FAQs

What is the background effect of this wallpaper?

The wallpaper features a plaster effect background, which adds a subtle texture and depth to the overall design.

What kind of pattern does this wallpaper have?

It has a decorative pattern of jungle leaves overlaid on the plaster effect background.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen or bathroom?

While it can be used in areas like a powder room, it is generally best suited for living areas, bedrooms, or studies. For very humid environments like kitchens or bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation and consider using a specific kitchen/bathroom wallpaper or a protective sealant.

How much wallpaper do I need?

Measure the width and height of your walls and calculate the total square footage. Account for pattern repeat, which means you'll need slightly more than the exact area to ensure the pattern matches across seams. It's usually recommended to buy an extra roll.

What tools are needed for application?

Essential tools include a sharp craft knife or scissors, a pasting brush or roller, a wallpaper smoother or brush, a spirit level, a tape measure, and a clean water bucket.

Can this wallpaper be painted over?

This wallpaper is designed as a decorative finish on its own. Painting over it is not recommended as it may obscure the pattern and texture, and could affect adhesion.

How durable is the mocha brown colourway?

The colourway is designed for interior use and should maintain its appearance under normal conditions. Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or ridges appearing after application

Carefully lift the edge of the wallpaper where the bubble is and re-adhere, smoothing out the air. Use a sharp craft knife to prick a small hole in stubborn bubbles and press flat.

Pattern not matching up between strips

Ensure you are carefully aligning the pattern repeat before applying the strip. If a slight mismatch occurs, you may need to adjust the position of the strip slightly or trim excess from one edge.

Wallpaper not sticking to the wall

Check if the correct type of paste was used and applied evenly. Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared and primed. For some surfaces, a stronger paste might be required.

Difficulty removing air bubbles

Use a syringe to inject a small amount of paste behind the bubble and press firmly, or carefully prick the bubble with a fine needle and smooth down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper, paint, or debris.
  2. Apply a suitable wallpaper primer to the wall for better adhesion and easier future removal.
  3. Measure and cut your wallpaper strips, allowing for pattern repeat and an overlap at the ceiling and skirting board.
  4. Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the back of the wallpaper or directly to the wall, following the paste manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Hang the first strip plumb (perfectly vertical) using a spirit level.
  6. Smooth out air bubbles and excess paste with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards.
  7. Match the pattern on subsequent strips carefully.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is sound and not peeling).

Care:

To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the pattern or texture. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure the wallpaper dries thoroughly.
