FAQs
What is a 'free pattern match'?
A free pattern match means that the pattern on each strip of wallpaper does not need to align perfectly with the pattern on the adjacent strip. This can make installation simpler and reduce waste, as you don't need to be as precise with matching.
What type of adhesive should I use?
For non-woven wallpaper like this, it is recommended to use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive specifically formulated for non-woven or 'paste-the-wall' papers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
While durable, this wallpaper has an uncoated finish and is not specifically designed for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens. It can be used in powder rooms but is best kept away from direct steam or water splashes.
How do I clean this wallpaper?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the paper's finish.
What are the dimensions of the wallpaper roll?
Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's listing for the exact dimensions of the wallpaper roll, as this can vary.
Can I paint over this wallpaper?
This wallpaper is designed to be used as is. Painting over it is not recommended as it may alter the texture and appearance, and could affect its adhesion and durability.
What is the expected lifespan of this wallpaper?
With proper installation and care, non-woven wallpapers generally last for many years, typically 10-15 years or more, depending on environmental factors and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or! peeling after application
Ensure the wall was clean, dry, and properly primed. Re-apply paste to the affected area and smooth out firmly. Check that the correct type of paste for non-woven wallpaper was used.
Difficulty smoothing wallpaper
Ensure you are using a soft smoothing tool (like a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother) and working from the center outwards. Do not use excessive force.
Uneven color or pattern in strips
This is generally not an issue with manufacturing but rather how the light reflects. Ensure consistent lighting in the room. If there are significant color variations, check if different batches were accidentally mixed.
Paste not adhering well
Verify that the correct type of paste for non-woven wallpaper has been used and mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the paste is applied evenly to the wall.

Cons
- Free pattern match requires careful consideration during installation to minimize waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This wallpaper is designed for easy application due to its non-woven nature. It typically requires a specific wallpaper paste suitable for non-woven or 'paste-the-wall' papers, which should be applied directly to the wall. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and properly primed before application. Due to the free pattern match, carefully plan your cuts to achieve the desired look, though exact pattern alignment between strips is not required.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces that have been prepared and primed. Avoid application on overly textured or damp surfaces.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as the uncoated finish may be sensitive. Spot clean spills promptly to prevent staining.
