FAQs

What type of adhesive should I use?

You should use a good quality, traditional wallpaper adhesive suitable for paper-backed wallpapers. Ensure it is applied evenly to the back of the wallpaper.

How much wallpaper do I need to buy?

Measure the width and height of your walls and calculate the total square meterage. Account for the 53cm pattern repeat by adding approximately 10-15% extra to your total for waste, especially if your walls have many windows or doors.

Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom?

This is a paper wallpaper with good lightfastness but is not designed for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens. It is best suited for living areas, bedrooms, or hallways.

How do I clean the wallpaper?

Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, scrubbing, or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paper and the metallic finish.

What does 'straight pattern match' mean?

A straight pattern match means that the pattern elements align horizontally across the strips. You align the pattern edge-to-edge with the previous strip.

What is the design repeat measurement?

The design repeat is 53cm. This means that every 53cm down the roll, the pattern begins to repeat itself.

Does the metallic finish require special care?

The metallic finish adds visual depth but should be cleaned gently. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaners that could scratch or dull the metallic effect.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or creases appear after application.

Gently lift the affected area of the wallpaper and re-smooth it onto the wall, ensuring all air is pushed out towards the edges. Use a wallpaper smoother or brush.

Pattern does not align correctly.

Check that the wall is perfectly vertical and that the previous strip was hung straight. Adjust the position of the current strip before the paste fully sets. Ensure the 53cm repeat is accurately matched.

Wallpaper is not sticking well.

Ensure the correct type of wallpaper adhesive for paper-backed wallpapers has been used and applied generously to the paper. Verify the wall surface is clean, dry, and porous enough to accept the paste.

Color appears different than expected.

Check the batch number on your rolls to ensure they are all from the same production run. Lighting conditions can also affect perceived color; view in natural daylight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a luxurious and modern aesthetic to any room.
  • Easy to apply for DIY decorators.
  • Good lightfastness ensures long-lasting color.
  • The metallic finish adds a unique visual appeal.
  • Calming sage green and gold color scheme is versatile.

Cons

  • Requires careful pattern matching due to the 53cm repeat.
  • Paper material may be less durable than vinyl in high-moisture areas.
  • Paste-the-paper method can be messier than 'paste-the-wall' options.
  • Metallic finish may show imperfections more readily.
  • Design repeat necessitates buying extra rolls to account for waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any cracks or holes and sand them smooth.
  2. Apply a suitable wallpaper adhesive directly to the back of the wallpaper (paste-the-paper method).
  3. Allow the paste to 'sit' for the recommended time (usually a few minutes) to allow it to become tacky.
  4. Hang the first strip vertically, ensuring it is level using a spirit level.
  5. Butt the edge of the next strip against the first, aligning the 53cm pattern repeat carefully.
  6. Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
  7. Trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board with a sharp blade.

Compatibility:

This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously papered surfaces (provided they are in good condition and the old paper is firmly adhered).

Care:

  • Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the paper and the metallic finish.
  • Do not scrub the surface.
  • Due to its paper composition, it is best suited for areas with low humidity and away from direct sources of moisture.
