FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use?

It is recommended to use a high-quality, pre-mixed wallpaper adhesive suitable for paper-based wallpapers. Always check the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for compatibility.

Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?

While the surface is spongeable, this wallpaper is made of paper and is not recommended for areas with high humidity or direct water splash like a shower enclosure. It can be used in a powder room if ventilation is good, but it's best suited for drier interior spaces.

How do I clean a stubborn mark?

For stubborn marks, use a sponge lightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Gently wipe the area and then rinse by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using abrasive cleaners.

What does 'FSC-certified' mean?

FSC-certified means the paper used for the wallpaper comes from forests managed responsibly, ensuring they are environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable.

Can I hang this wallpaper myself?

Yes, this wallpaper can be hung by a DIY enthusiast. Ensure you follow standard wallpapering techniques, including proper surface preparation, adhesive application, and pattern matching.

How much coverage does one roll provide?

One roll of this wallpaper measures 10 meters in length and 0.53 meters in width, providing coverage for approximately 5.3 square meters of wall space.

What is the pattern repeat of this wallpaper?

The pattern repeat information is not specified in the product details. It is advisable to check the product packaging or contact the retailer for precise pattern repeat measurements if precise alignment is critical for your design.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or 'blisters' appearing after application

Gently lift the edge of the affected wallpaper strip while the adhesive is still wet and smooth it down firmly with a wallpaper brush or roller to remove trapped air. If the adhesive has dried, a syringe can sometimes be used to inject adhesive under the bubble.

Pattern doesn't align correctly between strips

Ensure you are using a 'butt-join' method where edges meet precisely without overlap. Adjust the positioning of the subsequent strip before the adhesive sets. If the issue persists, check if the wallpaper is stretching unevenly due to moisture or improper handling.

Wallpaper appears faded or colors are dull

This is unlikely with new wallpaper but could indicate prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Position artwork or furniture to offer some protection if this becomes a concern over time. Ensure the wallpaper was not exposed to excessive moisture during installation or cleaning.

Difficulty removing wallpaper during redecoration

Ensure the wallpaper was applied with a standard adhesive. Use a wallpaper steamer or a solution of warm water and mild detergent to soften the adhesive before attempting to peel it off. Score stubborn areas lightly with a scoring tool to allow the solution to penetrate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and captivating design sparks imagination.
  • Environmentally conscious materials (FSC certified, water-based inks).
  • Practical maintenance with a spongeable surface.
  • High-quality print and durable paper substrate.
  • Transforms a room into a magical, storybook setting.

Cons

  • The intricate and colorful pattern may be overwhelming for small spaces or minimalist aesthetics.
  • Requires careful pattern matching during installation, which can increase waste and installation time.
  • As a paper-based product, it may not be as durable in high-moisture areas like bathrooms without proper sealing.
  • Spongeable but not fully washable, limiting deep cleaning options.
  • The specific animal and floral theme might not appeal to all tastes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Apply wallpaper to a clean, dry, and smooth surface. It's recommended to use a suitable wallpaper adhesive and follow the manufacturer's instructions for pasting the paper or wall. Ensure proper pattern matching between strips for a seamless finish.

Compatibility: This wallpaper is best suited for interior walls in living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms. It performs well on standard interior wall surfaces that are properly prepared. Avoid using in areas of extremely high humidity or direct water exposure without appropriate protective measures.

Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the paper and ink. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth.
