The Acanthus pattern was originally created in 1874 and remains one of the most iconic designs from the Morris & Co archives.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?

Is this wallpaper prepasted?
No, this product requires the application of a high-quality wallpaper paste during installation.
Does the blue color match all interior styles?
The blue is designed to be versatile, pairing well with both neutral furniture and bold, contrasting wood or metal finishes.
Troubleshooting
Pattern does not align at seams
Check the pattern repeat specifications and ensure you are staggering the strips correctly according to the design offset.
Visible seams between strips
Ensure the adhesive is applied evenly to the edges of the paper and use a seam roller gently to press the joints together.
Bubbles appearing after hanging
Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to push excess paste or trapped air toward the nearest edge while the adhesive is still wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the wall surface is smooth, clean, and primed before hanging. Given the large scale of the Acanthus design, it is recommended to calculate the pattern repeat carefully before cutting strips to avoid mid-wall misalignment. Use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for heavy-duty papers to ensure long-term adhesion. To maintain the wallpaper, avoid direct contact with water. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp sponge with light pressure to remove surface dust. Keep the wallpaper away from direct, high-heat sources to prevent fading or curling over time.
