FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Luxe Timber design?
The main benefit is its ability to create a warm, textured, and natural ambiance in a room with a realistic woodgrain effect, enhancing the overall decor.
Is this wallpaper suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?
While it adds texture, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture areas. It's best suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where moisture levels are moderate.
How should I prepare my walls before hanging this wallpaper?
Walls should be clean, dry, smooth, and free from any loose paint or old wallpaper. Fill any cracks or holes and sand them smooth.
Can I remove this wallpaper easily later?
Most Arthouse wallpapers are strippable, meaning they can be removed in dry sheets when you want to redecorate. Always check the specific product details for confirmation.
What tools do I need for application?
You will typically need wallpaper paste, a pasting brush or roller, a smoothing brush or tool, a sharp utility knife, a straight edge, a tape measure, and a sponge.
How do I clean the wallpaper if it gets dirty?
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing to preserve the finish.
Does the Ivory colourway fade over time?
The colour is designed to be durable, but like all wallpapers, prolonged direct sunlight may cause slight fading over extended periods. It's advisable to use window coverings in very sunny rooms.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or creases appear during application.
Gently smooth out bubbles with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards. If creases are significant, you may need to lift the paper and reapply.
Pattern does not align correctly between strips.
Ensure you are using the correct overlap or butt joint as per the specific hanging instructions. Adjust the positioning of the second strip carefully before the paste sets.
Wallpaper is difficult to cut.
Use a sharp utility knife or a new razor blade for clean cuts. A steady hand and a straight edge can help achieve precise trimming.
Paste is showing through the seams.
Wipe away excess paste immediately with a clean, damp sponge or cloth. Ensure paste is applied evenly and not excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth before application. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint. Apply wallpaper paste to the wall or the paper, following the manufacturer's specific instructions for this product. Cut strips to size, allowing for a slight overlap at the ceiling and baseboard. Carefully align the pattern on subsequent strips to maintain the continuous woodgrain effect.
Compatibility: This wallpaper is generally compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives. It is suitable for application on plaster, drywall, or previously wallpapered surfaces (after preparation).
Care: To clean, use a slightly damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe away dust or minor marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paper and its finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
