Full details
This Grandeco Linen Plain Cream Wallpaper is ideal for homeowners looking to add warmth and subtle elegance to classic interiors. Its key benefit is the effortless transformation of any room with a soft, fabric-like texture that also helps mask minor wall imperfections, simplifying the decorating process. A potential caveat is that the 'paste the wall' application requires specific preparation and technique, though it eliminates soaking and mess. Key features include a subtle textured weave, a soft emboss for a fabric feel, and an easy 'paste the wall' application for a seamless finish.

FAQs
What does 'paste the wall' application mean?
'Paste the wall' means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly onto the wall surface, rather than soaking the wallpaper itself. This method is generally quicker and less messy.
Can I hang this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
Yes, you can typically hang this wallpaper over existing, well-adhered wallpaper, provided the surface is sound. However, it's always best to test a small area first to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
You can clean the wallpaper by gently wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water to prevent damage to the textured surface.
What is the texture of this wallpaper?
The wallpaper features a subtle textured weave that mimics the look and feel of real fabric, along with a soft emboss for added depth.
Can this wallpaper help hide wall imperfections?
Yes, the subtle textured weave and embossed pattern are designed to help mask minor imperfections on the wall surface, contributing to a smoother overall finish.
What color family is this wallpaper?
This wallpaper belongs to the Cream colour family, offering a warm and versatile neutral shade.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen or bathroom?
While the wallpaper offers a sophisticated finish, it is generally recommended for dry interior areas like living rooms and bedrooms. For high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms, wallpapers specifically designed for such environments are usually preferred.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear after hanging
Gently lift the affected area of the wallpaper and re-smooth it onto the wall, ensuring all air is pushed out towards the edges. A wallpaper smoothing tool can help achieve a better finish.
Wallpaper not adhering well to the wall
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from dust or grease) and that sufficient paste has been applied evenly to the wall. Check if the paste is suitable for 'paste the wall' application.
Difficulty aligning patterns or textures between strips
Take your time during application. Use a spirit level to ensure the first strip is perfectly vertical, and then carefully butt the edges of subsequent strips together, aligning the textured weave for a continuous look.
Paste seems to be drying too quickly on the wall
Work in smaller sections if necessary, applying paste only to an area that can be covered by one length of wallpaper before it dries. Ensure the room temperature is not excessively high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper, dust, or grease. Minor imperfections should be addressed if significant.
- Apply Adhesive: Using a roller or brush, apply wallpaper paste directly onto the wall, covering the area where the first length of wallpaper will be hung.
- Hang Wallpaper: Unroll the wallpaper and place the edge against the ceiling, aligning it with the paste-covered wall. Smooth the wallpaper onto the wall using a brush or smoothing tool, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
- Trim Excess: Once positioned, use a sharp knife to trim any excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board.
- Continue Hanging: Apply paste to the next section of the wall and hang the subsequent length, ensuring the pattern or texture aligns precisely with the previous length for a seamless effect.
Compatibility:
- This wallpaper is designed for interior walls.
- It can be applied over most pre-existing wall coverings, provided they are sound and well-adhered. It is recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Ideal for use in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways.
Care:
- To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the textured surface.
- For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Do not scrub the surface.
