  • The matte finish may show dirt more easily than a gloss finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wallpaper is designed for standard wallpaper paste application. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and properly prepared with a suitable primer. Paste the wall or the paper according to manufacturer instructions, allowing for proper booking time if required. Align patterns carefully for a seamless finish.

Compatibility: Suitable for most interior walls. It is particularly well-suited for bathrooms and bedrooms due to its design and texture. Always test in an inconspicuous area or use a sample if unsure about suitability with your specific wall surface or existing decor.

Care: To maintain the appearance, gently wipe the wallpaper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the textured finish. Regular dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment (on low suction) can help keep it looking its best.
