FAQs

What is the best way to prepare walls for this wallpaper?

Walls should be clean, dry, smooth, and free from dust or grease. Remove any loose paint or old wallpaper. Applying a wallpaper primer is highly recommended for best adhesion and ease of removal later.

Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it can be used in areas with low moisture, it is not recommended for very humid environments like steamy bathrooms or kitchens directly behind cooktops, as excessive moisture can affect adhesion and durability.

How do I clean this wallpaper?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.

How much wallpaper do I need?

Measure the width and height of your walls and calculate the total square footage. Account for pattern repeat and potential waste due to trimming and matching. It's always best to order slightly more than calculated to ensure a perfect match and cover any mistakes.

Is this wallpaper removable?

Most wallpapers are strippable when dry, meaning they can be peeled off in large pieces. However, proper wall preparation and adhesive choice can impact removability. Always check specific product instructions if guaranteed strippability is a concern.

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

The specific pattern repeat measurement is not provided in the product description, but generally, checkered patterns require careful alignment for a seamless look. Always allow extra material for pattern matching.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper is not sticking well

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth, and primed). Check that the correct adhesive is being used and applied evenly. Verify that the wallpaper is not over-saturated if using paste-the-paper method.

Bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging

Gently lift the affected section and re-smooth it using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards. Ensure even pressure is applied during smoothing.

Difficulty matching the pattern repeat

Take your time when aligning subsequent panels. Ensure you are cutting panels with enough overlap to accommodate the pattern match. It may be helpful to use a plumb line or spirit level for accurate vertical alignment.

Color appears different than expected

Ensure you are viewing the wallpaper in consistent lighting conditions. Check the batch number on your rolls to confirm they are from the same dye lot, as slight variations can occur between batches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or paint flakes.
  2. Prime the walls with a suitable wallpaper primer for optimal adhesion.
  3. Measure and cut wallpaper panels, allowing for pattern repeat and trimming.
  4. Apply adhesive according to the wallpaper manufacturer's instructions (paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper).
  5. Hang panels, ensuring they are straight and pattern-matched, smoothing out any bubbles.

Compatibility:

Suitable for most interior walls, including drywall, plaster, and previously painted surfaces (ensure paint is well-adhered).

Care:

Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the wallpaper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
